Virtue Affirmation Mandalas – A Coloring Book for All Ages with designs from Howard Jacobs, Joe Paczkowski and Justice Saint Rain

Mandalas of Virtue

A Coloring Book of Positive Affirmations

Relax, Color, and Cultivate Positive Thoughts

Coloring isn’t just for children! Many adults enjoy coloring as a way to slow down, focus their attention, take a break from daily stresses, and express their creativity. Positive affirmations offer another way to encourage a more uplifting outlook by reminding us of the qualities we want to nurture in ourselves.

This unique coloring book brings these two activities together. It combines beautiful mandala designs with positive affirmations and 60 spiritual virtues, giving you a creative way to relax while reflecting on the qualities that help us grow.

60 Mandalas, 60 Virtues, and a Circle of Affirmations

The book features 60 beautiful mandala images, each paired with a spiritual virtue. But there’s something special about the virtue pages: each one includes a circular affirmation built around the name of the virtue.

For example:

• Kindness: “I feel kind because I am kind.”
• Happiness: “I feel happy because I am happy.”

The affirmations form a circle, visually reinforcing the connection between how we feel and the virtues we practice. As your eyes follow the words around the circle, the affirmation becomes a gentle reminder of the quality you’re exploring.

You can repeat the affirmation as you color, reflect on what the virtue means to you, or simply enjoy the design. Either way, the combination of color, words, and reflection offers a refreshing way to spend a little time nurturing your well-being.

These circular affirmations also inspired our Character Coins, which offer another way to keep positive virtues in mind throughout the day.

Beautiful Art, Even If You’re Not an Artist

You don’t need artistic experience to enjoy this book. The mandalas provide the patterns; you choose the colors. There is no single right way to complete a design, so feel free to experiment with colors and combinations that appeal to you.

For the best results, try:

• Colored pencils for gentle shading and blending.
• Fine-tipped, water-based markers for bright, defined colors.
• Well-sharpened crayons for a classic coloring experience.

You can combine these materials to create different effects and make each mandala your own. We recommend avoiding permanent markers because they can bleed through the paper and affect other pages.

Enjoy Your Finished Artwork

While you may hesitate to remove pages from a book, these designs are meant to be enjoyed! If you’d like to display a finished mandala, you can carefully cut the page out and hang it somewhere you’ll see it.

The binding holds the pages securely, so don’t try to pull them out by hand. Instead, carefully cut along the inner edge with a suitable cutting tool, taking care to protect yourself and the surrounding pages.

Three Artists, One Inspiring Collection

The mandalas and virtue designs come from three talented artists:

• Joe Paczkowski: Explore more of his work at joepaczk.com.
• Howard Jacobs: A Bahá’í artist from the Wilmette area.
• Justice Saint Rain: An artist who transforms the names of virtues into colorable designs.

Together, their work makes this collection a distinctive blend of artistic expression and positive reflection.
