Do you recall your days as a child, when you would lie on the floor and have a whole set of crayons and coloring book right in front of you? Those were the happy days. Children usually spend hours imagining and being in their own world as they color the pages of their coloring books. You may be older now, but don't you think it can still be a good idea to bring back the good old days?
What most people don't realize is that, using christmas coloring sheets is also a form of meditation. Yes, as you dolor every detail in the illustrations you are focused and completely concentrated. It's like there is nothing else in the mind but the lines and colors in front of you. The simple act of picking a crayon can instantly get you in that moment - just as when you were young. The gentle strokes of the crayons as they are used upward and downward, creates a pattern and the rhythm. This actually relaxes the mind and removes all the thoughts that may have been running regularly. Even just for that time, one can forget about the paperwork at the office, the chores at home, the bills to pay, the children and so on. Just for that time, it's all about the strokes of the greens, yellows, blues and reds. The quietness of the moment is indeed an excellent form of meditation.
As a child, you may have always been instructed to color inside the line. So you were very careful not to color outside of the line. As an adult today, there are no rules in coloring. You may color as you wish and as you please. Who says a tree has to be green all the time? Who says an apple is red? Who says yellow and violet don't look good together? At this time, coloring is free and fun. You can express yourself and your ideas without having to worry about what the right thing to do. So when you are angry, you can paint the whole page red! Afterwards you are guaranteed to actually feel better and lighter - it can really take away the stress in you.
For this reason, there are so many online shops that offer colouring book and materials. Not just the ones for kids but also for the older kids - adults. They come at very affordable prices and so one can purchase as many as he/she wants. And when they feel the stress building up, all that's really needed to be done is to grab a box of crayon, open the book and start painting the stress away!
