Jon Terrell, MA,  has been an energy healer for over 40 years. His expertise is in helping people awaken to the healing power of love within themselves and their relationships. He works with people seeking healing and awakening.

A gifted intuitive, and seasoned professional, Jon is trained as an energy healer, psychotherapist, and meditation teacher. He is also an ordained minister who helps individuals and groups experience the radiant Presence of spirit in daily living.

Jon offers a different kind of healing that integrates years of professional training and direct personal experience. His early childhood experiences began a journey of discovery into Inner Light, energy and emotional healing, and embodied spirituality.

When Jon was 5, he entered a deeply healing state of consciousness for the first time. He was playing with a wooden ruler when the sun's light sun reflected off the ruler into his eyes. The light flashes soon carried him into an imaginal world of energy and new possibilities. Years later, he discovered that this was the same world that shamans, yogis, energy healers, and spiritual teachers have often referred to. Jon began spending time each day exploring these experiences of inner light and inner journeys.

Energy Healing and Meditation

Years later, when Jon was twenty, he began studying at the School of Actualism in California, which had an extensive training program focusing on using Inner Light-Fire for healing and awakening. This program helped him clarify his early experiences. Founded by Russell Paul Schofield, the school taught Inner Light-Fire Meditation. Dr. Schofield was a clairvoyant teacher and healer who could see life energy as it moved through the body. 

Jon studied and taught this form of meditation and performed energy healing for 18 years with the school, the last 3 of which he was president of the organization. Jon was ordained as an interfaith minister and certified as a senior meditation teacher. Jon directed Actualism’s Energy Healing Bodywork program for many years. He also directed one of the first wellness centers in the US. It included Eastern and Western medicine, massage, energy healing, counseling and meditation instruction.

During this period, Jon studied with masters of energy healing in the US and abroad. Jon received additional training in CranioSacral Therapy (Upledger), Touch for Health, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Core Energetics and Energy Healing.
Jon has a wellness-focused website with pages on Meditation, Emotional Healing Retreats, and Counseling.
