Do you have a friend or family member who struggles, seems stuck, and sometimes even asks for advice but then doesn’t take it?  You feel for the person, want to help, but eventually might feel tired and frustrated not seeing any progress despite your efforts and concern for them.

Remember every experience aligns perfectly with what each person wants to master as a soul, both you and the person you want to help.  That means the stuck person learns from their situation while you learn from your response to it.  The person shall remain stuck until they get unstuck on their own personal perfect timing which may seem uncomfortably long and unnecessary to you.  Remind yourself internal shifts may not show themselves immediately.

Love the person in the midst of their human difficulty.  Stuck people suffer and when someone tells them how they can get out of it, implying if they’d just act on the advice they’d liberate themselves, it increases their suffering.  Love them, listen deeply, and assure them you have confidence they’ll work through this challenge.  Use your discernment around finding additional support and resources if the person exhibits high risk behaviors.

When someone you want to help won’t take your advice and you feel frustrated with them, you direct negative energy toward yourself as well.  You want to help!  Why can’t you get them to listen?  Underneath this lies your own sense of failure, your inability to relieve their suffering and to manage the situation including your own feelings.  So love yourself more deeply, forgive yourself for your limited impact on the situation, and give yourself tender care.  Managing your own discomfort around the person’s dilemma can help discharge some of the intense energy you both feel which often helps them more than any advice you could give.

When you feel stuck, what kind of help do you want from family and friends?  Does advice make you feel better or worse?

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.

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!
