What Do Our Doodles Mean? 5 More Ideas for Doodling
Yesterday in our “What Can Doodling Do for You?” post I talked about the Nazca Lines having a greater purpose and meaning something more. This brought up questions for a lot of people: What do my doodles mean? Do they mean something deeper? If I doodle a lot, is there something wrong with me, or …

What is a Moving Meditation and How Do You Do It?
