From Jin Shin Jyutsu® (JSJ) acupressure we know every JSJ “attitude” (worry, anger, sadness, trying to, and total despondency) originates from a different underlying fear.  Total despondency originates from the fear of meaninglessness.  As a human, you naturally search for meaning and when you don’t recognize anything as meaningful, you feel disconnected, and maybe even stop caring if it gets extreme.  Total despondency correlates with our modern times as lifestyles veered away from a community-based to a single-family or even single individual model while simultaneously valuing outward accomplishment and busyness over a life navigated via an internal compass and value system imbued with personal meaning.

In a lovely synchronicity, the JSJ self-helps associated with total despondency also connect you to heaven and earth.  Reconnecting clients to heaven and earth also comes up frequently in the intuitive healing instructions I receive, confirming disconnection from both our humanness and divine nature as a chronic symptom of our hectic times.  Of course those connections cannot be literally severed since they require no special permission or worthiness but sometimes the awareness of the connections dims and needs reawakening.

Meaning comes from both earthly and spiritual sources.  The earth connects you to yourself, other people, animals, and nature whereas heaven or spirit connects you to a bigger picture.  In some cases minute details of daily human life might enrich your aliveness and awareness whereas other times you might expand into the awe and wonder of the vast universe and what created it.  Noticing what you love, even something tiny, invites personal meaningfulness.

To support whatever treatments you currently use for despondency or if you simply want to welcome more meaning into your life, you can add the center of your palm, plus Umbilicus and Diaphragm self-helps to your toolkit.  Diaphragm connects to the source of life and Umbilicus harmonizes your connection to earth, whereas the center of your palm addresses both.

How do you find meaning in life?  What indicators alert you to a lack of meaning?

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!
