Jan Hart

A Woman Awakens Jan Hart

In 1997 watercolor artist Jan Hart was rushed to a hospital in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a sudden, life-threatening spinal infection, and she immediately underwent three surgeries over six weeks of hospitalization. She felt lucky to simply have survived.



During Hart's hospitalization she experienced a vivid emerald green and scarlet red vision of an entity who called himself Raphael. His message was to "Be Conscious."



Compelled to comprehend but with no idea how this directive would alter the course of her life, Hart's quest began first during her recovery then into her life as a single woman, watercolor artist, and teacher. When the US financial crisis of 2008 hit, Hart, on the eve of losing her livelihood, followed the signs-or rather, the colors.



As spirit guides and signposts of scarlet and emerald illuminated her journey, she embarked-at age sixty-six-on a new life in Costa Rica.



It was never a life she could have imagined, but it became a spiritual treasure hunt for meaning filled with deep love, heartbreaking loss, discovery, and self-renewal. Ultimately the growth toward consciousness opened a door into the Afterlife.



The book is presented in three parts according to dates and significant life events. Between the Chapters are Galleries that include some of Hart's paintings, journal entries and other writings.
