Lately I’ve experienced challenging soul learning. In attempt to overcome my oh-so-human struggles, I’ve recently worked with a shaman, two BodyTalk practitioners, my Jin Shin Jyutsu® practitioner, my spiritual mentor, and I also received a couple readings from my Akashic Records teacher Linda Howe. Plus I’ve leveraged virtually all the tools I’ve accumulated in the past fifteen years or so and spent hours on the phone with friends. Yet life continues to feel hard, sometimes relentlessly so, as I move through the most intense soul challenge of my lifetime. In one of my recent readings Linda reminded me, “If life is hard, we must like it that way.” Clearly you learn from overcoming obstacles but how do you soften the blow when a soul learning challenge threatens to bludgeon you?
Sometimes soul learning the hard way most efficiently meets your soul’s objectives. You might spend many lifetimes learning something gently and incrementally or you could opt for an in-your-face, you’ll-get-this-now approach. Apparently when your soul elects which challenges to undertake it tends to underestimate the intensity you’ll face once you arrive in human form. You can console yourself by remembering doing intense soul work means it won’t last as long as it would if your soul opted to approach it more leisurely. Plus you’ll probably overcome the obstacle in your current lifetime. Imagine how good you’ll feel once you master the challenge.
Intense soul learning eases when you tap into self-love. A smaller, easier obstacle you would have overcome already, right? Admit it’s hard. Ask for help. Give yourself support. Pat yourself on the back for your courage and persistence. Cry, laugh, walk in the woods, phone a friend, and surrender as softly as you can to the hardness. Repeat as often as necessary. Become a guru in beginning again, starting where you are, taking life as it comes.
See if you can discern a soul learning theme. The human story underpins the soul one. Perhaps dealing with a difficult person relates to a theme of self-trust or self-love. How do you love yourself when dealing with a person’s antics or drama or blaming? How do you trust what you know around someone manipulative or conniving? Some other soul learning themes include abundance, surrender, compassion, faith, forgiveness, freedom, patience, and power. When you can focus on the soul-level objective and higher purpose, the human details often become easier to digest.
What soul themes apply for you in this lifetime? Where do you see progress in your evolution?
This year I found my word of the year in my Akashic Records. It amuses me I sometimes forget I have this vast soul resource I can access whenever I want. This reminds me to stay present.
Like most people, I only take an extended rest when forced.
Many of my readers and clients learned to prioritize others over themselves. Even when offered assistance they may decline it, feeling they must sacrifice for the “greater good.” Yet sacrifice and greater good oppose each other.
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!
