HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Andrew Lichtenberger ?

I’m not generally much into big birthday celebrations, but I do like taking meaningful actions that I’ll remember. Last time my family went out for a nice meal, and today I spent time working on finishing my second book (more to come on this soon). I also took some time to draw what I’ve heard described as “sacred circuitry”. The idea seems to be that these symbols are representative of the actions associated (written below them). They also seem to have a story boarding element to them, as they themselves expand and grow from 1-15. The recommendation associated is to meditate on them each for 1 minute a day, 3 days in a row, going in order - and then let your creativity take over and guide you if so desired. I’ll be giving it a go over the next few days myself. What do you think about this? Has anyone heard of it before and if so any experiences working with these symbols?

I recently wrote an e-mail about this concept of the 52nd hexagram in the i-Ching is it relates to my last name, Lichtenberger, and the nature of the mountain. This is a fun creative picture I drew in association with this topic. If anyone else is much into drawing here - feel free to share!

Years ago, during a particularly challenging time in my life, I sought advice from many people. I was seeking inspiration and clarity, as I often take time to absorb different perspectives when I’m at a turning point before I proceed in my life. One conversation with a friend led to them recommending me a book, “How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day” by Michael J. Gelb. In that book, I learned many things that still inspire me to this day. One such thing, the idea of “mind mapping”, and I have continuously returned to this creative and imaginative activity over the years. Recently, during a thunderstorm, kept dry in my backyard on the patio, I got inspired once again to create a mind map. I figured it was a good thing to share to possibly inspire others as well. Enjoy 🧙‍♂️

Glad to be here Chewy! Taping into intuition has always been part of poker I have been open to and interested in. I think learning to tune into that has helped with live reads for sure but just find it interesting in general!
