now its time for Paintings That Heal™
by Brent Atwater
Medical Intuitive, Healer, Artist and Author
As a professional artist for over 20 years, I licensed artwork
to the leading manufacturers: Neiman Marcus, JC Penney's,
Orvis, and all the golf designs and wallpaper borders you
can imagine. Bet you've seen my magnolias. The more successful
the designs became the less I wanted to design those collections.
I was tired! I wanted to paint from my heart.
April 1997, my best friend of 6 years who was also my fiance
was killed before we were married. My creativity ceased! His
death activated all of my "remembering" and awakened
the other "gifts" that I had contracted to use in
this incarnation. Since then I have worked as an international
and documented Medical Intuitive and Healer. The only time
I painted was to help my soul get thru times of endless minutes.
In the 8th year following his death, something inside of
me was stirring. It was time to paint again. However, I could
never go back to the controlled collections and designs. As
the Universe would have it, I had lunch with a friend who
needed a cover for the University of North Carolina's Center
for Functional GI & Motility Disorder's annual report.
The commission was to create a painting representing Irritable
Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Now let me tell you, this was NOT my
idea of a Painting! However, the idea was SO far fetched,
(to paint a disorder or disease), that I thought, oh, why
not!? It was NOTHING I had ever created before!
How to approach this???????? I decided to pretend the canvas
was "the Person". So I said my prayer as I always
do before a session, and then started to work. As a medical
intuitive I determined what that disease looked like and once
I started painting, the exact colors and patterns were given
to me.......Hmm ,interesting I thought. I painted until I
was told by my guidance to stop.
In the following days as the Painting sat drying for its
presentation, my guidance said "you're not finished".
Startled, I ask, what's left to do? My guidance quickly replied,
"paint the Healing Energies to heal the disorder"...
and where am I to do this... "over the first layer"
my guides stated...so I figured why not! I'll give it a try.
Later that month a friend who is a doctor suggested that
we test the IBS Painting to see if it radiated scientifically
measurable energy. I said why not? Being a pioneer in having
the Healing Energies and Healing benefits of my Paintings
scientifically and alternatively documented was really a leap
of faith and trust in the Universe.
In our initial double blind studies using traditional scientific
Biofeedback we documented that in as little time as 5 seconds
of exposure to a Painting's Healing Energies, positive changes
occur in the viewer's physical energy fields. Then we tested
over 100 more people before and after their exposure to the
Paintings with 2 more systems:
1. State of the art Gas Discharge Visualization Cameras, used
by major medical research centers. The GDV Camera utilizes
state-of-the-art optical technology to photograph an individual's
energy fields through image sensors that read energy levels
from an individual's fingertips.
2.HeartMath system (used by many Fortune 500 companies and
by various departments of the federal government), is an interactive
computer-based heart rate variability monitor and real-time
pulse wave recording that gives a scientific measure of your
physiological readings.
These scientific and alternative technologies recorded that
positive changes occur in a viewer’s heart waves (HRV),
respiration rates, body temperature and brain waves (EEG)
and other vital signs. Changes also occur in their subtle
energy fields. We also collected video testimonials to accompany
the documentation. So these Paintings That Heal™, Literally
Heal! Isn't the Universe awesome! You're invited to see examples
of selected before and after viewer printouts at www.PaintingsthatHeal.com
under testimonials.
We also discovered that not only were they a healing tool,
but the Paintings could also be used as a diagnostic tool.
Findings continue to confirm that people respond to a specific
Painting which represents a disorder or issue that was either
in their past, or is presently or potentially in their physical
body or energy field or in the energy filed of someone very
close to them. Some people with multiple diseases or disorders
are affected by several of the Paintings. We invite you to
go to our website and see which ones resonate with you.
Why do these work? Each light ray consists of colors that
have different wavelengths and vibrational frequencies that
affect your mind, cells, and body chemicals differently. By
receiving color, texture and image information through our
eyes, their frequencies communicate to our brain to direct
the various bodily functions to respond accordingly. Not only
are you what you think, your visual input matters too! Color,
texture and pattern energies and vibrational input are constantly
working on your cellular and subtle energy bodies at an unconscious
level.
The principle of dress for success, painting your environment
(home and workplace) and decorating an environment to promote
well being, all lend credibility to the fact that subliminal
visual input effects and affects all of your health systems.
Then add channeled and directed essential Healing Energies
into each canvas that I use to facilitate healing in my clients,
and you get a Painting that Heals™. The combination
of essential Healing Energies, mixed with the vibrational
frequencies of the artwork, all activate physical healing
responses in the viewer's body.
What are the benefits of Paintings That Heal™? While
some of the Paintings are beautiful, others are not. They
all are a Healing Energies "generator" addressing
specific needs, and are physically non invasive. They assist
and amplify other healing treatments, procedures and prescriptions,
and they facilitate ongoing and continuous positive energies
and Healing benefits in the environment. These are particularly
supportive for children, the elderly, and those in critical,
chronic, degenerative, or delicate health situations. To maximize
the healing assets of a studio Painting or one that is created
just for your needs, it should be placed in a location where
you will receive optimum ongoing exposure to the Healing Energies
on a daily basis. Once the Painting's energies become part
of an environment, an individual continually benefits from
it energetically by means of harmonic resonance. A person's
own energy field will regulate the appropriate amounts of
energy that they receive on an ongoing basis. You can not
be overexposed.
What can individual expect when they are exposed to a Painting?
At present, there are no specific guarantees regarding a fixed
timeframe, and specific healing properties of Paintings That
Heal™. Research results vary with individual situations.
We are able to document definite positive changes in an individual's
bio energetic fields, and in their symptoms. With those given
results, we hope, to generate more interest in expanding our
long term research program for Paintings That Heal™.
Are Paintings That Heal™ the same as art therapy? No,
just being in the presence of the combination of energies
in a Painting is what actually alters and heals the viewer's
physical and energetic body. In contrast, the healing response
in art therapy is generated by the patient making a piece
of artwork. Art therapy work is not infused with channeled
Healing Energies.
What does the future hold for these Paintings? We believe
that Paintings That Heal™ will have multiple applications,
from therapeutic uses such as screen savers (a client on meds
for anxiety attacks, used his Painting as his computer's screen
saver, and was able to reduce and later remove his meds) to
medical and healthcare healing decor and public murals. We
envision "get well" cards that actually create health!
Imagine prints and posters in nursing homes that create a
positive atmosphere, or artwork that soothes in hotels, and
waiting rooms, or a deck of cards that facilitates a healthier
physical body for the user. The Paintings' uses are almost
endless. Wherever there is artwork or a design, or a surface
to be painted, the potential for healing is available.
In 1987 I created the Just Plain Love™ Charitable Trust
to benefit children and other worthwhile causes, as my way
of parenting, giving back, and running "carpool"
since I was unable to have children. I am in the process of
publishing Just Plain Love™ Children's Healing Books
( http://www.brentatwater.com) that contain illustrations
infused with the same Healing Energies that are in the Paintings.
These children's healing books are my contribution to parenting
during sensitive times dealing with delicate life issues.
We still continue to test and gather research about the Healing
Energies in the Paintings and children's books. Amazingly,
over a year later, the Irritable Bowel Painting still retains
the same powerful Healing Energies, and continues to be a
source of healing on a deep cellular memory level for those
battling this disorder..... "I want my art to DO good,
as well as BE good!!!" So when I ask my guides, how do
I use my gifts to serve in the future, They say, "combine
all your gifts into your art and writings ...... it's time
for Paintings That Heal™"
