As a seasoned professional, he offers a different approach to healing and awakening that integrates years of professional training with direct personal experiences of the energies of life. His early transcendental experiences were the beginning of a journey of discovery into Inner Light, emotional healing and embodied spirituality. When Jon was 5, he entered an altered state of consciousness for the first time. He was playing with a wooden ruler when the light of the sun reflected off the ruler into his eyes. The flashes of light soon carried him into an imaginal world of energy and new possibilities. Many years later he realized that this was the same world that shamans, yogis, energy healers and spiritual teachers had long spoken about in sacred literature. He began spending time each day exploring these experiences of inner light and inner journeys. Agni Yoga Meditation and Energy HealingIn 1970 Jon entered an extensive training program that helped him understand and further explore the inner light of his early experiences. This was the School of Actualism, which taught Agni Yoga, or Inner Light-Fire Meditation.For the next 18 years Jon developed mastery in Agni Yoga meditation and energy healing.
