The Way of the Empath

Sensing what is “unseen” in the way of the emotions of others (and even thoughts, nuanced implications) is not uncommon for humans because of our primal instincts. Knowing “what’s up” is part of survival. But we are trained to tune out a lot of what we intuitively perceive, to stay focused on an overriding agenda or task at hand. If you are sensitive and absorb the feelings of others, or wish to develop your “quiet knowing” to consciously use it, this book is for you!

Stream Drawing Workshop at Westport Public Library

During these times of pandemic and great social change, stream drawing is a dynamic and  empowering way to express emotions, align with deeper conscious awareness and spring forth joy and a greater sense of presence.

Developed by Elaine Clayton in her book Making Marks: Discover the Art of Intuitive Drawing, stream drawing is a creative-meditation method that helps participants rekindle the powerful spark of creative genius we were all born with while also connecting us to our intuition and authentic selves. Using the medium of free-style drawing, we create as well as reflect on the drawings in a playful, relaxing – and at times profound – way. All you need is paper, a pencil and the will to make marks with an open heart!

This program is virtual. To register, click here. A Zoom link will be sent to you a few days prior to the event. March 24th @ 7-8:30 pm EST

No artistic experience is necessary!

Ha’Ari Greets the Bride

Ha’Ari Greets the Bride acrylic on canvas 12″x18″
This piece is inspired by my life-long interest in Kabbalah –dreams and strong transformative experiences and impressions I have had for many years. I am deeply inspired by new knowledge of my own ancestors, including “Ha’Ari” or “The Ari”–Isaac Luria who, like me, was very much moved by the mysterious and wondrous, stream-of-consciousness meditations where The Presence can be felt. This painting is part of a series on ancestors and their spiritual influence. Message me through this site if you’d like to know more or acquire a piece from this series.

Stream Drawing Classes at Spirit University

I’m excited to announce that I will be teaching stream drawing at Spirit University, located in Sarasota Florida. Join us for this wonderful time to go inward, freely express and heighten intuitive intelligence. You will connect to your natural creative genius as we explore visual perception and deep intuitive insights. This method is joyous, fun and yet an emotive and empathic process. Sign up here and I look forward to seeing you there!

Elaine Clayton in New York Magazine

I was recently contacted by New York Magazine to give my psychic interpretation of what the election outcome might be, so I did an intuitive stream drawing meditation on that theme. I was surprised to see so many images that looked like feminine divine/empowerment symbols. And astonishingly (this is why I do this work!) there was literally a #46 right smack in the center of the drawing. So many intuitively “wow” things happen just by setting an intention and closing your eyes and drawing with your non-dominant hand…

I don’t know for certain who will win and be elected president, but in a few of the stream drawing meditations I have done, I have seen what I’d consider Trump either leaving or being forced out of office. And I saw the USA embracing the idea of a woman in high office way more than I had ever previously imagined. However, in our tumultuous times, anything could happen in a snap. I can’t play God or guru and so will not assume my interpretations are exactly correct, they are strong, strong possibilities, though.

My quote in NY Magazine: “I see a female image holding the ‘bow of authority.’ Makes me think that Kamala — not really Biden, but Kamala — may draw the votes and win.” —Elaine Clayton, psychic-intuitive medium

Stream Drawing 1,2,3

Stream drawing is used crucially in three main ways:

  1. As a visual, creative-meditation method in where one draws freely and uses color to express wellbeing, in a stream of consciousness flow (think of the coloring craze–how everyone knew that recapturing the good vibes we once knew from childhood while intensely coloring in coloring books, reset our feelings of balance and happiness)
  2. As an intuitive visual tool in where the stream drawing line work talks to us in meditation, triggering memories and feelings in a more consciously recognizable way (we see in the stream drawing, without effort, images that we associate with objects, people, places–these hold meanings and messages for us that have a wealth of knowledge and insight for us)
  3. Stream drawing is used as a way to do in-depth intuitive readings for ourselves or for another. I am, as an intuitive reader, honored to create intuitive stream drawings on behalf of clients who seek me out, and in such cases spend close to an hour doing a stream drawing and meditation prior to reach reading which lasts an hour.
1.This is a stream drawing created with the stream-of-consciousness flow, much like the freedom of joyous interplay we immersed in as children with our coloring books. This kind of visual, creative-meditation is more important now than ever because of the excess stress and angst we feel with all that goes with a global pandemic and social revolution underway.

2. This is a stream drawing depicting the effortless visual finding of recognizable imagery in the drawing–which, when playfully notating and pondering, can lead to very meaningful insights as they trigger memories, personal unconscious meanings and associations which are emotive and important to explore.
3. Stream drawings are also used as a form of intensely deep intuitive/psychic readings, as they become visual tools for inner knowing and guides for intuiting for self, or on behalf of others or for questions we have about life. I have offered intuitive stream drawing readings for over a decade now, and wrote MAKING MARKS: Discover the Art of Intuitive Drawing because I wanted to empower people to develop their own way of deepening their natural intuitive gifts, so that people would not be taken in by charlatans, and could seek their own intuitive guidance by those they trust when/if they need to, but would never allow anyone to get in-between themselves and the innate guidance they are never separated from, deep within.
