10-19-2016 The day after 10-19-2016, I sent the following email out to ten women. The responses were so rich, that I wanted to share the whole experience. Much gratitude for those who participated in this exercise. I feel that we already accomplished some movement. “yesterday i felt a subtle change in the energy field particularly around the feminine consciousness shifting back into the main stream awareness. i thought there might be some world event or news that would reflect this yesterday but i have not heard anything. so it remains just a very strong feeling that i am having and some collaboration from a few other intuitive people. but they are not getting anything as strongly as i am. but i feel we need to give more awareness to the feminine energy overall right now. and the thing that came up towards the end of the day most and this…
Two separate people in the last two days told me that I practice Intuitive Healing and Intuitive Listening. Apparently that is what people say about my practice. I still get nervous about making that kind of information public. I am cautious of getting stigmatized as a quack. The cultivation of my career over the last decade and one half has been exactly like I thought it would be and at the same time nothing like I thought it would be. I named this practice,Transpersonal Acupuncture, with a specific holistic healing process in mind. It took me about a decade to really administer the type of treatments that I had envisioned. Not that my early work was not of high quality. It is just much more potent now. I can see a lot more quickly where the work is needed, I have better people skills, and clinical experience goes a long…
I can let the waves wash over me or I can fight the old story line. Keep up the self-talk and remind myself that it is ok that I am broken. I have faults and make mistakes. I can still give and receive love and continuing living life. There is a skill to choosing in the moment. Especially when the feeling of trauma clouds clear decision making. First I remind myself to take a moment and ground myself in my body. I say to myself that I can not always believe what I think because it is not always real. Old belief systems instilled in my youth, do not apply to my life as an adult. I feel the emotions, the pain they drag up. I stay as long as I can and then I try to let go of my attachment to the old pattern. Fear spikes again here,…
Consciousness is an ever present energy that has existed in abundance throughout all of time. It makes an appearance at every juncture of energy transformation on the planet. The light of consciousness can be perceived anytime that something changes from one form to another. Here are a few examples: A sperm and egg uniting. Regeneration and multiplication of cells. A seed unfurling roots into the ground to absorb nutrients and sending leaves up to the surface to utilize the energy of the sun. Chemical transformation. Condensation and evaporation of water. An active imagination, the spark of an idea, dreaming. The art of loving, healing and magic. Dying and the process of decay. This energy is alive and patterned in the form of webs, that reach out through time, weave in and out of matter, and are completely interconnected. Trauma is a disruption in the continuum of consciousness, a break or…
“Working with Jipala Kagan for over ten years has been and continues to be transformative. Jipala is a gifted practitioner and her treatments and insight have allowed me to become a more whole hearted, compassionate and resilient human being. Her wisdom had allowed me to recognize the effect that early trauma has played in my life and her acupuncture treatments help integrate new healthier responses to environmental triggers. I am deeply grateful for her presence in my life.” A.D
The popularity of alternative health care is growing. There is a lot more information about supplements and spiritual practices in the main stream media. Advertisers are using the concepts of spirituality to sell products and to promote their services. Even some Western medical practitioners are selling supplements and suggesting dietary changes. This could be seen as the long awaited integration of alternative and allopathic healthcare models. There is a lot of money to be made in the sales of health products and services. The incorporation of spiritual language is enticing to the population of people between 20 and 40 years of age. Health care providers can market themselves and their products, making their information accessible to a large consumer audience. There are authentic and non-authentic practitioners practicing. Different healing modalities can reach individuals through myriads of avenues. What defines genuine healing? The article entitled In the Service of Life,…
Jipala Kagan is a masterful healer. This is because her work is directed towards the whole person. Her acupuncture treatments address progressive levels or layers of being– acute physical symptoms, chronic imbalances, and the deeper, subtler level of the soul. My experience is that, over time, she strives to see the inner being of her patient, and through tacit energetic tuning, coaxes that subtle body towards a state of attunement allowing vitality to flow more fully into all the areas and activities of life.

I could see it when someone was passing me on the street, at social gatherings or with my individual patients. These people would look fragmented, spaced out, or like pieces of their energetic shell were missing or malformed. This is what it looked like. The woman walking across the street would have a big blank spot over her face. The man at the party was dull from waist down, from torso up he was all twisted and bound up at his throat. The man in the post office was turned within himself, like an inside out hooded sweatshirt all bunched up. The woman behind the counter had energy that formed a fog swamp and leaked around her. The man in my office was sitting besides himself. I looked for answers to unravel these mysterious patterns and I became better acquainted with this tricky masquerading form of energy. And then…
Published in New Awakenings Magazine September 2015 Centuries ago, women’s health care, and childbearing in particular, were a female dominated field with women healers and midwives. However events such as witch hunts in early modern Europe and North America paved the way for a different, more linear, pragmatic model of medical care. That period in history is an example of the many shifts in medicine, and the pattern of changing health care, that has occurred cyclically throughout history. The movement away from consciousness oriented healing and towards intellect dominated health management happens over and over again Advances in health care are extremely useful and necessary in our health care system; there have been many revolutionary advances in science and medicine. But what would the state of health care be in today’s world if there had not been so many historical rifts in the development of modern medicine? Would…
Water Time Frost on the wind shield in the morning, geese flocking South, the cold is upon us; Winter is coming. Time to go underground. “Once again, we find the pattern characteristic of all initiations: planning of the expected journey; the invitation to the unknown; the placing of trust in the situation and in the one who initiates; the loss of the known and the entry into the unknown; the loss of personal identity; the fear of the initiation; facing the fear; active surrender; the epiphany; the restoration of personal identity; the return to the known world, this time with more spiritual understanding and lived knowledge; the long integration of the experience into daily life. These are developmental steps we face if we actively surrender to the call of our soul.” Jill Mellick from Coming Home to Myself The two main concepts that encapsulate the time of water are darkness…
