The Inner Journey Guide

Listed below appointed on enhancing your treatment sessions. By following any or all of the suggestions, you will be optimizing the healing potential within you, and your response to each treatment will be maximized. 

 -The fascial voice experience: 
Scan your body before, during, and after treatment feeling for areas of heat, tingling, or tightness. Look for reddened areas. Report any findings to Danielle at the next treatment session. This provides her with important information about areas that may need treatment.

-Breath work:
Breathe into your area of pain or the area being treated. Visualise a tube going right to the area and breathe through the tube into the pain or into the part of your body being stretched.

-Awareness:
Sync your awareness into the pain through feeling, not thought.  Allow the area to feel like sinking sand. Do this by feeling the inside of your body in that same area, scan your whole body to feel the connections to other areas. Ask yourself where does this connect internally? Allow these areas to soften like butter melting or taffy pulling. Imagine more space in this area. Provide feedback to Danielle.

-Unwinding:
Your body may feel the urge to move during treatment. Allow any spontaneous motion to occur. Danielle will protect and guide you through the motion. This motion is your own inherent self-correcting mechanism - the wisdom of your body.

-Emotions:
Emotions are a natural response to this treatment. Be willing to tune in and allow any emotions you may experience during or after treatment to surface. Our bodies hold emotions in our fascial system like a storage tank, until we are ready to release them. Sometimes the body holds them in a form we call pain. We encourage full expression of all emotions to help your structure release and achieve optimal health.

-Images/memories:
Images or memories may float into your consciousness during or after a treatment as they are being released from your tissues. Consider sharing these feelings with Danielle as it will aid in her ability to guide you through your healing process.

Dialogue:
Danielle may ask you questions throughout your treatment. When answering, only allow the response to come from the area of your body being worked on and not from your head. You do not need to have an understanding of your response or of any emotion that may surface. you always have the option to not answer any question. Never force an answer.

-Language:
Listen to the messages you'll give yourself and everyday life. The “I cant’s”,  “should have”, “I never”, etc. Provide positive messages “I'm getting better and better everyday in every way!”

-Zigzag:
People do not improve straight away. Progress occurs in a zigzag fashion. When you flare-up or have a setback, allow yourself to feel and experience the frustration first and then keep your eyes on your goals. Life and healing our journey— uphill, downhill, around corners, and in circles.  We may even take wrong turns. it still provides us with direction. Sometimes the body is clearing out deeper levels of restrictions for a greater sense of health!

-Goals:
Visualise your goal and as much detail as you can imagine. Include a frame for your goal as much as your body will, then support yourself in accomplishing this achievement. Goals are adaptable. Allow it to be something you enjoy doing.

Pain is simply a signal or message that your body is trying to give you. “It says hey!, Listen to me!.” We want you to consider becoming a friend to your pain. Allow your pain to be your teacher. In other words, open to the lessons available in your body and mind and it will guide you to freedom and health. Remember, most of all  ***Enjoy the ride*** it's the Journey of your LIFE !!
