by Elaine Clayton —
Whether doodling in a notebook or drawing in the sand, free-form drawings are windows into your intuitive self.
Inside every simple mark lies visual imagery with the power to open you up to solutions and answers, heal the past and increase your empathetic sensing.
Clayton challenges you to tap into your creative self for growth and inspiration through the intuitive language of drawing.
She shows you how to embark on a journey where you do not need to stress about perfect style or composition — even the most carefree and simple drawing has a world of information and power waiting to be unlocked.
Not only will you feel more focused, but you will learn to tap into hidden wells of creativity and artistic inquisitiveness through fun, interactive exercises, vibrant illustrations and detailed interpretations to help you gain deeper insights from your own drawings.
People retain 29 percent more information when they doodle, so get ready to unleash the power of your own intuitive intelligence through the simple, innate act of making marks.
