RELAXING ART THERAPY BOOKS

Coloring is a beneficial activity for our psychic system, similar to meditation and conscious breathing practices.

It's an incredibly relaxing activity, relaxation can also be scientifically demonstrated thanks to the detection of reduced levels of activity of the amygdala, a fundamental part of

our brain intended for the control of emotions, susceptible to and influenced by stress. Coloring allows us to concentrate completely on a single activity, making us forget about our worries and stress.

The relaxing and calming effect of drawing has been scientifically tested on anxious patients, some researchers have had patients who were about to be triggered into a panic attack use the technique of drawing with colors to reduce blood pressure and the general state of anxiety.

Moreover, it has been scientifically proven that the use of drawing and colored markers helps more introverted people to communicate emotions and, for the more angry ones, to moderate communication so that it is not perceived as aggressive by others.

The psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung was one of the greatest promoters of this activity, advising patients to use

colors to create mandalas and drawings. He himself loved to represent the experiences he had during his meditative practices with drawings. There is also a specific branch of psychology that uses the interpretation of colors as a map to understand emotions and moods, not only in children but also in adults. Children's drawings can then be read and interpreted in many ways: choice of colors, use of space, shapes, measurements, proportions, approaches, spacing, ... Drawing and coloring is also an activity that in teaching children helps both to calm them down but also to make them collaborate and work together, calming tensions and anger.

The new coloring books for adults,

with mandalas, abstract figures, animal images, are a comparable activity in all respects to Mindfulness, with the same positive effects in reducing tension, stress, and improvement of the ability to focus and be attentive.

Expressing ourselves through the choice of colors projects us into a world representative of emotions and gives us the opportunity to experience them in a calm and controlled way, processing any emotions that stagnate inside us waiting for resolution and anticipating any needs for future processing. This book is a valid tool to insert

"punctuation" in of our days - it can be printed entirely, or by choosing an image each time, it can be used to recharge your internal batteries in a simple and pleasant way.

This coloring book will give you the opportunity to express deep emotions that we are not always aware of.

Let's use it to find some calm and concentration and to recharge our internal batteries.
