Hidden Under the Stair

01 September 2011 John Michael Thornton

A few months ago I was called upon for a house clearing and blessing in Sharon, PA. I've told bits of the story a number of times, focusing on the ghost story aspects, but there was one unexpected encounter that I haven't talked about yet – there was a fairy trapped under the stair.

I don't know how he (possibly she, I was a bit fuzzy on that) got stuck under those nasty basement stairs, but the principle haunt was the spirit of an old man trapping the ghosts of children – a truly nasty piece of work, now thoroughly banished with his victims sent to a much better place. While my fellow ghost hunters focused on the children I tried to talk to the huddled, dirty and diminished being under the stairs.

At first I got no response and the others with me barely sensed anything there at all, but I'm good with fairies and elementals and I was not about to let this little guy fade.

After telling him he was free and safe and trying to send him out of that place to no avail I offered him my hand and said, come with me and I'll take you out of here. I could feel the feather light touch on my hand as we walked up the stairs (with some of the hunters looking at me like I had lost my mind, but folks, there is a lot more out there than just ghosts).

We walked up those horrible stairs and out the kitchen door and as we reached the solid Earth and drizzly rain I saw my companion's big, sad eyes clear and fill with first hope and then power as he changed in an instant from a broken, fading creature to a brilliant, winged being taking flight – one of the most beautiful visions I have ever been blessed to see… and he was gone.

I went back into the house and joined the others in clearing the last dregs of psychic and spiritual gunk from that place, but I was blessed that night to see something everyone else missed.

I saw a fairy reborn into the world.

 

Join me September 7th for discussion and mediation with Fairies and Elementals.

What's Next

11 August 2011 John Michael Thornton
DarkColumbineThis past week was the last night of my eight week class, Energy Anatomy - Power and Practice.  It was an amazing class and I loved seeing these students gain confidence in their own abilities and spiritual connection.  We meditated together, prayed together and healed together - I learned so much from this group, even as they learned from me, and on the last day they asked me, "what next?" 

What next indeed.  Our final exercise of the night was a healing circle and one by one we sat in the center while energy, healing and light were called.  While sitting in that circle of energy I got the idea for an ongoing group - a night for people to come together, explore their psychic abilities and talk about their spiritual paths.

Starting August 3rd I will be leading an evening of Psychic Exploration and Spiritual Discussion, meeting the first Wednesday of the Month, 7:30pm at my home in Youngstown, please call 330-519-6558 if you need directions.

Each session I will lead exercises in psychic development, we will discuss our spiritual paths and we will join in meditation, class will be about 2 hours - suggested donation of $20 or what ever you can afford.  This is a time for us to gather, explore, and share our gifts.

Our first class:

Look Into My Eyes

There is something so powerful and personal about looking into another's eyes.  We cheat and look past people, our eyes flit around to avoid the personal connection that comes from deep eye contact, but the eyes are the windows to the soul we will be opening up the blinds.

Psychic Exploration and Spiritual Discussion  First Wednesday of the Month.

House and Office Blessings and Clearings By John and Jane

24 April 2011 John Michael Thornton

New Service Available!

 

I have recently teamed up with psychic Medium Charlotte Jane Webber for home and office blessings and clearings.  It's great, she talkes to ghosts and I see energy patterns so we have it all covered!

 

If your home or listing has experienced a traumatic incident that has left it feeling negative, dense or psychically icky – We Can Help!

Home and business Blessings and Clearings create an inviting atmosphere, a place where people want to be.

As a house sits vacant negative energies and spirits can become stuck in the space. These buildings can feel stale and inhospitable, making them difficult to rent or sell. The longer a house sits on the market the more negative the energies can feel

What can make a house or office feel negative and unpleasant?

• Previous owners and tenants suffering and pain from death, foreclosure, divorce or illness.

• Abandonment or being empty for a long time.

• Crime, squatters and rotten tenants.

Offices and retail venues can also get that film of negative energy from customers, disgruntled employees or previous tenants. Clearing and Blessing the space can improve morale, increase business and make it nice to come to work!

Our Home and Office Blessings and Clearings can include top to bottom smudging with sage and sacred incense; sprinkling of Holy Water; Energy Balancing of building and property; crossing over or clearing of unwanted ghosts and spirits. We also leave behind a few blessed crystals to help maintain the energies.

Residential Blessings and Clearings Also Available!

 

 

$150 (extremely large buildings extra)

Clearings and blessings take about 2 hours for most buildings

Being/Doing - Grounding

19 March 2010 John Michael Thornton
Yellow CrocusI rarely have the time during readings for "Direct Intervention" – healings, ritual, and demonstration teaching.  There just isn't time to do it right, so Spirit and I use words and direction instead.  Works great, but I sometimes sit with a person and think, there is so much more we could do if we had the time – hours or even days.

With the new Being/Doing Readings I've gotten the chance for some of this hands on work I was missing.  So far, very few people have wanted to commit to the time and money for these readings, but I had to tell you this story because the client recently reported back to me an evolution of what we did together.

