Light of Gratitude: Yin Yoga | Acupuncture | Nidra | Sound Healing with Camo Lionheart and Mariko Johnston

“It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.” --Eckhart Tolle

Living in Gratitude holds heightened awareness to acceptance of what is; separating our Self from our fantasies of the future and regrets of the past. On this Yoga, Nidra & Acupuncture Sound Journey, Camo will guide a deep chakra (energy center) based pranayama Yin yoga practice before moving your energy into the conscious relaxation of Yoga Nidra. No experience is required. Yin Yoga is very soft. Energy will flow freely using the healing art of Acupuncture from Master Practitioner Mariko Johnston, accompanied with Sound Healing to release tensions in the body, mind and spirit.

Acupuncture and vibrational sound healing are ancient forms of energy medicine. The

antenna-like needles of acupuncture combined with sound healing create an avenue to

channel healing vibrations throughout the body. Sound healing reaches the deepest

levels of our being. When we use sound healing and acupuncture, it adds another level

where we can reach. By cultivating this awareness of all aspects of your existence, you can intentionally loosen the layers of tension in the deeper spaces within and heal from all life’s afflictions.

Benefits of combining sound healing and acupuncture:

-Activates higher states of consciousness

-Promotes a deep meditative state

-Relieves anxiety and stress to induce complete relaxation

Please bring anything you may need for a comfortable Svasana (Laying down) and yogic sleep experience: 

• Yoga Mat
• Sleeping Pad
• Pillow
• Blanket
• Eye Mask
• Water/Thermos for Tea
• Journal

We look forward to this deep invitation to gratitude with you all!

Mariko Johnston MS, LAc, AEMP, Reiki Level 2, 500 HR YT:

Mariko has always had a passion for helping others through their healing journeys. Her career began as a fitness coach and yoga instructor which opened the door to Chinese Medicine. Although she enjoyed optimizing the physical body, she did not feel it was diving deep enough to facilitate true healing.

Her philosophy is deeply rooted in addressing what is out of balance and optimizing the path for healing. She uses a “whole person” approach to find the root cause of illness and determine which modalities are best suited for that person. She has a diverse and unique skill set which allows for optimal healing Training.

Mariko has a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine, where she graduated with honors.

Camo Lionheart:

Camo focuses his energy in self-empowerment and uplifting of his brothers and sisters, YOU. After years of repeating patterns of unhealthy addictive behavior and emotional suppression he began his journey into embodying his dharma (purpose). His explorations have brought him to receiving his 400 hour Breathwork Facilitator Certification, Reiki Master Certificate, 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification, and 45 hour Yin Yoga Certification as a way to support his own healing journey. These skills he has experienced and diving into his shadow and inner-child healing have introduced a new sense of freedom and trust within himself. Working with breath, energy, sound and movement; his intention is to share these technologies to give you the tools and experiences to live as your most powerful Self.
