Note: I have NOT finished. Then finish colouring and post the final one again ❤

Hello To All My Readers, Blogging Friends and All My Followers ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as much as possible. Thought of writing about Mandala Art. Hope All of You are in Good Health, and “Keeping yourself Positive and Motivated as Best as possible in these times”. Today I am writing about How you can Relax with “Drawing Mandala and Relaxing as well as keeping yourself Occupied!

You can draw a simple Mandala. As it is popular these days. No need of books itself You can see on the I net or just imagine one on your own. A little info about mandalas. Mandala is a Sanskrit word loosely meaning circle. They are intricate, repeating geometric shapes that make up a circle. Basically mandalas symbolize our universe, and the idea that everything in our universe is connected. If you are making these with kids, these will give them a taste of design, proportion, symmetry, and working with abstraction. Plus, they are meditative (Mindful). And beautiful. It is said that drawing a Mandala can be extremely relaxing and a healing activity. Here is a video on drawing a mandala to help you get started. If drawing is not your thing, then you can even buy ready made Mandalas and color them instead.
Directions: Trace a big circle on a piece of paper. We used an old plate (at least they’re getting used for something. Cut out the circle carefully – hold 2 pieces of paper together to double time your cutting process, since you will want to be making more than one of these things. Kids can easily make their own easy mandalas with this folding trick, and use personal symbols or random abstract shapes to make this art project.

Below is what I have coloured so far. If you have done differently which is obvious You can take other copies and do hem again need not colour the same way. Or take tracing paper and draw the same thing!

Here is a little more information: Cultures sometimes seen as religious images also, around the world have drawn Mandala for centuries. You can use many different things from, “Paint to sand”. All Mandalas have the, “Same Radial Symmetry” (From the central point, a symmetrical design radiates outwards. That means all the sections that radiate from the central point are made up of exactly similar parts. The symmetry can be vertical, horizontal, or radial. Using a ruler and pencil, draw lines of symmetry on the mandala.)~ The I net!

The first step is: Practice drawing different patterns. From “The floor, Ground you walk on, on Trees, Leaves, Flowers and Fruits, Patterns are everywhere, even in the sky. First by using simple lines, You can improve your drawing skills as well as your eyes for details, and then improve from simple patterns to more advanced, how ever You like to draw. You can use” your own blank paper or ready made ones”. Also pencils, pens, crayons, or what ever coluring things. You can also draw many shapes, or patterns such as: circles, tringles, flower petals fruits, dots, even rain drops. You can Begin: in the middle or from any place you like. Let your imagination (from the mind) Guide you. Keep in Mind the :Main aim is to: “Keep The Circular Symmetry. So if you draw a pattern. You have to Repeat in All the other sections. Do not rush as the aim is “It is Mindful (To Relax) and again feel Free and have Fun 🙂

I came across this picture. It is not exactly Mandala Art, But Mindful Colouring and also Few Questions about What do you Most enjoy and Appreciate about Night Time? You can do different Questions also. Like: Day Time, Gratitude, or any other Topic and You can write Your Answers also 🙂

Therapy ~ Art!

Hello To All My Readers and Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as much as possible. Thought of writing about Colour Therapy.  Hope All of You are in Good Health, and “Keeping yourself Positive and Motivated as Best as possible in these times”. Today I am writing about How you can Relax with “Colouring” So it is Therapy to do with Colouring. Art groups and Mandalas – are all examples of something called ‘Art as Therapy’. The term ‘Art as Therapy’ captures the idea of Creativity being beneficial for our well-being!

What makes art as therapy so beneficial?

There are two Things to do with Art:
1. Art materials themselves can be soothing and enjoyable to look at and touch.
2. We can express ourselves in a non-verbal (without speaking) way.

Art materials

Using clay as an example, this material can help us feel grounded when we start to concentrate on the feeling and texture. The moment it is first touched clay in a session, they have a reaction of surprise as it is usually a lot colder than room temperature. Another curious but pleasing effect is seeing our fingerprints show up in the clay. This is a very tactile material, which can help relax you when you’re having a stressful day. There is something indescribably pleasurable about handmade pottery, both for the user of the vessel and the potter who makes it.

Below are, “Straw Berries” they are called as they are grown on the ground usually with straw, one thing is not for mud to get, other thing is to keep safe from Birds eating them 🙂

Making Colours with Fruits and Vegetables. You can take The Juice and colour with that also!

See how “The Carrot is cut to make patterns” You can use different colours too with it 🙂

You can take some paints from The colours that are being used to pant walls. Which are very cheap Painting!

See this is also Art. Patterns done with Stones of Different shapes and Colours.

Sea shells found free on “The Sea Beach” you can make patterns. Heart shape made of seashells on the beach:)

Art Therapy: “Art can show the very deepest part of us, where one does not speak. Colouring is a Great way to forget about worrying or Thinking too much.

