"Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Albert Einstein
"If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it."
Albert Einstein
Jan West uses art to explore Mystery and to expand her audience’s perceptions of reality. Her untouched photographs of Orbs and Energy Fields, show that we are all interconnected, energetic beings of light. West shares her original paintings of Mandalas and Photographs of the Orbs, as symbolic representations of realms that lie beyond conscious awareness. Her work with what she has coined, Force Field Photography began in 1994. Since then she has inspired many to pursue their own hopes and dreams and to follow their unique path towards creativity and joy.
In her May 26th presentation to the Garrettsville Chat Group, Jan will integrating her work with Mandalas, symbolic metaphor and storytelling, to the higher dimensions of the Orbs. For thousands of years Mandalas have served as a means towards expanded thinking. Symbols are beyond language and the rational mind. They bring about the wisdom of the ancients and a deeper understanding of human consciousness. Mandalas serve as a conduit between the conscious mind and mystical realms of the Orbs. They jump start our connection to intuitive wisdom, through visual, vibrational and energetic means. Jan hopes her work will empower participants, by opening their eyes to new ideas and possibilities. Her goal is to shift existing paradigms of reality, one image at a time. A picture is after all, worth a thousand words!
Jan West is a graduate from the College of Wooster, with a liberal arts degree in Political Science and Speech, with graduate studies in Landscape Architecture, at Ohio State University. She also owns a small business specializing in commercial photography and photographic marketing products. Jan is a wife and mother of three, and lives in Cleveland, Ohio and Abiquiu, New Mexico.

"The only joy in the world is to begin."
Cesare Pavese

See for yourself, how an understanding of the interconnectedness of all, will catapult you into Higher Frequencies of awareness and empowerment. Learn how to communicate with the Consciousness Realm, the world of the Orbs. Learn how to channel, harness and use the invisible energies and information systems that are accessible to us all.

"Intelligence is something we are born with.
Thinking is a skill that must be learned." Edward de Bono
4. Dancing with and Photographing the Orbs:
"That human mind is like a parachute - it functions better when it is open."
Cole's Rules
Cole's Rules
A hands on, interactive workshop, where participants playfully and ceremoniously learn how to interact with the Orbs and to photograph them. Participants are encouraged to bring a camera, but it is not required. Digital pocket cameras work perfectly. There is no need for a special or expensive camera. Jan West will present some of her images and an introductory lecture on the Orb and Energetic Realms. The remaining time will be spent actively interacting with the Orbs and doing photography.
For each fire ceremony,
men, women, young children and teens step out of their ordinary, every
day lives into an evening filled with mystery and extraordinary
experiences.
5. Fire Ceremony:
"Change is not merely necessary to life - it is life."
Alvin Toffler
Alvin Toffler
Jan West will help you or your organization produce a Fire Ceremony and an event that the participants will remember for ever. The ceremonies are a love filled, dynamic, community and family based event that often results in new and eye opening perspectives and attitudes towards life.
6. The Archetypal / Symbolic Significance of the Mandala:
"Martin Luther king said "I have a dream", not "I have a plan"."

A study of the Sacred Sphere and the power of the symbol through out recorded history, all around the earth, and why this is relevant to our evolution and healing. In this class Jan West offers fundamental instruction about Mandalas and creativity.
“ I saw that everything, all paths I had been following, all steps I had taken, were leading back to a single point -- namely, to the mid-point. It became increasingly plain to me that the Mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation. ... I knew that in finding the Mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate. “ C. G. Jung.

Using Sacred Symbols for Spiritual and Emotional Healing.
"The world is but a canvas to our imaginations."
Henry Thoreau
Learn ways to facilitate positive change and experience the flow of pure love to heal heart, body and mind. Connect with your true-Self, beyond ego. Mandalas serve as portals into your spirit, to help free yourself from stress, disease and fear. This training is beneficial for all. It is especially geared to help Ministers, chaplains, nurses, psychologists, hospice and social workers, healing artists and music therapists with their work. The Mandala process has been used for thousands of years, to help us return to the soul’s center to access our innate healing energies.
9. An introduction to the art of Mandala making:
"Doodling is the brooding of the mind."
unknown
unknown
Make your own Mandala: Our subconscious mind is reflected in all of our creative work, whether it be painting, writing, composing music, or dancing. The practice of Mandala making encourages us to reflect on what the colors and designs of our Mandalas reveal, about our inner-state. Mandalas can also be used as a tool to help us heal and to guide us into healthy conscious choices.
For example, a person who is experiencing a difficult time might do half of their mandalas in colors or symbols that represent their struggles. They might do the other half of their mandala in colors or symbols that represent how they want to feel. One side of a mandala might represent the heart, the other the mind. Make a Mandala that represents the theme(s) in your life right now. Alternatively, you may make a Mandala that represents what you wish to bring into your life.

11. Chakras and Mandalas:
"A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something."
unknown
unknown
Awaken an awareness of your own Chakras as Mandalas and learn how to heal, energize and unify your mind, body and soul through these colorful, swirling energy systems that are Mandalas / Chakras. The body has energy centers that look like spinning wheels that are called Chakras.
The Chakras allow energy to flow from one part of the body to another. As with all things in our reality, they are linked to sound, light and color. To heal, is to bring the chakras into alignment and balance. In this class we learn how to tap into the power center within and without the body by aligning the Mandalas of Light that are within each and every one of us.

Jan West uses paint and photography and energetics, to explore archetypal, spiritual and cross cultural themes and to tell the stories of the ages. Jan''s deep love for the natural world is reflected in her paintings in a style she describes as Organic Abstract. Her paintings reflect the colors and emotions of the American Southwest, more specifically, of her home in Northern New Mexico. Her strength as an artist lies in her use of color, lighting, stylization and innovation.

What to Wear:
The following is simply some advise- your clothing choices are completely up to you. I want to be able to capture your true personality. If you are interested in great black and white photos, ensure that you wear either a solid light color (beige, light shade of blue, pink, etc… ) or a solid darker color (black, navy blue, dark grey, brown, etc…)
Try to keep patterns and logos on clothing to a minimum as they can
be
distracting.
For children and babies, almost anything goes ( try to keep patterns simple ). Ensure that they are wearing something comfortable as this will reduce stress and increase their enjoyment which equals better photos. naked or diaper-clad newborns always make a great photo. For family shots, choosing coordinating color tones will make for a more unified look.

Location:
We can do the photographic session wherever you would like. Your home always makes for great
real life photos and children are more likely to be relaxed in this
setting which reduces stress all around. Alternatively, we can use any
outdoor location to get great natural photos as well. If travel is
required, then pricing will cover travel expenses.
Payment Methods:
Payment is due in full at the time of a session. I accept cash and
checks. Contact Jan West by Phone ( 216-496-2671 ) or Email. Should you request additional services
following the session, such as adding another storyboard or any other
