Healing Artist Sketches of Early Years

The spiritual journey has been continuing with new discoveries every day!

My early years after doing Reiki were very confusing and hard for me as I did not understand why I painted and what I painted. The influences though spiritual were often so different from what people would relate to me, and opposite of my nature. I had the feeling that I was connected to my guides and as the years went by now I am very confident that I have not chosen art, art chose me!



One of the most strong influence which transferred into a series of sketches was about the Mira bai, the spiritual music and the eternal love all these emotions led to the beautiful sketches on mira bai eternal,  a series of sketches among the many sketches done in my early years, in 2001.

Pen Sketch by Rizwana Mundewadi

 Revisiting the early memories and the strong spiritual influences , the times when I painted like wild and I still do, without stopping for food, sleep and the energy has to be transferred on to my artworks, my hands would pain, become numb but I continued to paint ...and I still do painting with the same passion.

Series of Sketches in my early years

 Series on Mira Bai happened after I did Music Flowing on Canvas and adding more to the original artwork came about doing quiet a number of pen sketches on Mira Bai and her eternal love.

Pen Sketch Series Mira Bai Eternal by Rizwana

Sketches form an important part of every artists' work. Sketches have made me follow my instinct of spiritual paintings without thinking and this practice to open up my chakras was essential for my spiritual progress. As an artist i needed to break the blocks coming up in my creative process and as every artist doodles and scribbles I did sketches like wild!
These sketches are done on A4 size white paper and done using pen, whereas my other sketches are done using pencils, crayons and of course later on brush and paint. There was a time when I though of painting using only black colour and the white background looked beautiful. the lines and images would come up on the paper and since my lines usually did not have any meaning then, for me, though now I do understand everything was for a purpose, I did a number of sketches and en drawings. But colours could not be left and I realized I enjoyed using bright colours and that too thick and laden on the brush, without the brush, and this led me to do abstracts which were done with the same passion as I have more than 1000 paintings done using direct paint form the tube on paper.

Eight Auspicious Symbols - Ashtamangala Described, Golden Pot of Treasures Painting

Golden Pot of treasures, Good Luck Painting

The eight auspicious symbols commonly known as Ashtamangala in Buddhist culture is very often seen in old artworks and paintings. These eight symbols are very powerful and believed to bring in lots of prosperity and good luck.
My obsession with pots and as they are an very important part of my paintings I have used the most famous good luck symbols in this artwork that is done on oil sketch paper using oil and acrylic paints.
The Dhungkar or the White conch symbolizes the awakening of the sentient being from the sleeping state of ignorance and I have used this conch symbol in many of my healing artworks.
The Bhumpa is one of my favorite symbols used in making helping paintings as this symbolizes a vase of inexhaustible treasures. Hanging this healing painting will welcome good prosperity and wealth in ones life and as the name symbolizes the vase of inexhaustible treasures.
Another symbol is Dug which signifies the shade under which one is protected from the scorching heat and problems of thsi life and world. It is used as a powerful symbol for protection.
The Palbheu or the mystic knot is a famous symbol used by many cultures to symbolize harmony and unending life resources. The good fortune of complimenting every aspect of your life the endless knot is merged and intertwined with each other and is very difficult to paint.
Another symbols from the eight auspicious symbols is Gyaltsen, the Victorious Banner which is seen in many Buddhist paintings and flags. the symbol assures Victory and is used to symbolize victory of bad over evil.
Many evil forces block and obstruct the success and this symbol is used to overcome this negative energy and invite positive luck.

Pema or the beautiful lotus which is seen in many Buddhist paintings and is also seen in many of my healing paintings is a universal symbol for peace and luck. It is the ultimate symbol for enlightenment and achieving the ultimate in spirituality. This is the symbol for non attachment, how this feeling is great when you are not attached to anything and feel freedom to invite grace to offer you, you are a mere spectator , an actor who just has to act and this feeling is of great achievement, the feeling of non attachment, of not being responsible for everything. This is just what we advice in reiki, to let go of all attachments and free yourself of the guilt of not being responsible for everything and anything! There is a super power who is controlling everything and you are not the center of everything. Trust me this feeling is awesome. The image of lotus in most Buddhist  artworks is not painted as our lotus flower because this flower does not grow in Tibet and the people have modified the image according to make it decorative.
This healing painting has another auspicious symbol here which is the Wheel of Dharma. The Choekyi Khoreo or the Wheel of Dharma. Using these symbols in single , in pairs and also all the eight auspicious symbols together I have made healing paintings that when hung on any wall will continue giving healing for your whole life. Healing is not limited to any one person or any one situation and can heal just anyone and everyone.
The Sernya or the two Golden Fishes is also a symbol that is frequently used by healing and feng shui artists. In feng shui fishes swimming gracefully are a sure sign to welcome prosperity and good luck. painting depicting fishes swimming is considered to be very lucky and hanging such paintings in the north will invite career luck and money luck into your life. It indicates the power to swim in this ocean of life without any hindrance or blockages.

