I have used neurgraphics for several months, both as a therapy and as art. My therapy pieces that deal with a specific problem, usually end up as art anyway, but sometimes I create artworks for fun, using some of the algorithms and ignoring others. Reading the comments showed that many of the viewers were confused as to which were prescribed algorithms to be used in the THERAPY and what is used when using the method to make an art work. Rewatching the video I see why they were confused; your explanation of the neurographic line was later followed by using straight angular lines when you were showing colouring techniques. There are other anomalies in your video but this comment too long already! My advice to viewers is take what you want or need from neurographic videos and use it in a way that best serves your needs. My journey has been one of learning, experimenting, teaching and a heap of fun.
Neurographica is a psychological method whether iit used for therapy or coaching. I am a certified Neurographica instructor and that gives me right to guide and teach. Helping people to use Neurographica in the correct way is my altimate goal. When it comes to Neuroart there is a freedome to do whatever they want, but not with Neurographica. You said you have been using Neurographica- are you a certified teacher? If you are not than my advice is to get certified before giving advices to the certified instructor.
Lynette, I agree about the angular coloring lines. Certified or not, they go against the "rule" of rounding and create a disturbing visual in the entirety of the rounded piece. Creating "Conflict" that the artist is trying to resolve with this type of "therapy" I have watched many "teachers" on the subject. At my age, I question everyone and everything! Continuing on. 💐😎
@@AmarnaNeuroart I am new to this art as therapy. I read this reply and thought immediately how it could have been worded in a more gentle way. You might be good at art but expressing yourself in words is an art too. I understand English isn’t your mother tongue and why I feel a need to point this out.
@@AmarnaNeuroart I agree with you here. The psychological part of the technique of neurographic art is the difference. You are teaching the psychological neurographic technique spot on. Otherwise, others may do what is a freeform kinda technique of mosaics style that can be fun. Anyway, I'm sorry that some comments were a bit harsh here to you. That's sad. But there is alot to being certified in neurographic. Neuroscience and patterns play a part. Neurons traveling along the dendrites, axions , connections ect. Anyway, I really enjoyed your teaching and I very much like the results of your art pictures you created 😊
I do agree with certified art teacher. If you need to calm and relax then go doodle anything you want,, this is a “scientific approach”.. and it works! I think people are so arrogant and disrespectful in this country, and we have been taught we know it all. If you want true benefit from a proven method you must follow the rules for a reason… if you just want to relax and doodle go for it, no one says not too, but you are not taking the full benefits of neurographia
As soon as one adds rules to an art form designed to eliminate stress, you are actually adding to one’s stress level until they master the art form and it’s rules.
That is not necessarily so. Think of Mandalas, for example, which have very strict rules. In meditations like that it is exactly following those complex rules that gives the focus to empty the mind from stress and distractions etc. Now there are other forms, for example colouring in, where there are fewer rules that can be happily broken. This is new to me, so I am not sure, yet, what the original instructions were in 2014, but I would think the original developer of the technique has the final say. What does he say about rules in his publications (in translation, if course)
I can see that your rules work, but it would have been interesting to know the why. What is the changed effect, and how important is each rule? Also, as a mosaicist, I just have to say that your understanding of mosaics is wrong. Mosaics apart from a few techniques, follow the flow. Always, as in the lines here.and colours can be stretched across larger areas while the spaces in between the lines give us sections, just as here. You can work with gradations, and you can let coloured materials from one area 'bleed' into the next, so that our eyes can perceive them as mixed colour. Check out modern Italian mosaics.
Totally. I feel like the art is not my own. I think it would be fine to make suggestions and explain why and then allow free reign to let the subconscious flow .
When telling people they’re doing something incorrectly it’d be helpful and less likely to upset people if you could explain why. Using words like “wrong” and “bad” are judgments that have a triggering effect which is risky when instructing art of this nature which people are drawn to as part of their healing process. Perhaps Try: instead of doing this I encourage you to do this instead and this is why. Coming from a teaching background. Thank you for taking the time to try to help others.
Some people need rules to function, however often when trying to sort out life issues through art therapy it’s preferable to limit the rules and just encourage participation. ❤️
True, but Neurographica is different! It is not 100% art therapy, although it has components of therapy. The rules have been created by the author of the method and when you implement them you see what difference they make! My students report on a daily basis how following the correct algorithms changing their results to the better outcome
@@AmarnaNeuroartit is kind of medecin, isn't it. So, your instructions are like a prescription, it is how I see that. Thank you..I tried it without instructions alone (I saw dr.Piskarov doing it) and now I recognized the first one..then all other mistakes. It is much more clear now, I am going to draw with your advices.