This is if you like to Colour. Focusing(Concentrating) and staying quiet it is fun to spend time coloring with many different and Beautiful Colours. It can be any type of colouring. You can see many different colours, shapes, Patterns as you colour. With each stroke “Your Stress is taken off” 🙂

Expression:

Expression can help us feel better because, generally, we need to get things off our chest or mind. When we do this we clear mental space and make room for insight. Now we’ve briefly looked at why it could be beneficial, let’s look at some examples of art as therapy. Get ready because it can be so, so many things 🙂

  • art group – painting, clay work, knitting, etc.
  • journaling
  • mindful mandalas
  • destress colouring books
  • paint by numbers 
  • writing poems

Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile, or fabric. It is used to create many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.

Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat or in the round (tubular). There are usually many active stitches on the knitting needle at one time. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of connected loops that intermesh with the next and previous rows. As each row is formed, each newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row and placed on the gaining needle so that the loops from the prior row can be pulled off the other needle without unraveling.

Differences in yarn (varying in fibre type, weight, uniformity and twist), needle size, and stitch type allow for a variety of knitted fabrics with different properties, including color, texture, thickness, heat retention, water resistance, and integrity. A small sample of knitwork is known as a swatch.

The list goes on. Basically, any creative expression that you enjoy can be seen as ‘Art as Therapy’. That’s great that it can help people, but what about Art Therapy?

The list goes on. Basically, any creative expression that you enjoy can be seen as ‘Art as Therapy’. That’s great that it can help people.

What is art therapy?

Art therapy is a mental health treatment, also known as “art psychotherapy“. It uses art materials to use expression alongside verbal communication, although in some cases it may be solely non-verbal (dependent on the client group). We may also simply find it easier to talk when the spotlight isn’t on us and we can play with some “Art Material” as we talk. We may also simply find it easier to talk when the spotlight isn’t on us and we can play with some clay as we talk. It can be helpful when it is hard to find the words to say how we are feeling or what we experienced.

Listed below are some of the key differences between art as therapy and art therapy.

Art as therapy:

  • You can do it alone or with others.
  • Can be combined with mindful practice for added benefit.
  • Any frequency – daily, weekly, etc.
  • Any medium – journaling All About Writing!, clay work, etc.
  • Art, expression and creativity are in lots of things we may enjoy that help our well-being – cooking, baking, walking, playing, dancing Hobbies ~ Do What You Really Like To Do!
  • It’s a form of self-care.

Art therapy:

  • A form of therapy also known as art psychotherapy.
  • A mental health treatment.
  • Always facilitated by a Art Psychotherapist
  • Usually sessions are one hour per week.
  • Can be one to one or in group sessions.
  • Nonthreatening form of communication.

Relaxing ~ For Kids!

Dear Readers and Blogging Friends ❤

I thought of doing a post for the Young ones as “They are also facing a lot of Changes and Challenges”. As they are also facing different conditions, some having to do school work from The I net and being home. Parents working in different ways or doing work from home ❤


You can see The Reasons for Reading and for The Children: They can find so many Different Ways of knowing places, people and information.

Even Reading alone. Or One of the best and most powerful ways to reflect is through writing, and in that – ‘Journaling’ as it is more structured. As you put your thoughts on paper on a regular basis, you slowly being to de-clutter your mind and bring things into perspective leading to self awareness, clarify, and inner peace.

Playing Music Alone or with Group or with Friends. The right music has the power to take away all your worries. Create a playlist of your favorite relaxing tracks and listen to it whenever you like. A drum circle is where a bunch of people sit around and play drums. You can gather your like minded friends and make a your own drum circle or join a drum circle happening in and around you. The rhythmic vibrations created by these drums playing in unison can be very therapeutic or Relaxing ❤

There are lots of things to do in a park. Go to a nearby park and watch other children play. They might even ask you to join. Can you see “A Park with Lots children Playing” One girl Flying A Kite. Near that, “A Boy pushing a Girl on a swing. Left “A Girl sliding down a Mat Slide”. Down “Two Girls Playing with Sand” Right Side Below “A Girl and A Boy going Up and Down on A See Saw” Now Can you see how many Things Others are doing and if You can Count and see what you Know and “How Many Children are there in the Park? ❤

See there are lots of things to do in a park. Go to a nearby park and watch other children play. They might even ask you to join. It can be, Different seasons. Tune into their carefree energy.

Do what ever possible. Sit on a swing and start swinging. Feel the air on your skin and enjoy the soothing to and for movements. It need not be a park itself. Any strong tree anywhere safe is all you need. The rocking movements that a swing creates will relax you. Hanging swing seats (hammock or chairs).

Rocking chairs are also a good option as they provide similar soothing movements. Its A Very Big Rocking Chair. Lot of you can sit on it Rock together 😛 You can listen to the birds chirping too at home or outside. Tune into their free energy.

