Thank you for your feedback and I am happy that my video was able to help you and made you feel better. This is a simple method that can help with anxiety ,depression and Chronic pain
Mary Armini is a charming instructor. I am 81 years old and remember making this type of drawing as a child. Without knowing it at the time, I believe I was soothing myself. Having no artistic ability to draw pretty pictures, I somehow found myself drawing this same type of thing and coloring it in with crayons. This takes the process to the next level. To know you can help yourself mentally/ emotionally by doing these drawings is very nice. We need art in our lives.
This has blown me sway! I'm near 60 and just discovered UA-cam and when I came across this I remembered I would draw this way for hour's at a time as a child, I now know it's how I got through many very emotional event's of difficulty. Wow, who would have known? I'm now about to reconnect with this to aid severe osteoarthritis and I know already how enjoyable this was even 50 yrs ago! Thank you so so much 🙏👵🇦🇺
@Susan Burns hi, yes as a teenager forty years ago i also was playing around a lot with these self same drawing patterns! I love how someone decides they have ''invented'' something thats been around forever, in truth :) but kudos for turning it into a ''thing''. (just don't patent it, you guys that would be truly silly)

Same! I had completely forgotten that my brother and I would do these as a kid 40+ yrs ago, including the rounding and coloring. Talk about a flood of lost memories that just returned as I watched this. How tf did we know how to do this intrinsically as kids, and then to lose it altogether! Maybe now it will help w my physical pain levels.
I have drunk the “Koolaid” ! I have watched other neurographica sessions and enjoyed all of them. That said, this one and releasing anxiety session are by far my favorites. Neurographica is helping me with grief, depression, self doubt, and the feeling of hopelessness. Thank you for presenting this for those of us who need access to this remarkable therapy.
I am in severe chronic pain from cervical spine and shoulders losing function and fibromyalgia. Can’t take oral pain meds due to CKD. I am happy to find you. I have been coloring 6 years now and doing my first Neurographic graphic paper. Will be 80 years old soon.
I'm 60 with FM/CSF.... I have used art for many years to assist in pain relief.... it works. I have always done art... specializing in fabric arts and quilting. I added Zentangle Inspired Arts.... ink, pencil crayons, watercolours. Recently I added paint dotting with acrylic paints. I'm really excited to try this neurographic art!❤❤❤ Best Wishes Dianne.
@mycreativeheart4159 45 and dealing w chronic pain as well. I ordered dotting pens the other day , and literally kept falling asleep watching several dotting tutorials today lol
It's kind of like tidying, putting things to right. Creating chaos and then sorting it out and conquering it with color. Calming, satisfying, meditative.
If you change your scale, you will see even those sharp edges are made of smaller round edges. But maybe what I should have said is mother nature doesn't usually give us square edges at 90 degrees. Good point, well made.
I'VE LOOKED AND LOOKED AT TONS OF VIDEOS TO TRY AND FIND A CLEAR AND CONCISE VIDEO THAT I COULD UNDERSTAND. ONE THAT WAS EXPLAINED BY A PROFESSIONAL. i HAVE FOUND A RUSSIAN ONE. HOWEVER, THIS IS THE ONE!!! IT IS SO TRUE, HOW I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO FIGHT MYSELF, SOMEWHAT FRUSTRATING, BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY, BUT JUST CLEANSING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PRODUCE THIS VIDEO. I SUFFER FROM MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, MDD, & PTSD. I AM A PRODUCTIVE WOMAN, BUT STRUGGLE TO BE MIDFUL AND FOCUS! THIS IS PERFECT FOR ME!
I am so glad you found this helpful. there are more videos on my youtube channel that explain the process and I am going to do live releases on Thursdays starting December 21, 2023. I hope you can take advantage of these sessions too and ask any questions you might have.
@@mary_amini Hi Mary, I don't draw the Neurographic way ,I get a standard ended card, I start drawing,real tiny things, like people, animals ,and all kinds of cool patterns,it helps me to feel really good, and I did 30 of these art- works,then I plan on glueing them to a folding screen, which will take a while to do,🥰
Thank you for confirming this. Art definitely helped heal my chronic pain compared to other healing modalities including talk therapy. It’s amazing how powerful our super conscious mind to help heal our emotional wounds, especially for us who were not aware about how trauma can affect us even in our adult lives that will manifest in physical pain/diseases.
