“Now, I think things are a little more fluid in life…”
Q: What were the circumstances or challenges that prompted you to reach out for your initial session? Was there an experience in life you were hoping to solve? (ie. health concerns, relationships, job, spiritual curiosity)
A: I had heard about Emily for at least a few months via friends - everyone raved about how "amazing she is and that while it was difficult to explain" I understood your ‘service’ to be something of a hybrid between Reiki and psychic. I have been open and interested in trying new energy work, bodywork, whatever it might be over the years partially out of curiosity and partially out of wanting to increase my own understanding of how people think and work and support in these realms. At the time that I actually pulled the trigger to meet with you, it was because I knew that I was coming up on some big decisions. I had made a big career change about a year prior from, and now within a year I had found myself immensely happy with the change but immensely disappointed with what I was doing in my new job. I wanted to make the “right” next move and to make sure I understood why and what I was looking for next. I also knew I had been emotionally in and out of my 2 year relationship and wanted to get a better understanding of how to approach that - I knew I felt stuck in it at the time but wasn’t sure if it was because I just “couldn’t commit” or if it was the “wrong relationship” - at least, that was my context for thinking about a/the relationship at the time. Now, I think things are a little more fluid in life :).
Q: Is there a specific session (or 2) that you believe were particularly impactful for you? Can you please describe what made it stand out for you?
A: SO MANY. Ha. I think for me, it is more that there are moments within the sessions that I go back to - specific ones that I reference on a regular basis because they either provide a tool, a visual, a reminder/explanation, or simply comfort.
These moments - and why are below: Grounding - I can’t say enough about how impactful this tool has been for me. I know we have talked about it in session multiple times since you first taught it to me but it is something that I use on a daily (and usually multiple times a day) basis. It is a constant easy reminder to me of my own energy and entity, my connectedness to the earth and all things as well as something bigger and outside of myself that I am also a fluid part of through existence. “Grounding” has taught me many things through the practice itself, as well as through what it can cultivate. More recently, I’ve also noticed that it can be a tool for my own knowledge/gauge of my connectedness. This is difficult to explain! Ha. I remember you talking about how they were energized, and they reflected different ‘beginnings’ that were ready to sprout. And I remember thinking how incredibly accurately that captured how I was feeling on the inside. And that “they” were such a true reflection of my own recent increased awareness and intuition. And that while the current circumstances weren’t perfect and needed to change, I had such a trust in my own energy that I knew I’d be able to navigate through communicating difficult decisions and big implications (relationship, house, etc), because those seeds were a reflection of mySELF and had their own light - and an abundance of positive, true light - that they’d carry me/inspire me through.
Q: Please describe any shifts you noticed in your awareness and feelings before and after our work together over time?
A: Life-changing. You can quote me :). I know that through the journey of the last 1.5 years in particular, I would have survived. I would have navigated my way through and found life lessons and strength from those around me. It also makes me uneasy to think about how/where I would be in this moment. Would I have been able to tap into my own awareness and strength through this time to acknowledge mySELF? Would I have made some of the difficult decisions and changes that were absolutely necessary but incomprehensible to me at times because they did not prioritize others’ ahead of my own intuition and being? Would I have been able to find so much joy, love and connectedness in the face of such heartbreak and horror? These questions, for me, answer to the shifts that have occurred through our work over time. In addition, you, Emily have taught me a new language. Life makes sense through awareness and love (even when not “fun or happy” - but also makes it more fun and more happy :)). Sometimes I find myself talking about the way I think about “life” and realize I might be using words / terms / phrases that don’t totally make sense to others but are such a way of thinking and being.
Q: How has change manifested in your life?
A: Time and Urgency. I think a lot of what I describe above belongs in this answer as well. But I think that I feel a lot less pressure around time and things happening linearly. I am much more comfortable with life unfolding. When I do have sense of urgency around something, I have better tools to be able to “sink in” and (at least attempt:)) to be in the moment in a much more present and real way than I did before working with you. I have a stronger ability to engage in life intentionally - the way I want to - with awareness. To breathe in and to acknowledge - which inherently brings me joy - whether in happiness or in pain - I am alive for it all and I truly love my life - and I know that I love my life and get to acknowledge that love through awareness.
Q: What is one, or more, pieces of wisdom you have learned from our time together that has made a difference?
A: Awareness and Action don’t have to happen simultaneously. Emotional and Physical changes often don’t occur simultaneously, or "linear-ly logically”.
Q: Is there a differential in our work together that varies from other energy practitioners you have worked with?
A: Immediate vs. Long-Term. I believe I leave every one of your sessions feeling better in some way. I also feel that over time, your work has a cumulative effect. You are educating and empowering me to live my own life with more awareness, strength, beauty and love. I believe that any one who works with you will have both an immediate and long-term positive experience but I think what sets you apart is that it truly is cumulative and I do not think of what you “do” as a “fix”. I think I often have experienced energy or body work - or in reading about it - as something that someone else does TO or FOR you. And promises immediate AND long-term positive effect. I think that what you do that is different is you are there WITH me to support ME in building my own awareness / strength / beauty / love to better connect with and engage in universal life and love - and the and more I can do that over time with the support of your insights and guidance, the more life feels like the natural rhythm that it is and the greater I can appreciate and tap into that flow.
