There are different activities that can foster a state of calm and inner peace. There are those who prefer sports, some who enjoy reading, and others who love do-it-yourself (DIY) projects and handicrafts.

Among these DIY activities is the coloring of mandalas which are circular geometric compositions (symbolizing the universe), that help to achieve calmness by being totally engaged in choosing the colors and creating the pattern designs.

Some people find it particularly satisfying to draw mandalas on stones and although this may require a lot of patience, in the end, it produces an excellent result.
