00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.279
Welcome back to be the best version foe yourself, the

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.200
space where we explore tools, practices, and little life hacks

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:10.320
that help us slow down, tune in, and connect more

4
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.640
deeply to who we really are. I'm Vicky, and I'm

5
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.199
so glad you're here today because we're going to dive

6
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.039
into something that might seem simple at first glance, but

7
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:23.960
I promise its effects are anything but simple. In this episode,

8
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.440
we're talking about bilateral drawing. If that term sounds a

9
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.920
little unfamiliar, don't worry. You've probably already experienced the essence

10
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.439
of it without realizing it. It's the practice of drawing

11
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.280
simultaneously with both hands. Simple, right, But here's the fascinating part.

12
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.039
When we engage both sides of the brain in this way,

13
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.600
it doesn't just make for an interesting art experiment. It

14
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.960
creates a powerful bridge between our logic and our intuition,

15
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.520
our thinking mind and our feeling body. And that's exactly

16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.600
why it's such a beautiful practice, helping us to connect

17
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.200
to our energy blueprint. In human design, we're guided by

18
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.560
what's called our inner authority, our body's unique decision making compass.

19
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.480
It could be your gut, your sacral response, your heart,

20
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.079
or even your emotional waves. But if our minds are cluttered, stressed,

21
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.799
or overthinking, those subtle signals from our inner authority can

22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.159
get drowned out. Bilateral drawing is a way to quiet

23
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.959
the mental chatter, to slow down the noise, and give

24
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.719
your body a voice again. So, whether you've been struggling

25
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.200
to make a decision, feeling disconnected from your body, or

26
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.519
simply craving a few minutes of mental calm, this episode

27
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.640
is for you. Together, we'll explore not only how to

28
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.319
practice bilateral drawing, but why it works on a neurological

29
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.000
and energetic level, and how it can help you step

30
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.439
more fully into the guidance your body already knows you

31
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.680
know how. Sometimes our minds just feel like a ping

32
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.359
pong match, thoughts bouncing back and forth so fast that

33
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.599
we can barely catch one before another takes over. Maybe

34
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.359
you're worrying about something at work while trying to plan dinner,

35
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.079
all while wondering if you forgot that one thing you

36
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.840
promised a friend. In those moments, it's easy to feel

37
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.800
disconnected from your own body, like you're living in your

38
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.400
head instead of your skin. Your body actually knows a

39
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.080
lot more than your mind gives it credit for it

40
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.960
has subtle wisdom, hints and guidance about what feels right

41
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.919
or wrong, what's safe, what's exciting, what's draining, But it's

42
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.479
hard to hear when your brain is on constant overdrive.

43
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.360
That's where bilateral drawing comes in. The practice is exactly

44
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.039
what it sounds like, drawing with both hands at the

45
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.520
same time, but it's more than just a quirky art exercise.

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.240
When you engage both hands, you're inviting both hemispheres of

47
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.319
your brain to work together, the logical, analytical left side

48
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.039
and the intuitive, creative right side. This simultaneous activation creates

49
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.240
a kind of neural harmony, a gentle slowing down of

50
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.439
mental chatter, and a deeper connection to your body's signals.

51
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.560
It's like opening a two way street between your thinking

52
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.159
mind and your felt experience, giving your body a voice

53
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.719
and your intuition a stage to speak on. With each

54
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.599
line or curve that flows from your hands, you're not

55
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.879
just making marks on paper. You're training yourself to listen,

56
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.919
to notice, and to feel. It's subtle at first, but

57
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.439
over time, this simple act of bilateral drawing can calm

58
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.960
a racing mind, release tensions stored in your body and

59
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.360
help you tune into your inner authority, the part of

60
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.400
you that truly knows what's right for you. When we

61
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.199
draw bilaterally using both hands at the same time, we're

62
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.120
doing more than just doodling. We're creating a bridge between

63
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.240
two very different parts of our brain, the left hemisphere,

64
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.560
which is logical, analytical, and linear, and the right hemisphere,

65
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.919
which is creative, intuitive, and holistic. Normally, these two sides

66
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.800
can work independently or even at odds with each other.