Saying that it's correct or incorrect really rubs me the wrong way.Isn't it supposed to be relaxing and fun? If there are too many restrictions involved in anything, people lose interest.Most of the work I've seen is uninteresting, even ugly.Everyone is unique, and their art will also be unique.Color sensitivity is a whole different subject.
Neurographica is different from Neuroart. When you draw in Neuroart style you can do whatever you wish. But.. classic Neurographica requires a certain way of drawing. It is a psychological work married with neuroscience and NLP, thus it requires to follow the rules
Individuals have the choice to follow one discipline or something they make up. Not every method is for everyone. I have found this works for me. May you find what works for you.
All people who want to use this art form, in the therapeutic way they’ve been doing it, are interested in being guided by someone using neurolinguistic programming to do so. At no time, until coming to this channel have I heard word one about NLP.
I totally agree, it really rubbed me the wrong way as well. The author suggests looking at her earlier videos where she explains it in detail but I’m so put off by this video that I won’t . There are so many others out there that are much more positive.
@@womensarmycorpsveteran2904 This “teacher” said this is married Neurolinguistic Programming. I’m like, that’s really super! I don’t make art in a programmed fashion, nor am I interested in NLP! She said, “you need to understand the algorithms, or it’s not going to benefit you.” I was just flummoxed! I’m not a computer. 😂 All kidding aside, I have heard from some people that they understand it, and that it helps them, so I can’t really knock it. Not a lot about this is made clear. Here on RU-vid, many, many people believe they’re doing NeuroGraphic Art. What many are doing is considered “NeuroArt.” It’s based on NG art, but isn’t considered NG Art, since you don’t follow the rules. I’ve seriously seen a lot of people do something that’s like a hybrid of NG Art and Zentangle. It’s pretty cool. I think there is something about rounding out the sharp intersections that I find relaxing, for sure. But, isn’t all art beneficial to the one doing it, in some way? I don’t know. I’ve had fun with it. I’m in the no rules at all area with it, however. I sort of think everyone should do their own thing, but I do understand that this technical process is helpful. I just don’t like to be told, “you’re doing it all wrong, here’s where you’re making mistakes thing.” As soon as I hear that, I’m pretty sure we aren’t talking about art anymore! 😂 But, that’s just me. Have a great evening, or whatever it is where you are!
I don't think that making a stipulation of right and wrong is condusive to one's ability to let go and have the lines and colors guide and choose us-rather than we them.. If we give ourselves the freedom of knowing that there are no mistakes, the creative processes and revelations that result can really be profound. Children draw like this...they are the most honest artists. They let the colors dictate which ones to use, there are no mistakes to correct, they really don't care who likes or dislikes their work and they know when they are done (something that I struggle with and overwork things) I only got 30 seconds into this video and my inner child wanted to move to another classroom with the nice teacher who doesn't always make me wrong..
Omg! WHY??is there some psychological benefit to following these rules?? The best thing about this as an art form is also the opportunity to create art that is personal, no rules! I wish the person making this video could explain why it’s right or wrong! What am I missing?
I recently became interested in the neurographic art style. #1 was helpful to me. I Want to relax with the process. Taking my time, going slowing, thinking about what i see in nature were all positive directions.. #2 the key word i heard was mindful.. #3 will take more thought😄. Integrating sections together or cohesion in color does look much better. Thanks for pointing all this out. I'll have to refer back to this video no doubt😄 Have a delightful evening🙋🌺
Certainly! We just need to be mindful of diferences between Neuroart and Neurographica. Neurographica is a psycological method of self-transformation, it requires us to follow certain rules designed by teh author of the method for our own sake - to get the best possible results! It is journey for sure!
Why is there someone always telling you "how"? This is art to have you "let go"! There is no "correct" in art! Only YOUR expression of it, lady! Besides when you start anything there are example of learning in each effort, like practice. Just let go & have fun getting lost in creating!
But she's teaching a specific way in which she was taught and has certification for. There is Neurographica and neurographic art. Both are similar but different. If you don't like her way, go find another channel
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise there were rules. If you want this to be meditative, you allow people to do whatever they want, in whatever way they want. Whatever makes them feel good.
