Frequently Asked Questions
How does TAT work?
TAT begins with the calming and expansive feeling that comes with holding the TAT pose. It is like opening up your mind to all possibilities. In teh TAT pose you are touching potent acupressure points for improving vision, allowing you to see the truth. Combine that with a series of statements regardign the issue that you would like to shift and you start to see and let go of what is no longer working for you. Sometimes you get insights and at other times you don't notice anything until after the session, when you catch yourself behaving with more ease around a situation that used to be very distressing. I recommend TAT for addictions, including food addiction, lvoe and intimacy issues, job stress, anxiety, depression, or to let go of problems recieving money or success.
How does a Telephone TAT session work?
First off, it would be helpful if you have a hands free or speaker phone, as you will need both hands to hold the TAT pose. Most initial sessions last one hour. Follow up sessions are generally 45 minutes or half an hour. We begin the session by talking briefly about where you feel stuck and then we formulate a step one that feels true for you. Then I guide you through the TAT session, step by step, checking in with you along the way to make sure that things are working well for you. If you'd like, I will then give you suggestions as to what to TAT on for "homework." My primary job to help you heal by teaching you how to use TAT on your own to reduce stress and create more ease in your life.
I can facillitate private telephone TAT sessions with you, daily, weekly, monthy or on an as needed basis. Many issues clear up after only one session.
How Does the 12 week weight loss TELE-class work?
We meet once a week by phone using a conference line that I will give you access to. I begin each session by facillitating an exploration of the theme of the week and then I guide everyone through the TAT of the day. I email a recording of this session to all participants, for you to follow along with each day to clear this issue on a deeper and deeper level. If you feel you don't resonate with the theme of the week, you can contact me by email and I will custom tailor TAT sessions for your unique situation. The classes are also a great opportunity to chat with others who have struggled with food and weight and to learn from each other. We each have the wisdom inside of us as to how to be truly happy and healthy. The magic of groups is that they manage to pull this wisdom to the forefront of your being. its so fun to hear everyone change and explore naturally eating less and loving their bodies more.
Why would I want to clear my chakras?
That's a great question. Your 7 main chakras are powerful energy centers that were discovered several thousand years ago by sages and mystics. All seven chakras are connected to your nervous system. The first begins at your tailbone and the seventh is at the crown of your head. Since the nervous system is the master system that runs your entire body, clearing your chakras will allow you to function better in all aspecst of your life. If you have the same problems over and over again for years and you don't know why, chances are you have a blokc on one or more of your major chakras. The format for the chakra class is similar to the weight loss class. The basic idea is to let go of unresolved emotional trauma and free up the flow of energy in your mind and body so that you can function with more ease and joy in your life. Most everyone experiences a heightened sense of compassion and inner peace during and after the group session.
If I've had pain for years, how many Tui Na sessions will I need to get rid of it?
Tui Na is a style of massage that most of my clients find more effective than a European style oil rub. For some people, just recieving one massage is enough to remind thier bodies that they don't need to be in pain. Others may need to maintain a regular routine of Tui Sessions to keep the pain away. The number of sessions depends on many factors such as how long you've had the condition, your age, lifestyle, stress level, and on how well your body responds to Tui Na massage.