67
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.879
Bilateral drawing encourages them to communicate, which helps bring balance, integration,

68
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.719
and harmony. When your hands are actively engage, your mind

69
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.400
doesn't get to run on autopilot as easily normally. Our

70
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.360
thoughts can feel like a runaway train, racing from one

71
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.759
worry to the next. Deadlines, social obligations, decisions we haven't

72
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.840
made yet, or what if scenarios that keep replaying in

73
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.839
our heads. This constant mental chatter can feel exhausting, like

74
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.120
being stuck on a treadmill that never stops. Bilateral drawing

75
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.959
interrupts that pattern. The act of coordinating both hands forces

76
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.759
your brain to focus on something physical and rhythmic. Suddenly,

77
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.600
instead of being carried away by an endless loop of thoughts,

78
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.680
you begin to notice them. You might catch yourself thinking, ah,

79
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.199
there's that worry about the meeting again. But instead of spiraling,

80
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.040
you see it from a small, curious distance. It's almost meditative.

81
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.720
Your mind starts to slow, not because you're trying to

82
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.519
force it, but because your body has taken the lead.

83
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.639
Thoughts no longer dominate the space. They become guests you

84
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.600
can observe, rather than commands you must obey. Oh. Over time,

85
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.720
this practice strengthens your ability to step out of that

86
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.839
mental treadmill, entirely, creating space for clarity, calm, and awareness

87
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.720
of your body's own wisdom. It's fascinating because something so

88
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.680
simple can act as a reset button. It's like telling

89
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.560
your brain, Okay, we're shifting gears. Let's pay attention to

90
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.160
the moment instead of racing ahead. And in that pause,

91
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:28.319
that gentle slowing, your inner guidance, intuition, and body awareness

92
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.959
have the chance to be heard. When we draw with

93
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.600
both hands, whether mirroring each other or moving in complementary patterns,

94
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.920
we're not just making shapes on paper. We're creating a

95
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.160
gentle rhythm that resonates through the body. Think of it

96
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.600
like your hands sending a subtle signal to your nervous

97
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:49.399
system it's okay. You can relax now. This rhythm works

98
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.879
almost like a mini reset. Your muscles, which may be

99
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.600
holding tension from long hours at a desk, worries or

100
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:01.399
emotional stress, start to loosen. Your breathing often slows naturally,

101
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.120
your shoulders soften, and your heart rate finds a calmer pace.

102
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.920
Even if you don't consciously notice it, your nervous system

103
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.800
is registering that things are safe. It's a form of

104
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.519
embodied self soothing. It's a bit like a massage for

105
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.480
your nervous system. Each stroke, loop, or zigzag you make

106
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.879
is like a tiny nudge saying release, let go breathe.

107
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.639
And the beauty of bilateral drawing is that this happens

108
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.319
without you having to think about it. Your hands do

109
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.759
the work, your body responds, and your mind finally gets

110
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.439
a chance to step off the treadmill of stress. Over time,

111
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.040
this simple practice trains your body to recognize calm more quickly.

112
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.279
Even a few minutes of bilateral drawing can leave you

113
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.600
feeling lighter, more grounded, and less tangled, intention making it

114
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.480
easier to listen to your inner signals and reconnect with

115
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.800
your body's wisdom. When you draw with both hands at

116
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.360
the same time, something interesting happens. You can't just let

117
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.879
your mind run on autopilot. Your body starts to speak

118
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.639
to you, and if you pay attention, it tells you

119
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.639
so much about what's going on inside. You might notice

120
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.240
the pressure in your fingers as they move across the paper,

121
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.319
the subtle tension in your shoulders, or the way your

122
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.600
spine adjusts as you reach and stretch to make a shape.

123
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.399
Even something as automatic as your breathing can become more noticeable.

124
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.360
Maybe it's shallow, maybe it deepens, and that tells you

125
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.879
a lot about how relaxed or tense you actually are.

126
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.720
This act of noticing anchors you in your body. Instead

127
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.600
of being caught in a whirlwind of thoughts about what's next,

128
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.240
what you should have done, or what's coming, your attention

129
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.519
settles into the present moment. You start to sense things

130
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.360
you might normally miss. A flicker of discomfort, a sense

131
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.439
of calm, or even a little spark of excitement. And

132
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.279
here's the magic part. Those subtle signals your body's way

133
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.519
of communicating, are the very messages your inner authority and

134
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.199
human design relies on. If your mind is constantly racisting,

135
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.319
these cues get drowned out, but bilateral drawing gently pulls

136
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.839
you back into your own nervous system, like tuning a

137
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.000
radio until the static fades and the station comes in clear.

138
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.040
You become more attuned to the language of your body,

139
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.639
its rhythms, its preferences, its nudges toward what feels right.

