Mandala Magic
Adult coloring books filled with mandala designs have recently seen a surge in popularity, but mandala as a tool to improve one's mental state is not a new concept. Karl Jung, also known as the founder of analytical psychology, described mandalas as "the archetype of wholeness," representing one's center. Contemporary experts theorize coloring mandalas can create a meditative-like state, as the complex circular patterns draw one's attention into intense focus.
The Power of Paisley
Intricate, detailed geometric patterns like paisley can also calm mental stress and promote a feeling of peace, shifting awareness and invoking a sense of calm.
Other Designs
Mandala and paisley designs are extremely popular because their intricate elements encourage focus on detail, directing the mind away from stressful thoughts. Other images can also restore tranquility. Consider a cup of tea with a friend in a peaceful garden. The imagined setting may create feelings of friendship, laughter, nature, and serenity.
