ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: Are there harmful (or any) side effects?
A: There are no standard "side-effects" from receiving energy healing, as each session is individuated for each person, every time: every session is different and unique to the person when we are working together. Over the years, the most common things felt following a first session are:
Q: What does it feel like? Is it uncomfortable?
A: Energy sessions generally do not cause pain; you may feel sensations of energy opening up in your body -- tingling, effervescent sensations, warmth, "goose-bumps", gentle sudden releases through arms, hands or legs, dreamy/meditative states or falling asleep. Typically people feel relaxed, possibly tired. Sometimes a CST session brings sensation to the head and neck from the subtle shifts and adjustments structurally.
Q: What can I expect to experience in a general energy session?
A: The client stays fully clothed and lies on a very comfortable massage table. The practitioner palpates with a light touch and fingertips, certain energy points on or along the body following energy meridians/pathways, and sometimes uses whole-hand light palpation along the spine or on the body.
Sessions last 90 mins for adults and anywhere from 30 mins to an hour for children and adolescents. Marilee always provides a few minutes at the start for check-in conversation or to offer suggestions regarding the person's specific health or personal wellness concerns, and a few minutes at the end of the session to share information from the session as needed. The healing space is peaceful, safe and beautiful and provides a welcoming place of healing to all who enter.