Leonne, in Neuroart you don't have rules, just use neurolines and rounding. Neurohraphica is married to psychology, NLP, and neuroscience, and rules are required there for achieving good results in whatever you are working on! I hope this is clear
@@cynthiahillian well, the ones who would like to deep dive into the method can differentiate the pleasurable art from transformative psychological practice using simple art algorithms that lead to self-transformation - there is a difference!
Agree completely, Leonna. I'm just introduced to the concept of neurographic anything. The concept is facinating. The potentials amazing. "You 'should' never..." This video's premises seems much in conflict with the basic tennets of neuro-graphic expression and the gains available thereby. And yes, tho I won't receive a notification of, I expect the presenter to dissent in her comment response to this. All who pause here and who are looking for self understanding and growth, be well. You are strong.
@@AmarnaNeuroart For sure!! And I am enjoying the discovery... And would like a deeper dive on the science behind it without paying for a class Thanks for your shares!!
Please correct me if I’m mistaken but I thought Neurographic Art, NeuroArt for short did not follow the rules that are the foundation of the Neurographica teachings? NeuroArt is more informal, art base not art therapy. There is widespread confusion about these modalities If I’m understanding this, there are no mistakes in NeuroArt or Neurographic.
Yes, you are right. NeuroArt is only for artistic expression, it is not intended for art therapy as Neurographica does. But, like with any art expressions, it can be therapeutical as any art modality. But for the deep therapy and coaching only Neurographica can be used for that
I think the audience would better understand the rules of “don’t do this, you must do this” if you explain the why? Doesn’t the correct algorithm that you teach, help with the energy flow thru neurons to axioms to help solve discord?
I was uder the impression this was a completely personal journey, and it did not really matter what the lines looked like or where they started and finished. After all it is a therapeutic journey not one with rules!
There are NO mistakes in art. You do you, and let the rest of us be free in whatever form our neurographic art takes. You should take this video down, and think about how your right/wrong approach is negative and damaging to people who are trying to have less stress in their lives, not more.
I think that everything that you presented in this video is absolutely CORRECT 100%. I am very new to neurographics and I had no clue on what its all about. Your suggestions really give a clear guideline when and how to correctly apply this technique. I am a person who has a tendency for anxieties and this art for therapy or otherwise makes doing neurographics very mindful and cohesive. I am thankful that you made such a video. It made me much more aware of how to create better art in the neurographics techniques. Thank you.
You’re giving all these “rules” and saying it’s wrong or incorrect, really defeats the purpose of this technique. You’re giving rules, but you’re not giving any explanation as to why your rules apply. I’m going to try and forget what I’ve just seen & heard and hopefully continue enjoying the process. I’m not trying to be mean, but it comes across very judgmental and condescending. You didn’t even explain the rounding process, which is to make the intersection of lines look like neutrons. Edit: neurons.
I'm new to this but I recognized early there is a difference between neorographic art and neorographic therapy. For me neorographic art made me feel anxious, trying to figure how to make all those loops. For the therapy graphics I felt looser. I didn't worry about where to put anything, just lines going anywhere, wandering about. I can't explain why, but for me this is the way it is. Also, when I started rounding, the process felt meditative, especially when I realized I didn't have to round every crossover. I just remind myself that nature doesn't make abrupt turns but it does at times bifurcate. Learning the difference takes away the anxiety of trying to round anything that looks like 2 lines crossing. These are just my thoughts, and I appreciate your video because it showed me what I was seeing is the difference between neorographic art and neorographic therapy. Both are valid imo and it helps when I'm doing it for artwork vs therapeutic meditation.
@@AmarnaNeuroart Yes. That's why I had to differentiate therapy vs art. Again the "therapy" was more free flowing, meditative, in the present. Any line or circle was ok no mistakes. When I tried art mode I became tense because I started to feel I had to do everything right. With therapy mode I may sketch an idea but after that anything goes. Very liberating and my therapist agrees. Thx.
