Episode 23: The Calm of Zentangle

Listen Later

Karen and Mary sit down with Mary Rose Feldman, a certified Zentangle teacher and Mary's sister-in-law to talk about Zentangle - a mindfulness practice that uses the pen stroke as focus.

Here are the takeaways:

  • Zentangle is a mindfulness practice that uses the pen stroke as focus.
    • Repetition helps our mind to reconnect to how we’re feeling body, mind and spirit.
      • The difference between Zentagling and doodling? When we doodle, our pen is doing one thing while our mind is doing something else. In Zentangle, we feel the pen in our hand and our senses are engaged doing one activity in the moment.
        • Daily affirmations help us to communicate kindly with ourselves, build our confidence and change our approach to every day.
          • A fun byproduct to Zentangle is that you can use it to create beautiful art.
