Take It As It Comes

Fortunately the phrase “Take it as it comes,” which I first heard during Transcendental Meditation (TM) training this summer, came just when I needed it, right before my father unexpectedly fell seriously ill in early September.  Throughout the long and intense month of his hospitalization and subsequent passing I often reminded myself and my mother to take it as it comes.  The enormity of the situation required a severely scaled down view, trusting what arose could be managed a little bit at a time.  Even now as I help my mother, who lives fifteen hours away, cope with the loss and her abrupt introduction to the world of bills, home maintenance, and driving herself where she feels confident or arranging transportation where she does not, I repeat this phrase.

Take it:  Taking it requires a certain level of resilience and assurance, knowing somehow you’ll handle what comes, even what you don’t want to face.  When you take it, you show up for the experience at hand.  Conversely, consider what happens when you tell yourself “I can’t take this!”  If you believe this thought, coping with an already difficult situation may seem impossible.  As always, however you respond aligns perfectly to you and your soul’s evolution.

As it comes: Taking it “as it comes” means you understand you do not control what comes, only how you respond to it.  With my father’s situation this meant sitting with facts, often hard ones, rather than fast-forwarding to the even more negative scenarios our minds could create from the information we received.  The more fluidly you can adapt to your outer circumstances, the more clearly you can discern what actions to take in the moment.  Your awareness and choices connect you to future possibilities.

It comes: Life and death both happen to you no matter what you choose, prefer, or believe.  Likewise unexpected opportunities, experiences, and people appear.  The more you can relax into the mystery of what life and death bring, the more vibrantly you can enjoy each moment.

The Jin Shin Jyutsu® Japanese acupressure WFAST Finger Holds self-helps harmonize emotions which allow you to make more conscious decisions both in crises and ordinary life.  What are your tricks or tips for taking it as it comes?

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!
