    Chakras? Well, some of them look that way, I guess. I had flowers in mind :)

    I start from middle of paper, then draw round shapes, and repeat the opposite side (hence the symmetry)

    From "The Washington Post"

    ------------------------
    Many of us have heard about the benefits of meditation, but sometimes find it hard to do. Fewer of us know about the profound benefits of artistic expression. Creating art, however, is another way to access a meditative state of mind and the profound healing it brings.

    @GoogleGlass heard of Mandala drawings which are supposed to bring inner harmony. Heard that creative art is also used as a tool for meditation. Infact I attended a class which is somewhat similar drew for few days, but could not stick to it.

    @GoogleGlass I am not at all good at drawing. But in the class we were asked to use the hand which we do not use for writing regularly and without lifting the pen/pencil from the paper we were asked to allow the hand to move just as the mind suggests. It was kind of going with the flow of mind, just focusing on the movement of the hand and write down the random words that come to mind at that time. Later on we were asked to embellish it with colours. There seems to be lot of psychology involved in the entire process.

    I was curious to know the art form which @ChennaiExpress is using -

    As you said it is interesting to know about these things.
