It is the duty of my heart to revive
when the night monster flies through rooms of darkness
and a thousand waves of sorrow
and a thousand waves of fear
pour down my dreams.
When the stiff-hearted build up cold palaces of silence
and the letters of my name fly away with their wonderful secrets
it is the duty of my heart to sing . . .

Energy Enhancement Sessions $60 session (an hour or more)
A typical session begins with a warm, Epsom salt foot bath to help drain stress, clear the mind, and begin the relaxing process. During the foot bath, an intake interview is conducted.
Next, the energy adventurer lays on the treatment table and has a 10-minute energy flow "warm up" on the "chi machine". The feet are placed on a machine that gently sways the hips and legs back and forth to loosen stiff joints and get chi flowing.
Barg then uses a variety of energetic, sound, and journey techniques to open blocked energy passages in joints, organ centers, and the spine to clear stale energy wherever it is found and replace it with fresh energy.
Sounds, aromas, body/brain tuning, and gentle enery work help the mind align with the body so the two can develop a working relationship.
Energy Coaching $200 ($50 a session for 4 sessions).
These sessions are very similar to the Energy Enhancment sessions, except coaching requires the adventurer to commit to 4 sessions ($50 each), and there is a focus on how to improve daily energy on a physical/mental/emotional/spiritual level. Note that in this work, the word "spiritual" is not about religion or belief, and is about the technology of energy and connectedness to others and the cosmos. The adventurer should also be willing to adventure into new daily routines in order to most benefit from this coaching. Otherwise, it's really a waste of money.

It has been said that one's environment reflects one's emotional and mental disposition. We've all seen depressed people surrounded by clutter, dirty dishes, piles of stuff. That's extreme. But many people can't keep papers from piling up, can't manage to hang up their clothes or put dirty clothes in a hamper.
Others aren't really messy, but they can't part with anything, and soon their abodes are jammed with old souvenirs, baskets of "sentimental" things they rarely see or enjoy, and other incomprehensible keepsakes. They are waiting for the right moment to go through all the papers, or the old clothes. Often these accumulations go along with feeling sluggish or stuck in one's life and heart and imagination.
Then there are the thrift store/yard sailors. They are always coated in feelings of lack, and so they must constantly consume. That it's a "bargain" is justification for endless consumption of stuff they really don't need.
These can be hard habits to break (she said, from personal experience), but bursting free of mindless clutter is one of the most energizing breakthroughs one can enjoy in terms of personal environment.
Though Barg has independently studied Feng Shui outside of a classroom, she does not offer Feng Shui as a service (though there are always elements of Feng Shui happening when clearing and organizing are happening). Barg will analyze the problem spots in your home or office, help you set up a plan for clearing and organizing, and help you find the courage to really clear and not just move clutter to a different corner.
After clearing, comes cleaning, clearing stale energy, infusing new fresh energy. Then it's time to create beauty in the cleared, energized space. That might require fresh paint, a plant, etc. It may require nothing at all if the clearing and cleaning unearthed beauty.
It is always easy to feel the difference of the energy in the "revitalized" spot or room from the energy of other spots or rooms still clogged.
It is possible to have Barg help clear one room or spot so you understand the task at hand and can clear the rest alone, having Barg back when the abode or office is ready for energy refreshing.
Give yourself permission to live in clutter-free beauty. It doesn't have to be expensive beauty. You'll be surprised how much more peaceful and powerful you will feel.
