Benefits:
Intuition
Helps one listen to their intuition; you will intuitively know when you feel your tile is complete and be able to use this feeling in other aspects of your life. Entertainment
Zentangle art is easy to create and wonderful to share and enjoy. The Zentangle process is mesmerizing. You can create alone or with a group. You can create a game by randomly selecting tangles, or by making collaborative Zentangle creations. Unlike games with predetermined outcomes like crossword puzzles or Sudoku, you discover your own outcomes. Relaxation
We all need to relax from stress now and then. The Zentangle Method offers a quick way to intentionally redirect your focus and enter a relaxed state almost immediately. It does not require any particular physical skill. It does not require a uniform, location or equipment to relax and enjoy. Artistic
Many people who have artistic talent put aside their aspirations due to time and money constraints. The Zentangle approach answers both of these concerns by being accessible and inexpensive. For people who are convinced they can't draw, the Zentangle Method removes that barrier as well. It also removes any intimidation of facing a blank sheet of paper and a novice's work can be put next to a "pro's"work and fit right in. Many artists use the Zentangle Method to develop and discover patterns and designs to apply to their regular medium, such as quilting or jewelry.Creating a Zentangle tile can also provide cross-training idea inspiration even when applied to quite different fields such as writing or mathematics. Within its "elegance of limits" the Zentangle pattern vocabulary draws from a rich well of our human experience. It provides a simple, accessible method to allow personal creativity to flow. Therapy
Whether self-directed or in a clinical setting, Zentangle art provides a non-verbal modality for feedback, journaling, reflection and analysis,personal growth and increased confidence. Some applications include:
*Addiction therapy
*Attention deficit
*Self-esteem
*Anger management
*Stress management
*Stroke recovery
*Symbolic journaling
Education
At all age levels, whether in public, private or home school environments, creating Zentangle art has been associated with improved:
*Handwriting
*Eye/hand coordination
*Creativity and personal expression
*Problem solving
*Cross-cultural understanding, using various cultural symbols such as Indian henna patterns, Celtic knotting, Zuni pottery, Maori tattoos or Islamic tiling.
*Relaxation and focus
*Confidence

Moreover, the Zentangle Method can be enjoyed by many ages simultaneously in a group setting. This can be particularly useful in educational settings where different age groups regularly interact, such as Montessori and home school environments.
