Personal Energy Drawings

Automatic drawing is an ability we all have. If we allow ourselves to just draw and forget all worries about what our creation should or should not look like, whether it's "beautiful", whether it "is something". 

I just pick a color marker, the one that comes into my hand, and start drawing a line. The line curves, stretches, bends. Another one, in a different color, comes after it. After a while, shapes start to form. Different each time, it's an adventure. At some moment, the picture contains a sort of structure, though it "isn't anything". Then I like to start filling in the free spaces with many colors. More structure emerges. Complicated designs emerge. Sometimes, even recognizable elements appear. 
What for? 
If you define an intention before starting, the picture will tell you something. It may be a question whether take a trip overseas. You'll get a feeling about it while drawing and then looking at the picture.
You can be much more specific. You can sketch an outline of your body or your apartment and then automatically insert color information about energies into it. You'll be surprised.

I like to do automatic pictures for other people, of them. No need to know them, only some identification is necessary, something that allows me to focus on the unique entity for a second. A name, an Internet nickname...even the vague memory of "that policewoman at the crossing". 

When the people receive the picture, they can usually "read" it in a way I have no idea about. They tell me what it is and what it means. Or they sometimes find symbols relevant to their life but unknown to me.

Just another little lovely trick of the Universe :) 
If you like them, you can have one from me.
But you can do your own, in your own way :)