140
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.000
Over time, this heightened bodily awareness doesn't just help in drawing.

141
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.480
It seeps into every part of life. You notice when

142
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.360
your energy is low, when your body is craving movement

143
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.039
or rest, and when something just doesn't feel aligned. Your

144
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.600
inner authority becomes easier to hear because your body has

145
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.840
become your trusted map. When your mind is noisy, filled

146
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.600
with endless lists, doubts, or what if scenarios, making a

147
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.000
decision can feel like a tug of war between logic

148
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.600
and emotion. You might find yourself overthinking, second guessing, or

149
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.399
waiting for some external validation to tell you what to do.

150
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.720
That's exhausting, and it often leaves you stuck in indecision.

151
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.360
Bilateral drawing helps break that pattern by engaging both hands

152
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.120
and both sides of your brain. It quiets the mental

153
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.080
chatter and brings your awareness back into your body. Your

154
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.600
nervous system begins to relax, and your intuition, or in

155
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.240
human design terms, your inner authority, gets room to speak.

156
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.279
In this space of calm, decisions start to feel different.

157
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.480
They don't come from forcing a choice or analyzing every

158
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.360
possible outcome. Instead, they arise naturally, almost effortlessly, from a

159
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.639
deep sense of inner knowing. You might notice a subtle

160
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.360
gut response, a sense of ease or resistance, or a

161
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.240
quiet emotional signal that points you in the right direction.

162
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.519
These are the body's ways of communicating what your mind

163
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.399
alone can't always grasp. Think of it like tuning a radio.

164
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.240
When the static of overthinking is high, the signal of

165
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.639
your inner guidance gets drowned out. Bilateral drawing reduces the static,

166
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.720
allowing the clarity of your body's wisdom to come through

167
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.799
loud and clear. Over time, this practice trains you to

168
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:06.320
trust your instincts, recognize your authentic responses, and make choices

169
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:11.120
that feel aligned, not just logical or convenient. In other words,

170
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.399
decisions stop being a battle and start being a dialogue,

171
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.639
your mind and your body working together with your inner

172
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.919
authority leading the way, and the more you practice, the

173
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.919
more natural it becomes to rely on that quiet, wise

174
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.480
guidance instead of getting lost in endless mental loops. And

175
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.399
that last point becomes even more powerful when we look

176
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.000
through the lens of human design. In human design, each

177
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.799
of us has an inner authority, whether it's sacral, emotional, splenic,

178
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.720
or another type, which acts like our body's internal compass.

179
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.720
This is the part of us that already knows what's right,

180
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.080
often before the mind can catch up. It's instinctive, intuitive,

181
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:55.240
and deeply personal. Think of it like this. Your inner

182
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.559
authority is a quiet, wise guide sitting inside you, always

183
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.720
tuned into what aligns with your energy, your needs, and

184
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.279
your truth. For someone with a sacral authority, this might

185
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.759
feel like a yes or no in the gut, a visceral,

186
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:15.080
immediate response that doesn't need overthinking. For an emotional authority,

187
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.120
it might be waves of feeling that clarify over time,

188
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.000
nudging you toward decisions that honor your emotional clarity. And

189
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.440
for a splinic authority, it's that instant, instinctual knowing, like

190
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.960
a subtle alert from your body telling you what's safe,

191
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.519
what's nourishing or what to release. But here's the challenge.

192
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.919
When the mind is noisy, stressed, or overwhelmed, it's like

193
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.440
a blaring radio, drowning out that quiet inner voice. The

194
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.080
signals from your body become faint whispers, easy to miss

195
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:49.399
or ignore. You might second guess yourself, feel uncertain, or

196
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.799
default to making decisions from fear, logic, or pressure rather

197
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.639
than from what actually feels aligned. This is where bilateral

198
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.039
drawing can be such a game changer. Engaging both hands

199
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.360
and both sides of the brain, you slow down the

200
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.519
mental chatter, relax the nervous system, and give your body

201
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:11.240
space to speak. Suddenly, those subtle signals your guts yes

202
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.759
or no, the flicker of clarity in your spleen, the

203
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.759
emotional wave of knowing can emerge and guide you. It's

204
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.240
like turning down the static so you can finally hear

205
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.519
the wisdom that's been there all along. In essence, bilateral

206
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.480
drawing doesn't just calm your mind. It amplifies your inner authority,

207
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.480
helping you tune into what truly resonates with you, beyond logic,

208
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.879
beyond pressure, and beyond what anyone else thinks you should do.

