MANDALA ART
Mandalas are ancient geometric designs known for their meditative qualities. In these colouring sheets, you'll have the opportunity to colour a Mandala mindfully, focusing on each stroke and your breath.

PREPARATION
Find a quiet and comfortable place to work. Gather your colouring materials: coloured pencils, markers, or crayons. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and clear your mind.

EXPLORING THE MANDALA
Observe the intricate Mandala design in front of you. Take a moment to appreciate the symmetry, patterns, and details of the Mandala. As you look at the Mandala, consider what colours you'd like to use. Trust your instincts and choose colours that resonate with you.

COLOURING THE MANDALA
Begin colouring the Mandala from the center outward or in any pattern that feels right to you. As you apply each stroke, focus your attention on the movement of your hand and the texture of the paper. Notice the sensation of the colouring tool on the paper, the colours blending or contrasting, and the Mandala coming to life. Breathe slowly and rhythmically as you colour, matching your breath to your strokes. Inhale as you move your colouring tool in one direction and exhale as you move it in another. If your mind starts to wander or you become distracted, gently bring your focus back to the colouring process.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOUR

The psychology of colour is a fascinating area of study that looks at how different colours can influence human mood, behaviour, and decisions. It’s based on the idea that colors can evoke certain emotions and affect our day-to-day lives in various ways. Here are some key points about colour psychology:

Emotional Impact:

Colours can have a significant impact on our moods and feelings. For example, red is often associated with energy and passion, while blue can create a sense of calm.

Influence on Behaviour:

The colours around us can influence our actions. For instance, green is said to encourage creativity and productivity.

Cultural Significance:

Different cultures may have unique associations with colours. What is considered calming in one culture might be seen as unsettling in another.

Physiological Effects:

Some colours can cause physical reactions; for example, red can increase blood pressure and stimulate appetite.
