Setting New Year’s resolutions often means you plan to get life right this year, to massively course correct at a memorable milestone.  Instead I suggest mastering do-overs on a smaller scale, as tiny as you can tolerate, restarting again and again as needed rather than linking changes to a specific date with a “pass/fail” attached to it.

1. Smaller changes support successful do-overs.Initially setting the bar more conservatively allows acclimation to your changes-in-progress.  Plus if you fall away from whatever goal you set, you don’t fall as far and can get up more easily.  Meanwhile practice patience, a generous acceptance of the here and now, so you can move slowly and consistently toward what you want.  As you master small do-overs, large shifts start coming more naturally.

2. Shorter and shorter reset times allow you to accelerate do-overs.Take the example of changing your eating habits.  Say you veer wildly off course eating food you swore to avoid.  While you could reset tomorrow after giving up on today because it feels like a lost cause, you could also restart immediately.  When you notice your actions don’t mesh with your intentions, you can affirm “I recommit to myself,” realigning you to actions in your best interest.  Repeat as needed, remembering mastery takes practice.

3. When attempting a do-over, focus on the “do” and not the “over.”The past passed.  You lose power and energy when you dwell on the unchanging past.  You reclaim your power when you recommit to your highest good and act on it.  So do something, anything, to get momentum going again.  Even miniscule shifts work.  Restarting could involve driving by the gym or buying new workout clothes, whatever reinforces your true desire to create a new pattern and gives concrete evidence of your commitment to yourself.

For those interested in Jin Shin Jyutsu® acupressure self-helps, try Safety Energy Lock 9 (forgiveness, fulfillment, completing projects), 15 (change your focus and your mind), 16 (transformation), and 22 (happy and content).

You could make mastering do-overs one of your goals.  As you practice it, restarting becomes a reflexive habit you’ll need less and less as you master making shifts.  What tiny shifts can you make?  How can you invite self-forgiveness around restarting as often as needed?

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!
