Classes
No Zoom Classes scheduled at this time.
If you are interested in scheduling a Contemplative Art session/demo (my personal Christian based method of Neurographic art), please email me at mymaxlife1010@gmail.com. These demos/sessions are done from a Christian Life Coach perspective or (in secular setting) using nature as the primary focus. I am not certified as a neurographia art therapist but provide my own method using neurographic art style drawing.
If you are interested in scheduling a Christian based Contemplative Sound Bathing session (in-person only), then please email me. These sessions use only instruments mentioned in scripture. My sessions are based on Scripture and not on modern scientific nor Eastern religious practices. I do not use singing bowls or other instruments that are not mentioned in Biblical Scripture.
My desire is to help you return to the practices of silence, solitude and simplicity. See the MaxLife Blog for my view on meditation.



What is Neurographic Art? Why I Call It Contemplative Art...
Neurographic Art was developed by the Russian philosopher, psychologist, architect and professor Pavel Piskarev in 2014. Piskarev's has a specific method which is used with a mindfulness algorithm. However, I use the basic style (random lines and patterns with rounded corners) but with Christian mediative practices (scripture memorization and contemplative instrumental or Christian music). I do not focus on self-actualization, visualization or manifestation. As a Christian, I feel that these are opposed to the teaching of faith in God manifesting His will and spirit in the lives of Christian believers. When working in a non-Christian group, I focus on Creation/nature by using nature sounds or soothing instrumental music while drawing in the neurographic style. This art style has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. Some reports online suggest that the method used by Piskarev may create new neuro-pathways (neuron connections) in the brain; thus, helping the brain to heal from trauma. I do not claim that my method of neurographic art style will heal trauma, but I have found and my child has found it to be helpful with dealing with anxiety. I have practiced it before going to sleep, which has been helpful.
