Here are some suggestions that they have about coloring: “Coloring allows to unlock your creative potential. Perhaps more important, it helps relieve tension and anxiety. It unlocks memories of childhood and simpler times. As psychologist Antoni Martínez explains: “I recommend it as a relaxation technique. We can use it to enter a more creative, freer state. I recommend it in a quiet environment, even with chill music. Let the color and the lines flow.””

Here are a few examples”

Here is what Desirée has to say about mandala coloring “You can think about mandala coloring pages as letting your inner child emerge and also have a fun time, or you might think about this activity as a kind of meditation. Selecting colors and also the gentle, tiresome motion of the hands while you bring color to paper helps calm the mind–getting your usual rapid-fire ideas lower to some much reduced pace.”

Desirée Ossandon  is a writer and multidisciplinary artist as well as the founder, writer/editor, and community manager of Canada Arts Connect.
