It’s important to be kind to yourself after a Spinal Energetics treatment. This will allow yourself the space and time to heal. We recommend grounding activities such as meditation, gentle breathwork, journalling, walking, yoga and connecting with nature. Eat wholesome foods. It’s important to drink plenty of water, rest and do something that you love!
Being aware of the possible effects is important. It’s not uncommon to notice:
- Feeling disoriented or lightheaded.
- Feeling more energised or feeling exhausted
- Detoxification experiences such as nausea.
- Change in bowel movements or headaches
- Greater awareness of your body
- Emotional releases like crying, laughing, anger
- Changes in breath during and after sessions
- Regions of ease or discomfort
Honour whatever comes up for you after a Spinal Energetics treatment. You may want to avoid certain people or events. If you want to go to bed early, go for it! If you want or don’t want to eat something in particular. Follow and trust yourself, you are your greatest teacher.
It takes time for our bodies to process the unwinding of tension and to reorganise itself. You will continue to respond to your session 12-72 hours sometimes longer.
After my second Spinal Energetics session, I started to experience more movement with stronger emotional releases. I have so much resistance, tensing and contractions in my session. I was definitely sore the next day, like I had gone to the gym! I also had some involuntary twitches laying in bed, which is completely normal.
All of these experiences are signs of your body integrating the healing you’ve been through. Over time, a deeper level of integration can take place too.
The importance of integration with Spinal Energetics
Integration is where the magic happens and is the most important part of receiving Spinal Energetics. This is where we integrate our experience into our day to day lives. It may look like making more positive, healthy decisions and altering your lifestyle to align with your higher self.
Spinal Energetics has helped me bring the unconscious conscious during integration, it’s helped me cognitively realise and release these patterns.
My first lesson that really resonated in my development path, was feeling empowered by understanding that I am solely responsible for how I think and feel. I threw away the victim mentality and never looked back. I now embrace how I act, react and show up. I focus on what I can control.
I made significant changes in my life that were painful. I realised that I had to leave my partner, move house and start again from scratch. I was able to see that I was giving so much of myself to live someone else’s life. It wasn’t truly what I wanted. Another part of that story was having the courage and feeling confident in using my voice. Learning not to “people please” and feeling the power of my own voice. I matter, My voice matters.
I started to make decisions without doubt and fear. Decisions made with my inner knowing and intuition guiding me. I enrolled in that course! I left that relationship! I made that boundary with that person! I spoke my truth!
Each Spinal Energetics treatment will be different for you
Each treatment is a different experience and involves both the physical and energetic body, it works with a different layer in your nervous system. Some treatments you may move more then others and some you might have a bigger release then others. Think of it like peeling away layers of an onion. Honour your body and allow the shifts to happen. You also don’t need to overthink and try to make cognitive sense from the experience. The purpose is to lean into the bodily sensations and allow your body to unwind naturally.
