Frequently people feel very relaxed, and often quite tired after a healing session. This is completely normal, and if sessions typically affect you in this way, its always best to plan one when you know you have time to have some down time! Tiredness happens for a couple of reasons:
- if you are highly stressed in your day to day life, and you are finally taking a break
- not sleeping adequately for even a short period of time, your body wants to catch up
- and most importantly, because your body is healing and it needs the time and space to continue to do so.
Our bodies are amazing healers, we just don't give ourselves the time to let that happen. Which is the reason why us healers exist. When you are feeling like you need a nap after a session, its your body's way of letting you know that the healing that happened on the table, needs a little more time to sink and settle in, and really create healthy change. Resting is what supports and allows for this change to occur. Do your best to listen to, and honor your body during this time, and rest as much as you need to!