Above see “Tie a hammock in between the trees and “Take A Nap”. Below Different seasons. Different things to do 🙂

Girl and boy and the four seasons. This is Winter where You can Make snowmen but only where you live You have Winter and becomes very cold you get Snow. Making snow men out of snow.

Walk around where you live. Stop and smell the flowers. Don’t just make small observations, but be fully present and look deeply, get into the minor details.

If you have a little space, or even planting in some containers, as “Indoor plants” “Gardening is the best way to connect with mother earth’. Planting, raking leaves or even just pulling out weeds can have a calming influence on the mind.

boy and the four seasons

Work in your garden barefooted to get the benefits of grounding or earthing. Or even walk around where you live. Let the soles of your feet get directly in touch with mother earth by walking or standing barefoot.


boy and the four seasons


This practice known as ‘grounding’ is said to have various health benefits. Studies suggest that it helps reduce stress. Think of (Consider) walking barefoot on the beach or in a garden. Walk on dry leaves. The crackling or rustling sounds. This can be a deeply relaxing activity during the fall season.

Don’t just make small observations, but be fully present and look deeply, get into the minor details.

Making A snowman out of snow. You have to wear very warm clothes as it is very cold when snow falls 🙂

Different seasons so doing different activities!

Go for a swim if possible and with Family or with an adult. Swimming, especially in natural lakes can be extremely relaxing. But even if you don’t have a lake nearby and your only option is chlorine treated water, it can still give you all the benefits. You can still Play around in the water, float in it, feel the water and listen to the water as you swim. Parents engaged in kids learning. Mother and father teaching children walking, swimming, riding bicycle, reading. So there are other activities to do, when your parents or other family members are free. Or it can be A Coach or even a Teacher!

Near the sea and on the Beach it is all free. You can Play around in the water, float in it, feel the water and listen to the water as you swim. You can also use a flotation product like an air mat or pool tube and enjoy a relaxing float in the water 🙂

Group of kids having fun on the beach

A beach is free for all, and listen to the waves, walk along the shores, feel the breeze, build sand castles and collect sea shells. Walking on a beach has many known benefits in addition to helping you release stress.

Sing or dance. Put on your favorite music and move your body to the rhythm. You can get together with Friends and make it fun. Don’t focus on how you are dancing. Instead, let go, lose yourself to the rhythm and let the rhythm guide you. Moving your body this way helps deeply relax your mind and body. Or learn to play a musical instrument like guitar, ukulele or a piano. Playing music is fun and can be an excellent stress reliever. You can easily learn the basics using the countless tutorials available on the internet.

Getting on with your Daily Routine. To feel clean and Fresh. A hot or cold shower, can be extremely relaxing to your mind and body.

Spend time with a pet. If you don’t have one, you can play or take a friend’s pet for a walk. Petting a dog or cat or rabbit or any other furry animal can feel highly relaxing ❤

Treehouses are Free playing if there are Trees near by. Need not be high up even beneath the trees, and even have a few biscuits and some drink Hot or Cold how the weather is like a picnic.

Paint your imagination: It does not matter if you are good at painting or not. Just take out a watercolor paper (or simply use any blank paper), a paintbrush, some watercolors and paint what comes to your mind. Express yourself. You can even use sketch pens, color pencils or crayons


Adult coloring books are a good option too. You can draw a simple Mandala. As it is popular these days. No need of books itself You can see on the I net or just imagine one on your own. A little info about mandalas. Mandala is a Sanskrit word loosely meaning circle. They have been created by people from different religions for centuries. They are intricate, repeating geometric shapes that make up a circle. Basically mandalas symbolize our universe, and the idea that everything in our universe is connected. If you are making these with kids, these will give them a taste of design, proportion, symmetry, and working with abstraction. Plus, they are meditattive (Mindful). And beautiful.
Directions: Trace a big circle on a piece of paper. We used an old plate (at least they’re getting used for something 😛 Cut out the circle carefully – hold 2 pieces of paper together to double time your cutting process, since you will want to be making more than one of these things. Kids can easily make their own easy mandalas with this folding trick, and use personal symbols or random abstract shapes to make this art project.



Watch your favorite childhood cartoons. Do not have to be TV. Even on your old Comic books. You can even Draw. You never know Your Talents ❤ Go for a mindful walk early in the morning when the air is fresh. Be mindful of each step you take, the sights, sounds and smells. Lose yourself to the experience. Lay down or sit on a warm grassy spot and watch the clouds go by. While you are at it, see if these clouds might carry a message for you. This is with, “A Rainbow” A Rainbow comes after it Rains and The sun comes out 🙂

Here are lots of “Different Things to do. For each person how you like and able to do outside or inside. Alone or with others 🙂
