Color Therapy
You may be asking:
- I’m an adult! Why should I color?
As it turns out coloring isn’t just for little ones, There are quite a few therapeutic benefits to take away from coloring as an adult! While coloring pages for kids are designed to teach children to color “within the lines,” adult coloring pages are composed of more ornate and complex patterns.
These patterns and designs are specifically developed to:
- Lengthen the attention span
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Keep the brain active
- Help you get in touch with your creative side
Adult coloring books have been a huge hit these past few years, as many folks have been stuck at home during the pandemic looking for something creative to do. Since this time, coloring has been a popular creative outlet for many and new coloring books line the store’s shelves every month! It’s good to wind down and re-center during uncertain and demanding times. Hobbies to help de-stress can do wonders for the mind and body!
The Mandala Effect
In a therapy study, 84 undergrad students were assigned to color a mandala, a plaid pattern, or a blank sheet. Results showed that anxiety levels declined in the mandala groups more so than in the others. This suggests that coloring geometric designs or patterns can trigger a meditative state and relax the individual coloring!
Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning “circle”, in a metaphorical sense it represents higher thought and deeper meaning. Tibetian culture has used the mandala as a tool to promote meditation for centuries. The first known image of a mandala appears in the Rig Veda an ancient Hindu text.
