Chapter 8: Yin And Yang Healing Sessions
Synopsis

Most sessions usually begin with some primary movements to make the individual comfortable and relaxed. These may or may not include having music played softly in the background.
Once the body is relaxed, the individual will feel the slow release of tension and this will help to further clear whatever other negative energetic blocks at a cellular level.
Some sessions may include deep breathing exercises to settle the otherwise busy mind. It is also not unusual to have some sessions using mantras as the vital energy centers in the body - chakras, are associated with specific sounds which "wake" the body and stimulate these centers.
When using the reiki style to transfer or regulate the chi in the body, sometimes heat pad are used for the warmth.
Other examples are the fundamentals of the Taoist approach. Here the yin and yang is taught as a system of recognizing how to separate out patterns in our daily life, and its connection to the surroundings, while all the time learning to accept and work with the energies to create the desired balance.
