About
Hi, I'm Alison Tennen, the founder of Calm Down. Years ago, I began struggling with severe anxiety after a sudden loss of my amazing Dad. In my quest to find inner peace, I became a certified Yoga Instructor, Strategy Coach, Laughter Yoga Leader. I became a trained in Reiki and gave Oneness Blessings. Once I felt I made strides overcoming my own struggles, I became the founder of Calm Down to help others.
Much to my own surprise, after my father passed, I had some kind of a psychic opening as my intuition had become stronger and I began receiving messages in dreams and signs of all kinds on a regular basis.
I already had Degrees in Music, Education and Psychology and had a thriving business teaching piano before my life changed on a dime and I dove deep into personal development and countless healing modalities.
But then I hit another anxiety provoking situation when a few years ago, when my daughter became unwell.
One Sunday evening in October, we were eating pizza at my mom's when suddenly my daughter began crying because her stomach hurt. We rushed to the hospital only to be seated for hours among a sickly crowd with grim faces and this was the beginning of a long and grin.ing road.
Since my whole family is medical and I had a network of healers, I thought we could resolve things fairly quickly but I was wrong.
From that night forward, my daughter Leanne could not eat without agony and her emotions became unstable and unpredictable.
For four years, we visited several brilliant doctors and countless gifted health practitioners and healers. My daughter tried medications and meditations. She took remedies and tinkered with tinctures of essential oils. She tried tapping, yoga and a variety of different diets, remedies and supplements.
We saw a naturopath, an osteopath, a homeopath and tried every path we could think of and all the while, I watched my daughter's physical and mental health continue deteriorate. It was beyond concerning.
Then one day, I met a Qi energy practitioner at my chiropractor's office. I watched her give my daughter a treatment which resembled shiatsu but she made a sound with her breath as well. Twenty minutes later, she said she knew how to help my kid.
She explained that when one's energy is too low or blocked in any way, that when symptoms can occur.
What do the sessions do? They help to recharge one's energy and release tensions and toxins.
After a few sessions I was introduced to a deeper healing process which helped to clear heavy, inherited energy. I didn't need to understand fully, I just wanted it to work.
I had already invested so much time and money trying to help her heal and I wasn't about to give up anytime soon. So I tried this process called ancestor healing.
To my delight and amazement, I started to see my daughter become calmer and slowly her stomach issues resolved. She still has some chronic pain but good strides were made in resolving some symptoms. Over time, I noticed that many things began to improve. I had more energy, we were all getting along better and I was experiencing more serendipity in my life.
I now understand that our ancestors' energy affects us all positively and negatively. Since one's frequency remains unchanged after physical life, any ancestors who suffered trauma or hardship are vibrating at a lower frequency. Just like any tree, the vitality of the invisible roots impacts the rest of the tree as it is one inseparable unit. Our family tree is no different.
The energetic state of your ancestors can unknowingly affect you mentally, physically, financially and karmically because you attract what you vibrate. When you change this fundamental vibration, it can positively impact your health, opportunities and even your relationships.
I also discovered that when families merge, ancestors do too and this invisible, extended energetic network of influences often affect your family's wellbeing.
While we live and operate in a visible, physical, material world, few seem to realize that all things manifest from the unseen world, just like flowers that sprout from the ground.
If someone in your family is struggling with an addiction, health challenge or if you'd like to remedy your kid's behaviour, processing skills, mental health it's important to note that the root cause of many conditions are actually energetically inherited. Who knew?
I come from a very medical, academic family but when I witnessed the profound recovery ancestor healing had on my daughter, it made me want to get the word out and shout from the rooftops because I'll never forget the agony of seeing my daughter in such pain and feeling like nothing and nobody could help her after trying so many things.
I was so impressed in fact, it led me to take my next step toward transformation, my biggest and boldest... and in May of 2019, I went to S. Korea to become a Qi Energy Master.
Now I'm qualified to give virtual Qi energy treatments and I can connect you to a Sr. Master if you're interested in the other services they provide, virtually and potentially in person.
So while I continue to develop my skills and cultivate myself and help my students and clients get into a vibrational calmer state through virtual coaching, Qi energy treatments and through my piano teaching biz, I wonder about you...how are you managing in these crazy times?
