This art therapy segment will review a brief history of the ancient mandala and how they can be used as a grounding and centering tool in and out of the art therapy session. Creating mandalas can be a helpful self-development tool to incorporate into daily self-care practices in order to promote healthy emotional self-expression and anxiety reduction with the incorporation of breath work and other mindfulness-based practices. This video outlines how this tool can be used and adapted with a variety of materials to meet each person at their own artistic level. For this segment you will need a pen, paper, markers (or any other supplies found at home), and an open mind as an art therapist guides you through a new and relaxing process.
