Anti-stress art therapy

Did you sit for hours as a child colouring in? When I asked this question in the Starts at 60 office, one of our staff was full of enthusiasm and said how much she loved this book. With a little encouragement, she provided the main image on this page. What great work Emma, thank you!

It is claimed that working with your hands is one of the best ways to soothe anxiety and eliminate stress. The Mindfulness Colouring Book, by Emma Farrarons (a French illustrator and graphic designer based in London) is a stunning, pocket-sized colouring book offering a practical exercise in mindfulness that draws on your creativity and hones your focus.

Beautifully illustrated, The Mindfulness Colouring Book is filled with templates for exquisite scenes and intricate, sophisticated patterns, prompting you to meditate on your artwork as you mindfully and creatively fill these pages with colour. Take a few minutes out of your day, wherever you are, and colour your way to peace and calm. Anti-stress art therapy for busy people.

The Mindfulness Colouring Book, by Emma Farrarons is available for purchase from Dymocks