Ashtamangala Painting

These eight auspicious symbols have been judiciously used in this painting and my favorite pots, this is a large pot, of treasures. This healing painting is done on oil sketch paper using oil paints and acrylic . 27x20.5 Inches and done in year 2009. Golden symbols have more power and I have used the colour gold to highlight and make the symbols more powerful.

Magnification of Energy

Golden colour immediately transforms the artwork into a unique and rich textured artwork, and the use of golden colour increases the power of the symbols.

All the Best from Rizwana!

In the Tibetan culture lotus is of utmost spiritual significance and as the lotus flower does not grow in Tibet the people have modifications and decorative forms of this flower in their artworks and carvings.  Reiki also lays a lot of importance on Lotus as the flower emerges from deep muddy soil.

Painterly Style Spiritual painting

The Most Delicious Spiritual Fruit- Painting by Rizwana M

Trying out different painting styles over the years this painting 'The Most Delicious Spiritual Fruit' is done in painterly style in the year 2007. The brush was loaded with paint directly and laid in strokes over oil sketch paper. The paint has piled up and I know it takes much much longer for my paintings to dry due to layers of paints. This painting along with few other artworks have been done in painterly style. The joy of painting this was in the theme of very famous artworks was to enjoy the taste, feel and experience of eating the most delicious spiritual fruit.
The colours selected were my favorite ones of french Ultramarine blue, shades of brown and turquoise, the spiritual colour. The theme I know has been dabbled by many artists and this painting is not a copy and it just happened.I can never copy or get influenced by any artwork and I know this is working in both ways, I do only original artworks , but the down side is I never get to open up to learn from others.
Spiritual colours are always seen in many paintings and I have selected brown for grounding in this artwork. Thus creating a balance between heaven and earth and enjoying the most delicious spiritual fruit.
Sometimes I wonder my spirit guides are making me do this by guiding my hands as I really do not remember the choice of paints and colors when I am so involved in the artwork, and only when I finish do I take a look at the final painting.
I also do make the intentions of making a good artwork before beginning to allow my guides to paint through me. Being an healing artist Symbols come up and I have to try hard not to paint symbols every where.When my painting does not have a symbol , it is understood that I have consciously avoided to involve them in some paintings.
The same style is also seen in another painting done ' The Garden Gate' and ' The Fountain of Youth'.

Lessons from an Healing Artist

Double Abundance - Symbolic painting by Rizwana

 A symbolic painting is just what come up whenever I sit to paint. The paintings put up in this post are done in the years 2009 and earlier.

Colour Therapy Cold Fire Painting for healing

 Colours can be used effectively for healing and colour therapy is just that. The cold fire in Reiki therapy is used to purify and negativity in form of energy in your home or office as well as your mind. The cold fire will cleanse any negative energy and transform the place or person into attracting positive energy. The painting can be hung in home or office for best healing results from colour therapy.

Charmed Possessions by Rizwana Healing Artist

 One of my favorite paintings and NOT for sale 'Charmed Possessions' is a beautiful painting done on canvas. The colours flow into one another and the golden symbols bring a three dimensional view to this artwork.

Sacred Geometry Painting

Abstract Geometric painting by Rizwana

My small paintings done in the early years of 2000 and 2005 have many geometric shapes. One f the artworks that had received very good comments and I tried my hand in making the same piece on a larger oil sketch paper. The painting can never be copied, not even by me and however much hard I tried to make the same piece I just couldn't!
lesson number one- each painting is unique.So put your maximum for the one painting that is in your hand.
Lesson number two- never try to copy any artwork as I can't, (though there are some fake artist who do just that, wonder if they would have painted their originals they would have made an identity till now!)S I have left the idea of going through old paintings for inspiration and each new painting is always different from my other works.
Lesson three- Paint what you love and what comes easily. Trying my hand on making fine art paintings has led me to some frustration and I have left the desire to make fine art. Let my art be as I am with my symbols and my abstraction! more complex than it seem and still more beautiful!
Lesson Four- Only painting is not enough. I need to sell my artworks for a career in art. Selling a part of me, my soul is put up in each painting, still the fact and truth is that we artists cannot hoard our paintings forever. These artworks when heal others will give me more happiness than I can imagine. Just the though that a part of me will be in many other homes or offices, is great! Share your art.
Lesson Five- keep learning. Do not stand still. Movement is necessary for progress. This is the most important lesson from my life and I have always kept the struggle for identity on. Keeping the art and artist alive with all the pressures and limitations is the best part of my artist journey.
Symbols have come after I have painted lines for years and years. People viewing lines would think they are monotonous and even I was confused with this souls longing for making lines. The lines have transformed into shapes giving meanings to my art. healing and feng shui paintings are my latest artworks and still I do not know how my artist journey will progress. When a new idea will come up and new artworks with loads of energy and love. Healing art is for life and my Reiki paintings with karma symbols heal the past, present and future. The thrill, the excitement with each new artwork and the enthusiasm of each new colorful idea for painting is all that keeps me alive!