This is an excellent video! I watched a couple of other videos on Neurographic drawing, but they were so “lightweight” or superficial on the mental and emotional connections while doing the work whereas this one is so much more in-depth on those levels. I’m going to really enjoy doing this technique, and look forward to seeing some health benefits. I would love to see a follow-up video where she goes into next steps, like coloring techniques and how various methods might work to re-wire the brain. Thank you for this.
I agree that other videos I have watched have not fully explained how to draw the lines and what they mean in the process. I have watched crafters on UA-cam and they are more concerned with creating art rather than healing themselves. I look forward to the follow-up video where Mary instructs on a focus area of our piece. I found it very interesting to avoid just coloring one section. I'd like to hear more about that.
So many people would benefit from a creative outlet. This is a simple, do-able creative outlet to lose yourself in. I sew, and my dog keeps me from overdoing it because he insists I take breaks. My fibro is never happy with my sewing projects but being creative makes my soul sing!
Thank you so much Wendy for your reply. I am happy this video was able to help you. I hope you fibro feels better soon. My goal with this channel is to promote not only Traditional pain medicine But also explain other alternative treatments for paint
Yesterday was the 39th anniversary of the flare up that got me diagnosed. Been pretty much downhill from there. Small victories are victories, nonetheless. I'm still here!
I have done this all my life didn’t have a name for it. I still do it especially when stressed I’ll just start to scribble lines or draw hearts circles triangles boxes on tops of boxes now I know why. Thank you
This is doodling, just a specific style. Much better than zen doodling which I see as stifling the creative output by having to follow set patterns given you. Not till you break out of that and let the unconscious guide you are you truly doodling. I've been doing this since I was 15 and saw a painting on the back of a sf book. I'm 65 this year. This style is much more flowing and creative while giving a guideline style. I'd encourage you to go with flow and do your own thing as the mood takes you. I like to draw watching something... Then I feel 100% of my attention is on what I am watching and on what I'm drawing. Unconsciously I pick up patterns from what I'm watching. My whole brain is engaged so I don't think or stress about anything. My hands itch (without an itch) if I don't draw every day. Usually gel ink on Bristol paper (smoothest paper). Today I went to a craft afternoon where we drew on rocks. With acrylic felt tip. A new doodle medium unlocked.
It feels like stretching to say someone 'invented' this technique... I always feel like the terminology should be 'popularized' or maybe even 'discovered', but tons of people have used this very activity for decades with the same general purpose in mind. it's nice to know there's terminology around it now tho--thank you for an enlightening video. :) My childhood journals/notebooks are full of this stuff, much of it penmanship/letter-based embellishments, but after a TBI in 2017 they took a radically deeper turn. I appreciate having a vocabulary for talking about it.
i know what you are refering to but were you also rounding and setting intentions? i think that is what they are referring to. it is the rules that differentiate it- rules that speak the to brain in a certain way that can actually be captured on brain imaging. EDIT- I've actually looked into it- this video really does not even give the basics- it's far more indepth.
I have been neurographic art on my own it is addictive for me. I have neuropathy in my feet and hands. I do not have diabetes but still suffer with burning. Thank you for this video. I now know more about it.
When we were kids we colored. It was serious business. It is not every day that I find something that excites me but this does. Just seeing the rounded intersections sparks something in me. Thanks for presenting this!
I am 65 and my grandma taught me to "draw touching pebbles" we then coloured in the spaces in the same pencil then coloured the,pebbles this was 60 years ago it just didn't have a name We always did it when I talked about my brain hurting many years later I was diagnosed with bipolar Who knew grandma's were so wise Thank you for giving this a name and explaining how it has been helping me for 60 years All those new to this please share it with friends who you know need it even if they don't know it yet I used to do this in pencil and coloured pencils and still do There were no sharpies then
This art really works for overcoming all kinds of distress and types of suffering! Amazing how well it works and you get a beautiful piece of art as a bonus!
This is the most understandable explanation I have heard of this process. Thank you. I had tried it before with someone else but was simply mimicking what the facilitator did without understanding what I was doing or why.
