Mindfulness


"Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening around 
and inside of us each moment, without judging or attempting to change anything."

Ian Gawler & Paul Beson (Meditation: An In-Depth Guide)


What I love most about Zentangle is its meditative quality. When I am truly focused on "one stroke at a time," the past and future recede and I am present. My noisy, chattering mind settles down and I can enjoy the moment.


I couldn't ask for more... A creative outlet and a meditative practice all in one!!!

  5. Your zentangle is beautiful. Your line work is perfection, so parallel and equidistant. You obviously
    can "get into the moment" and draw "one line at a time". I want to learn to do that too.
