My mother currently lives with my husband and me while she awaits placement in a retirement facility. While I view three days as my comfortable upper limit as either host or guest, we about to enter our third week with no specified end date which discomforts all three of us. Hosting a guest long-term challenges routines, down time, and privacy, especially important structures for introverts like my husband and I. Once again compassion presents itself as both my antidote and nemesis. I want to view myself, my mother, and my husband more softly. I intend to hold any residual hardness with softness as well. Yet I find compassion paradoxically elusive when I reach so far beyond my comfort zone. Possessing coping skills and tools only helps when you employ them constructively and consciously, not when you foster unrealistic self-expectations.
“Compassion: Heartfelt understanding of the human condition that encompasses the pain in oneself and others, dissolves judgment, and opens the way for acceptance.” While I’d love to claim mastery here I confess I feel stressed because I want to spare my mother from further pain which inevitably fails since I do not control what arises for her either externally or internally. Yet despite my equanimity with life’s ups and downs in general, when I fail to eliminate her suffering I tend to feel hard on myself. At these times I lean into the metta prayer line “May my heart remain open.” I also tap into my deep awareness of how every experience benefits our soul’s evolution.
“Compassion: Sincere desire to eliminate suffering.” During a judgment storm, the desire to eliminate suffering may elude you. I find it helpful to visualize holding a bouquet of hearts and roses, extending it to the world as well as myself. I also envision placing myself into my own heart, to make room for myself regardless of my state of mind. In Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) acupressure®, you can invite compassion with Safety Energy Locks 16 through 22, Organ Function Energies Gallbladder, Liver, and Heart, as well as the middle and pinkie finger self-helps.
Where could your compassion use some cultivating? How do you cope when judgment arises?

The Main Central Vertical (MCV) flow and self-help from the ancient healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu harmonizes everything physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. In this post, I discuss specific projects harmonized by MCV and how to apply MCV.
About three weeks ago, my 56-year-old physically fit husband experienced paralysis of his right side following a stroke. Today it's like his stroke never happened.
Some Jin Shin Jyutsu self-helps for managing emotions, enhancing immunity, and supporting our lungs. Also, I'm hosting free Immunity in Community gatherings.
We open with a 45 minute or so Akashic Records consultation. The revealed themes, patterns, and disharmonies drive the table work in conjunction with your "pulses," body reading, and my intuitive insights. A follow-up e-mail documents what occurs during the energy work and includes customized self-helps.
In this work, you remain fully clothed. Just wear whatever will feel comfortable while lying on my massage table. If it's a remote session, I'll ask you to rest while I send energy.
Please consider the personal or interpersonal disharmony that led you to me and how you would like it to shift. During the session, we'll explore and address the origins and drivers of each "project."
No, the records aren’t a good resource for predictions. If there’s something you hope will happen, the records might reveal a series of necessary steps to reach your desired outcome but not the timing. For predictions, please consult a good psychic or astrologer!
Minors are under their parents' legal and energetic jurisdiction until they are 18, regardless of their maturity level.
The greatest benefit occurs when I incorporate all four modalities I practice. The option without the Akashic Records is appropriate for children under 18 who cannot receive readings. A stand-alone reading can bring insight and healing but does not involve my direct interaction with your energetic and physical bodies like my other practices.
No, but you are welcome to record sessions yourself.
Self-helps, both from Jin Shin Jyutsu and the Embodied Energy System, support your continued harmony, accelerate your evolution, and empower you. Plus they make you sparkly!
