Spiritual Doodles and Mental Leapfrogs


Book Description

With a whimsical sense of fun and fancy that masks a much more serious quest to integrate your conscious and subconscious selves, Katherine Revoir has created a playbook full of exercises and games to ignite your best self -- both your rational, analytical, and logical (left brain) self and your intuitive, expressive, and creative (right brain) self. By using both halves of the brain, you can achieve more complete introspection and expand your spiritual consciousness. Hand-lettered, lay-flat pages make doodling easy. The book begins with an exercise designed to access inner guidance, creating a pathway for finding your own unique formula for self-expression. Spiritual Doodles and Mental Leapfrogs gives readers a private, powerful tool to experiment with creativity, to try something new, and to grow spiritually.

Book Description

Named one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2017 by Spirituality & Practice!