It is Friday 10-13-23. The world is in a stressful place. This really helped me with my anxiety. I am not sure how I can send you a picture of what came out of my soul but it was amazing
It's elicited some kind of mindfulness for me. Like, as I rounded up each intersection, the creation I see on my paper gives this feeling of being able to smoothe the sharp edges; kinda like doing away with edginess by relaxing. I had been on pain relievers for years but somehow they never really gave me some relief! I am so tired at 70 getting my life off of these synthetic drugs that leave me fog-minded. So, I'm happy I came across this video and started "looping". And let's see where this takes me. Thanks for this discovery!
I just started doing this type of art because I thought it was so beautiful. However, seeing your video today (this one 😉), I learned so much more about how to actually do it. I suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I can hardly wait to do this art properly and have it help me beyond just feeling relaxed while I’m doing it. 😊. Thank you so much for this video, it is so informative. I’m actually going to show it to my pain management doctor. I’m hoping they will share it with their other patients. Hopefully it will make a difference in their lives. Thank you again
Thank you so much and I would appreciate if you could share this with you I have so many of my patience finding this method beneficial you can think of it as a drawing meditation. Thank you again for your feedback
This is what I was looking for but didn't know it! I started this with a headache by the time I was done it was gone. I felt so relaxed. Please create additional follow ups!
not sure about Pavel being the discoverer of this type of art, LOL. I remember doing this stuff as a teenager in the mid seventies with pencil and pen. Most of my friends were doing similar things, covering our school books with these types of patterns. Especially if the class was rather dull!
I remember doing this kind of thing in the 1950’s and finding it very relaxing. Anytime I was bored or needed to occupy myself I would make lines that looped and waved and divided up the paper , then fill in the open spaces with crayons. It was fun then and it’s fun now. 19:06
Thank you. Came across this a few weeks ago. This is a lovely explanation. I doodled like this whenever going through stress and would then colour. I live with fibromyalgia, chronic pain and fatigue. Complex PTSD. driven. I am an artist now in retirement so will get into this again.
I've encountered people talking about this on video but this is the clearest I've seen as to what it really is. Would love to know more about what the algorithms are and how one connects or applies it to specific subjects or issues.
I have severe anxiety depression and chronic back pain I no longer take opioids for over 12 years now so I needed to find positive ways to deal with pain and stess this has helped me so so much
Thank you 🦋🦋🦋 This will be my new thing after crocheting big blankets, macrame planthangers ans paint pouring. I also love my coloring books. Yeey, can't wait for the morning, I'm going on a canvas directly 💙
💥This may be why people feel calm and comfortable when living in a round house with no square rooms at all. - I've seen people plan to build their homes this way.... most likely without realizing the depth of why they chose a round home in the first place. Makes complete sense! I loved this video!! THANKYOU ♥ I learned a lot.
This is bizzare. A few yearago I began to have chronic pain. Over time I began doodling shapes, patterns, etc on scrap paper. I then began to draw on graph paper. I draw everyday, a few hours a day. I was curious as to why I suddenly began to draw for hours at a time. I get great satisfaction and my pain is lowered. It seems as if my subconscious mind lead me to this. It has almost become an addiction. I do not think I could go a day without drawing. Some of them are pretty good. I draw geometric shapes, mandalas, surreal psychadelic worlds. It works! It does not take all my pain away, but it definitely diverts my pain a few hours a day. My body needed an outlet and found one. Amazing. Thank You for explaining.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m planning to do the second video which she is going to talk about more details of lines and perhaps a discussion of colors. Stay tuned
I just started looking at Neurographica and am very intrigued by the possibilities as a meditation alternative when people say their mind is to busy (or ‘buzzy’) to meditate. Thank you for sharing this session - each article I read or video I watch takes me to another level. Cheers
Just watched, Wow! Watching this I can feel just how therapeutic it would be. Thank you for sharing this amazing technique. I will really enjoy this!! ❤️
I love this art and have been doing it for a while but your video was really helpful because she explained the details of the process and intention, so well. Thank you so much! I have already sent this to many friends.
