I confess I’m a recovered self-improvement addict. I believe this attachment to self-improvement resulted from conditioning by my family and society to value high achievement and embrace ever-increasing standards. From a Jin Shin Jyutsu® acupressure perspective, my astrological sign Leo also contributes to my “Trying to” or effort. Thus I have embarrassingly extensive experience with resolutions, plans, makeovers, do-overs, and various other “how can I do better or be better” strategies. Over time I realized “better” means more authentic and heart-centered, not necessarily more externally accomplished.

Resolutions used to excite me. Finally a chance to start over and get it right. Of course, like most people, the jubilation only lasted as long as my resolve. Also like most people, my resolve lasted far less than the twelve months which would provide another opportunity for a sweeping fresh start. Plus failed resolutions made me feel like a failure.

I prefer setting intentions to creating resolutions. This appeals to me because it suggests opening a door instead of fighting to keep one closed, to resist the forbidden. Plus I can focus on my soul evolution rather than lock horns with human perfectionism.

I like to do the math as I evolve into my authentic self. What can I add to my life which supports me feeling more whole, more in harmony with my highest good as well as the highest good of everyone connected to me? What behaviors, relationships, or activities interfering with my soul evolution can I subtract? What multiplies my joy and aliveness? How can I divide (share!) my joy and love with more people? Now instead of self-improvement, I focus on self-evolvement. This means I invite more L.U.C.K. – Love, Understanding, Compassion, and Kindness. This kind of luck brings a lightness and freedom independent of performance or other metrics.

Do you make resolutions? Intentions? Perhaps you treat each day, hour, or even minute as a chance for a new beginning. I’d love to hear how you realign to your highest good.

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!
