ACTIVITIES AND CLASSES Coloring For Relaxation ART Coloring books for adults have become the latest trend, and unlike some fads, this one is actually really good for you. According to clinical psychologist Ben Michael’s, coloring is a stress-free activity that relaxes the amygdala - the fear center of the brain - and allows your mind to get the rest it needs. When coloring, we activate different areas of our two cerebral hemispheres, says psychologist Gloria Martinez Avala. “The action involves both logic, by which we color forms, and creativity, when mixing and matching colors. This incorporates the areas of the cerebral cortex involved in vision and fine motor skills (coordination necessary to make small, precise movements). The relaxation that it provides lowers the activity of the amygdala, a basic part of our brain involved in controlling emotion that is affected by stress.
