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.