Symbolic Paintings of Pots by Healing Artist

 Pots have been my favourite since the beginning years and are still however much I try to avoid painting pots they come up some how. Pots and vases represent fertility, abundance and unlimited potential for growth. As pots were used in ancient days for storing grains, food items and jewellery as well as gold coins and money they represent abundance and prosperity.

Dimensions - Painting on Canvas by Rizwana Mundewadi

 Dimensions is one of my old paintings which on working and reworking has come up to this art.This was my first break through towards partial abstraction from total abstraction. The layering technique and laying paint one above the other was a refreshing technique which I enjoyed working at and there are many paintings which I have painted in this style since the past decade.

Tranquil Within -Painting on Canvas by Rizwana Mundewadi

 Tranquil within is a form of mandala painting which has confidently come up during my early years of painting. Going back to all these artworks has made my belief in God and the total universe stronger, and of course the belief that there is a place for everyone in this universe however small they be or big.

Cracked Pots By Rizwana Mundewadi

Still Life on paper by Rizwana Mundewadi

 The cracked pots came up when I was totally inspired to understand human beings as imperfect. There is beauty in imperfection and it is ok to be not perfect in everything. I could cry, laugh out loud and be just me, There are no rules and there is no limits to my paintings and what I paint.

Blessings by Rizwana Mundewadi

 water one of the most powerful symbols of abundance has been in my artworks since the beginning and 'happy spaces' came up in year 2000. The flowing water has fascinated me for years though now I have moved to earth and mountains and present state is of strong element metal.

Reiki Energy for Improving Health and Self Image

Spiritual Gateway by Rizwana Mundewadi

There are many misconceptions about Reiki and hence I have seen people shy away from alternative healing therapies. Yes there are many fake healers who abuse this therapy hence right information and knowledge about this beautiful energy healing technique is essential. Reiki energy is only positive energy and it can only heal and protect. Any negative intentions or thoughts or involvement of any sort by the healer will accumulate bad karma for the healer.Any karmic conditions cannot be changed with reiki, they can be healed and hence there is no unethical energy transfer.

Universal Love by healing Artist rizwana

Reiki works in a positive way always irrespective of the channel or the healee.Reiki will give what is good for you and desired for your well being. If your wish is inappropriate Reiki will free you of this desire.A Reiki Master will use symbols to heal the present, past and future. Reiki symbols are very powerful tools which are used appropriately by a healer to increase the power of healing.
The main chakra that requires healing in many cases is the solar plexus or the third chakra located above the naval.The front and back of your body has chakras which are energy centres that will absorb energy from the universe and supply it to your body and soul. When there are blocks in any of these chakras then problems in health and emotional problems are seen. Envy, greed, jealousy are negative emotions and can be healed by using Reiki. These chakra problems are manifested in from of acidity, liver problems,  and kidney problems. Similarly problems with heart chakra will make the person angry, irritable, always restless and everybody will avoid company of such a person. An experienced Reiki master will locate the exact problem with respective chakra and try to heal this with coloured light or energy. It is a ritual for reiki masters to advice you to take a glass of water after any healing session and even after any Reiki centering and exercises I still follow this ritual for purification and cleansing.

Cold Fire Painting

A highly experienced Reiki master can also perform psychic surgery which is a very powerful method to heal very chronic problems of any organ.I am not so evolved in these methods and follow my guides in any treatment session. I have seen that many problems can be healed easily by using Reiki symbols on body, on objects, on animals and pets and in fact Reiki energy can be used for any purpose which is for good.But I have reached this stage where only my intentions start giving results.
One important point for improving your self image and thinking is to locate your soul seat. This energy centre is located above your heart and below your throat. The color of this soul seat is purple. The main body energy centre is located at the naval called the Tan Tien point. This is a coloured golden ball on the area below your stomach. usually we see people tend to put on weight near the stomach and hence there is energy blockage in this chakra which leads to many health problems and sometimes even very serious chronic diseases.
Exercise for health- Hold one hand above your heart and the other pointing downwards on your naval. Imagine energy coming into your body from heaven and earth. Imagine energy coming from a hot lava below the surface of the earth and your Tan Tien point is glowing like a hot and red ball.

Kundalini Painting by Rizwana Mundewadi

Above the soul seat is purple blue and is glowing like a shining star. The centre of your body , your stomach area imagine a big colourful star , your core star is shining in the whole universe. Try to link this core star with white light to a big star in the universe. Have  a positive intentions conversation with your self daily for good results.
Let me end with the Reiki principles-
Be healthy with reiki.
Just for today do not worry
Just for today do not anger
Honour your parents, teachers and elders
Earn your living honestly
Show attitude of gratitude to everyone.
