What is spinal energetics?
Spinal Energetics is a nervous system regulation technique. I often say, if talk therapy is for the mind then spinal energetics is for the body. We will be working with the nervous system and your electromagnetic field to release tension from the body and the neuropathways that are communicating the signal for tension.
This is not a "one and done" kind of experience.
The aim is feeling that it is finally a safe environment to heal and get out of patterns of tension that have been running for years or even decades.
Sessions are often recommended closer together in the beginning and as the nervous system comes more into balance the sessions will start being spread out. (Packages available)
Energy Healing is a more intuitive healing experience. Using intuitive gifts, Shalane will give you guidance based on the state of your energetic body. When there are imbalances in the energetic body is when you experience pain, suffering, and dis-ease.
Using the chakra system derived from Ayurvedic tradition and meridians from the Traditional Chinese Medicine lineage, Shalane will bring balance ot your energetic body, give you spiritual guidance and provide steps to help maintain your energy in between sessions.
What to expect
You really don't need to "do" much. This is a process where you tap into your innate healing wisdom, so just like you don't tell your heart to beat or intestines to digest, you don't need to prepare the body to do what it innately knows, however....
I recommend not having much on your plate for the rest of the day that might be stressful.
You could also come with an intention of what you would like to work through or what you are currently experiencing, but it's not necessary to know what you're working through in order for your body to work through what is most necessary for you right now.
Everyone's experience is different but this is a somatic practice, so connecting the mind and body to feel safe and present.
You may notice change in body temperature, movement or shaking of the body as it release, crying, changing in breath, the desire to make noises.
In Spinal Energetics specifically, you may feel a desire to move (kind of like an urge to stretch) and this is a sign that your body is trying to release a pattern of tension, so feel free to move.
It might look something like a yoga pose, a stretch, or a bit of shaking. All are perfectly normal.
You may also experience a deep relaxation and not much externally. All is valid.
In all sessions the aim if always to bring the body into a more harmonious state.
My clients often say things like...
I just feel lighter, in a better mood.
I have clarity and motivation that I didn't have in months.
My body feels so much less tight.
The tension feels like it melted away from my neck.
My pain has almost vanished.
The range is wide but when you allow your body to have a safe space to process life experiences, things can change physically, emotionally and energetically..
Be kind with yourself post session. The residue of the experience can last for 72 hours.
Shalane has been in the health or beauty industry for her entire adult life. From helping people feel good on the outside with hair, makeup and lashes in the salon to teaching yoga and offering healing practices, serving others is in her blood.
She is currently enrolled in a PhD program to receive her doctorate in integrative medicine from Quantum University in Hawaii.
She has also been an entrepreneur for over a decade and one of her favorite things to help people work through is how they can heal so they can build a business that is aligned with their gifts and talents.
When she not out there helping others you'll catch her at a yoga class, traveling to exotic places with her retreat company Rechaka Retreats, or with her husband and two kids.
She says she's currently in her "sports mom" era so most likely she'll be cheering on one of her kids at one of their games with a decaf coffee in hand.
