Intuitive stream drawing sessions with me involve very complex but engaging and enlivening, often real life-changing imagery. Two views are offered twice, loaded with content that involves past, present and future concepts (the constructs we seem to orient ourselves by but which we are not oppressively subject to or imprisoned by as we imagine ourselves to be) and two chakra views, serving as visual images of the emotional centers of the body. In this view, we see that we have many “inner children” or stages of maturation that get activated routinely, whether throughout the day or in specific areas of life, be it romance, career or sense of direction and more. And we have physical, emotional and mental energy running through each center of the body, so there is a lot of activity happening from head to toe!
Sometimes past life or cell memory influences enter in, and the emotional and physical traumas of those who came before us (and how it was all dealt with) has an impact on us. Think of war veterans and illnesses, and the way these traumas can linger in families for generations. Oppression and hardship get passed down and we work them out continually. It is not all just strife, though, there is honor, valor, determination, love, greatness and endurance earned over time that we also carry in our bodies, from crown to root.
Trying an intuitive stream drawing reading opens you up to seeing your life in a new and unusual way, somewhat like understanding dream imagery, whether it be symbolic or literal, but with humor, surprise and profoundly moving depth. In the above stream drawing, the client’s “spirit animal” for many years turns out to be the dragon, so having a hatching dragon in one chakra chart view is especially meaningful. The presence of a monk, too, was a delight, as her grandfather was a monk. Mediumship is often the most powerful feature of readings, yet we have no control over that. It is meaningful to have visual perspective, unique and poignant, to guide and deepen conscious awareness to enable strength, sense of purpose and empowerment. The purpose of these readings is to empower anyone choosing to enter into the process, to determine the essence and direction of life and cultivate creative self-determination.
My first book for children was on conflict resolution and then as a visiting author and artist in schools, libraries and museums, with public and private groups I taught a drawing technique to children for the purpose of developing empathy and working well with peers as a result. That lead to a deep meditation drawing practice that I teach mainly to adults (kids already know naturally) and found it to be a joyous way to recapture creative empowerment (an essential for being human) and empathic, intuitive “quiet knowing”. This is something we all have and need to develop more since imagination, creativity and spiritual sensing are all in one place (not just the right side of the brain, but in our hearts, too).