Really thankful for this video! I’ve been looking a long time for some art therapy prompt/exercise, and this is perfect! Excellent explanation, and I appreciate the information about what actually makes this process therapeutic, as other videos I had watched were more artistic. So excited to experiment with this process! Thank you both.
Thank you so much for your great feedback, I am so happy to hear that You enjoyed our video. I am planning to do the second video with her soon. Stay tuned
@@AskYourPainDoc very glad to hear that. I would be interested in how Neurographic art can help those in the neurodiverse/autistic community, PTS/complex trauma, and inner child work.
I've not seen the instruction to draw in opposition to first intuitive impulse on any other neurographic UA-cams. Her explanations are the most comprehensive I've heard. Unfortunately, she was wanting to demonstrate a Release when the session ended. Since she referenced Releases several times during the recording, I was eager to see this. I will now have to do some neurographic art on my feelings of frustration! Still, I am very grateful for this video! Thank you both.
Thank you for your note, just recorded the second video that she dives deep into the colors and release , it’s a wonderful deep dive into this , stay tune
Absolutely fascinating. I am hooked. I will definitely be applying this method to my art classes. I’m sure my students would find this so therapeutic, especially when studying for their exams. So relaxing just watching and I am very excited to try this out. Thank you so much for such an informative and inspiring video.
Since I’ve been doing this since the mid 80’s I feel that the Russian doctor has just put a fancy name to the feeling of entering into ‘flow’ when doing something you love
In other vids the lovely Mary Amini describes that what she does is based on a stricter form called 'neurographica' . She calls what she does here Neurographic Art to differentiate from that, Just be aware that there's also a lot of doodly/freeform 'Neurographic Art' vids around on UA-cam, which don't have the structure, psychological intention and results of either what Mary is doing, or the original Neurographica.. Don't confuse it with eg doodly vids that say 'colour each space inside the lines a different colour'' or 'put a bunch of polka dots or stripes in' without rounding.. etc.. and enjoy whatever you do :)
Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Ich habe nicht alles verstanden, aber es ist so wunderbar beschrieben worden. Stimmt es dass man nicht eine Schleife zeichnen soll weil sie zurück geht statt vorwärts zu kommen? Ich habe es so verstanden. Ich habe viele Ängste und eine chronische Krankheit und wäre froh, wenn ich besser damit umgehen könnte. Ich habe auch schon neurographische Bilder gemacht, aber ohne sehr viel Wissen. Ich habe sowieso viel Geduld und bin eher ein langsamer bedachter Typ, bis jetzt. Darum gibt mir dieses meditative Runden der Linien Ruhe. So viel merke ich zumindest. Danke nochmals. ♥Bine
in this mindset artful work, i am not alone, i thought when i just started drawing like this many years ago that i was just a level of strange odd even crazy, all i knew is what i was doing was neat looking all during the process, quirky is often a word i and others use. anyway thank ya'll for my knowledge of yet another thing i'm learning i'm not crazy in doing. forgive my punctuation spelling and grammer and all typoish mess ups. now i go be odd quirkily normal.
That was a intriguing video and explanation of how neurographic drawing can help people. Ms. Amini kept using the term algorithm. I understand the concept as it applies to math, but not how it pertains to this type of drawing. Would you please give us a definition? Thank you.
Hi Ruth, When using Neurographic art, we use a certain number of steps in specific sequences, much like you would for a mathematical equation. So the recipe to each piece of art, the intention behind it and the way it is communication on paper is called the algorithm. However unlike the mathematical algorithm, although everyone follows the same steps, no two people ever get the same expression. Let me know if this makes it a bit more clear for you
you asked how it feels: it feels scary. why would you ignore your intuition? feels nervous. I'd like to follow my intuition more, so I don't suppress myself anymore. Well that's neat. I'm now colouring the rounded bits. Thank you! Relaxing now that I've rounded it. And now I've coloured it. Good! THe questions above are real questions. and comments. Oh man these crayons are about 40 years old and making me sneeze! Found different ones, 15 years old instead haha. Well I'll find newwer ones next time. Thanks for sharing how to do this.
Not following my intuition is what bothers me about this, every time I ignored my intuition in life I always got into deep trouble , so I personally will not ignore my intuition. Besides this, I appreciated this video very much.
