In today’s episode of “Healing From Within”, your host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit: Answers to Healing and Infinite Love welcomes Jacqueline Ripstein author of The Art of Healing Art: The Keys to Power an Awareness, printed both in black and white paperback and color collector editions. The Art of Healing Art reveals the hidden language of the Universe conveying knowledge, wisdom and healing tools for those seeking a way to get beyond their three-dimensional suffering, anxiety and limitations and to live life in full spectrum. Ms. Ripstein says” Only those that that see the Invisible can do the Impossible.”
Born in Mexico and self-taught, Jacqueline won a national diploma at age 12 in a Prismacolor competition, setting off what would become a singular career as a pioneer in healing art. A unique creative who has dared cross the boundaries of the traditional art schools to create new techniques in the world of art, Jacqueline’s mystical journey and insatiable search for the Divine Light guided her to patent The Invisible Art & Light Technique in 1986, a gift to humanity, a unique revelation, an encounter with the spiritual world through her art.
Jacqueline, who is recognized globally for her work with the United Nations as a peace envoy, will share her work with the Invisible Art and Light technique and projected images using higher vibrations of the dimensions beyond our physical existence and how we may bring it into our physical reality. The color vibrations in the book connect to the human energy system, raising the frequency in the viewer and healing wounds known and unknown. We will discuss how the art in this book has a most definite calming, balancing and healing effect.
Jacqueline expresses that her intention was to show people the light of God through her art and God gave her the way. Since her childhood, her deepest desire has been to reveal the unseen dimensions that influence the course of people’s lives. Here astonishing artwork--rendered in three different light wavelengths (normal, black light and a combination of both) awakens people to the unconscious parts of themselves and the unseen world around them. Her art reveals the Light within and the Invisible dimensions that create one’s everyday life.
Some important international events that Jacqueline has been invited to was:
- Jacqueline was chosen to open the “Millennium Peace Day” in 2000 at the United Nations in New York, alongside Mrs. Nane Annan; leading a workshop for over 450 children, encouraging their messages of Peace to the World.
- Invited by the government of China to celebrate the 9/21/2012 International Day of Peace. Participation in the first Linzhou Art Exhibition and a Gliding Opening Gala at the Taihang Canyon Peach Blossom Valley, including a Ceremony of Friendship and Peace and was one of keynote speakers at the International Friendship Peace Forum.
- Invited to Hyderabad, India, where she was one of the keynote speakers at the First Parliament on Spirituality, in December 21, 2012.
- Selected ECOSOC representative of the International Association of Educators for World Peace
Jacqueline shares with us 15 lessons in the Art of Healing Art that is used as a step by step teaching tool to explore many areas of suffering or pain in life. The lessons are titled Man and the Cosmos, Architect of Your Own Destiny, The Cosmic Chess Game of Life, the Storms of Life, The Jail of the Ego, The Colors of Life, Eternal Love, From Heaven to Earth and more. Each lesson is a step toward awakening—a compilation of wisdom to support living the empowered, fulfilled abundant and optimum life.
Jacqueline goes on to mention what the WOW FACTOR is and how it might take the reader by storm. There can be an instant visceral response to the images and the words. Jacqueline says, “When the viewer is in front of my art there is a moment of INSPIRATION an impact as the energy and higher octave vibrations are automatically transmitted to the inner self and his/ her vibration is raised going beyond the barriers of the mind…without realizing it the viewers or readers right brain activates instinctively opening an entry portal to the soul’s invisible dimension. Each of my paintings acts as a mirror that reflects our souls and the true Inner Light Reality within each of us.”
Sheryl asks Jacqueline to tells us what “chiaroscuro” is. “A word that refers to the optimum balances between light and shadow”, as Jacqueline describes. Jacqueline writes, “In order to reveal the light of God within each painting, I had to learn to use extreme contrasts of light and shade. The stronger the darkness I painted, the more I could show the rays of the Light of God, a revelation that led me to understand the sense of our individual existence and the contrast between our Light and the many shades of shadows that hide within us. The stronger my tests of life were, the higher the opportunity to reveal the Light I was given. We can never dissolve these shadows: we can maneuver them to our benefit, to reveal our weakness—the areas that we have to work on—to reveal our life. When we remove our weaknesses, the Light within us emerges….The main goal in our lives is to own what is within us, as we identify and accept both our Light and our shadows….only then can we master our lives.”
