Meet Britt Michaelian

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Britt Michaelian. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Britt, appreciate you making time for us and sharing your wisdom with the community. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others overcame obstacles can be helpful. One of those struggles is keeping creativity alive despite all the stresses, challenges and problems we might be dealing with. How do you keep your creativity alive?
My day always begins with a short meditation. This is the time where I connect with my heart and my soul, release any energy that is not serving the highest good of all, and tap into my higher self. After this meditation, I write in my journal. Right now, I follow the 3-6-9 journaling technique which involves writing about the things I’d like to create in my life as if they have already happened, in gratitude, and repeating this in the morning, afternoon, and evening. This is typically a manifestation technique, but I find it to be incredibly inspiring to tune into my life purpose throughout the day. Next, I practice yoga to move by body, clear my energy and purify my mind. All of these practices (or rituals) create a solid foundation for creativity. They make each day have meaning and purpose, and they help me focus on the gifts I’ve brought to this life, so I can share them with the world, creating with intention and consistency.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I am a healing artist, a Usui and Karuna reiki master, and I create art that sends healing transmissions to the people, pets, plants, and places where my work exists. I have double masters degrees in art therapy and marriage and family therapy and I’ve studied a vast array of healing modalities because I’ve always felt that my purpose was to help others heal.

What excites me about the work I’m doing is that I’ve started to notice a wave of other artists who are incorporating healing principles into their work. Whether it is Jen Guidi, who paints in meditative mandala type patterns or Sami Hayek, who creates art based on healing frequencies, art is moving into a new frontier of powerful healing capabilities that have the power to positively impact the world.

Every year, I host an event called Healing House where guests receive reiki healing while I lead them through a guided meditation with light and sound. We, as a collective, send healing to the entire world during this process. And when the meditation is finished, I introduce my healing art that transmits the same frequency the guests previously received in the group reiki healing. It is ultimately a transmission of unconditional love. We then have a short disco dance party to move our bodies and raise the vibration even more, followed by a gratitude tea ceremony where every sip is accompanied by a grateful thought. This is a very untraditional art show, but every single person in attendance feels deeply connected to their heart and to the community of people there. We don’t get enough opportunities to experience love and community like this, especially after the pandemic, so it is an absolute honor to provide this space to guests. Anyone interested can stay tuned for details about upcoming Healing House events by subscribing to my newsletter at brittmichaelian.art

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities that have had the greatest impact on my journey have been humility, love, and fearlessness in being outside the box.

Humility, because as any type of creative, your ego will only get in the way.
Love, because if we aren’t loving ourselves, the world, and everyone in it, what’s the point? We are here to love. To heal is to love.
And fearlessness in being outside the box because I always seem to be a bit outside of where people are at, but they usually catch up at some point! And if I hadn’t trusted my gut, I wouldn’t have been able to help them heal the way I do.

The best advice I could give anyone hoping to develop these skills is to always come from your heart. Your thoughts will not serve you the way your heart will. So, when in doubt, close your eyes and drop into your heart to find the answers to everything.

How would you describe your ideal client?
Collectors of my art are interested in wellness and peace. They are people who are working on themselves to be better versions today than they were yesterday and they are doing this not from a place of ego, but because they know that when they do the inner work, it has a positive impact on the world around them. They are also not afraid to try new things, they want to be on the cutting edge of wellness for their body, mind, and soul. They want to share their knowledge and tools with others because it is their way of connecting with and being of service to others. They like to meditate and ponder life. They want to love unconditionally. And they want to help make the world a better place.
