Editorial Reviews for Celestial Beings Book

"Barbara Scherek's 'Celestial Beings of Heaven and Nature Meditation Coloring Book' brings one to the sacred heart center, where the hidden side of life reveals itself wondrously. I recommend it to everyone."
- Marshall Govindan of Babji's Kriya Yoga and Publications, Quebec, Canada

"The Heart - Center of the Being - is always chanting the pure, primordial sound which also manifests in many colors. When the mind is calm and drawn inwards, this sound is perceived as also the associated colors. Each chakra has a Deva or deity who sits at the center with hands in specific gestures called mudras. Meditative painting is one of the many ways of accessing these sounds, colors and deity visions. This visionary book by a young spiritually rich artist is an innovative approach to create the necessary prerequisites to make such an experience possible."
- T.M. Srinivasan, Ph.D., Founding Board Member and Past President, International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, Phoenix, Arizona

"In her beautiful illustrations Barbara Scherek has brought together the art and science of medicine, both East and West. Anyone using her illustrations would find a truly spiritual connection with the divine."
- Gladys T. McGarey, M.D., M.D. (H) Founding Board Member and Past President of American Holistic Association, Scottsdale, Arizona

Customer Reviews for Celestial Beings Book

"I have some heart issues to work on and this book is perfect for me. I turn on some classical music and color whenever I have a half hour block. Thank you Barbara!"
- Jana Barberio, Holly, MI, USA

"I highly recommend Barbara Scherek's 'Celestial Beings of Heaven and Nature Meditation Coloring Book'. I color to relax and also to let out the frustrated artist within. There are 13 illustrations which represent the four elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth and correspond to the four quadrants of being which are the Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical. With this in mind, sitting down, clearing my mind, and listening to soft music I created my own artwork (with Barbara's help) using colored pencils. Each illustration took me at least two hours to complete. That was two hours of relaxation, with a bonus of getting in touch with my creative side. If you have stress in your life this is a perfect outlet, even if you haven't colored since you were a child."
- A reader from Philadelphia, PA, USA

"In her book 'Celestial Beings of Heaven and Nature Meditation Coloring Book', Barbara's imaginative original designs are thought provoking and captivating. Although some have mistaken her images as computer generated drawings, their precision reflects the skill and meticulous free hand acumen characteristic of Barbara's artistic style. They enable one to enter into an extraordinary celestial world of coloring playfulness while heartfully engaging the participant's total being. Her book has the capacity to raise one's inner awareness to a level commensurate with an expanded heart flame. Her images encourage one to express a delicate colorful balance between one's inner and outer realities. The 12 consecutive hand mudras depicted in her images echo healing ordered gestures such as those found in Tai Chi movements. And in a similar way they can be effective tools for meditatively centering and balancing a person's energy forcefield. In essence, coloring these illustrations can draw one into a still meditation upon the ordered subtle energy flow of the heart to effect positive changes in one's heart flame. It is truly an amazing book that can be beneficial to anyone seeking to create more harmony in their life."
