"Beyond Art Therapy" Coloring Meditation Technique

Try using a little beyond art therapy in your meditation practice each day for five minutes. After you see how powerful this art color therapy meditation technique is for your mental health and wellness, you will want to share this with  your clients, or students.

This is the easiest meditation  I have ever used and have been able to see a difference in my own mental health. I am calmer and can focus more. 

I use this Beyond Art Therapy meditation / visual imagery activity with clients and students. This modified Beyond Art Therapy color therapy meditation stems from the Metta meditation. 

I take five to ten minutes each morning after I drink my first cup of coffee. I focus on the words and the colors I use to fill in  the circles of this beyond art color therapy technique.

Directions for Beyond Art Therapy Coloring Meditation Technique:

1. Ask the client / student to color in the first round of circles and think of their own self. While they are coloring each individual circle have them focus on each statement by saying it aloud, or to themselves.

2. Now, using the second page of the Beyond Art Therapy meditation paper ask the client / student to think of someone they care about. Repeat the same process coloring in each circle as they concentrate on that person and say the statements.

3. Now, using yet another piece of the Beyond Art Therapy meditation paper ask the client / student to think of someone who they are upset with.  Repeat the same process coloring each circle as they concentrate on that person and say the statements.
