A Note From Christina

Ahhhhhhhhh. That’s the sound of me exhaling after wrapping the fall semester of SHIFT-IT School. This season whipped by and I’m appreciative of going into a few weeks here where I can relax, come back to center and have some fun with friends and family. Then start the process of getting the January – June… Read more »


A Note From Christina

Been busy these last few weeks fulfilling fall courses as well as coaching various private clients with their outer and inner work. As I wrote about last issue, the 2015 cohort of Visual Coach Certification is rapidly coming down the finish line as they complete requirements for coaching their own clients via visual means.

A Note From Christina

It’s dreary and wet today in Victoria, British Columbia … the rain bouncing off the street outside. A good day to be cozy inside, drinking tea and writing. As I reflect back on these last weeks, in order to sum it up for this ‘Note from Christina’ I’m struck with appreciation at the range and… Read more »

And also reconnected with the 2015 Visual Coach Certification after their summer hiatus. Plus private distance sessions with clients sprinkled in various… Read more »


A Note From Christina

Today is a loaded day in the North American psyche and in the world at large, given the magnitude and effects of the 9/11, 2001 attack. What a heavy timeline it’s been this decade plus in the Middle East and beyond. Perhaps you, like me, remember where you were when you found out about what… Read more »


A Note from Christina

Wow, that summer flew by, I can’t believe Labour Day is right around the corner here in Canada.  I certainly have been labouring, so hopefully I’ll have that day off at least! New Course Coming Along: The new Practical Energy Work course prep is going great … although I’m a little delayed in having the… Read more »


A Note From Christina

Geez the summer is flying by. I feel like I get up, walk the dog, do some writing and reading, then the day is gone. The days are flying past. And I still have A LOT to do before the fall season of classes and coaching starts. No rest for the wicked I suppose! In… Read more »


A Note From Christina Merkley

Well, that’s a weird title for an eZine eh!? What the heck is “Primordial Energy Activation and Transcendence” or P.E.A.T. for short? Well, besides being a mouthful … it’s a fascinating modality I’ve been learning and the subject of this issue’s article (see further down in the eZine). I just officially wrapped my long season… Read more »