Thank you for this clear and informative video explaining the rules. Nice short video explaining the rules behind this science. I find the negative comments unhelpful and some are just unnecessarily rude. I am fascinated by this art form and am very happy to have some explanation on how to do it. Thank you Amarna 😊
I believe I was present at the beginning of this Neurographic concept/technique - As a young child, sitting on my bedroom floor, for hours (sent to my room, being “punished”) with paper pad, pencils and crayons - I lazily drew lines that randomly crossed. Then I selected random colors to fill in the closed areas. It never dawned on me that this related to any scientific concept. I just loved spending quiet time alone and enjoying the experience.
Recently I've learned of this art. I've been watching other videos and all of them didn't explain it the way you did. As much as it's pleasurable it's also somewhat controlled, in that you're using your mind to see things a certain way. I'm not explaining that very well. 😂 I'm so happy this video popped up for me. I shared it on Pinterest and I'm excited to give it a go. When I have more time I look forward to checking out more of your videos. ❤️ thank you so much for all of the great information!
I prefer mine to be free style and without rules. That way, it reflects what I'm feeling in that moment better. Adding rules and saying what others "should" or "shouldn't" do, or what's "correct" or "incorrect" only adds more stress when this art form is meant to relax you. However, I do agree with you with the no rush part. Take a breath and let your wrist or hand draw for you.
It all depends on what you're looking for. I'm a beginner and I wanted to be guided by someone who is a certified graduate teacher of the Pavel Piskarov Psychology of Creativity Institute. There are many people on YT teaching what they call "neurographic art." I found what I was looking for after doing some research.
O neck no. Now you are going to tell me that coloring it any other way than what you say is incorrect? The whole concept behind art as a whole is using your own imagination to create. Who are you? Did you develope, invent, create
I enjoyed this. if you're going to engage in something, do it the way it was intended to do it. seems like people's issues came out while watching the video. it was very helpful. thank you
We have enough rules to follow in this society. In my opinion, there should never be rules and restrictions in any sort of artistic therapy. Art in any form is therapy because it relaxes the mind, the body, and the soul while doing it. I am an artist and I follow Neurographic Therapy and Neuragraphic art--please stop with the rules. In my mind and heart, whatever art you do (whether it's line art, color art, sculpture, etc.) that makes you feel good is what you should follow, and that, there are never any mistakes but you are only following your artistic intuition. However, thanks for this video!♥
Oh my goodness why so many rules??!! This is supposed to be a form of relaxing art therapy - surely it is about participation and reducing anxiety rather than worrying about rules?! Art is about self expression not rules. Who cares if you do it one way or the other? Take what you want from the ‘rules’ and do it your own way!
Wonderful explanation … I like the principles simply because if you want it to be meditative and healing this would seem the best and most beautiful way to do it❤
If you like to someone to completely demotivate you, by all means, listen to her going on and on how your art is all wrong. For heaven’s sake, this video should come with a warning! Big hug to all of you loving the calmness of no-mistakes-neurographic art 🤗
Informative, thank you. I wasn’t aware there was a distinction of Neuroart and Neurographica. I think people are getting confused with two hence the hateful comments. I’m sorry you are having to deal with that. As a stage 4 cancer patient I probably need to follow the guidance of Neurographica so I will look into it more. I much prefer the type of colouring you showed too. If I may offer a tip also, one way to produce a random, non-repetative line is to put a penny in front of the marker and push it to draw. It helps.i
Neuroart is derived from Neurographica as a simiplified form of Neurographica, more artistic, apparently. I have not used a penny in my practice and I don't recommend it
@@AmarnaNeuroart The penny helps with no repetitive lines. I notice your lines are repetitive at the start of the video even though you stated you weren’t doing repetitive, hence why I mentioned the tip. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using a penny because the fact is that it helps whether you recommend it or not.
