Description:
Body-Wise™ sessions teach you what is the Body-Wise™ method of energy integration and awareness. You'll learn the benefits of the method of tapping into the body's wisdom and energy centers, its practical application with a guided session, and how to "listen" to the body and its energy centers of your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical being for health and wellness. The practice of this modality deepens your sense of self-awareness, conscious living, and decision-making. It is a precursor to being able to delve deeply into the Soul-Wise™ integrative method of meditation.
​
Chakra tuning is a part of the Soul-Wise™ practice. Becoming aware of the visceral sensations of the energy centers is a part of the Body-Wise™ practice. The core of each of the primary energy centers or chakras has small bundles of nerves. There are correlating colors and their own tone or sound, often used as a mantra - "a tool for the mind; to help access the higher power and your true nature."
​
Most chakra practices focus on healing the seven main chakras since all the other minor and micro chakras are associated with these key energy centers.
​
In the Body-Wise™ practice, you learn how to sense the energy of each center, or chakra, to become familiar with the sensation of each center and any energy patterns associated with each area that correlate to the body, mind, and emotions.
​
The specific order and integrated tools to this method aid in focusing the [ego] mind and help you to access the higher power that is the life-giving force in that energy center, discovering your true nature that may be obscured by any disharmony in that area - which you will recognize during the exercise.
​
Disharmony means energy patterns in the body that relate to beliefs and old stories not serving you that arise in strong emotions - memories that invoke negative feelings and tension in the body, dis-ease, illness, discomfort, and unhealthy habits (patterns) that are felt and stored in the body's systems that influence thoughts, behavior, choices, perception, and well-being.
​
Josephine Sheppard is the creator of the Body-Wise™ and Soul-Wise™ integrative methods, owner and practitioner of the Live in AAWE™ Approach, and Author of the self-development book, "HSP - Empathic and Empowered: Expanding My Perspective". Through the development of the above practices, she learned how to heal herself in her youth, from an abdominal puncture wound overnight, shift from the mindset that invokes suicide, and healed a life-sentencing diagnosis of vertigo given to her by a Physician in adulthood.
Clients that have worked with Josephine and applied the tools she teaches have healed from insulin-dependent diabetes, habitual negativity, depression, anxiety, decreased and healed infant seizures (treated by her and training the parents in the process), and leukemia, to name a few. Results vary and are individualized.
​
​
Her mottos are "With awareness, you have more choices. When you feel better, you will do better. As you feel better, you'll know better, to do better."
To best prepare have a quiet place where you may lay, or partially recline comfortably without disruptions. Have a headset to clearly hear being guided through an online session. Dress comfortably. Have a glass of water nearby and a journal.
​
​
Being open, receptive, and having a genuine desire to know yourself will enhance the quality of your experience. Results vary and are not guaranteed as it is individualized. Your facilitator is held free of any liability, as you must take full responsibility for your own well-being. If you are currently being treated for any health, mental, emotional, or psychological matters, please consult with your healthcare providers before participating in this practice. During the process, it may cause a release of mental, physical, or emotional blocks that arise in the form of strong emotions, or old memories that temporarily arise to be recognized and processed.

"I completed my first remote session with Josephine today and it was truly awe-inspiring. The BEM - Blended Energy Method [now called Body-Wise] meditation was so peaceful and relaxing, and I feel very serene right now. Josephine has a very special light and she effortlessly shares it with others. That light shines brightly for all to see and feel. I cannot recommend a session with her enough, for stress management, mindfulness, and genuine peace. It was a true gift to experience. Much love and many blessings!" - Leah M.
"I've never met anyone that remembers being conscious of themselves before being born. Somehow I think this add's to Josephine's ability to somehow know - or feel, how my energy needs to be adjusted, moved, or cleared to feel better.
I have to say that every time I've gotten a [Body-Wise] session - which I've had several over the course of about 6 months, I leave feeling better in one way or another." - Steven
"I have done the Body-Wise method of integration and meditation twice now. My first experience was actually via YouTube [Theosophical Society Presentation & Demonstration], and it was remarkable.

You will learn and grow and come away grounded and renewed. Thank you Josephine!" - Ann W.
