Collectively we take ourselves rather seriously.  We focus on challenges and forget to celebrate gifts, difficulties get more attention than what comes easily, and the people who bother us tend to occupy our thoughts more than the ones who inspire and lift us.  Perhaps a change in perspective could help.

Just for fun, consider a world where your current perceived shortcomings qualify as gifts.  You might be honored as a gifted procrastinator or lauded for your disorganization.  Maybe you specialize in complaining or have mastered false starts.  Or maybe you excel at avoiding exercise and healthy eating.  To add to the strangeness of this new world, you might be asked to share your expertise.  If you needed to teach others your “gift,” how would you do it?  What makes you a master at your gift?  If you get really curious, how does your gift work?

Imagine how you’d view other people in this new world.  Rather than getting hooked by someone’s behavior, say gossiping, you’d acknowledge their skill in the area.  “Edna mastered gossip, I wonder what other gifts she has.”  Suddenly what drives you crazy becomes someone’s expertise or specialty and a cause for curiosity rather than anger or frustration.  Could you find a way in this upside-down world to admire other people’s “gifts?”

Returning to our reality, whatever bothers you about yourself or others, when you make light of it you send a message of love and compassion to yourself.  Plus when you take some of the charge off the problem, you allow yourself more room to shift away from it.  In truth, our shortcomings are gifts sometimes simply because they reveal our humanness and sometimes because they direct us to what aches, to what requires additional loving care.  Somewhere under your judgment some softness resides, maybe even some amusement, the universal healer.

Remember we know from the Akashic Records everything in your life, even your shortcomings, optimizes your soul’s evolution.  For those interested in Jin Shin Jyutsu®, Safety Energy Lock (SEL) 15 supports joy and laughter and SEL 8 invites the “magic of life.”

When do you feel lightest?  Can you invite light, ease, or even amusement around your shortcomings?  Can you let yourself be seen and heard in your full humanness?

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.

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!
