February 15, 2005 - Paintings That Heal are original paintings created by Brent Atwater, a medical intuitive and healer, that eminate Healing Energy which activates physical healing for
those with health issues and disorders. They are demonstrating the valuable role that artwork can play in enhancing the healing process, and are creating evidence based art healing
modalities that encourage and support further research and investigation into the beneficial effects of artwork used in healthcare and healthcare environments
The efficacy of the healing benefits of Paintings That Heal are scientifically and alternatively documented. This artwork has Healing Energy that actually changes the physical, mental and
emotional energy fields of the viewer. Being in the presence of the energy of a Painting That Heals is what alters and heals both the viewer's physical and energetic body. The ART of
healing is being taken to a new level. see at http://www.PaintingsthatHeal.com
Preliminary research in pre and post exposure to the Paintings That Heal indicates that there is a strong potential for this artwork to aid healing in individuals and in the healthcare
community. We are continuing our documentation and gathering evidence based results and welcome opportunities to research this further.
Why do these work The canvas is infused with the same healing energy that I use to facilitate healing in my clients. Additionally I channel the patterns and colors that I am instructed to
use. The combination of healing energy, the vibrational frequencies of the colors, and the specific patterns all activate the physical healing response in the body.
Initial double blind studies using Biofeedback, state of the art Gas Discharge Visualization Cameras, and the HeartMath system (used by many Fortune 500 companies and by various
departments of the federal government), document that in as little as 5 seconds of exposure to the energy of an individual Painting for positive changes to occur in a subject's heart
waves (HRV), respiration rates, body temperature and brain waves (EEG). Changes also occur in their bioenergetic or subtle energy fields. Video testimonials accompany the
documentation.
As a diagnostic tool, findings indicate people respond to a specific Painting which represents a disorder or issue that is either presently or potentially in their physical body or energy
field. Some people who had multiple diseases or disorders were affected by several of the Paintings.
Paintings That Heal are created or commissioned to address an individual's or an environmental healing need.
Brent Atwater the creator, is a documented medical intuitive, healer and renowned artist, whose artwork was the subject of PBS national program. At age 16 one of her paintings was chosen
for the NC Museum of Art's permanent collection. She now combines all of her gifts into her Paintings That Heal.
Are Paintings That Heal the same as art therapy No, just being in the presence of the energy of 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. According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy is based on the belief
that the creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life enhancing. Through creating art, talking about art, and the process of making art with an art therapist, one
can increase awareness of self, cope with symptoms, stress, and traumatic experiences, enhance cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of artistic creativity.
Over the last thirty years, research indicates the cells of the body communicate via "light" which is made up of many colors. At Kaiserleutern University in Europe, Fritz Popp discovered
that cells in the body communicate with each other using small particles of colored light called photons, suggesting the concept that the language of physical cells is colored light. In
Nowosibirsk, Russia, the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine scientists have proven that the body's energy meridians are affected by colors and can conduct those colors
throughout the body via "light" for healing. Peter Mandel from the Mandel Institute of Esogetic Medicine, Germany, created a healing modality called Colorpuncture on this principle. In
our research, the bioenergetic conditions recorded in the GVD photos corresponded to the symptoms our viewers were presenting pre exposure to the Paintings. After viewing the Paintings,
the post GVD images of colors and energy patterns, substantiated the scientific principles embodied in the electromagnetic field that the Painting's color energy positively affected the
physical conditions that were presented. All regulatory authorities usually demand a reasonable amount of scientific proof for claims that the Painting will exert the expected
physiological effect in the condition presented. We believe that the GVD imaging and the other methods we used will be some of the methods of choice for obtaining such data.
Although research has yet to be conducted in a clinically controlled environment, scientific and alternative methods used to document and verify results with these Paintings are
traditional Biofeedback and cutting edge QXCI: Quantum Xeroid Consciousness Interface. We also use Vocal Emission Analysis, a computer program reflecting subtle energy imbalances in the
body, as another recording device.
The GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) Camera was developed by Dr. Konstantin G. Korotkov, Ph.D. of Russia's St. Petersburg State Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics. It is the first
device in the world which measures the distribution of energy around a human body. This documenting technique has evolved from extensive research conducted by Russian scientists through
the years. There are approximately 400 cameras in use worldwide and most are used to do research work. 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.
The HeartMath System is a product of the Institute of HeartMath, whose primary mission is to assist people in finding the balance between their mind and heart in making life decisions.
HeartMath's Freeze-Framer is an interactive computer-based heart rate variability monitor and real-time pulse wave recording that gives a scientific measure of your physiological
readings.
To date, there are only a handful of distance healers around the world that have demonstrated the ability to channel, capture, and infuse Healing Energy into the canvas. Brent first
discovered the powerful phenomenon of Paintings That Heal in March 2004 while creating a commissioned work, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), for the cover of the University of North
Carolina Center for Functional GI & Motility Disorder's annual report. Her client asked her to paint a picture of the disorder. When finished, she was inspired to channel the Healing
Energy for IBS into another layer of the painting which she placed on top of the original image. Amazingly, the Painting retained the same powerful Healing Energy, and continues to be a
source of healing on a deep cellular memory level for those battling this disorder.
To maximize the benefits of a Painting, it should be placed where one will receive optimum ongoing exposure to the Healing Energy on a daily basis. Once the Painting becomes 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.
Many of Brent's clients wanted "something" to reinforce their healing path. She takes the discovery she made with her IBS Painting and uses it to create Paintings for her client's. Today,
Paintings That Heal are a part of her healing practice portfolio that complements and integrates with both traditional medical and alternative healthcare practices and procedures.
Ms. Atwater shares, "In creating Paintings That Heal, I believe that we are offering a new healing modality which will be physically effective, emotionally and mentally therapeutic, and
easy to administer without pain or side effects. We're very excited about the positive results we've seen so far. I'm anxious to expand our research into broader test samples by using
more types of monitoring equipment and controlled environments. It is my intent to participate in more research work with various organizations dedicated to discovering and creating new
modalities to treat various diseases, disorders, and dysfunctions. It is also my intent for my Paintings to be an integrative bridge between alternative and traditional allopathic
therapy."
When asked about what an individual can expect when they are exposed to a Painting, Brent responded, "At present, there are no specific guarantees about the healing properties of
Paintings That Heal, and research results vary with individual situations. However, we are able to document definite changes in the individual's bio energetic fields, and with that given
result, we hope, to generate more interest in expanding our long term research program for the energy of Paintings That Heal. We plan to take my Paintings on the road. By exposing them to
a more expansive audience, we are continually gathering new research data, and personal testimonials." Ms. Atwater welcomes opportunities to work with galleries, healthcare practitioners
and environments, and researchers in order to further explore and document the potential of this modality.
Brent was first identified as a Medical Intuitive by Larry Burke, MD at the Duke Integrated Center for Medicine. Dr. Burke is a founding member of the American Board of Scientific Medical
Intuition with Carolyn Myss and Norm Shealy. She has also been tested by the Edgar Cayce Institute of Association of Research and Enlightenment and determined to be "a Healer" by the
criteria set forth by the Institute. Her global Medical Intuitive and Healing Energy work has been studied and/or documented by Duke Center for Integrated Medicine, the Edgar Cayce
Association for Research and Enlightenment, The Dallas Center in Atlanta, GA, and NC State University's School of Veterinary Medicine. She works with both traditional and alternative
healthcare professionals throughout the world in Integrative Medicine or CAMA (Complementary Alternative Medicine) practices that combine Healing Energy work with traditional medicine.
She participates in ongoing medical research.
Through the 80's and 90's B Brent Atwater was a highly collected, exhibited, licensed, televised, and widely sold American photo-realistic, and impressionistic artist. She has been
featured on "PM Magazine" in a national segment, on "Crook and Chase" & others, and in many major national magazines ("W", "Town & Country", "Robb Report", et al) and newspapers.
Her licensed work has and can be seen in major retail stores and catalogues. She earned a Creative Writing and Art degree from Hollins University, Roanoke, VA, and certification in