Neurographica, as a therapeutic art form, combines creativity with structured techniques to tap into the brain's potential for transformation and self-improvement. While it might seem counterintuitive to impose rules on an inherently creative process, there are several compelling reasons to adhere to the established guidelines of Neurographica: 1. Scientific Basis: Neurographica is grounded in psychological and neuroscientific principles. The structured approach is designed to engage specific neural pathways, promoting cognitive and emotional shifts. The rules are there to ensure that the practice aligns with these scientific foundations, maximizing the therapeutic benefits. 2. Consistency and Predictability: Following the established methods of Neurographica helps ensure that the outcomes are consistent and predictable. This consistency is crucial for both practitioners and participants to understand and trust the process, making it easier to measure and replicate results. 3. Structured Creativity: Rules in Neurographica don't stifle creativity; rather, they channel it in a way that enhances the therapeutic experience. The guidelines provide a framework within which creativity can flourish, often leading to more profound insights and breakthroughs than unstructured art might. 4. Focused Intent: The specific steps and rules in Neurographica help practitioners and participants maintain a focused intent throughout the process. This focus is essential for addressing particular psychological issues or achieving specific therapeutic goals. 5. Enhanced Engagement: For many people, the structured approach can enhance engagement with the process. The clear steps and objectives can make it easier for individuals to commit to and stay involved in the practice, which is essential for experiencing its full benefits. To those who feel that rules take away from the therapeutic potential of Neurographica, it's important to recognize that structure and freedom are not mutually exclusive. The guidelines in Neurographica are there to support and enhance the creative process, not to limit it. By understanding and following these rules, participants can potentially unlock deeper levels of personal transformation and healing that might not be accessible through unstructured methods. In essence, the structured approach of Neurographica is akin to the principles behind other forms of therapeutic practice, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness meditation, where specific techniques are used to achieve desired outcomes. Embracing the rules can be seen as a way to harness the full power of this innovative therapeutic art form.
This is absolutely incorrect. I'm practicing Neurographic Art in my Art Therapy and this is the complete opposite of the truth. This art form is free and meditative, not planned and controlled.
This art form? Is this your patent art form? You should never tell anyone how to color anything.I bet you could make a wonderful color by number creator. Heaven Forbid anyone draw, volr
Art is art. No matter what, its theraputic even with rules or guidelunes. Theres the rule iof rounding right ? I apreciate others perspective. and Im open minded to all techniques . I dont mind learning from others perspective, as far as Im concerned, thats called growth
Interesting, all the comments arguing with this video. Watch it, realise it's the method used with this approach to healing, then off you go and do your own art if you're not interested enough. I'm an artist totally in agreement with no rules and doing your own thing and enjoying the making, but in this case it's to do with NeuroGraphic Arts, a different thing altogether. I've just discovered it and happy to know the rules as well as doing my own art.
I can not for the life of make sure all of my lines in the middle match up/round out so they look like a 4 point start instead of a wonky rectangle. Any tips? Sharpies too fat and bleed and regular pens skip.
I understand everything makes sense except for coloring I mean it's supposed to be about not thinking about it so I don't think there would be like a coloring you had to do but who knows maybe I'm wrong.
The coloring plays an important role as we further integrate the components of the drawing into a whole drawing - this is all about step by step integration into the wholistic view
The woman isn't trying to be mean, she's saying don't just hurry up and draw something on the paper be deliberate and purposeful when you are drawing your lines.
There is a pdf when you take Level 1 course - and it is Neurographica - please watch my video at the top of my channel it talks about the method and the teacher
She’s telling you that when you wrote a word, you also did that wrong. I suggest that you find a more relaxing, peaceful place for ANY form of art which you want to be therapeutic.
Because of the neurological aspect of neurographica the rules make perfect sense. As a trauma victim I understand the significance of the rules and how they can help us change our neurological connections not just stay in status quo as with neuro style art. Thank you for your video.
1. Using a Sharpie, 2. Using a dried out Sharpie, … sorry, watching some video's and every single one of them is using a sharpie which kinda makes me .. Generally when creating art you want to keep and/or display it, and I know not everybody has the budget to buy lightfast supplies, but for black or blue line-art?! Lightfast options do not cost more!!
You can use any supplies you wish - there is no restriction. The reason I recommend to start with Sharpie and Papermate because they are cheap. What if you buy a whole bunch of expensive supplies and then decide its not for you? Better start small
Instead of watching this video, watch Piskarev himself drawing and explaining Neurographic art. Armana completely misses the purpose behind this method. It’s actually overwhelming, incorrect, and full of negative energy.
I felt a bit like l was under the tutelage of a stern Russian army general: you do it MY way, or you are out. Maybe her gruff approach is too intimidating for our North American ears. Whatever, there was a negative vibe l found off-putting.
Wow! Folks really don’t like rules, do they? Lol I have taken art classes , and there are definitely rules. That being said, this isn’t just art. It’s actually a form of therapy that needs particular rules to be followed for it to work properly. Of course you can do whatever you want, but it won’t be actual neurographic art if not done properly.
