Getting and staying grounded is a big deal for many people, especially those who work with energy, but also for those who inadvertently disconnect from themselves in daily life.  Time and time again I see clients who struggle to be fully here in their bodies and in present time.

During Linda Howe’s trainings through her Center of Akashic Studies, she always urged her students to ground themselves after every reading by either taking a drink of water, eating something, or using whatever method worked for them.  For anyone needing grounding, I recommend the same Jin Shin Jyutsu® grounding technique I use to close every table session: holding the base of the sternum with the right hand while holding both big toes with the left hand for several breaths.  I often feel a dropping of my shoulders, a noticeable relaxing into my body when I do this for myself.

Some of the many other grounding options include:

  • Opening a grounding cord to the center of the earth and welcoming earth energy up into your body
  • Visualizing yourself with deep tree roots
  • Spending time in nature or gardening
  • Walking a labyrinth
  • Moving your awareness from head to heart and gut
  • Expressing gratitude which brings you into the here and now

Do you feel the need to ground yourself and, if so, how do you do 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!
