Please bring some water to drink.
​
Everyone is provided with an eye mask, yoga mat, blanket and pillow... but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer or would like extra warmth and comfort (recommended if you think you might get cold when lying down for a long period of time!).
If you would like to add something to the shared altar you are welcome to, such as a stone, keepsake or small token (this will be returned to you afterwards).
Arrival time
To create a calm, quiet space, we kindly ask that you arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time of the session to get settled in.
Once the session has begun, we aren’t able to admit late arrivals as we’ll already be moving into a relaxed and centred state together.
Setting an Intention for the Session
​It’s recommended to have an intention for the session, such as;
-
Something you’d like to release or let go of
-
A way you’d like to feel (ie relaxed, energised, focused)
-
A personal issue you’d like insight on
Just notice what comes up for you - there’s no pressure, whatever feels right is perfect.
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle type of energy work that helps your body relax and restore balance. You’ll receive Reiki before, during, and after the session - no action is needed on your part.
If you’re not comfortable receiving Reiki, please let us know beforehand.
