In virtually any situation where we require assistance, we can support ourselves with Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) acupressure self-helps.  In my current situation with celiac disease, I have yet to find a gluten-free over-the-counter pain reliever produced in a gluten-free facility so I rely on pain self-helps on the rare occasions I experience discomfort.  Applying my hands on myself I’ve relieved sore throats, stomach-aches, menstrual cramps, and back pain.  Many people report success with more dramatic situations as well.

Applying the JSJ “natural pain reliever” and anti-inflammatory can bring significant relief without side effects.  Our body’s immune system uses inflammation as part of the healing process but unfortunately inflammation also often brings pain with it.  Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) address both the pain and inflammation but prolonged use can damage to your stomach and small intestine.

To access your natural side-effect-free pain reliever, you hold Safety Energy Lock (SEL) 5 on your inner ankle in combination with SEL 16 on your outer ankle.  You can apply these points on yourself or on someone else.  Always place your right hand on the inner ankle and your left on the outer.  If assisting someone else, stand or sit at their feet facing their head when applying this self-help to their right ankle and stand or sit on their left side facing their feet when applying it to the left ankle. Try it on each ankle and see if one brings more relief than the other. Remember if helping someone else apply your hands only one hour every eight hours so you won’t overwhelm them with your energy.  You can apply them on yourself as long and often as you like.

Have you considered your own hands as tools you carry with you at all times?  Have you tried the 5/16 combination and if so, how did it go?

Please note: Jin Shin Jyutsu self-helps do not replace medical care. Please seek appropriate medical attention 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!
