The Art of Mindful Origami extends the concept of mindful, art-therapy colouring, using 15 origami projects ranging in difficulty from basic to complex, as tools to develop mindfulness.

In recent years, interest in mindfulness has exploded, becoming a part of popular culture. Increasingly, creative pursuits such as colouring are being used as a way for people to focus and enter a mindful state.

Each project in the book starts with a brief description and background to the model. Subsequent pages provide instructions for folding the particular model. For difficult exercises, the book details ways of staying focused and calm, using mindfulness to overcome frustration or distraction, an essential aspect of mindfulness that leads to a range of benefits for wellbeing and performance.

Once each model is folded, the book outlines various related exercises to further develop mindfulness. For instance, after folding the paper boat, readers are encouraged to lie down, placing the boat on their belly to watch it rock up and down on the β€œwaves” as they breathe. This activity helps them develop mindful breathing, a powerful tool for relaxation and focus.

The book includes high-quality patterned origami paper and colouring sheets, which can easily be torn from the book, making it the ultimate gift for anyone seeking a calmer, more stress-free life.
