Spirituality meets Mental Health in this Feel Better Book "This book is absolutely amazing. ALL MY CLIENTS WILL WANT THIS! Must have for therapists. MUST HAVE!" Nicole Kane Knepper
Adult coloring and activity journal, From Dust to Essence, features artwork by Michelle Grewe inspired by Tattoos and Zen Doodles. The book is designed to heal, strengthen the spirit, improve mental health, and explore your inner self. It's like a devotional but without religion.
While spiritual components were inspired by Christianity, the 7 Heavenly Virtues, Zen, and the Tao, the book itself has no real religion and instead lets the reader define his/her own religion and spirituality. For instance, instead of saying who God is, it asks you to think about who God should be.
Coloring images include a unicorn, a tiger fighting a dragon, a lion, a feminine elephant and swan, and other animals in addition to some quotes and word-based images. The book is also filled with psychology worksheets designed to creatively map out feelings and coping strategies. In addition, you can fill pages with journal entries based on Finish-the-Sentence style writing prompts.
Topics of focus include redefining yourself with the Tao's Uncarved Block (Pu), letting go of material things and emotions based on Buddhism, creating an anger mantra, discovering what is amazing about yourself, improving relationships, and finding inner peace.
