New Zentangle Applications
Wonderful New Possibilities
We came across an article written by a doctor in
Bogata, Columbia describing how he used pattern
drawing to help his 10 year old son relieve his facial
tics.
Here's the relevant excerpt as translated from his
Spanish language
website (which is not always up):
"That night, after seeing the attractor vortex in the
water,
I was worried when I saw too many tics in the face
of my son.
I suggested he make scrabbles and lines on a paper.
I said to him: "try to feel the energy that is
inducing you to make
grimaces with your facial muscles."
He drew spirals at the same rhythm that he was
moving
his lips, his eyebrows, and his nose.
He passed those energetic forces from his face to his
hand by drawing,
until he became conscious of the field that was
disturbing him.
My conclusion is that his tics were like an attractor,
a spiral,
a pulsating vortex for his muscles;
they were like a probability wave that made him
execute
a Fixed Action Patterns-- FAP;
those tics disappeared when his hands and his
gymnastics absorbed
the energetic "spiral"
that before were expressed as tics (unconscious
Gymnastics).
To draw lines and scrabbles on the paper was
another
pulsating spiral that absorbed the force of his
hand."
What a wonderful new area of application this opens
up for
Zentangle. We are looking for qualified folks to do
some clinical studies on how Zentangle's method can
assist in this field. So, if you know anyone,
send us an email.
