A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. Energy work sessions work primarily with the energy of the body more then with the physical body. Some sessions will require very little physical touch.
What will the energy work feel like?
Energy work sessions will be very relaxing. Some clients indicate tingling or body temperature changes during the session. Some clients are relaxed enough to sleep. Each session will be unique to you.
Are there different kinds of energy work?
There are numerous types of energy work; various techniques utilize different strokes and techniques, re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.
What should I do during the energy work session?
Prior to the energy work, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the energy work, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
How will I feel after the energy work session?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during an energy session, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your session.
What are the benefits of energy work?
Energy work can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Energy work is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.
Are there any medical conditions that would make energy work inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for energy work, massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.
