The Brush That Awakened My Light

With Eva in 2022

A tribute to Eva Maria Hunt and the soul art that changed my healing journey.

Over a decade ago, I experienced something that changed the entire course of my life.

It was a single Reiki session.

At the time, I didn’t know what Reiki was. I only knew that I was overwhelmed, burned out, and carrying far too much pain and pressure. I had always been a sensitive soul. I could feel other people’s emotions. I longed to be free, but I didn’t yet know how to find that freedom.

And then I met Eva Maria Hunt.

She offered me a Reiki session. I said yes. That one hour opened something in me that I had never felt before… Calm. Safety. A sense of being held by something greater. That was the beginning of my love for energy healing.

Eleven years later, I am now a Reiki Master of Light. I practise four different lineages of Reiki. I have worked with many clients around the world. I run a powerful membership community, Reiki Renewal Rising®, and a YouTube channel where I offer healing tools every week.

But that first experience with Eva was the spark.

Eva is an intuitive artist, healer, and energy reader. She creates what she calls soul-infused art – paintings that are channeled, healing, and alive with energy. These aren’t just beautiful images to hang on the wall. They are frequency portals. They hold intention. And they hold you.

A few years ago, Eva and I reconnected. I commissioned her to create a bespoke painting for me. Not just any painting… a visual representation of my Higher Self.

We met on Zoom. She guided me into a deep meditation. She asked questions, gently held space, and listened as I described a vision I didn’t even fully understand yet. Together, we explored it – colours, symbols, feelings, light. She then went away, tuned into my energy, and began creating.

What she painted was beyond anything I expected.

It was a piece that felt alive. She captured the light of my soul. The magical forest scene she created speaks to something very deep within me. There is a golden glow that rises from the earth, igniting the plants, lighting up my chakras, connecting heaven and earth through my own energy body. It’s like a meeting point between timelines. Between the Mahesha I once was, and the Mahesha I continue becoming.

Now, that painting lives in my healing room. I meditate in front of it often. I call in my higher self, and I feel instantly connected. It grounds me. It reminds me. It brings me home.

Here it is:

If you are someone who is navigating a big life transition…
If you feel like you’re changing but can’t quite explain how or why…
If you long to reconnect with the part of you that knows who you are…

Then Eva’s work may speak to you, too.

Her commissions are done with care, patience, and deep soul alignment. She creates paintings for women who are awakening, healing, or redefining themselves. Women who are ready to see their soul on canvas. She also offers a range of ready-made pieces that may already hold the energy you’ve been searching for.

What I love most is that Eva’s process is not about control or perfection. It’s about trust. You bring the intention. She brings the brush, her heart, and her intuition. Together, something sacred is born.

I wanted to write this because I believe in sharing the people who have changed my life. Eva is one of those people. She helped me remember my light when I had forgotten it. And now, I want to help her work reach the people who need it most.

Because sometimes, healing comes not through words, but through colour.
Through shape. Through frequency. Through sacred art.

If her work calls to you, listen.
This might be the moment your light begins to glow even brighter.
