Rock Art – Mindfulness Moment

Having a little trouble focusing? Feel a little bit bored and looking for a fun activity? Try this cool art project.

ALL YOU NEED IS: A flat stone A writing utensil like a pencil, markers, or crayons A piece of paper A quiet space to work

DIRECTIONS:

Place the pebble on the blank paper and push it using the writing utensil. Keep pushing never lifting the pen from the paper. Let yourself focus on the movement and the line you are creating as you breathe slowly. Remember to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth like blowing out a candle. Keep pushing and focusing on your breath and line. Don’t worry about what your line is creating, just move the pebble. Stand back and look at the cool piece of art you’ve made!
