Why You Don’t Always Feel Good After a Healing Session

There have been times in my life when I expected to feel better after a healing session.

Sometimes that expectation was met and I would feel light, elated, and like I was on top of the world.

And sometimes…I felt worse than I did before.

In those moments, fear would take a hold of me.
I would think something went wrong.
I would tell myself that I shouldn’t feel this way.

The truth is:

It doesn’t mean something went wrong.
It often means something deeper was moving.

What was held beneath the surface became available to be felt, processed, and released.

With time, I learned that my body was dislodging, purging, and alchemizing old layers: old emotions, old energies, old beliefs.

And if you feel physical discomfort after a healing session, it’s completely normal.

Emotions you might label as “negative” can rise to the surface.

If they do, don’t resist them.
Let them move. Let them express.

If you feel tired, let yourself rest.

And here are some gentle ways to support your integration after a healing session:

• If movement feels right…move.
  Go for a walk, do yoga, or move in any way your body wants to move.

• If you can, take a bath with Epsom salts.

• Try free-form writing to let the energy move through you.

• Ground your energy: place your feet on the Earth and allow yourself to settle.

• Drink lots of water

• Do your best not to overanalyze what you’re experiencing.
  It’s a phase and it’s temporary.

This process can last anywhere from an hour to several days…sometimes up to a week.

Be gentle with yourself during this time, as your energetic system is recalibrating.

Have you ever noticed this happening after your healing session?
