After many years of struggling to cope with symptoms of an unlabeled mental illness, I began to experiment with drawing as a method for healing. By using an “energy drawing” technique, originating from the pure necessity to overcome the desperation of my subdued/subconscious stresses and emotions , I was able to essential “draw-out” from me these hidden fears. Now, after many years of working with this practice during times of overwhelming pressure or emotional distress, I’ve begun to notate and fine-tune the technique into a teachable process. I’m hoping to work these next few years to create a platform for teaching “energy drawing” to others, to monitor the results of the technique with my students, and to eventually develop the process into a recognized form of emotional/stress self-help therapy.
The technique, borrows elements used in several types of meditation, thought analysis, motion study, and free hand sketching. Working now to get the first project proposals underway, I will be posting updates regarding developments, volunteer requests, and study results over the next few months.
