Six ways to get the very best from your Amatsu session

Picture

You have called or sent an email to arrange your Amatsu session with me. It might be your first treatment or your fiftieth, but either way you have committed to setting aside time and money for your own health and wellbeing. Hurray! This is a great thing to do for yourself!
But, how can you maximise the effectiveness of the session so that you get the best possible results?
In this post, I would like to share six things that you can do for yourself to really get the most out of your Amatsu treatment:
1. Arrive hydrated 
Any suggestion of mine has to begin with a water mention! Why? Because it is THE most important thing you can do for your body. (Don’t believe me? Read this blog)
If you arrive hydrated you will get a head start on feeling better and it is much easier for me to find out the true issues you are experiencing as opposed to those coming up just because your body is thirsty.
2. Walk to see me
If you don’t live locally then it might be hard to do this, but if you drive or come by public transport, give yourself the opportunity to have a bit of a walk before and afterwards. Planning a  pre-session walk means that you will give yourself plenty of time and you won’t arrive to the session feeling too frazzled. The post-session walk allows your body to integrate the changes I have made more quickly and effectively.
3. Breeeathe
A few deep delicious breaths while you are walking (preferably not next to a busy road!) will soothe your nervous system and prepare you for your treatment. Breathe in for four counts, hold for two and breathe out for eight to clear out carbon dioxide from your body and invite in fresh oxygen.
4. Be prepared to be relaxed
Having a treatment offers you a brilliant opportunity to really switch off. I will be talking to you and asking you questions at some points in the treatment, but on the whole you can use this time to deeply let go. The treatment itself is very powerful, but if you are also deeply relaxed the benefits go through the roof! Turn off your phone before you come into the room and as you do so, consciously ‘turn off’ your to do list. This is time for you and your body. You will leave feeling as though you are floating
5. Take it easy
After a session try to stay ‘in the zone’ for a little time afterwards. Become aware of your body and don’t grab for your mobile to check messages or make a call straight away. What does your body feel like? What’s different? Tune in and enjoy the balancing effect that Amatsu has on your physical and mental state.
When you get home, drink some more water and eat simple and clean foods. Don’t exercise for 24 hours to allow your body to keep adjusting and recalibrating after the session.
6. Feel proud!
Feel really good about the fact that you have squeezed as much value as you can from your session!Until next time,

Lorna
