Worried?  Fearful?  Angry?  Sad?  “Trying to” appear one way on the outside when you feel another way on the inside?  Use WFAST to reduce emotional overwhelm in your life.

Each finger in the ancient healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu® harmonizes a specific emotion, known as an attitude in JSJ.  Harmonizing shifts emotions to a more manageable intensity so you can consciously decide what to do next.

Harmonize each attitude by holding the W, F, A, S, or T finger of either hand.  You can either enclose the entire finger with the fingers of your other hand or make a circle with the thumb over the fingernail of the finger in question.  For the thumb, you can tuck your thumb into the curled fingers of the same hand instead of making a circle.

How long to hold each finger?  Thirty-six exhales and inhales are a good option.  Or pick a fixed length of time, perhaps five minutes.  Or do it until you feel relief.  Happy WFAST-ing!

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!
