Unhelpful and often untrue thoughts create much of the suffering in our lives, relationships, and the world.  What if your brain came with a thought spam folder?   Imagine ignoring meaningless, counterproductive, and destructive thoughts with just one click!  Suddenly your “Untrue” filter would prevent thought-spam from imbedding itself in your brain sending out continuous distress signals.  You’d just ignore thought-spam as not pertinent, maybe slightly dangerous, and quarantine it appropriately.  Luckily you do have a built-in thought-spam delete button known as “Ignore.”

Thought-Spam 1: “I must hold myself to a higher standard than everyone else.”  Truth: Accepting everyone, including yourself, invites health and happiness for all parties.  The higher standard idea reframes your fear of being abandoned as somehow being special, virtuous, different, and thus isolated.  Yet considering a huge cross-section of humanity think they must adhere to this particular piece of thought-spam, your perceived specialness can’t be “true.”  Ignore.

Thought-Spam 2: Any “I should.”  Truth: Remember every should belongs to whomever created it, not to you.  You inadvertently internalized someone else’s external command.  Ignore.

Thought-Spam 3: Any negative thought.  Truth: Most negative thoughts are false.  Judgments, recurring fearful thoughts, negative self-talk, or buying into other people’s belief systems don’t contain soul level truth.  Ignore.

Thought-Spam 4: Excessive guilt, regret, or fear.  Truth: Guilt and regret keep you in the past.  Fear sends you to an unlikely future.  Ignore.

Thought-Spam 5: Illogical or irrational suggestions.  Truth: You don’t have to eat the whole bag of cookies just because you ate one.  You don’t have to wait to start over.  Downplaying anything putting you or others at risk, say drinking and driving, represents significant thought-spam too.  Ignore, ignore, ignore!

What kind of thought-spam plagues you?  Have you learned to notice and ignore it?

Many people find recent world events hard to understand and even harder to digest. News, just like a novel or movie plot, tends to focus on conflict and tragedy since the audience finds it compelling and dramatic.

Robust immunity includes resilience as well as appropriate resistance. Ideally you want your immune response to appropriately scale to whatever stress arises.

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!
