You have powerful and loving guardian angels who want to help you create the life you desire and deserve. They are with you always and they are ready to communicate with you, if you will only ask and listen. Use the energy of the 7 Archangels to heal the heart from the inside out. This process can be used throughout every aspect of your life to heal relationships, addictions, self-esteem issues, or disease. Invoke the power of the Archangels to help transform your heart from a state of fear to a realization of the love that always exists within. Through a series of meditations, visualizations, music with soul musician Kris Voelker, and hands-on exercises, become aware of this unconditional loving energy that surrounds and supports you in all ways. Develop:

• Simple steps for grounding and connecting with spirit
• Your strongest intuitive ability—clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairsentience, or clairaudience
• Knowing who the Archangels are, their qualities, and how to connect with them to receive divine healing, love, forgiveness, and support
• Ways to interpret the messages that your Angels are sending you

Meditation techniques open the communication between your physical world and the spirit world. Consciously open yourself up to your Archangels to receive the love and healing that you deserve and  share it with those around you. Sunny also may do some random angel readings throughout the weekend. Saturday night is an optional program, which is not workshop material, and includes sound healing  and meditation.

In Depth with Sunny Dawn Johnston

Connecting with Your Angels
At age thirteen, I had my first angelic experience; I saw my first angel. I was surprised when I awoke to a brilliant, glowing, angelic being hovering above my bed. But I wasn’t afraid, because the peaceful energy that emanated from this glow felt like pure love. I soaked it up and felt calm, serene, and supported as I drifted back to sleep.

This was my first experience with the angelic realm and I continued to have many more throughout my life. Even though each experience was different, the energy of absolute unconditional love was the same. Regardless of what was going on in my life, the angelic realm was always present. Sometimes I chose to listen, other times not. I denied, resisted, and even ignored them, yet they still remained. This is the unconditional love that is available to each and every one of you, every moment of your life.

The last twenty-six years have been an amazing journey, and each day I’ve experienced divine intervention in the form of angels, archangels, spirit guides, ascended masters, and the beautiful physical bodies that walk this planet with me. I’ve learned that I am responsible for my life. I created my challenges by my own resistance to love. I was born with innate value, simply because I was born into a physical body. I did not need to earn, prove, or justify my worth. I was worthy because I was. I forgot that simple statement many times in my life. Perhaps you have also. There was no one to blame and nothing at fault. It was part of my path, a very important part of my path—maybe the most important! The pain, discomfort, challenge, or lack were all awareness's that led to my acknowledgment of my own self-worth. The Archangels surrounded me and guided me while I was given opportunities to see my unique and divine value. The choice was mine, as it is yours.

Over the past decade, I have worked with thousands of clients as a spiritual counselor and psychic medium, taught hundreds of classes on Communicating with Your Angels, Psychic Development and Mediumship, and through them all, continue to witness different experiences with the Archangels. Some clients talk to them, others feel them, some see them, and a few can even hear their messages; however, a large majority are not aware of them consciously, even though they believe in them. So they come to me and ask me to share what their angels are saying. My mission is to change that! Part of the reason that my clients do not feel as if they can communicate with their angels is because they feel unworthy. I, too, have felt that unworthiness.

It's time to tell a new story... Are you ready to connect with your angels? See, hear, feel and know their energy and experience them for yourself? The experience of your Angels can and will change your life... it did mine.

Move beyond your constricting habitual patterns, such as mind chatter and reactivity, to enjoy greater happiness. Mindfulness training, the moment-to-moment awareness of your mind/body process with calm and focused attention, is the fundamental tool of many ancient meditative traditions and new modern psychotherapeutic techniques. 

Through talks, guided meditations, and question and answer sessions, Sharon Salzberg, bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness leads you with humor and gentleness into states of mindfulness. Mindfulness meditation enables you to transform your worldview from one of isolation and confusion to one of connection, clarity, and compassion. Especially in times of uncertainty, this meditation opens you to a power of faith and courage based on seeing things just as they are.

Studies in health and cognitive psychology confirm that learning new strategies can reduce stress and enhance personal happiness and well-being. For 2500 years, Buddhist meditation schools have developed methods for studying and transforming the mind/body process. These meditation practices help develop concentration and flexible focus, invaluable attention skills that enhance a meaningful sense of connection to life, personal satisfaction and contentment, and the ability to reduce conflict and stress.  

Practice and develop skills to calm your mind and help balance your emotions, mood fluctuation, and anxiety. Explore inner resources for activating creativity, vitality, and a core sense of well-being. More fully experience and enjoy the precious moments of your life. Suitable for both new and experienced meditators.