Very interesting. I have fibromyalgia and would love to know more. I don’t understand how Mary can go so fast on the counterintuitive lines. If you go that fast it seems you would have to be just following where the hand wants to go…there’s not enough gap to process where it wants to go intuitively then do the opposite. Even though she has practiced this a lot, I still don’t see how it’s possible.
The reason it looks like I am drawing the lines fast is because I allow for the line to flow a bit before i see where not to go next. I find the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and I stick with it but over time I have learned to allow fluidity between changes in direction. So it looks like I am drawing them fast. But it is a great point. Take your time and go slow. Sometimes, to make myself more uncomfortable i use my non-dominant hand or draw the line from right to left. These intensify the experience. Hope this helps.
Thank you AYPD for this excellent and exciting information on how to heal from the inside out. And I found it so fascinating that in nature, things don't grow in a linear way. Everything gets curled or rounded. But I was wondering about snow flakes. Aren't they linear? They have straight, hard edges and different kinds of angles..
I started doing this a few days ago while recovering from covid and it really helps me to focus after 3 weeks of struggling to feel better.
Thank you for your feedback and I am happy that my video was able to help you and made you feel better. This is a simple method that can help with anxiety ,depression and Chronic pain
So glad to hear that this helped. I wish you a speedy recovery.
I am really unwell with covid at the moment so it’s helpful to see this has helped you to recover thank you for sharing 😊

Hi, how does one get certified as an instructor? I am in australia
I have done two drawings but I was looping. I’m glad I found this video. I need to heal.

16:24 "Nature curls everything, she doesn't give us sharp edges." Crystals beg to differ

I love this woman's style 💓
Thank you
I am 65 and my grandma taught me to "draw touching pebbles" we then coloured in the spaces in the same pencil then coloured the,pebbles this was 60 years ago it just didn't have a name
We always did it when I talked about my brain hurting many years later I was diagnosed with bipolar
Who knew grandma's were so wise
Thank you for giving this a name and explaining how it has been helping me for 60 years
All those new to this please share it with friends who you know need it even if they don't know it yet
I used to do this in pencil and coloured pencils and still do
There were no sharpies then
Same Old school design but now we understand why some of the old school method works.
This art really works for overcoming all kinds of distress and types of suffering! Amazing how well it works and you get a beautiful piece of art as a bonus!
It is art with purpose.
Огромная благодарность Павлу Пискарёву, автору Нейрографики. Он просто спас нас...

Thank you for watching this video
This is the most understandable explanation I have heard of this process. Thank you. I had tried it before with someone else but was simply mimicking what the facilitator did without understanding what I was doing or why.
Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for watching the video 👍🙏
It is Friday 10-13-23. The world is in a stressful place. This really helped me with my anxiety. I am not sure how I can send you a picture of what came out of my soul but it was amazing
thank you for your feedback
It's elicited some kind of mindfulness for me. Like, as I rounded up each intersection, the creation I see on my paper gives this feeling of being able to smoothe the sharp edges; kinda like doing away with edginess by relaxing. I had been on pain relievers for years but somehow they never really gave me some relief! I am so tired at 70 getting my life off of these synthetic drugs that leave me fog-minded. So, I'm happy I came across this video and started "looping". And let's see where this takes me. Thanks for this discovery!
Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy that I am happy you find my video helpful. I hope this technique will make you feel better
I just started doing this type of art because I thought it was so beautiful. However, seeing your video today (this one 😉), I learned so much more about how to actually do it. I suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I can hardly wait to do this art properly and have it help me beyond just feeling relaxed while I’m doing it. 😊. Thank you so much for this video, it is so informative. I’m actually going to show it to my pain management doctor. I’m hoping they will share it with their other patients. Hopefully it will make a difference in their lives. Thank you again
Thank you so much and I would appreciate if you could share this with you I have so many of my patience finding this method beneficial you can think of it as a drawing meditation. Thank you again for your feedback
This is what I was looking for but didn't know it! I started this with a headache by the time I was done it was gone. I felt so relaxed. Please create additional follow ups!
