In Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) Japanese acupressure, hands placed on a person perform the same function as jumper cables connected to a car battery.  In a car with a dead battery, insufficient energy gets circulated, thereby preventing the car from starting.  Jumper cables, connected to a power source such as another car’s battery, provide the necessary energy to get the system restarted.  Similarly, hands alter the energy movement in the body they touch.  Knowing where to place your hands allows you to redirect energy specifically aimed at whatever physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual “project” might be involved.

Jumper cabling, a term used in Jin Shin Jyutsu, involves only gentle pressure on the points in question.  You don’t massage the points, press them until they hurt, or do anything uncomfortable.  The analogy of jumping a car battery applies here too; you want to make contact but don’t need to use force.  If a point feels tender you might want to lighten your touch.  This art invites comfort, not pain or effort.

You can jumper cable yourself or someone else.  When holding points on your own body, no time limit applies because you can’t overwhelm yourself with your own energy.  If you apply the points to someone else or receive a treatment from a practitioner, the suggested guideline limits the receiver to one hour of JSJ every eight hours to prevent overwhelm.  Honoring this limit makes sense considering the power of this gentle healing art.

Do you believe you must experience something physically intense to experience healing?  Does transformation through light touch seem possible or impossible to you?

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!
