How is this beautiful art 🎨 community in Spanish? 🤗 I had a long time without stopping by here and I took the opportunity to share with you a gift I got two weeks ago: a mandala coloring book 💜 along with some color markers, which I used to paint the first design.

For those who do not know, mandalas are a form of meditation and represent the universe. They are used in Buddhism and Hinduism, being an excellent tool to release tension, stress and channel our emotions. If you have seen my previous content, you will notice that I have already touched on this topic, I have been using this method for some time to help me with anxiety.

The difference is that the series I uploaded (which I have pending to continue) were made by me from scratch and are more similar to Zentagle Art, which is a drawing technique in which repeating patterns are used to create abstract artistic expressions. Many times, I mixed both, they are quite similar and you know that anything that involves using our hands, helps us to connect with ourselves 🤗.

I am enclosing part of those series for anyone who wants to keep an eye or two on them 👀:

Continuing with the theme, a funny thing happened to me when I finished making this mandala. Over the weekend I experienced a pretty strong peak of anxiety and the only thing that could calm me down was to open this book and start painting. The end result was a rainbow, totally opposite to how I actually feel. I commented to a friend that maybe it was my way of projecting the desires of my unconscious: wanting to be well, in spite of feeling black and white.

Each design should be done calmly, it does not necessarily have to be finished the same day it is started, the process can be shared between several different moments of the week. The idea is that it serves to meditate and you can also add additional drawings, the point is to stimulate creativity and relaxation of the mind. Forget about perfection because that will not work to clear your mind.

Next, I show you the process 🙌:

¿Cómo se encuentra esta bella comunidad de arte 🎨 en español? 🤗 Tenía mucho tiempo sin pasar por aquí y aproveché la ocasión para compartir con ustedes un regalo que me hicieron hace dos semanas: un libro para colorear mandalas 💜 junto a unos marcadores de colores, los cuales estrené para pintar el primer diseño.
