Change may shadow, lead, haunt, encourage, or grow you. Change, your constant companion, often comes unbidden and not in the form you anticipate or desire. You may either love or hate change, depending on the outcome and whether you initiated it.

Change elasticity favors the young, those not yet set in their ways. During college and graduate school, for example, I moved twenty times in ten years. I lived in three dorms, a sorority, rented a room in three different houses, lived in apartments with and without roommates, and lived with my parents for a summer. I also worked seven semesters at IBM with differing job responsibilities each time. Looking back I marvel at my flexibility. My mother’s life unfortunately reflects a sharp contrast to my experience. Five months ago my father, who managed most of life’s practical details, passed away unexpectedly and this past week her next door neighbor got burglarized which ended the fifty crime-free years there. Her world, unchanged for decades, now demands intense and sudden unwanted adaptation.

The absence of change may bring stagnation. From a Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) acupressure perspective where your breath determines your harmony, change occurs in every inhale and exhale as well as in the interim pauses. When you don’t exhale properly, you may accumulate energy such as tumors, constipation, pain, toxins, or clutter. When inhaling insufficiently you may not receive or assimilate enough energy, nutrients, or enough support from friends, family, or your environment. Harmonizing change means you balance your inhale and exhale, you take life as it comes.

How can you initiate self-supportive changes and manage unwanted ones thrust upon you? Invite change harmonizing with JSJ self-helps: Safety Energy Lock (SEL) 9 assists with beginnings and endings; 15 changes your focus and your mind; 16 clears your head and invites transformation; 22 brings adaptation; and the 5 to 8 flow (right on right 5, left on left 15, then left on left 5, right on right 15) clears your head and reduces fear. As always, I recommend holding the self-helps for thirty-six out-breaths and in-breaths or until they feel done.

What helps you harmonize and invite change? How do you reframe change so you don’t feel victimized by it?

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a typical Energy Quartet session go?

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.

What should I wear to receive table work?

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.

How do I prepare for a session?

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."

Are the Akashic Records predictive?

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!

Why can't children receive Akashic Records consultations?

Minors are under their parents' legal and energetic jurisdiction until they are 18, regardless of their maturity level.

NEED HELP CHOOSING A SESSION?

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.

Do you record Akashic Records consultations?

No, but you are welcome to record sessions yourself.

Why do self-helps?

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!
