English term or phrase: any improvements on the sentence?
"Once a viewer gets tuned into vibrations and energy flow emanating from the painting, he or she will receive sudden strokes of hitherto unknown ideas".

It is a description of a painting which, apart from its artistic merits, creates an an energetically charged space, brings about dramatic changes in its owner's life, bla-bla-bla.

Any suggestions and comments are welcome.
Thank you!

Explanation:
Though without the source text, this is really a stab in the dark!

Once viewers tune into the vibrations and energy emanating from the painting, ideas hitherto unknown will flash before them/will occur to them/will spring to mind.

  -> Thanks, John - though might have read the wrong mind, of course!!

agree  Trudy Peters: Nice!
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Trudy

agree  Suzan Hamer: And with John about the mind reading, for the first clause at least. I would change the second part to read something like "they will experience a flow of new ideas."
10 hrs
  -> Thanks, Suzan - yes, the second part is difficult, so little to go on.

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): and with Suzan's suggestion.
18 hrs