209
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.519
It reconnects you with that deeply personal compass that's always

210
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.320
been pointing the way. By engaging both hands, you give

211
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.320
your brain a kind of cross training that slows the

212
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.679
mental chatter and quiets the constant stream of thoughts that

213
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.720
usually pulls you in a hundred directions at once. The

214
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.120
rush of mental noise, the to do lists, the worries,

215
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:01.320
the inner critic begins to soften. Your nervous system, which

216
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.120
might be wound tight from stress or over stimulation, starts

217
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.919
to relax. It's like giving your body a microphone and

218
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.440
politely asking your mind to step back for a moment.

219
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.360
And once the mind steps back, something remarkable happens. The

220
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:19.320
subtle signals that were always there, the nudges, the gut feelings,

221
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.840
the soft emotional cues, become easier to notice. These whispers

222
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.039
of your inner authority, The very wisdom that human design

223
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.840
points to start to rise above the background noise. Your

224
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.039
body begins to speak its own language, and suddenly clarity

225
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:40.559
feels less like a concept and more like a lived experience. Decisions, insights,

226
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.360
and guidance don't have to be forced. They emerge naturally,

227
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.799
flowing from a place of alignment, rather than overthinking. When

228
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:53.080
you make bilateral drawing a practice. It's no longer just art.

229
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.919
It transforms into a bridge to yourself, a direct line

230
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.120
to your inner rhythm and intuition. It's a safe for pausing,

231
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.879
for breathing, and for reconnecting with the intelligence of your body.

232
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.879
You're giving yourself permission to slow down, to feel before

233
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.240
you think, and to let the innate wisdom of your

234
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.679
inner authority guide your choices. In the context of human design,

235
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.679
this practice becomes even more powerful. Every line you draw,

236
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.559
every mirrored swirl or spontaneous curve, is like a conversation

237
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.679
with your deeper self. It's a moment of listening, truly

238
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.480
listening to the guidance that has always been there, quietly

239
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.320
waiting for you to tune in. Over time, this practice

240
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.480
doesn't just calm your mind. It trains you to trust

241
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.399
your own inner compass, helping you navigate life with a

242
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.159
confidence and clarity that feels effortless because it comes from

243
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.039
who you truly are. The beauty of bilateral drawing is

244
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.320
that you don't need fancy tools, a perfect studio, or

245
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.399
any prior art experience. All you need is a piece

246
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.720
of paper and something to draw within each hand. That's it.

247
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.840
The rest is just about giving yourself permission to play,

248
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:08.600
move and express. The shapes, lines, and doodles you create

249
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.000
don't have to look like anything correct or beautiful. In fact,

250
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:19.919
the more abstract and freeer movements, the better circles, waves, squiggles, zigzags,

251
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.000
or even little random scribbles, they all work. What matters

252
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.480
is not the outcome, but the process, the connection between

253
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.559
your hands, your brain, and your body. And now we're

254
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.879
going to explore this profoundly grounding practice. This isn't about

255
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.840
making perfect art or judging your abilities. It's about reconnecting

256
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.320
with your body, calming your mind, and listening to your

257
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.919
inner guidance. Give yourself permission to be fully present. This

258
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.559
is your time, your space, your moment. Step one, Settle

259
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.759
into your space. Sit comfortably and place a piece of

260
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.679
paper in front of you. Feel your feet grounded on

261
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.840
the floor, your spine and supported, your shoulders soft. Take

262
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.559
a deep, slow breath in and exhale fully. Let your

263
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:12.320
body begin to settle. Take another deep inhale and release.

264
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.360
Notice the weight of your body, the sensation of your seat,

265
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.759
the rhythm of your breath. Allow yourself to arrive here

266
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:27.200
in this moment. Step two prepare your tools. Pick up

267
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.759
a pen or pencil in each hand. You might feel

268
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.600
a little awkward at first, and that's perfectly normal. Your

269
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.159
brain isn't used to coordinating both hands at the same time,

270
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:40.399
and that's part of the magic. Trust the process. It's

271
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:45.559
not about perfection, it's about expression and connection. Step three

272
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:50.879
guided bilateral drawing. Now let's begin. Start moving your hands

273
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.879
on the paper. Let your motions flow naturally, circles, waves, loops,

274
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.559
jagged lines, anything that feels right. Don't overthink it. Let

275
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.480
your dominant hand lead if it wants, and notice what

