The Spiritual Artist Podcast

Don’t Believe Every Thought You Think with Australian Artist Tina Jacobson

Christopher J. Miller Season 5 Episode 183

Today’s guest is Tina Jacobson, a lifelong artist and spiritual explorer from Australia whose creative journey weaves art, intuition, and healing. Raised on an animal-filled farm by creative parents, Tina has spent her life immersed in design, murals, and illustration. Her coloring books, including The Colorful Life Colouring Book, invite readers to reconnect with creativity as a gentle, spiritual practice rather than a task to complete.

Through years of self-discovery, Tina learned that healing begins by watching the mind. Once trapped in cycles of self-criticism and dark thoughts, she discovered that thoughts aren’t truth—they’re passing waves. Influenced by teachers like Michael Singer and Byron Katie, Tina began observing her thoughts instead of believing them, noticing how they affected her body. She reminds us, if you can bring that fear back to your body and feel at ease, you can’t change anything—but when you’re in your body, you’re closer to your intuition, and it will give you ideas on what to do. Fix yourself, heal the world. Use your body to bring dark thoughts to light.

Our conversation explores how coloring, movement, and awareness of the body can return us to presence and Creative Intelligence. Tina reminds us that love doesn’t mind when things fall apart—it simply observes. When we witness our thoughts without judgment, they lose their grip, and creativity becomes a path to freedom.
