Once the session has finished before you let go of the person, take a moment and relax. This sounds like a silly little step and most people rush this and they take their moment to relax after they disconnect but I urge you to do it this way first. The reason being is sharing energy and moving energy through somebody’s body is not only a very intimate but a personal experience and having that connection flow through them for them sometimes can be quite overwhelming. Once you have concluded the flow of energy through their body or that focused point of energy within them, allowing your energy and the energy that flows through you to relax while staying connected to them will stop that from feeling like a rubber band breaking when you let go. It will actually feel like a relaxing moment or a stillness in the water taking them one step down at a time from an overwhelming feeling to a relaxing, still feeling and then to the disconnect feeling. It is not only much kinder for them and a far better way to end the session, but it also is a kindness to yourself. And yes, that too is important! Being able to settle into that stillness of energy within yourself allows you the space to start to be able to disconnect and relax as well. I have even gone as far to teach some people that in their mind to repeat themself when they are done “The healing is complete.” Not because that is the trigger for the healing to stop but that is the affirmation for themself to know what they have done is now concluded. Once you release your hands from the person, I usually ask them to just lay still and relax for one to two minutes and to take their time before sitting up straight. As the Healer I will often move to the side of the bed and assist them with sitting up when they are ready. Coming from a very overwhelming positive wonderful experience, sometimes sitting up too quickly can leave them with a bit of a head rush or some dizziness, so being by their side to offer a little bit of stability until their feet return underneath them is always good practice.

 The next stage we usually teach is the debrief section. Now this section is truly optional, and you’ll find it becomes less and less important to you as the Healer with the more confidence you gain. However, in the beginning, it’s a nice affirmation to listen to the story of what they felt and what is different within their body. This section is completely optional unless the person feels the need to share which can happen with some frequency, especially if it is that person’s first time being healed. This is where I recommend usually a hot cup of tea or some sort of beverage to sip on as the person then describes to you the experience from their perspective. You may also choose to share different things that you have felt or things that stuck out to you, so they also understand a little more of your perspective. This too is a wonderful section to bring up anything else that you might find being important regarding the healing especially if there’s other work to do or things to look at that they may or may not have been causing themselves. As I spoke about in the earlier chapter this conversation should be held with as much grace and patience as possible. Make sure when you’re scheduling your appointments there’s always a buffer time afterwards that you can be flexible with and capitalize on, should you find the need.
