The process of sitting down to spend time colouring is in itself a type of meditation, allowing you to suspend thoughts and focus on the task at hand. Colouring has been shown to alter heart rate and brainwaves in ways that reflect reduced stress and anxiety. Colouring can also facilitate the replacement of negative thoughts with positive ones and this is enhanced by “meditating� on an uplifting word as you colour.
