Zentangle, NeuroGraphica® and The AM Method™: What’s the Difference?
Sep 12, 2025
If you’ve been exploring the world of Neuro Arts, you’ve probably come across different methods: Zentangle, NeuroGraphica®, and now The AM Method™ as described in the #1 Hot New Release on Amazon -The Art of Manifesting by Colette Baron-Reid with Anna Denning.
Each of these practices is beautiful in its own way, but although they all use shapes, wavy lines and circles they mean different things and they’re not the same. Today I want to share how they differ, and why The AM Method™ holds such a unique place in the art of manifesting.
Zentangle: Calm Through Pattern
The Zentangle Method, created by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, is a mindful way of creating beautiful, intricate patterns with just a few simple strokes. By repeating dots, lines, and curves, you enter a soothing flow state.
Zentangle is like a drawing meditation, inviting calm, mindfulness and relaxation.
NeuroGraphica: Change Through Resistance
NeuroGraphica®, developed by Professor Pavel Piskarev, is a science based transformational art method used for self-coaching and personal growth.
Its distinctive NeuroGraphic line flows unpredictably, it is drawn with resistance. That resistance helps us break free and rewire our thinking. It’s an active, sometimes challenging process, designed to spark breakthroughs and transformation.
The AM Method™: Manifestation Through Synchronicity
The AM Method™, which we created with Colette Baron-Reid, is something different again. Where Zentangle brings calm and NeuroGraphica provokes change, the AM Method opens a dialogue with the Universe.
It’s more intuitive, fluid and feminine in nature. Instead of pushing against resistance, we follow frequency lines - the lines of least resistance. These wavy lines depict the broadcasting and receiving of our energetic connection with the conscious universe! Just imagine a seed sending roots where the soil is softest, tree branches stretching toward the light or a river flowing to the sea along the path the lands provides. The AM Method works in the same way, following the rules of nature and tracing our interconnectedness with Spirit and all that is.
This method is about intentional synchronicity. Every doodle, every drawing is a co-creation with Spirit. With pen and paper, you’re not only shaping lines - you’re shaping your future and calling in your destiny.
And it’s meant to be done with Ease, Peace and Joy. (And sometimes glitter!)
Three Paths, Three Outcomes:
- Zentangle relaxes.
- NeuroGraphica transforms.
- The AM Method™ manifests.
Each one is powerful. But if you feel called to align your desires with the creative intelligence of the Universe, The AM Method™ is your pathway. Every drawing becomes a prayer and an invitation for synchronicity.
