General info about Neurographica, also known as Neurographic Art

Art Supplies for Successful Neurographica

The most crucial consideration for Neurographica is your focus. We become present and look within, pouring our souls on paper. The purpose of the process is to connect with our subconscious and co-create answers and outcomes. Neurogaphica drawing is not for hanging on a wall or looking pretty; it’s simply a byproduct of our introspective work. The quality of the drawing is not judged by its appearance. It is judged by how well it helped you to unfold your Theme. This is the first step in the Neurographica Algorithm process. Once, I worked with a client who was at the airport due to a scheduling conflict. They used a black ballpoint pen and a cocktail napkin as paper. It ended up being one of the most powerful sessions they ever had, despite the meager supplies.

That said, there is no reason to skimp on your art supplies for Neurograpica. If you have a good range of drawing tools, your process is likely to run more smoothly. Many of the drawings look quite beautiful because, for the most part, we are beautiful on the inside.

For me, the most essential Neurographica drawing tool is a black marker. It is what I use to start the drawing and what I use to take it through each algorithm step. I have many markers of different widths, with fine ones used to create the composition and thicker ones to create field lines later on.

The beige markers in the middle are made by Pigma Micron, a Japanese company specializing in high-end drawing implements. They use archival-quality ink and are a pleasure to use, but they can be expensive, with each marker costing up to $5 or more. To keep costs manageable, I recommend using good-quality Sharpies, which come in various widths and work very well for Neurographica. Check out the Sharpie variety packs, which provide all the black markers you’ll need, from thick to thin. I can also recommend Sharpies for your color markers, as well as any other brand names or knock-offs. Many people also enjoy using the fat highlighters of various colors because the wider chisel tip allows them to cover more space on paper quickly.

For coloring, I often use pencils instead of markers. They allow me to vary the pressure, creating lighter and darker areas of the same color. This produces a nice three-dimensional effect. There are some really nice high-end brand names, like Koh-I-Noor, that you can get, but I personally found that pretty much any soft color pencil, properly sharpened, will do the trick. The sharpening part is crucial. I highly recommend getting a fancy automated sharpener. In addition to saving time, it can adjust the length and thickness of the pencil tip. This allows you to sharpen a nice, long lead that you can then press it against the paper at just the perfect angle.

Happy drawing! If you have other questions about Neurographica supplies or techniques, feel free to drop by my free Open House to chat or share your work for feedback.

Building the Life You Want with the Integrated Self Algorithm

Most of us live in a default “Me vs. The World” mode of operation. We assume that there is a separate “I” and a separate “World Out There.”

A better paradigm, “I am the World,” describes our reality more accurately. In this view, everything falls into place, and we cease struggling. Fear, doubt, and other nasty side effects of the segregated model fall away effortlessly. Now, we are simply Being. We are Here and Now. Negativity is transmuted into joy and struggle into play.

Neurographica is our perfect playground for exploring the new Integrated Self. This is a place of creative imagination where we can safely try different life scenarios. We can use simple and clear visual symbols instead of complicated thoughts to find our way. Using colors for emotions, we can explore our potential human stories and plan for a better tomorrow.

I invite you to explore the Integrated Self Algorithm with me. After we navigate the steps together for the first time, you can start using the method yourself and make it a powerful addition to your self-help toolkit.

To sign up, select “Individual Session with Anton” and let me know that you want to explore the Integrated Self Algorithm. Enjoying this experience with a group of friends or family is also an option. 

Transform Your Recovery: Discover Neurographica for Addiction

Addiction is one of the most challenging problems we face. It is destructive, disruptive, and notoriously difficult to get rid of. Current treatment methods leave a lot to be desired, and the relapse rates are high.

Therapists and 12-step groups work with the conscious mind using talk therapy, yet most of the addictive behavior is subconscious, hidden far beneath language and thoughts.

Neurographica provides a new and radically different way of working with addiction. This method is non-verbal, penetrating deep beneath the language structures. Using visual thinking, we can access our subconscious to release the problem behaviors.

If you are struggling or currently in recovery, I invite you to join me every Sunday at 3 pm MST for a mindfulness-based support group. We will use Neurographic drawing techniques to break free of our addictions and compulsions. The group will be one hour long, and no previous drawing experience is necessary.