The book also acts as an oracle. Readers are astonished at the way the messages they receive in simply opening the book to a random page brings profound guidance exactly how and when it is needed. Jacqueline says, “Awareness is the highest vibratory force of Light Consciousness. Strength, valor, perseverance, faith Love, and happiness are manifestations of White Light and high-vibrational colors. Black represents a lack of color, emptiness, fears, depression, darkness, hopelessness, unhappiness, low spirits devoid of all energy. It is the lack of Light….” To confront our darkness is a difficult task as we live in maya, or the state of illusion, and our physically ego directed lives trap us into accepting our darkness rather than our light. When bombarded by negativity around us such as a world in conflict where the news reports focus on crime, depravity, illness, disasters, and war, it seems that it is more challenging for our light to shine through. “Human suffering is elevated where human courage should be the light that we guide ourselves to find”, as Sheryl says.
What can be observed with this artwork that is in three wavelengths that offer the viewer to see different aspects and features—faces, figures, patterns, ethereal constructs and more in each view. This forces the viewer to unite disconnected parts of themselves and our souls. Jacqueline’s acclaimed artwork offers three images of the same master artwork that ostensibly are the same but each appears radically different—one in natural light or normal light, one seen under black light and the third view which combines both spectrums. Looking at each one within seconds ‘the inspiration factor” ignites the viewer’s soul connection as he or she receives unique messages that may be life transforming.
The Art of Healing Art: The Keys to Power and Awareness, as a transformational book, is a tool during these changing times, to help people discover their inner power and awareness for dealing with a New Era, an Awakening Humanity Arising. Her ability is to draw upon effulgent realities from the past and future to express the underlying unity of the Consciousness that permeates all realms of Being.
Sheryl asks Jacqueline what the benefits of being in a higher vibrational state with connection to universal energy or source are. In Sheryl’s new book The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love, Sheryl, as an energy practitioner and medium, shares stories to help open people’s hearts and minds to their inner soul energy and their connection to all of life through the infinite evolving Universal Source. As Jacqueline shares the beauty of life and the universe in her beautiful artwork, Sheryl, in her inner vision, sees and expresses that higher view of life- both in its spiritual and physical aspects for helping people to know their inner and energetic beauty an personal power to make choices and to improve themselves by valuing the gift of life and themselves.
Sheryl says much like the stories and people represented in her book, The Living Spirit, those of us who are infused and aligned to the light of universal spirit, we hope to shine this awareness and love for life through our words, our visions, our interactions with everyone we meet and to bring the love and compassion of the universe onto this earth plane.
Jacqueline and Sheryl have shared Jacqueline’s spiritual connection for downloading the beautiful messages of the divine that speak of love, compassion, and raising our consciousness to a more divine and humane way of life. As it is written by Aristotle long ago, The purpose of art, much like music, literature, and an internal search within ourselves, “is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” According to Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Jacqueline Ripstein’s magical images bring forth the invisible realm and inspire us to experience a connection with higher levels of consciousness. Goethe wrote that the true work of art is “The mediator of the inexpressible.” Jacqueline embodies this mediation in her art and in her persona. She expresses her vision of the angelic world in a unique, authentic and exquisitely beautiful way. How is she able to do this? She is, herself, an angel of art. After spending a week at her studio surrounded by her magnificent paintings and images from many different illustrated books about Leonardo, Gelb reached for one of the books to find a particular passage from the Maestro’s Treatise on Painting and said to Jacqueline, “What we are doing would make Leonardo smile.” The moment the words left Gelb’s mouth, they both saw the heading of the page he had randomly opened, which read “The Smile of Leonardo.” In the beginning of his Treatise, Leonardo penned a dedication: “May God, light of all things, design to enlighten me, who here treat of light.”
Jacqueline writes; "May my art serve to guide you in an inspirational journey to where its images and hidden messages become a way to reveal your Inner Light being. Let each painting be the Mirror of your Soul."
Jacqueline and Sheryl would leave you with this thought-in finding the beauty within your own Light and an understanding of the light and shadow world within each of us, we may transcend the ordinary aspects of our physical world- traumas, personal problems, and fears, and may ascend into the higher consciousness of Light-thinking and being, relegating the shadow part of our essence to have less of a hold on us so we may we prosper and heal our lives. |
