Mindfulness has its roots in Buddhist meditation from 2,500 years ago. Carl Jung was one of the first Westerners to use mandalas as a therapeutic tool in the 1920s. Coloring intricate patterns activates the same brain regions as meditation, reducing activity in the amygdala — the part of the brain responsible for the stress response. This mandala coloring page has flowing organic shapes you can print and color to slow down, focus, and relax.
