Our Approach
ColorPoint Institute is a sharing of the teachings of Peter Mandel and the personal growth methods practiced and developed in the “Buddhafield” around the enlightened teacher Osho which took place from 1989 – 1995. The director of Colorpoint Institute, James St Clair, was part of a team that learned privately from Peter Mandel in seminars in various countries over this period, and worked with him together to develop a synthesis of bodywork and meditative therapy approaches including Colorpuncture, counseling, Craniosacral therapy, hypnosis, past life therapy, and the Active Meditations from Osho. Colorpoint’s purpose is to make available the understanding and methods of international therapists, teachers, and processes which facilitate personal growth and health, both physical and mental. We focus on Colorpuncture, but include many different modalities in the therapeutic approach to the client. Some of the research that is influential in the Colorpoint Approach is:
- Arthur Janov
- Osho
- Milton Erickson
- Sarita Newman
- John Upledger
- Dr. James Oschman
- The Heart Math Institute
- and of course Peter Mandel.
The above list is not complete. James St Clair spent 5 years full time researching the effects of Colorpuncture, hypnosis, past life therapy, and Osho’s Active Meditations on himself and also on hundreds of clients. This website and the offer of the home learning Colorpuncture courses are a result of this work. Colorpuncture is a method which can uncover the roots of dis-ease and pain. Often when that happens, emotions and unconscious energies are stimulated. The Colorpoint Method includes specific tools on tracking these reactions to treatments, and releasing them so that integration on a new level is possible for the client. Please read our terms of use before using these treatments, courses, and Peter Mandel products. This website is intended for educational purposes only and not as medical advice. If you are sick you should see your doctor.
The Colorpoint Courses teach Colorpuncture and the Active Meditations from Osho, as well as several therapeutic techniques for integrating body and mind reactions from the treatments. Our focus is to impart a grounding in Esogetics theory and to teach a variety of treatments along with techniques for tracking their psychosomatic effects. It is very much oriented towards the session environment and stress is given to the therapist client relationship. This is unique to the Colorpoint Method. The treatments and session techniques will be a valutable addition to any practice including
- doctors who offer alternative methods
- acupuncturists
- chiropractic
- massage therapists
- homeopathists
- kinesiologists.
The Courses also teach the tools to be able to recognize the effects of the treatments and help the recipient to integrate those effects. The treatments often start powerful energies moving in the recipient, and having the tools to be able to release those energies and anchor the conscious mind in the new freedom found in that release is very important.