This group is offered simultaneously online via Google Meet and in person at Roots and Leaves Kava Bar, a new wellness center at 7576 W Jewell Ave in Lakewood. The work is donation-based, similar to AA or NA, where you can contribute however much you are able. Nobody is turned away.

Please sign up here if you plan to come in person or join us online. I will provide some supplies, but you may want to bring a notebook or pad with unmarked pages for drawing and journaling and a set of colored markers or pencils.

Wherever you are in your recovery journey, I welcome you to try this new, effective method available for the first time.

Neurographica – The Art of Being Present

Mindfulness is the practice of paying deliberate attention to the present moment without judgment. It can be described as “the art of being present.”

Neurographica is a method uniquely positioned to help you practice mindfulness because it combines drawing and psychology in a way that promotes self-awareness, emotional release, and problem-solving. Here’s how it works:

  • Mindful Focus: The act of drawing itself requires focus and attention to the present moment. As you create lines, shapes, and patterns, you engage your senses and become fully immersed in the process, similar to meditation. This can help quiet the mind and bring a sense of calm.
  • Problem-Solving: Neurographica is a goal-oriented visual thinking practice that encourages you to overcome challenges and answer questions by using lines and shapes in your drawing. By transforming these elements through following Neurographicas’ seven-step algorithm process, you engage your brain in finding creative solutions, which can translate to problem-solving skills in real-life situations.
  • Emotional Expression: The free-flowing nature of Neurographica allows emotions to surface and be expressed visually. As you draw, you might notice patterns or colors that reflect your current emotional state. This can help you become more aware of your feelings and provide a healthy outlet for them.
  • Neural Pathway Stimulation: The combination of art and psychology in Neurographica is believed to stimulate new neural pathways in the brain, also called neuroplasticity. This can lead to increased creativity, improved cognitive function, and a greater sense of well-being.
  • Self-Discovery: The process of creating a Neurographic drawing reveals insights about yourself and your subconscious mind. As you explore your thoughts and feelings through art, you will uncover new understandings or perspectives that will lead to personal growth and spiritual transformation.

Neurographica is a breakthrough modality that offers a unique way to practice mindfulness by combining creative expression with psychological awareness. It’s an invaluable tool for managing stress, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering personal and spiritual growth. 

I offer a series of classes that introduce you to the magic of Neurographica and give you the tools you need to start practicing it yourself. I recommend starting with an extended foundational class offered on Fridays, followed by four shorter classes once you’ve mastered the basics. The learning doesn’t stop there. Afterward, you will have access to free weekly hangouts where we follow your progress and discuss each other’s drawings. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions or attend one of the free “Open Houses” offered during the week. 

Can Neurographic Art Cause Harm?

I received a communique from the Institute of Creativity in St. Petersburg, penned by Pavel Piskarev, the creator of Neurographica. Here are a few main points from his message:

 • Neurographica is not “just simple drawing.” It is a method based on neurobiology, philosophy, and psychology principles.

 • Neurographica should be practiced only under the guidance of a licensed Instructor. 

 • Neurographica is a method that works deeply with the conscious and unconscious. If you start teaching without proper training, you can easily cause harm to others without realizing it.

 • If misused, Neurographica can trigger negative emotions and memories and strengthen existing problems.

I get daily messages from people telling me they started practicing Neurographica after watching a few YouTube videos. I always encourage everyone to continue learning and to begin practicing after taking a class with a licensed practitioner.

I offer several introductory classes to this magical method. I also offer free weekly Open Houses for those who want feedback on their drawings or have questions. You’re welcome to stop by! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Neurographica – Change Within Reach

Humans live through stories. Those who pick stories of victimhood and lack will have very different lives than those who hold the story of success and abundance.

Change your narrative, and your entire life will change. 

But, as anyone can attest, changing your story is easier said than done. We are desperate for a better life, yet we seem stuck in an unhealthy narrative, no matter how hard we try.

Changing our narrative is hard because we lack effective tools. Our stories are buried deep in the subconscious and not stored in words alone. Our usual language-based methods don’t work well here. We go from one motivational speaker to the next, all for naught.

Pavel Piskarev in front of his “Pyramid of Consciousness”

This is where Neurographica can help. It’s a non-verbal modality structured to go beyond the story. Each step of a Neurographica algorithm corresponds to a “level” on what Pavel Piskarev calls the “Pyramid of Consciousness.” This pyramid resembles Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” a well-known model describing our human experience.

