HOW TO MASTER THE ART OF LETTING GO

By SUVARNA SHASTRI

These past couple of years have been tough on most of us – physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Though we are now able to connect more easily with family and friends, the toll the pandemic took on our well-being is real and tangible.

And thus many of us are looking for ways to heal, and move forward with positive energy.

Along comes the Buddha Board, a mindfulness tool that helps one get into a healthy and happy headspace! It is a mindfulness activity that helps you tap into a Zen state by redirecting your focus to the art of creating. Inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment, you simply dip your paintbrush in water and create a painting, a doodle, a few inspiring words, whatever takes your fancy. Your creation comes to life in bold design. Visualize your worries, fears, or anxieties being brushed onto the slate and then wave goodbye as the water evaporates along with them.  Leaving you with a clean slate and a clear mind – ready to create a whole new masterpiece.

Make a resolution to put your mental health first in 2023 – master the art of letting go in the New Year with the help of the Buddha Board!

I like that it’s reusable – said to last for years with proper care– and truly mess-free. No ink, paint, or chemicals. And as it’s appropriate for “Ages 5 to 105”, I am enjoying mine with my granddaughter!

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute gift for yourself or a loved one, the Buddha Board is a screen-free way to welcome calm back into your day.  Perfect for relieving stress at home, in the office, or when travelling.