Thank you for your feedback more videos are on the way
When I do free motion quilting, I find this so relaxing too. I find this so interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
not sure about Pavel being the discoverer of this type of art, LOL. I remember doing this stuff as a teenager in the mid seventies with pencil and pen. Most of my friends were doing similar things, covering our school books with these types of patterns. Especially if the class was rather dull!
He can fantasize.
There nothing new under the sun
I remember doing this kind of thing in the 1950’s and finding it very relaxing. Anytime I was bored or needed to occupy myself I would make lines that looped and waved and divided up the paper , then fill in the open spaces with crayons. It was fun then and it’s fun now. 19:06
@jcepri so could we! Two of those school friends of mine became professional artists: one a book illustrator-
Kerry Argent, book illustrator
And Joanne Williams sculptor
In a word, a visual exercise in …Mindfulness! I enjoyed this whole explanation of this technique. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for your feedback, I’m glad that you enjoyed it
Thank you. Came across this a few weeks ago. This is a lovely explanation. I doodled like this whenever going through stress and would then colour. I live with fibromyalgia, chronic pain and fatigue. Complex PTSD. driven. I am an artist now in retirement so will get into this again.
Thank you for your feedback
How are you doing now? I hope well~
Thanks lot for great sharing!! I love neurographic art🎨 💗❤💖💚💮💮🐇🦌☘️🐦
Thank you for the feedback
I've encountered people talking about this on video but this is the clearest I've seen as to what it really is. Would love to know more about what the algorithms are and how one connects or applies it to specific subjects or issues.
This is actually very helpful!! I suffer from CPTSD and major depression. It does feel difficult initially. I'm so excited to try this
Thank you for your feedback I’m happy that this simple technique is able to help you I hope you feel better
I have severe anxiety depression and chronic back pain I no longer take opioids for over 12 years now so I needed to find positive ways to deal with pain and stess this has helped me so so much
I am happy to hear that , thank you for your feedback
very nice
Thank you 🦋🦋🦋 This will be my new thing after crocheting big blankets, macrame planthangers ans paint pouring. I also love my coloring books. Yeey, can't wait for the morning, I'm going on a canvas directly 💙
Wonderful!
I really enjoyed this video. I like that there were explanations of the technique details with connection's to brain and thought process.
Thank you for your feedback, actually I found it very interesting for me that drawing these lines can be so relaxing
Here is the second video about Neurographic art.

My art therapist introduced me to this video. This is amazing
Thank you , please also take a look at the second video which is deep dive into this
Thank you for sharing this. This means the world to me.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful technique with us!
Thank you for watching my video
This is a very good explanation of neurographic art, thank you ❤️🇨🇦❤️
💥This may be why people feel calm and comfortable when living in a round house with no square rooms at all.
- I've seen people plan to build their homes this way.... most likely without realizing the depth of why they chose a round home in the first place.
Makes complete sense!
I loved this video!!
THANKYOU ♥
I learned a lot.
Thank you for the feedback! I m glad you liked this video
This is bizzare. A few yearago I began to have chronic pain. Over time I began doodling shapes, patterns, etc on scrap paper. I then began to draw on graph paper. I draw everyday, a few hours a day. I was curious as to why I suddenly began to draw for hours at a time. I get great satisfaction and my pain is lowered. It seems as if my subconscious mind lead me to this. It has almost become an addiction. I do not think I could go a day without drawing. Some of them are pretty good. I draw geometric shapes, mandalas, surreal psychadelic worlds. It works! It does not take all my pain away, but it definitely diverts my pain a few hours a day. My body needed an outlet and found one. Amazing. Thank You for explaining.
Thank you for your feedback
I love this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your feedback
i never knew this was called so. I learned a lot of your procesexplanation and i know this is true because i felt it myself
thank you for your feedback and I am happy you enjoyed my video.
So glad this video popped up. I just subscribed & shared this video on Pinterest.
Thank you
I have done the doodle for years to relax. A lot of good ideas come.
Expertly explained
@29:00 that whole section choked me up explaining the feeling and resolution!
I'm so glad it resonated with you.