We need a logo for a site dedicated to Neurographic Art, embodying the concept of redrawing the world in a creative and innovative way, capturing the essence of imagination and self-expression through a unique and captivating design.

In Neurographics, we use visual forms – lines, geometric shapes, and color to access various levels of the mind. The visual forms work deep in our psyche, affecting our subconscious, where words can’t reach.

If you’ve been struggling to change your story or feel stuck in the old patterns, Neurographic Art is a brand-new modality that is well worth trying out. The popularity of this method is a testament to its success. I have used Neurographca for personal change and have seen it work effectively for others time after time. Some even call it “the magic of Neurographica,” although there is a lot of science and theory behind the magic.

I offer several classes that will help you take a leap into change. I recommend starting with the “Removal of Limitations” Masterclass, which is considered an introduction to the entire field of Neurographic Art.

You may have questions or are unsure how to begin your Neurographica journey. Take advantage of one of my “Open Houses,” a free Q&A event. Neurographica is ready to help you change your narrative!

Seven Steps of a Neurographica Algorithm (DOWNLOAD a PDF doc)

Each Neurographica Algorithm consists of seven steps. These steps need to be followed closely in order for a drawing to be a true Neurographica drawing. Pavel Piskarev created the steps, and he’s quite adamant about students following them faithfully.

If you look online, you will see a great variety of instructions on how to do Neurographica. While there is some room for flexibility and creativity, you should stick with the original seven steps, just as they have been designed, in order to get the most benefit out of your drawing process.

Many of my students asked me for a cheat sheet, so I created a PDF document you can download with an outline of each step. Feel free to download, repost, and share with others.

However, please remember that this is only a very brief outline. There is no substitute for taking a class and learning each step thoroughly and in detail.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the seven steps. I offer classes and two “Open Houses” to get you started in your Neurographica journey.

What can Neurographic Art do for You?

• Drawing inspires creativity, generates insights, and helps you devise new ways of doing things. Neurographica’s graphical language allows us to arrive at solutions not accessible through verbal paradigms.

• Drawing is fun! Think doodling on steroids and with a purpose!

• Neurographica will help you heal, restore, and rest deeply. Becoming present puts us into our spiritual home and creates a healing field of Prana, a life force without which our body can not function.

Drawing with an experienced facilitator is a form of therapy that may create positive outcomes. As you navigate through your subconscious, your inner energy helps unravel and release unhelpful mental and emotional blocks.

• Neurographica is an excellent method to develop and maintain the state of aware presence, sometimes called mindfulness. The benefits of mindfulness are grounded energy, mental clarity, and cultivating a confident, calm state of being.

• Neurographica is an excellent way to break out of the Default Mode of habitual thinking and access expanded consciousness. Activated neuronal networks in your brain create eye-opening results. Drawing puts you in the Flow State without the help of psychedelics or any other substances.

• Neurographica is the language Spirit understands. We can manifest virtually anything by connecting to the fabric of quantum consciousness and modeling our reality there.

Model Reality with Neurographica’s Gratitude Algorithm

Neurographica is a beautiful meditative drawing practice that can be viewed as a conversation with the Spirit. For the past month, I have been helping clients explore the Gratitude Algorithm. Each algorithm in Neurographica is simply a different way of starting a conversation, and The Gratitude Algorithm is one of the most loved and effective Neurographica methods we know.

The Universe is a quantum energy field always in a state of YES. The Gratitude Algorithm helps to place our human consciousness into a state of YES, so we synch with the Universe.

Once in synch, we enter the Flow State, a space of effortless grace and joy. This is our spiritual home; it’s the only place to find genuine rest, natural creativity, and real healing.

This is also a place where the Universe listens to us. Using The Gratitude Algorithm, we translate our wishes into graphical form and offer them to the Spirit as a drawing.

The process allows us to model our reality with genuine manifesting. We don’t control the energy of the Universe, but we can co-create with it if we are in a state of Aware YES.

I am offering a range of classes, and I welcome you to join me and experience the Magic. The cost is only $25, and the class covers the entire Neurographica algorithm completion process, so you learn how to talk to the Spirit on your own.

If you have any questions, please contact me. I hold two Open Houses. They are free, creative environments where people can gather, answer questions, and BE PRESENT. You can find the links to Open Houses and Master Classes HERE.

I look forward to witnessing your beautiful energy of Presence and sharing the Neurographica method with you.
