Mind, Body & Spirit
Within the Wisdom of My Soul - A Life's Journey is a spiritual book with fifty-two weekly meditative affirmations and beautiful illustrations. These have a broad appeal, suitable for adults of all ages (children might also enjoy colouring some of the designs and animals).
The book encourages the reader to dip in at any time to help de-stress and listen to the still, small, inner voice within (otherwise known as the soul). This can be done while mindfully colouring or repeating the affirmation. The additional space provided also enables the reader to jot down their reflections or 'a-ha' moments, helping them to instil a sense of awareness and profound inner peace. This book can also be used randomly in any order and works well as a mini journal.
The fifty-two affirmations can help create a positive change in one's inner dialogue by replacing old thought patterns with positive and affirming new ones. They can also help the reader gain insights or different perspectives regarding physical, emotional, mental or spiritual challenges to support one's well-being. A timeless gift - for those you love or for yourself!
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This beautiful book is so much more than your regular adult colouring book. The meditations lift it into a different dimension which have helped me to renew my inner peace. I have ongoing challenges in my life just now and have often lost the sense of my inner core, but when I spend time to contemplate and reflect on the meditations whilst doing the colouring, stress dissolves and I lose/find myself in a calmer, more accepting place. I re-member what my Higher Wisdom already knows but I may have forgotten, so the book has become my go-to place of the Self. Some of the designs have spaces which have attracted me to fill with patterns or symbols which inspire me. It feels like an open door to discover new aspects of my creativity and I love that the book offers such an invitation. I like to use glitter gel pens for their vibrancy as well as ‘normal’ colouring pencils and the quality paper is such that the pens don’t bleed through. Thank you, Yoda and Malvina for birthing this beautiful book. I can’t recommend it highly enough for others to dive into. It’s the most beautiful gift to yourself.
Within the Wisdom of My Soul is truly a life’s journey of meditative affirmations expressed in lovely coloring illustrations. I always wonder how such creativity comes to fruition. Yoda Christou expresses it so well by reflecting the nature within our deepest senses. Yoda lives in UK and is an international qualified teacher and practitioner of health & well being. She partnered with Malvina Ishutina from Ukraine. Malvina is a very talented graphic designer, international illustrator who brings to life the meaning of this book. Powerful duo that I proudly support. Nothing calms the souls more than the power of nature. Peace, calm and joy is what you’ll find in this book. You find yourself breathing more calming and reflecting on your heart and mind while you can allow imagination to flow freely through your colors. As you enter the world of meditative affirmations, it starts so appropriately with “My Heart” - infinite wisdom dwells within my heart - pause and reflect, the illustration is extraordinary. Each page has significance and while I was moving forward contemplating each meaning I paused more at the page of courage which says “I am blessed with the courage of a lion” - made me smile, from day one of the war I referred to all Ukrainians as lions - truly blessed with the strongest hearts, courage and dignity. But now I know, we all have deep inside us the courage of a lion, it just has to be challenged and it surfaces. I highly recommend this book, let it take you through the 52 positive thinking journey and allow your heart and mind to find the wisdom you desire.
This book is filled with much light and beauty. It opened my heart and my soul felt nourished and loved. I was caught up in the illustrations and the bold words. The illustrations made me come alive and my hands were electric .A sacred inner space and the book was blessed by God and the Universe. It was stunning and surreal. It was like the deer on the cover was looking straight into my soul. The illustrations were vibrational portals and so beautiful. Loved the angels, roses and the geometric shapes. A very rare book that opens the soul like a lotus flower. Powerful, uplifting, and filled with joy and self-discovery. Enjoy the process and expand your life!!
What a great joy in mindfulness this book provides, many an hour of self work, in the moment have been enjoyed so far, well recommended.
What a beautiful way, to get myself in the present moment and totally forget about any stress in life! Thank you for the beautiful Art and inspiring words. I’ve used this to help me start my day, to take a break in the middle of my day, and to play with before bed. Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring work!
