The Ally Within: A Coloring Book Journal for Living with Autoimmune Related Diseases

If you are one of the millions of people around the world (upwards of twenty-three million in the U.S. alone) who have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (or multiple autoimmune diseases), you know all too well the uncertainties, adjustments, trials, and see-sawing emotions of coping with the disease’s effects.

The Ally Within invites you to reflect gently upon your circumstances, and take respite in the calming activity of coloring. The book’s journal prompts are designed to invite you to write about the practical and emotional aspects of living with an autoimmune-related disease. The mandalas and abstract patterns provide an opportunity to disengage from concerns and fears, allowing your mind and senses to flow with colors and creative self-discovery.
