Clinical Psychologist Suggest Adult Coloring Can Aid in Relaxing the Brain

(Newswire.net — November 18, 2019) Wilmington, DELAWARE — Adult coloring books have become quite popular over the years. They come not just with higher quality of paper, but also intricate patterns of mandalas and designs.

It is worth mentioning that the use of these coloring books is linked with some brain health benefits. It relieves stress and anxiety and places the brain in a meditative state.

According to Scott M. Bea, Psy D, clinical psychologist, it has everything to do with refocusing attention.

It is worth noting that a simple act of coloring takes attention away from one’s self and directs to the present-moment event. It actually promotes a meditative exercise.

“Adult coloring requires modest attention focused outside of self-awareness. It is a simple activity that takes us outside ourselves. In the same way, cutting the lawn, knitting, or taking a Sunday drive can all be relaxing,” Bea adds.

What makes adult coloring even more beneficial is that it relaxes the brain and frees it from thoughts and appraisals. It allows the difficulties of life to disappear from one’s awareness, and the body and brain find this rewarding.

In 2006, a study has shown that mindfulness art therapy in women with cancer aided in significantly reducing symptoms of physical and emotional distress during their treatment. 

There are art therapists who consider adult coloring to be one of the effective ways to achieve mindfulness.