276
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.039
your other hand does. Sometimes it will mirror, sometimes it

277
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.720
will create something completely different. That's perfect. Each stroke is

278
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.839
a conversation between your body and mind. As your hands move,

279
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.680
bring awareness to your breath. Notice the gentle rhythm of

280
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.799
your motions. Perhaps your shoulders begin to soften, your chest,

281
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:28.119
opens your fingers, relax. Let your mind step back and

282
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.279
allow your body to guide the movement. You may feel

283
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:35.880
sensations in your hands, arms, or even your spine. You

284
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:40.799
may notice emotions or thoughts arising. Simply observe. No need

285
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:45.200
to judge, no need to analyze, just notice. Step four,

286
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:50.440
Pause and reflect After five or ten minutes. Whatever feels right.

287
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.079
Gently put your pens down, close your eyes if it's comfortable,

288
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.680
Take a slow, nourishing breath. Bring attention to your body.

289
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.680
How do your shoulders feel now? Is your chest more open?

290
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.880
Are there subtle sensations in your hands or arms? Notice

291
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.599
your mind has it slowed down? Do your thoughts feel lighter?

292
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.920
Are your emotions clearer, calmer, or more balanced? This is

293
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.000
your nervous system recalibrating and your body communicating with you.

294
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.680
If you're exploring this through the lens of human design,

295
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.000
now is the perfect moment to tune into your inner authority,

296
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.440
that part of you that knows what's right for you

297
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.400
beyond the chatter of your mind. Bilateral drawing creates a

298
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.519
gentle space to feel it more clearly. If you have

299
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.119
a sacral authority, Your body's gut responses are your compass.

300
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.079
As you move your hands across the page, notice which strokes, shapes,

301
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.519
or rhythms feel like a natural yes or an energetic pull.

302
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.799
Perhaps certain lines feel satisfying, flowing, or alive, while others

303
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:59.079
feel heavy or blocked. Your sacral energy is speaking. Listen

304
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.759
to it without trying to rationalize or force anything. Each

305
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.079
movement that feels right is a small act of alignment

306
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.640
with your inner guidance. If you have an emotional authority,

307
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.000
your clarity comes through your emotional wave. During this drawing practice,

308
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.920
pay attention to which patterns evoke a sense of release, calm,

309
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.279
or expansion. Some shapes might bring tension, while others might

310
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:27.680
feel soothing, expansive, or deeply resonant. Notice the shifts in

311
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.839
your emotional state as your hands move. This is your

312
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.799
emotional authority helping you see what feels aligned and what doesn't,

313
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.240
offering insight in a subtle, felt way, rather than through logic.

314
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.680
For splenic authority, your body's intuitive, instinctual signals guide you

315
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.960
in the moment as you draw. Notice where your body

316
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.920
responds spontaneously. Perhaps a ligne feels instinctively right, or a

317
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.480
movement just flows without thought. Trust these subtle impulses. They

318
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.640
are your body's way of signaling what is safe, correct,

319
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.279
or in alignment. For other authorities, such as ego, self

320
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:09.000
or lunar. In the case of projectors or reflectors, you

321
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:12.200
can similarly observe how your energy responds to your movements.

322
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:17.359
Notice what feels energizing, empowering, or expansive and what feels

323
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.160
draining or heavy. The key is not to overthink it.

324
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.680
Don't try to control the outcome or judge the shapes. Instead,

325
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.160
stay present, curious, and open to how your body and

326
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.079
emotions respond. Each stroke of the pen becomes a conversation

327
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.480
between your hands, your mind, and your inner authority. Over time,

328
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.599
you begin to notice patterns and signals that can guide

329
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:44.319
your decisions and daily choices more clearly. By tuning in

330
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.119
this way, bilateral drawing becomes more than a creative exercise.

331
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.480
It becomes a tool to listen deeply to your body's wisdom,

332
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.960
honor your inner authority, and bring clarity to your mind

333
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:59.079
in a gentle, embodied way. Now that you've finished drawing,

334
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.279
take a moment to simply be with what you've created.

335
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.720
You don't need to judge it, analyze it, or give

336
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.880
it a label. The value isn't in the shapes or

337
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.720
lines themselves. It's in the experience, in the process, and

338
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.359
in the connection you've cultivated between your body, your mind,

339
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.359
and your intuition. Notice the subtle shifts in your body.

340
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.640
Perhaps your shoulders feel lighter, your chest more open, or

341
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.359
a sense of ease has settled into your hands or arms.

