We are constantly subjected to information from the outside world on how we should act, react, and feel. I hope that your session will make you feel wonderful. However, it is natural for you to shrug off changes that seem to come from the outside. The only way to convince your body and energy systems that you do want to feel differently, is to keep invoking that new feeling through your homework.
Please tell me though if the homework I set feels like too much. We can always adapt it to fit better with your home or work life.
'Energy' or Muscle' testing can be the Holy Grail for some people, and a rather thorny issue for others. If you don't like it yet - don't panic - there are many ways to test or self-test, and different methods suit different people. If you want to look into this at home, you could visit Madison King's free resources on self-testing. Or you can have your free taster on self-testing and I'll show you how helpful it is for testing your foods or supplements - or getting to the root of a problem yourself.
I'm stretching the meaning of FAQ here, but you may still be interested in the answer! I particularly love to offer treatments to my various teachers when I can, also others who are carers in some way. They are often surprised at how gentle I am. That's deliberate - I'm a rock climber so I am strong and I know exactly how much pressure I'm applying. When you approach the body slowly, gently and firmly, you don't provoke the resistance that can otherwise come up unexpectedly, and you can establish something of a 'dialogue'. Our bodies and energy systems do an amazing job at keeping us alive, and moving, and they need to be treated with respect for that. Please always tell me when you feel like you would like more or less pressure, it is completely normal for that to change within a session.
If you don't like to be touched at all that is fine. You also don't need to lie down if you don't want to. You can tell me about your wishes, and we can use e.g. the pendulum test to see how best to address it through techniques that you can use yourself. I prefer to see people in person, but I have successfully helped others over the phone and on Zoom so we could start with that if that is what you need.