For me is better NOT to say neurographic ART. Neurographic lines, which are mental and psychological healing processes, have nothing to do with art. The correct name is: Neurographic or Neurographic Lines or Neurographic Healing Process...or something similar. This would be correct.
I see that some people who have commented have issues with "rules" regarding "art." When it comes to "art" I agree there shouldn't be rules; HOWEVER, I think most people misunderstand that Neurographic "art" is specifically designed to be used to treat mental health conditions - aka art therapy (which is a licensed profession), therefore this particular style of "art" is a way to aid in the healing process, and so YES there are rules to each step of that process...the same way people may be instructed to do different tasks in talk therapy. In fact, when it comes to the true teachings of neurographic art, you must be certified, as neurographic "art" is trademarked. On the other hand, you can find neurographic art all over the web and on RU-vid because people like the way neurographic art looks, plus it is extremely relaxing...and for those artists (who are not mental health professionals, I might add), there are no rules, so feel free to play, but if you want the healing effects of this art form...and you want to use it the way it was intended to be used, then there are rules... ...But everyone who doesn't like rules shouldn't get caught up on the "rules." Neurographia is laxer than that, and if followed properly it isn't meant to stress people out at all, in fact it does the opposite, hence the reason it is so popular by those who use it for mental therapy as well as for individuals who just want to incorporate neurographia in their everyday art.
I don't need to watch this video to know that this woman is way off the mark when it comes to neurographic design. Obviously she wasn't told there is no right or wrong way to do it except for individuality.
I'm truly sorry, Amarna. The ignorance, disrespect, and lack of decency and kindness is appalling. THIS IS SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY, PEOPLE! This is not just making yourself happy making pretty pictures! Oh, my stars! If you just want to be quiet and make pretty pictures than go make yourself pretty pictures! If you want to learn a proven and scientific based method to release trauma, pain, anxiety, depression, etc... THEN LEARN FROM THE TEACHER! Thank you, Amarna! I do want to learn the more technical aspects of the therapy. I'm interested in all of it. I already have a practice and I'm interested in adding principles of Neurographica. Keep sharing! There are some who comprehend and appreciate the modality. Blessings!
There are NO rules. There is no "correct" way or "incorrect" way. The correct way is their way, not yours. Your attention needs to be on nothing. This is literally the opposite of what neurographic art is. People CAN do whatever they want. WTH? I'm upset with myself for how much this angered me. Worst neurographic art video ever.
Come on people...no need to be so snarky, Amarna is teaching a new method that has certain guidelines. I suggest you take what you can use and leave the rest behind. Or you could go to channels that are sharing Neuroart. Those channels will specify the difference between Neuroart and Neurographica just as Armana is doing. At any rate I hope you all enjoy. Armana my momma passed away on the 5th of May. I have been her sole caretaker for 10 years. Please know you are helping me with your teachings, thank you!🤗
Hi Rosa, I have looked at the channels that share just Neuroart. Most of these channels are created by clueless people - they have 0 education in Neurographica. I am a certified Instructor, 2 years of non-stop education with Pavel (author of Neurographica) and his team. So whatever you watch on those so-called Neuroart channels are complete garbage
In all honesty, Armana appears to me to be the only snarky individual in this entire comment thread. And, I’m sorry to hear about your Mom. I’ve lost both parents, a sister, and a child. It’s rough. Best to you. No one is being snarky. There is a clear misunderstanding going on here, that’s all.
Este video, os comentários negativos e positivos tudo foi ótimo para mim...entrei neste processo intuitivamente e sozinha, agora busco informações....muito obrigada por apresentar seu trabalho. ❤
I only got a third of the way into this video and I felt that I was being chastised like a child. This is supposed to be calming, therapeutic, enjoyable, fun. No one should say you are wrong or breaking "rules" when creating. It made me want to stop doing something that was bringing me joy. No way, thank you.
In the teachings of Pavel Piskarov the founder of Neurographica there is a protocol that has been tested for many years with many people and put in place for very specific reasons and consciousness raising outcomes. You start with a theme and while you are drawing in a specific way you turn your problems into beauty. It would be to your benefit to follow the protocol but if you don't want to follow the Neurographica guidelines nobody has any desire to make you. Neurographica isn't about drawing pretty pictures and at times it may even cause some temporary distress as you move through past unhealed issues and actually change the neurons in your brain to expand your mind and achieve more than you ever have before.