I had worked with J a few times in the past and as I was getting ready to meet with her, and trying to figure out what we were going to do, the message came to me:  It was time for Grounding.  We had talked about grounding in previous readings and meditations, but while she had intellectualized the idea of grounding, both during psychic work and walking around time, the reality of what it felt like was escaping her.

RockGroundingAs an added bonus, the basic ritual dropped into my head right after the idea.  I had her sit comfortably and take off her shoes.  We began with a guided meditation, clearing and focusing before beginning to visualize roots growing from the base of her spine and the soles of her feet.  I knelt in front of her with my hands pressed to the floor as I opened my connections to Heaven and Earth.

Reaching down into the ground I gathered strands of energy and sent my mind down into the stone and earth till I found the place where the rocks go runny and hot.  Holding that connection I took her feet in my hands and gently pulled her into that energy with me – bringing that strength and solidity up as I pulled her energy down.

As I felt the connection form and strengthen between J and the Earth I powerful, female presence reached down from the heavens.  Old and strong and mothering and fiercely protective reached down for J, strengthening the Earth connection and holding the energy of the Sky in balance.

Slowly, the forces began to withdraw, but the paths we and they walked were/are still there.  Now that J had felt that grounding energy and formed those connections it has been easier for her to do it on her own, and that was the whole point!

She told me the other day that the energy has continued to evolve.  The raw power of grounding to the Earth has become more motherly and protective, like being held in immense and comforting arms.

Wonderful!  What will happen in your Being/Doing reading?

Crazy Fall and an Unnecessary Apology

18 December 2009 John Michael Thornton
Folks it has been a crazy fall.  One weekend after another I was traveling, giving readings and teaching, most of it was wonderful – the crummy hotel rooms, fattening food, air travel and whatever bit me in Columbus was not. Still we carry on. ForcinthiaLeaves

My talk at ULE was a blast and will be available for sell on DVD first quarter of 2010, although I did discover that suits seem to scare the heck out of fairgoers.  Who knew?  Then, off to Rochester for readings and networking with my New York peeps, leading to a booking in January for radio with Michelle.  Right away off to Texas to see family and help my Aunt after her heart surgery, she's doing much better.  One day at the Warren fair before the travel caught up with me and I crashed, but some good readings.  Then three days in Sandusky at Midnight Moon and Karen's Wellness Center, both leading to spring classes: Auras – the Light Fantastic at Midnight Moon and Your Spiritual Toolkit – Psychic Development Intensive at Karen's.  Finally, Victory of Light in Cincinnati where I attempted to give readings in a noisy hallway because they lost my paperwork.  Blerg.Angel of Prayer

Funny thing at Victory of Light though, the second day the reader across the way comes over with her head hung low to say, "I need to apologize to you."

"Fer what?  Why, what did you do?"

"For years," she said, "I've been telling people that no one can 'see auras' and Spirit Artists are all frauds, but seeing you work has changed my mind.  I believe that you are the real deal and see those energies.  I am so very sorry."

I looked at her for a minute and said, "Hey, no worries.  If it makes you feel any better, I've said some less than kind things about angel readers."

Cuz the technique is always less important that the person doing the reading.  There are amazing psychics and readers out there giving incredible readings with the strangest methods and others who will sit and read you a Tarot interpretation right out of a book and call it a reading.  Talk to people, get recommendations and remember not to talk down any particular style because you never know who is out there giving the most incredible readings using two twigs and a glass of water.

One Year

13 January 2009 John Michael Thornton
This month I mark my first year as a full time psychic.
John Michael ThorntonIt has been an amazing year with all the ups and down you could expect with a new business but also some amazing highs that I never could have expected.  Teaching at LilyDale, finding water, lecturing for the Columbus A.R.E. and just traveling around meeting people at fairs has made for an incredible year.

This month I'll also be teaching my first psychic intensive workshop – Your Spiritual Toolkit.  The class is definitely a go and there is very little space left.  To all you wonderful people who e-mailed to say you will be coming, but haven't made payment or called to confirm – Please Do As Soon As Possible!  I can only reserve space for those who have paid in advance.  I love you!  Please call!

For those wondering what I am talking about, Your Spiritual Toolkit is a 6 week workshop, Wednesday 7-9:30ish, designed to teach you how to give psychic readings for yourself and others.  We will be working with guided imagery, meditation, gentle yoga, and various partner exercises to help open your mind and access your natural psychic abilities.  All students will get an accompanying workbook and a short psychic reading.  The reading must be completed before class so I can tailor the curriculum.

I'm also setting new goals and ideas for the coming year.  My goal last year was to average one reading a day for the year and I came very close with nearly 300 readings.  This year I want to take it a bit further, my goal is to average one non-Psychic Fair reading a day.  Fairs can be fun and all, but I get so much more satisfaction from the detail and attention I can give in a private session – it's really where I want to take my practice in the future.

This is already shaping up to be a great year, January first I did seven readings, and I already have more events booked for 2009 than I did in all of 2008.  The next few months I'll be traveling a lot with fairs in Buffalo, Rochester, Sandusky and Toledo – you can check the dates on my new Events!
