Some of my recent stressors include an unprecedented winter storm here in Vermont causing our thirty to forty foot snow-laden white pine trees to continue to threaten our property and any cars in our driveway, a diabetic kitty who stopped eating and has been in a veterinary hospital since Friday, losing phone and internet service for a day which meant the hospital could only contact me via my iffy cellphone, educating my recently widowed and overwhelmed mother with her financial matters, plus my ten year old car failing inspection requiring either expensive repairs or replacement.  The past couple days I’ve noticed a tightness in my chest, presumably related to these external events.  Thank goodness I have Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) Japanese acupressure to help me relieve stress.

In JSJ, the organ function flows fall into categories based on how energy gets routed through the body during the flow.  The Chest Flows (Organ Function Heart, Lung, Diaphragm) pass through the chest and support your vitality, circulation, and back.  Astrological fire signs are associated with these flows.

Chest flows support the movement of blood and air in your body, vital for your moment to moment survival.  Digestion, while important on a longer time scale, becomes irrelevant if your heart or lungs no longer function.  The Lung flow also harmonizes your immune system, physical body, feelings and emotions.  The Heart flow supports your entire body as well whereas the Diaphragm connects you to the universe or God or however you frame the larger picture.  I recommend holding all self-helps for thirty-six out-breaths and in-breaths while attending to your breath.

Where do you first feel stress in your body?  What action do you take when you notice it?

Note: As always, JSJ provides secondary support to conventional medical care.  Please seek appropriate assistance for all medical emergencies.

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!
