Zentangle is…a fun, relaxing method of creating images, drawing structured patterns, or tangles. Utilizing gratitude, appreciation, and one stroke at a time, Zentangle art can be used for both engaging the mind and invigorating the imagination, but also can help stress reduction, in education, therapy, and motivation training. The process encourages positive emotions such as self-accomplishment to heal and enlighten in much the same way as mindfulness or meditation.
Under the philosophy that there are no mistakes, and with no need for an eraser, the purpose it to immerse oneself in the repetition and practice of moving the pen on the paper. When you can slow down, focusing in on each stroke, while not worrying about the result, you can achieve a meditative state that is not simply relaxing, but ultimately healing.
