For those who, like me until very recently have no idea what art therapy is or indeed involves, its relaxing and losing yourself in a project where the only stresses you have to worry about is what colour to pick next, or which pattern will you have a go at.
It is a wonderful way to shut down an anxious mind and to help take some of the focus off of pain, spasms and the wonderful fizzy tingles and channel that into a much calmer and more positive avenue.
Amazon offers a wide range of colouring books for adults.
This is a simply gorgeous book to use and was my first experience with art therapy and colouring for adults.
These are the pencils I have used on all my projects.

| My colourful budgie |

| Spirograph style flowers |
These are just two of the pages Ive done so far. With a mix of the pencils above and finetip pens.
I get lost in them and can find a couple of hours have slipped me by and Ive not been thinking about pain, stress, anxiety, frustration. You name it, im not thinking of it whilst doing this.
I warn you it IS addictive though :)
Happy colouring X
