The Algorithm for Removing Constraints

My two friends and I had just attended a free Neurographica introduction class, and I experienced an immediate shift. Curious to learn more, we enrolled in the Basic User Course — and I’m so glad we did.

Alina’s calm, methodical teaching makes the course easy to follow, even when the drawings are personally challenging. After each exercise, I feel a release of tension and anxiety, leaving me more joyful and tranquil. As I practiced, I learned to let go of my inner doubts and resistance; the drawings became effortless, transforming chaotic lines into something unexpectedly beautiful.

The platform is easy to navigate, the video speed is adjustable, and the assignment reviews are thoughtful and encouraging. Alina’s generosity, sincerity, and nurturing support — including the Facebook group and access to all course materials — made the experience truly special.

Taking the course virtually with my friends added another layer of connection. It was fun, supportive, and surprisingly social, strengthening our bond while exploring Neurographica together. I highly recommend taking the course with a friend or loved one — it’s insightful, enjoyable, and transformative.

NeuroAtom Drawing

I recently completed the Basic User Course, and it was much more meaningful than I expected. When I enrolled at the last minute, my goal was simply to learn about Neurographica as added knowledge. However, it became a true eye-opener — even life-changing. My goal was exceeded as Neurographica became part of my life for both mindfulness and creativity, especially as an intuitive abstract painter and neurographic art hobbyist.

Interestingly, years before I knew this paradigm, I was already using one key Neurographica step — conjoining — in my artwork without realizing it!

The inclusion of the NeuroAtom technique in our final assignment was more than a bonus. It resonated deeply with me for two reasons: first, it brought back wonderful memories from my chemistry background years ago; second, I found it to be a versatile and powerful tool. It’s a beautiful concept that invites us to extend our intentions beyond ourselves into the world.

I’m grateful to my instructor, Alina, for her engaging teaching style, passion for the subject, and constructive, encouraging feedback. Neurographica has reinforced my ability to shift focus inward and embrace self-reflection. It’s not only therapeutic for my healing journey but also transformative — bringing positive change and personal growth.

The process allows me to acknowledge my feelings every step of the way and learn from them. The self-reflection on my needs, desires, and patterns has been profound. I can no longer imagine life before discovering this practice.

The Algorithm for Removing Inner Constraints

How did you discover NeuroGraphica?
A friend of mine is a NeuroGraphica instructor, and about five years ago, I joined two of her group classes. Honestly, I didn’t notice or feel much back then, so it didn’t really capture my interest.

What brought you back to it?
The idea of NeuroGraphica started flowing back into my life a couple of months ago, so I began exploring it again. This time, there were more instructors to choose from, and I resonated with Alina and her background.

How has NeuroGraphica helped you?
For me, the effects of NeuroGraphica don’t show up during the act of drawing but afterward. I set an intention, and the drawing becomes a meditation. I rarely feel resistance—if I looked for it and didn’t find any, I simply flowed back into the process.
What’s fascinating is that the resolutions and insights often appear in my dreams the same night. That’s what kept me going! Writing about my feelings during the drawing was hard because the real transformation happened later, while I slept.

What was your experience learning with Alina Smolyansky?
I really enjoy Alina’s way of explaining things. Being Asian, I’m used to very intense criticism as a way to improve—Alina is the exact opposite: gentle and encouraging! That was such a refreshing experience. 🤣

Would you recommend NeuroGraphica?
Absolutely. In fact, I took the Basic Course with two friends—we coordinated over Zoom—and I’ve also recommended it to an artist friend. My advice? Don’t come in with rigid expectations. Let the process unfold. For me, the magic wasn’t in the drawing itself but in how it found a way to express me—even in my dreams.
