Mendhi Project Part 2: Reflections

It is really important to me that I journal reflections about my experiences. In going over these I have noticed that I do not remember what I would have liked so I plan to do this with more frequency.





Zeek was my first victim. I got the message for a lot of fire and arrows and expansiveness. It was a nice experience. We sat in the sun by the beach. May 11. I received the message, "One Eye Open, One Eye Closed."

Later that day I did Gary's hand. He is much more sensitive and the drawing came out more dreamy and expressive. Some sort of fish that is also a submarine.

Josephine's wrist was an interesting experience. I felt like her body was asking me to lay the lines down in a particular way. When I was halfway done, she exclaimed, "Gosh Dre, it looks like one of MY drawings." Her body was pretty specific.

Carly's ankle was the start of my experiences being more prayerful. As I worked we didn't really talk, and my prayer at the beginning was powerful. I felt her spirit guides as well as mine. I noticed particularly that some things that I wanted to do I was asked not to do. I was asked to leave the design open. The big flower on the ankle is looking over the little flowers and that was important for some reason. She is either the large flower herself or being looked out for by this 'big mama' flower (that's what it is called) or both.

Renee's experience was interesting because I don't know her as well. The design started out more quaint and ended up being rather psychedelic.

Ellen, who is one of my closest friends. I thought the design would be crazy but the body asked for something traditionalish. I was also asked to write "Ma".

The experience with Nicole was intense. Her body literally displayed the line for me and all I did was trace it. She told me she asked her body for clarity. As I did this one my whole body was lit up and vibrating. We worked on her right (masculine) side. I am very interested in healing the masculine in order to heal the feminine. The act of creating this was very methodical and focused.

I worked around Jasmine's tattoo. Again, the skin showed me what to do. The patterns were so different. The speed as well. The creation was more frantic.
