Color Snack Creative Studio

These soothing circles from Color Snack Creative Studio are the perfect mid-week meditation activity. ⭐️ We recommend turning your 🔊sound on for the full relaxation effect. 🧘‍♀️

🎨 Grab some watercolors and create your own ensō. 🌀

"In Zen, ensō (円相, , "circle") is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. The idea is that you take a deep breath, and as you exhale, you paint your circle. It's typically painted with black ink, but [artist Volta Voloshin-Smith] wanted to add [her] own watercolor look to it.
