The repeating patterns and symmetrical forms of a pre-drawn mandala supposedly enhance meditation or mindfulness while coloring (Curry & Kasser, 2005). Mindfulness has been found to be positively associated with psychological well-being and negatively associated with anxiety and depression (Brown & Ryan, 2003). Some studies on mandala coloring assume that mindfulness is the mechanism behind the effect of mandala coloring on anxiety reduction (e.g., Curry & Kasser, 2005), but there is limited empirical evidence of the effect of mandala coloring on mindfulness (Campenni & Hartman, 2020).
