Session Prep

Things to consider before our virtual session including Mind, Room, and Tech Settings.

#1

Mind Setting

INTENTION

Have an intention ready for the session by answering the following question: "How do I want to feel after the session?"

EXPECTATIONS

Vivid visualizations are not expected for a session, not everyone sees things clearly, some people simply have a sense of knowing

CURIOSITY

During the session your conscious mind might try to judge the information you're receiving, curiosity is the easiest way to access a state of surrender

SPACIOUSNESS

If possible, give yourself plenty of time to relax before and after the session, allow this time of self care to feel spacious

CAFFEINE

It's best to avoid caffeine as it may lead to feelings of jitteriness and anxiousness, which can hinder the needed relaxation

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

The use of drugs and alcohol is not permitted before the session

#2

Room Setting

COMFORT

Prepare your space so that it feels good to you, preferably an area where you can be comfortably seating or laying down (like a bed or a couch); if seated make sure you have head and neck support

ROOM BRIGHTNESS

Make sure the room is not too bright nor too dark. For sessions that take place later in the day and/or stretch into the evening, have adequate lighting set up in place
