Zen Coloring:

There is Zen within mindfully coloring intricate patterns that promotes relaxation and mental clarity. Meditative art therapy is a transformative practice; it helps rewire the brain from chaos to calm.

Choosing and mixing colors, then filling in complex designs, diverts attention from stress and anxiety; thereby shifting from chaotic thoughts to a more serene state.

Neurotransmitters like dopamine enhance mood and provide a sense of accomplishment.

 

Whether you color with crayons, colored pencils or pens, watercolor or paints; take care to maintain a meditative state.

Use the space at the bottom of each page to reflect on ideas or insights that arise while coloring.
