Are you also fascinated by other people’s ability to express themselves through their art?
Maybe you have joined a class or two and decided that you were just not artistically inclined.
Well, if that is the case, you probably haven’t heard of spirit art.
Spirit art is a form of mediumship that brings through messages from the spirit world. The spirit artist connects to higher states of consciousness and is inspired to draw or paint spiritually infused art pieces. These paintings help raise our vibration and reveals insights of personal importance.
What is spirit art?
Spirit art is a way of bridging the spirit world with ours through our creativity and imagination. The expression varies from one person to another. The most common forms of spirit art include portraits or paintings of a loved one, a soul mate, spirit guides, animal guides and our auras.
But spirit art reaches far beyond these expressions. It is about reconnecting to oneself, receiving guidance from above, and fulfilling our life’s purpose and spiritual journey. These art pieces can also shed light on our path, reveal shadow sides of ourselves and encourage us to face our challenges.
Remember, the spirit world wants to help us on our journey, and know that sometimes we need that extra nudge in the right direction.
However, ‘the arts’ can be any creative activity that uses our imagination. Spirit art could also include inspired designers, writers, public speakers and songwriters, just to name a few.
Any form of creativity inspired by the spirit world is essentially a form of spiritual art.
Are spirit artists also mediums
Spirit artists are, in essence, mediums due to their ability to communicate with the spirit world. They connect to higher states of consciousness and can bring through inspired creations through their chosen expression.
Psychic artists get their inspiration through the clair senses and bring through messages which advance our consciousness. These divine messages may seep through any time, it is not uncommon for messages to also come through our dreams whilst we are asleep.
Can I control what spirit art I receive?
Spirit art can express itself in many ways and is unique to everyone. But one thing is for sure, the spirit world chooses to communicate through our gifts and talents. These are areas that we are passionate about and those that we have dedicated time to develop.
For example, if you enjoy painting wildlife, then you could be inspired to paint wildlife to bring through literal and symbolic messages. Another person may love music and could become an inspired singer, songwriter or music producer.
The expression depends on our connection to consciousness and how we can best raise the vibration of those around us.
Is spirit art the same as trance art?
Spirit art is inspired by the spirit world, but trance art is directed by the spirit world. Trance artists relinquish control to the spirit world and allow them to directly communicate spiritual messages. This collaborative effort may come through a painting, spoken or written words, just to name a few.
So, a trance artist may have no artistic ability but can still create beautiful pieces of art. They are channelling the spirit communicator to directly bring through their messages through the canvas.
Trance artists are passive throughout the process and are usually unaware of the message from spirit until the art piece is complete. With spirit art, the artist is conscious throughout the process and has control of the final product.

How to draw spiritual art?
To draw spiritual art, you need to build a relationship with the spirit world and develop your clair senses. These are our psychic antennas that read vibrations from higher states of consciousness and help us understand and express the messages received.
By developing our psychic senses, we can more accurately perceive insights about our environment, people, animals, and bring through messages from the spirit realm.

Practise a spirit art exercise.
For those of you wanting to test your artistic skills right now, why not try the following spirit art exercises.
Simply follow the steps below and allow yourself to go with the flow.
Preparation: You will need a notepad and colouring pencils or crayons.
1. Begin with a short meditation. We want to get into a calm and relaxed state of mind so that the spirit world can inspire us. Find a quiet and comfortable space to sit or lay down without interruptions for 10 minutes. Set a timer for 10 minutes.
Then, simply sit in silence and place your attention on your breath. Don’t try to do anything, just stay with your breath and allow your thoughts to come and go.
2. Ask the spirit world a question. You could ask about your spirit guide, who is my spirit guide, spirit animal, angel or your helpers. You can say this question out loud or in your mind. Then listen with your whole being.
You may see an image, hear sounds, feel sensations within the body or just know something. The important thing is to trust the sensation and allow it to naturally flow.
3. Grab your pen and paper and put on paper anything you perceived. This can include words, symbols, shapes, images using multiple colours to best express what you perceived. There is no right or wrong here, you simply need to trust your intuition and express what arises on the piece of paper.
4. Repeat this exercise multiple times. Repeat this exercise multiple times over the next couple. See what changes arise and if you can refine and more accurately depict what you perceive. Remember that each of us has a unique artistic expression, some people are drawn to words, others to images or symbols.
If you see words, write them down, if you see an image or a symbol, draw it. Allow your artistic abilities to flow freely and bring through divine essence.