Thank you so much! So wonderful that I stumbled on this very excellent video.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m planning to do the second video which she is going to talk about more details of lines and perhaps a discussion of colors. Stay tuned
I just started looking at Neurographica and am very intrigued by the possibilities as a meditation alternative when people say their mind is to busy (or ‘buzzy’) to meditate. Thank you for sharing this session - each article I read or video I watch takes me to another level. Cheers
Thank you for your feedback , working on another video re Neurographic art
Here is the second video about Neurographic art.

thank you for your feedback, I am happy this video is helping you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you ❤
Thank you for the nice comment
I first put my frustration on the paper then smoothed it out with the lines and made it pretty! Awesome process!
Thank you for your feedback. As you can see this is a very simple technique that works!
I love this art and have been doing it for a while but your video was really helpful because she explained the details of the process and intention, so well. Thank you so much! I have already sent this to many friends.
Thank you so much for your feedback this is such a simple technique that can help many
Thanks so much Doctor, this was enlightening
Thank you so watching , more to come
Really thankful for this video! I’ve been looking a long time for some art therapy prompt/exercise, and this is perfect! Excellent explanation, and I appreciate the information about what actually makes this process therapeutic, as other videos I had watched were more artistic. So excited to experiment with this process! Thank you both.
Thank you so much for your great feedback, I am so happy to hear that You enjoyed our video. I am planning to do the second video with her soon. Stay tuned
@@AskYourPainDoc very glad to hear that. I would be interested in how Neurographic art can help those in the neurodiverse/autistic community, PTS/complex trauma, and inner child work.
Thank you so greatly!
Thank you for watching
I have been doing this my hole life to deal with abuse ,,,
Thank you for your feedback I hope that method helps you
I've not seen the instruction to draw in opposition to first intuitive impulse on any other neurographic UA-cams. Her explanations are the most comprehensive I've heard. Unfortunately, she was wanting to demonstrate a Release when the session ended. Since she referenced Releases several times during the recording, I was eager to see this. I will now have to do some neurographic art on my feelings of frustration! Still, I am very grateful for this video! Thank you both.
Thank you for your note, just recorded the second video that she dives deep into the colors and release , it’s a wonderful deep dive into this , stay tune
@@AskYourPainDoc YAY!!
Here is the second video about Neurographic art.
ua-cam.com/video/5Evn0FWftwM/v-deo.html
I am so going to try this. Think it will be a good addition to my self help tool box.
Absolutely fascinating. I am hooked. I will definitely be applying this method to my art classes. I’m sure my students would find this so therapeutic, especially when studying for their exams. So relaxing just watching and I am very excited to try this out. Thank you so much for such an informative and inspiring video.
Thank you for watching this video and my channel
Right angles are maddening. Mother nature doesn't give us sharp edges, she curls everything. 🤯
Thank you for watching and your feedback
Since I’ve been doing this since the mid 80’s I feel that the Russian doctor has just put a fancy name to the feeling of entering into ‘flow’ when doing something you love
Absolutely! I believe he discovered that a simple pathway that could help us to focus and run away from anxiety and deep depression
What a terrific introduction to a fascinating art and therapy form. Might you provide the spelling of Mary’s last name?
Thank you for your feedback, Mary Amini, her contact information is in video description
Excellent explanation !
Thank you , I am happy that you enjoyed our video
Enjoyed video, I am a fine artist so it made me think of trying this and getting in touch with the activities in my brain!
Thank you for your feedback, let me know how it goes
I wonder how the experiment went?
Wow 💜
Hi. I loved this video. I was wondering if You did a follow up showing a release process? Thank You both 🙏🏾
I will thank you
Oh my, I remember doing this in high school. I was forever drawing twisting vines with leaves, sometimes wrapped around a name.
Thank you for your feedback
There is something rather natural and organic about the process. I am glad it brought back fond memories for you.
