“Play: Maximize every moment of aliveness.”*

I love the innate playfulness of animals. They instinctively live in the present and thus can capitalize on whatever opportunity arises. Even our almost seventeen year old cat Nac still plays with pens, pencils, binder clips, and an occasional cat toy. I enjoy her fascination with ordinary objects, her ability to see the world through playful eyes and heart, and her eager engagement with whatever each moment brings.

“Experience pleasurable involvement in all your activities and enjoy what you are doing.”

A playful mindset brings lightness to buoy anything and everything. Life invites you to play. In fact it sometimes plays with you until you cede to it. The entry to play and playful often comes through the urge to experience something new. It may come through an activity like my recent foray into coloring or it may come as an urge to travel.

“Have fun!”

I enjoyed myself more than I have in a long time when I attended my recent Embodied Energy Practitioner Training with Jill Leigh, Founder of the Energy Healing Institute. During the course I reconnected to my sense of humor, comfortable enough in my skin to show my silly side, and I laughed until I cried more than once. I didn’t arrive with fun as an agenda, strategy, or expectation but I observed how performance anxiety evaporated when laughter accompanied our “work.”

In Jin Shin Jyutsu® acupressure, Safety Energy Lock (SEL) 15 connects to joy and laughter.

SEL 15 also supports everything in the physical body, improves focus, and helps generate new ideas. When you think about it, laughter heals, focus contributes to happiness, and new ideas allow you to dream and manifest joyful changes.

What prompts you to step away from work? How do you incorporate play and playfulness into your life?

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!
