Zentangle® is very meditative art form. Zentangle® is not mindless doodling or scribbling where something else is the primary thought on your mind, Zentangle® instils mindfulness. The patterns require repetitive strokes which are drawn in a deliberate way, with full attention and awareness, but with an open mind. A true mediation. As they call it Zen...Tangle...

Since mistakes don’t matter, the stress of perfection isn’t there, no judgements, no right or wrong, just pure art...helps deal with low self esteem or negative self-image

Zentangle® as a metaphor for life –the underlying principles of Zentangle® are applicable to real life situations and its benefits translate to all aspects of life. Eg, no mistakes, one stroke at a time, deconstruct, don’t worry about outcome, come out of your shell and many more.
