Pure concentration yesterday afternoon as we put together some homemade pinhole cameras.

We love a good creative session here and they were surprisingly effective for projecting an image of a tiny eclipse inside the box.

This is an example of a neurograhic process in action. Because this method is about problem solving we can encounter "blocks" along the way.

In this one I found that mid process I didn't like the colour combinations and felt they clashed.

I persevered and brought in some balancing colours from different sides of the colour spectrum. NG is all about creating balance and harmony with shapes and colours and finally it felt like a breakthrough.

This is problem solving on paper and often we experience frustration and dissatisfaction until we resolve it through the process.

Happy Summer Holidays to all of the children and young people who've worked hard or struggled through the school year. Whether you've flourished and shone or kept your head down and soldiered through, enjoy a well earned rest.

No 6.30am starts for me over the next 6 weeks and time to chillax.

School's out!

Stay hydrated folks! 💧 We're not used to these temperatures and even in the shade it's dehydrating.

For neurodivergent folk extremes of temperatures are felt more accurately, which impacts sleep and energy levels.

Look after yourselves 🩵

Neurographica is such a simple and enjoyable process of therapeutic doodling. It allows you to drift into Theta brain state which reduces cognitive overload , slows down fast thinking and helps regulation. This kind of focused doodling connects us with intuition and problem solving.

I often show clients this technique who then develop it in their own style.

Doodles with clients

For my neurodivergent clients doodling is part of the therapeutic experience.

How does doodling help?

First it focuses the mind and helps to reduce anxiety. It's a great fidget.

Second it uses colour which many ND people pair with feelings, events, even seasons.

Third it can act as a sensory soother and light up a neurodivergent brain.

💛🧡💚🩵💙💜❤️
