Why Portraits?

Portraits are intimate and powerful. When we look at anything we can't help but see ourselves, however, we have been trained to focus on the manifestation. When we have a portrait done of ourselves, thoughts come up about the painting, blame can get cast upon the artist, but our thoughts arise from ourselves.

Art is significant as well because art has consciousness. When a blank piece of paper transitions into art it demands information about its transition. When an artwork is completed, it, like a baby, draws the viewer to look into it and communicate with it, asking "what am I?" Usually, this is the artist, but in the Recover Yourself process (that utilizes portraiture), it is the client. As the client looks into the painting the portrait learns about itself while the client learns about themselves. I ask them to notate different experiences they have with the painting as their feelings or thoughts for, and about it, shift. This happens in the first session of the suite and because many things come up during the painting of the portrait a lot of that information is energetically part of it. After the 3 days, it will cease to communicate in the same manner. The client will notice a significant drop in its ability to draw them in. They may continue to appreciate the painting as an object, but the power of it to affect the client will have faded. This is because the client is no longer the person who the painting is of. This same process will occur for the 25-minute portraits but it comes with significantly less guidance.

Energy Work: In the suite, the fourth session includes energy work. MartinJon is a Reiki Master and is familiar with a myriad of other energy modalities. His approach is personalized for each client because they will all need support in their own way. MartinJon believes that Energy Work can be wasted if you are only going to go back out into your world and live in the same way that you did which brought you to a point of needing energy work. After the awareness that arises in the previous sessions, your lifestyle will have made inroads to significant change and the energy work will help integrate and support those changes as you get back to living.
