Lower Blood Pressure with the Zentangle Method

Many of my students share with me how Zentangle has changed their lives.   I have an example that happened last week.

Recently, my doctor ask me to chart my blood pressure for a week.  Upon arriving home from driving 1/2 hour in San Diego traffic from babysitting at my daughters house, I took my blood pressure.  Wow, it was 159/107.  The traffic wasn't even bad.  

My husband said to wait a half hour and re-take.  During that half hour, I started "tangling" on a class I was going to teach.  After a half hour, I took my blood pressure again - 130/75. Thank you Zentangle.

Zentangle is de-stressing among other helpful benefits like:
Anxiety
depression
insomnia
pain management
bereavement
fear of flying
PTSD
ADHA
essential tremors/Parkinson's (helps eye hand coordination)
Cancer therapy
addiction therapy
anger management
negative self images
confidence
self-esteem

Current research is being conducted to see if the Zentangle Method has effects on bipolar and schizophrenia patients.

Remember to tangle when you need a little break from stressful moments. It works.

ZOOM Zentangle Class - Holiday Greeting Card

 

I taught my first Zoom class today.  It was so much fun.  I really liked the intimate setting with Susan and Barbara.  Barbara was new to the Zentangle Method.  Always fun to share this special gem with someone new.

We practiced Auraknot tangle (by Zentangle) for the top of the tree and added Showgirl tangle (by Vicki Bassett) for the inside of the tree.  Using black/red/silver pen, we created a great card to send out for the Holiday.

I think the girls did great. 

Next class on 12/16/2020 - Angel Ornament
