Publisher's Synopsis
Coloring is not just for children.
According to psychologists, it helps fight stress.
When we grow up, we put aside
our felt-tip pens and colored pencils but coloring
can be extremely beneficial even for adults.
When we color we activate different areas of the brain,
associated with motor skills, senses and creativity.
The practice arouses well-being and calm.
The Mandala originates from India but is present
in all cultures with its circular shape
that represents life, birth, maturity, rebirth,
symbolisms that allow us to concentrate
on ourselves and ward off negative thoughts.
The activity of coloring has a de-stressing effect
because when we focus on a particular action,
we focus on it and not on our concerns.
It stimulates our imagination
and brings us back to our childhood.
But coloring can also help us connect with our emotions.
Just do it in a quiet environment perhaps with relaxing music.
Let the color and lines flow through.
