Holding intention for peace

An interview with Jina Wallwork Feb 09

Being an artist, a writer and a medium for spirit, do you find that your focus moves more towards a single discipline?

At different times in my life I would focus obsessively on a single discipline and then change to another. It was as though I was balancing the energy of each of them by exploring them thoroughly. They then harmonised together. Each became an aspect of a single path. They are all equal and complementary to each other.

Your new book ‘The complete explanation of death and rebirth’ would you see that as also being an art book?

Yes. I think painting is always a spiritual practice because it is a pure expression of the soul. I think the art work in the book adds to the explanation. It becomes a book that uses a variety of languages. Each image speaks a visual language. This is clearest in the diagrams, although a painting or drawing can often speak a great deal as an emotion. A book without emotion would explain very little.

Do you consider yourself to have a religion?

I have a personal system of belief but it comes from experience. There have been lots of conversations with guides and visions. 

Do you meditate?

There are levels of meditation. My guides will push me to a deeper level if it is needed but I do not intentionally meditate. Painting is a form of meditation and quiet activities also become a form of meditation. It becomes a constant activity in your life without you realizing.

Do you have any plans for what direction your work will take in the future?

I’m not in charge of that. The moment I realized that spirit and my soul are in charge, is the moment I really started to appreciate the journey.