Wow thanks
Wonderful
Thank you for your comment
In other vids the lovely Mary Amini describes that what she does is based on a stricter form called 'neurographica' . She calls what she does here Neurographic Art to differentiate from that, Just be aware that there's also a lot of doodly/freeform 'Neurographic Art' vids around on UA-cam, which don't have the structure, psychological intention and results of either what Mary is doing, or the original Neurographica.. Don't confuse it with eg doodly vids that say 'colour each space inside the lines a different colour'' or 'put a bunch of polka dots or stripes in' without rounding.. etc.. and enjoy whatever you do :)
Thank you
Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Ich habe nicht alles verstanden, aber es ist so wunderbar beschrieben worden. Stimmt es dass man nicht eine Schleife zeichnen soll weil sie zurück geht statt vorwärts zu kommen? Ich habe es so verstanden. Ich habe viele Ängste und eine chronische Krankheit und wäre froh, wenn ich besser damit umgehen könnte. Ich habe auch schon neurographische Bilder gemacht, aber ohne sehr viel Wissen. Ich habe sowieso viel Geduld und bin eher ein langsamer bedachter Typ, bis jetzt. Darum gibt mir dieses meditative Runden der Linien Ruhe. So viel merke ich zumindest. Danke nochmals. ♥Bine
Would you do an episode on how to release like she mentioned towards the end of the video?
I am going to start doing releases live on UA-cam staring Dec 21. You are more than welcome to come and join me anytime you like.
I naturally started doing this recently to help with grief. It does trigger a little bit of trypophobia though.
in this mindset artful work, i am not alone, i thought when i just started drawing like this many years ago that i was just a level of strange odd even crazy, all i knew is what i was doing was neat looking all during the process, quirky is often a word i and others use. anyway thank ya'll for my knowledge of yet another thing i'm learning i'm not crazy in doing. forgive my punctuation spelling and grammer and all typoish mess ups. now i go be odd quirkily normal.
Thanks for sharing!
I always call art “my meditation”.
That was a intriguing video and explanation of how neurographic drawing can help people. Ms. Amini kept using the term algorithm. I understand the concept as it applies to math, but not how it pertains to this type of drawing. Would you please give us a definition?
Thank you.
Hi Ruth, When using Neurographic art, we use a certain number of steps in specific sequences, much like you would for a mathematical equation. So the recipe to each piece of art, the intention behind it and the way it is communication on paper is called the algorithm. However unlike the mathematical algorithm, although everyone follows the same steps, no two people ever get the same expression. Let me know if this makes it a bit more clear for you
@@mary_amini Yes; thank you!
you asked how it feels: it feels scary. why would you ignore your intuition? feels nervous. I'd like to follow my intuition more, so I don't suppress myself anymore. Well that's neat. I'm now colouring the rounded bits. Thank you! Relaxing now that I've rounded it. And now I've coloured it. Good! THe questions above are real questions. and comments. Oh man these crayons are about 40 years old and making me sneeze! Found different ones, 15 years old instead haha. Well I'll find newwer ones next time.
Thanks for sharing how to do this.
Thanks for sharing!!
Not following my intuition is what bothers me about this, every time I ignored my intuition in life I always got into deep trouble , so I personally will not ignore my intuition. Besides this, I appreciated this video very much.
@@anasoftmarine then please follow your intuition if gives you more inner peace.
How I wish you would not have the creepy music in the background cuz otherwise it was really interesting.
🤣
🙏🦋
🤲
Very interesting. I have fibromyalgia and would love to know more. I don’t understand how Mary can go so fast on the counterintuitive lines. If you go that fast it seems you would have to be just following where the hand wants to go…there’s not enough gap to process where it wants to go intuitively then do the opposite. Even though she has practiced this a lot, I still don’t see how it’s possible.
The reason it looks like I am drawing the lines fast is because I allow for the line to flow a bit before i see where not to go next. I find the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and I stick with it but over time I have learned to allow fluidity between changes in direction. So it looks like I am drawing them fast. But it is a great point. Take your time and go slow. Sometimes, to make myself more uncomfortable i use my non-dominant hand or draw the line from right to left. These intensify the experience. Hope this helps.
💖💥
#RussianArtists thank you so much for inventing this in the 2000s. ❤
Thank you AYPD for this excellent and exciting information on how to heal from the inside out. And I found it so fascinating that in nature, things don't grow in a linear way. Everything gets curled or rounded. But I was wondering about snow flakes. Aren't they linear? They have straight, hard edges and different kinds of angles..
Good point! All crystals are formed with angles. There must be a deeper level to understand here.
Thank you for the comment. Great point
