What is Amanae?(informatie over Amanae in het Nederlands)
Amanae is a powerful body work which specifically facilitates the release of old, sometimes unconscious traumas and emotional blockages. The work is also helpful for those who may feel themselves "stuck" in old patterns and want to develop themselves further.
As children, we are often taught to suppress our so-called negative feelings. Anger, grief, fear and shame are rarely given space during our young formative years. As adults, our behavior may be dictated by these old childhood habits which are stored in our bodies like tapes which we keep re-running. The effects of this may be compounded by the stressful demands of our modern day society.
Every time we fail to give our true feelings a place, a new energy blockage is created in our bodies. The more this happens the less alive we feel and eventually the blockages may turn into physical problems and dis-ease.
Amanae is about removing the blockages, helping us to get back in touch with these old stuck places and unexpressed feelings and remembering who we really are.

What happens in an Amanae session?
An Amanae session usually begins with a short discussion in which you have the opportunity to share your goals and intentions for the session. You will then lie on a massage table and the practitioner uses various physical techniques to open "doorways" on the body starting with the heart area. This together with the Amanae breathing technique encourages you to go deep within yourself, assisting you in releasing the blockages that keep you in separation from your authentic self.
Many Amanae clients have undergone psychological counseling, talking at length about their issues and desires to be free of their old patterns and yet healing remains illusive; a common problem when the issues are "solved" by the mind alone without addressing the emotions stored in the physical body.
During an Amanae session nothing is forced; your body will only release what is appropriate for it at that time. Many times deep emotional shifting occurs and a mental, physical and spiritual liberation is experienced freeing up the energy which has been locked away in the blockages and leaving you with a sense of well-being.

What is Frequencies of Brilliance?
Frequencies of Brilliance is powerful energetic work that affects the frequencies within our body; it alters the DNA and awakens and activates dormant areas of the brain. In changing the frequencies of the body it prepares for and facilitates the transition to higher dimensions of consciousness and fulfillment of our full divine potential.
Basic to Frequencies of Brilliance is the assumption that, in addition to our existence within our physical bodies, each of us is also a Being of Light. This process connects us to that Light, allowing us to unfold and realize our Selves with less effort and struggle.
This is accomplished by activating areas on or above the body called doorways. As the work is performed, all cells are awakened, both physically and spiritually, allowing development, growth and healing on all levels.
One focus of the Frequencies of Brilliance work has been the repair and healing of the brain. Through the accessing of the energy doorways, the body and especially the brain receive an enhanced flow of oxygen. Another focus is the repair of cells in specific organs of the body.
A unique combination of Frequencies of Brilliance and Amanae work has been used to great effect with children.

What happens in a Frequencies of Brilliance session?
The first session is the same for everyone. It prepares the body energetically to receive the Frequencies of Brilliance. Each following session is uniquely mapped just for you - for your next step - and usually takes between 45 to 75 minutes.
The practitioner activates a series of doorways using a simple touch on or just above the body whilst you lie on a massage table.
Each doorway contains birthing frequencies that get transmitted into the cells of the body and brain. These frequencies awaken the remembrance process so that a journey of recollecting yourself occurs. Natural gifts return as this awakening takes place and the veils of illusion which have prevented you remembering your true self in the past, are lifted so that you can embrace a deeper experience of truth and the unlimited aspects of yourself. Clients are not required to actively participate in the session and often drift into a deep state of relaxation; sometimes receiving visions or insights about their lives or experiencing a deep emotional release although this is not always the case.
What can you expect? Whatever it is that you most need in that moment to fulfill your life's purpose. Each session is complete in itself and deals with healing physical dysfunction, addictions, mental or emotional problems and spiritual alignment and awakening.

Jackie Pond - Who am I?
Born in England I moved to Holland in 1988. Interested in the phenomenon energy, I practiced first yoga then tai chi before following a vocational training to become a shiatsu therapist. During the course of this training I discovered that I had developed an illness and inspired in part by the traditional eastern attitude toward sickness decided to take a new look at myself and my lifestyle and assume responsibility for the dis-ease which I had created in my own body.
In 1999 I started working part-time in my own shiatsu clinic leaving my IT job in 2001 to devote myself to doing body work.
Early in 2001 I met Christine Day, the founder of Amanae and Frequencies of Brilliance. Within minutes of hearing her speak about her work with Frequencies of Brilliance I knew that I would train to become a practitioner.
The Frequencies work opened me up more to my true self, life became less of a struggle, and my desire to continue this process led me to participate in an Amanae 5-day workshop (Amanae Workshop Experience) in Israel. During the course of the workshop I discovered that a 9 month practitioner training program would shortly begin in Israel; Amanae had previously only been taught in the US. I was so impressed by what I had experienced during the workshop that I decided to make the journey to Israel and become an Amanae practitioner myself.
One of only three certified Amanae practitioners resident in Europe. I moved to Scotland from Holland in 2005 as I felt called to work for the Findhorn Foundation near Inverness. I have served the Foundation in various departments and will co-facilitate their 4 weekly program Living in Community Guest from October 2007. I am happy to organize Amanae workshops where there is demand for them or to give individual sessions.
I feel privileged to be able to do this work and it is my intention to approach each individual as unique, offering a safe place for you to access, feel and fully experience anything that you need to, holding the space for you to make your own journey, be it with Shiatsu, Amanae or Frequencies of Brilliance.