342
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.960
Notice your mind, maybe it feels calmer, quieter, or more

343
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:41.599
spacious than before. And notice your inner guidance, the gentle nudges, sensations,

344
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.720
or insights that may have emerged while your hands were

345
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.960
in motion. This simple act of bilateral drawing is more

346
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.400
than a creative exercise. It's a bridge, helping your inner

347
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.400
authority speak more clearly while your analytical mind steps back.

348
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.359
Take a few deep breaths here, allowing the experience to

349
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:05.279
sink in and integrate with each exhale. Imagine carrying this

350
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:09.440
sense of calm, clarity, and embodied awareness into the rest

351
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:13.519
of your day. This state is not temporary. It is

352
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.279
something your body knows how to access any time you

353
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:20.359
return to it when you feel ready, Slowly open your eyes.

354
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:25.759
Take in your surroundings with fresh attention. Notice the colors, textures,

355
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.640
and light around you. Notice the subtle changes within yourself.

356
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.680
Anytime your mind feels busy, scattered, or anxious, you can

357
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.680
return to your hands. You can draw, doodle, or move

358
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.480
freely and let your body guide your awareness back to

359
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.680
the present moment. This tool is always available. This practice

360
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.759
is yours to reclaim whenever you need grounding. Clarity or

361
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.119
a deeper connection with your inner wisdom. Even if it's

362
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.200
just for a few minutes a day, bilateral drawing is

363
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.200
a gentle invitation to reconnect with yourself, to slow the mind,

364
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.559
and to trust the guidance of your body. Each line

365
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.240
you draw is a conversation with yourself, a reminder that

366
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:12.039
clarity and calm are always within reach. Over time, regular

367
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.519
bilateral drawing can become a powerful ritual in your daily life.

368
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.160
It's more than just a creative exercise. It's a practice

369
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:23.839
that gently aligns your mind, body, and spirit. For you

370
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:28.839
face choices big or small. Bilateral drawing acts like a

371
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:32.839
mental reset. It slows down the chatter of overthinking and

372
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:36.920
allows your body's wisdom to emerge. You might notice subtle signals,

373
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.680
an instinctive pull in your gut, a calming shift in

374
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:45.039
your energy, a sudden clarity of thought. These are your

375
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.839
inner authority speaking, guiding you toward what feels right for you,

376
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.640
rather than what your mind thinks should be right. Life

377
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:57.759
throws tension at us constantly, deadlines expectations, or even internal

378
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.119
pressures we place on ourselves. By lateral drawing gives you

379
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:04.640
an immediate outlet. The simple act of moving your hands

380
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.599
in mirrored or complimentary motions, let's pent up stress flow

381
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.480
out of the body. You may feel your shoulders, soften,

382
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.480
your breath, deepen, your mind quiet. It's like giving yourself

383
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:20.240
permission to exhale without needing a reason. Over repeated practice,

384
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.160
this becomes more than a moment of calm. It becomes

385
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:28.799
a conversation with yourself. Each line, each swirl, each spontaneous

386
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.319
shape is an expression of your inner landscape. You start

387
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.559
noticing patterns, colors, or forms that repeat when you're anxious,

388
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.119
Shapes that emerge when you feel joyful, Movements that arise

389
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:43.759
when your body is aligned with your intuition. Bilateral drawing

390
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.640
teaches you to listen, not just look, to feel, not

391
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.319
just think. And here's the beauty of it. There's no

392
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.720
right or wrong. Every line, curve, or squiggle is a dialogue,

393
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.359
a meeting point where your mind, body, and spirit intersect.

394
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.119
There's freedom and imperfection, wisdom and spontaneity, and clarity in

395
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.039
simply allowing yourself to move. Over time, these doodles become

396
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.440
more than marks on paper. They become mirrors reflecting your

397
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:16.240
inner world, your guidance system, and your truth. So next

398
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.640
time your mind is racing, your body feels tense, or

399
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:21.880
you're facing a decision and don't know which way to go,

400
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.039
grab two pens and just start. Let your hands talk,

401
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.319
let your body guide you. Listen to the whispers of

402
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:33.279
your inner authority. It knows more than you think. Thank

403
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:35.759
you for joining me on this episode. I hope you

404
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.319
feel inspired to pick up your pens and draw your

405
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.839
calm until next time. Keep exploring, keep listening, and keep

406
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:44.839
honoring the wisdom of your body.
