Workshop Description

Working with a combination of mediation and guided imagery we will examine each chakra, discuss healthy function as well as the helpful and hindering aspects of the chakras.   Starting with a brisk discussion of chakra form and function.   We look at both the helping and hindering aspects of each chakra and discuss what can be done to help balance the energies in ourselves and others.

The second portion of the class focuses on guided meditation and partner work to look at our own chakras as well as other peoples with the goal of better understanding these energy centers and their purpose.   Workshoppers should wear comfortable clothes as we will be doing breathing exercises and, very, light stretching to help energy flow and balance.

In this seminar, Psychic and Life Reader John Michael Thornton will teach you to identify and unleash the spiritual power that resides within each of us.

In this fun and inspirational class you will:

• Learn the Seven Steps to Center - John's proven technique to help   you tap your innate psychic abilities
• See, draw, and begin to interpret Auras
• Learn ways to heal your Aura and Heal your Life

Workshop Description:

I started seeing Auras when I was fifteen.   In this class I help people see and feel auric energy for themselves.

Beginning with a brief overview of the aura and its component layers, the chakra connection and color meanings and interpretations.   By focusing on the connection to physical and spiritual health we give students a vocabulary to describe what they will see and feel during the experiential portion of the program.

The second half uses my Seven Steps to Center to enter a meditative state conducive to seeing and reading auric energy.   Working with a partner and a variety of colored pencils we then draw pictures of each other's auras.   Actually working with colors and drawing materials takes away some of the self imposed blocks and frees up the natural creative forces.

Each student receives an Aura workbook to take home for further study.

Colored Pencils and drawing paper will be provided, but artists are free to bring their medium of choice!

Developing Your Spiritual Toolkit is an ongoing workshop series offered by Psychic and Life Reader John Michael Thornton.   For more information or to schedule a reading, call John at 330-519-6558 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Finally, people in the Youngstown, Ohio, area can enjoy the luxury of personalized Yoga Instruction and small group classes.

Millions of people have found relaxation, gained strength and increased flexibility through yoga.

I offer personalized sessions for individuals and small groups right in your home or office. With over ten years of yoga practice, I have taught small groups and individuals in Virginia, New York and Ohio. Yoga has helped me manage stress, increase flexibility and promote relaxation for many years; let me help you experience the benefits of a regular yoga practice.

I see Yoga as a meditation in motion. The grace and flexibility yoga imparts is the beautiful icing on the cake. A yoga practice should give you an intimate understanding of your body and leave you feeling pleasantly spent and spiritually refreshed.

Yoga can be gentle as a summer breeze or strong as the Santa Anna Winds, but the balance of breath, mindfulness and careful instruction will carry students through.

I like two levels of teaching, gentle beginners and a more active “power yoga.” Both classes should be challenging for all levels of students, but with different goals.

Training

I was a teenage klutz, and a woefully uncoordinated child. At 16 I began studying yoga. I had known about yoga my whole life. My mother practiced yoga and I had taken the occasional class, but you don’t really begin to understand yoga until you undertake a regular practice.

At 16 I started a practice with Shirl Swan-Mock. Slowly, I became more centered and invested in my body; I gained awareness of the connection between my physicality, mind and spirit. From this awareness I gained some measure of physical grace and balance.
