While writing sometimes flows effortlessly whereas other times creating one quality sentence seems impossible, I don’t believe in writer’s block since the rich resource of potential expression always awaits.  Writer’s block implies an external force ties your hands preventing you from expressing yourself.  When you release the illusion of something beyond you holding your words hostage, you can connect to the possibility you yourself own and can shift the ebb and flow of your writing.

In Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) Japanese acupressure, every disharmony begins with an inhale problem, an exhale issue, or both.  Consider writer’s block in this context.  When you find yourself writing furiously and productively, view this as a big exhale or release of words onto the page.  The desire to express yourself overcomes any reluctance or barrier.

Conversely, consider when you want to write, maybe you even sit down at the page or computer and nothing comes.  While you feel ready intellectually, you may need to shift something internally for the words to start flowing again.  Maybe you need some down time to creatively inhale, maybe you need to sit with what you’ve already absorbed as a pause between the writing exhale and inhale, or perhaps you need to give yourself permission to say it, to exhale.

You can’t continuously inhale or exhale.  A productive writing jag won’t last forever but a temporary drought won’t either.  Continuous change, a fundamental aspect of the universe, applies to writing as well.

For those interested in Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) self-helps, the third depth (Gallbladder Organ Function, Liver Organ Function, Safety Energy Locks (SELs) 16 through 22, middle finger), SEL 13, SEL 17, and the Lung Organ Function harmonize creativity and imagination.  The third depth, among other benefits, gives you the gall or nerve to express yourself.  SEL 13 invites enthusiasm and self-empowerment, SEL 17 supports intuition, and the Lung harmonizes breathing as well as mental clarity, emotional calm, and worthiness.  I recommend holding self-helps for thirty-six exhales and inhales while attending to your breath.

What do you tell yourself when you encounter a writing lull?  How do you ride the rise and fall of your writing productivity?

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!
