Meditation and Mindfulness Coloring Book - a Surprise Castle exclusive

24 hand-illustrated scenes for the slow inhale, from a layered cumulus cloud to a lotus on still water.

Sit. Breathe out. Begin.

A hand-drawn adult coloring book, 24 scenes that run from rainfall ripples and bamboo stalks to yin-yang circles and mountain ranges. The pace is set by a slow exhale and the soft drift of a single feather, not the next notification.

Step under layered cumulus clouds stacked across the page. Walk to a circular frame of clouds, stars, and water ripples. Pull up to a soaring bird among clouds and four-pointed stars. Then to a sunset half-disc on the horizon with rippled water below.

The pages keep moving. A winding mountain road through a valley of peaks and trees. Rain falling from clouds, teardrops creating concentric ripples on water. Multiple flowing curved lines with small leaves drifting upward. Bamboo stalks with jointed segments and feathered leaf clusters.

Wander through the practice. Three flowing ribbon-like streams with stars scattered. Two hands cupping a glowing orb in concentric energy rings. Six feathers drifting on wavy wind. A male figure meditating in lotus, energy streams rising to clouds.

Keep going. A closed-face profile with radiating light. A yin-yang symbol surrounded by curved lines and stars. An open window with curtains framing a landscape. A massive tree with cloud-canopy and visible roots. Four rocky mounds with concentric rings above. A great feather among flowing wind currents. Hands in prayer with radiating beams. A mountain range with three peaks above forest. Concentric circles radiating from a central sun. A male figure cross-legged in meditation with inner light. A lotus flower with layered petals on still water. And to close, an open book with rising ribbons and floating leaves.

There's a reason coloring sticks around. It gives a busy mind somewhere to land, and in this case that somewhere is the petal of a lotus or the slow ring of a raindrop's ripple. Some pages are bold and forgiving. Others will eat a whole afternoon. Works fine with colored pencils, fine-tip markers, or gel pens.

If you know someone with a daily meditation practice, a friend who keeps a Headspace subscription year after year, or anyone who reads Pema Chödrön on the train, this is for them. It's also for the person who'd quietly rather shade a lotus pond on a Saturday than scroll.

Take one breath.
