Welcome to your your IM Experience!

Welcome, dear Inquiry Meditator!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to your homecoming to your body.

Welcome to palpable and bodily felt relief--and joy. Welcome to more joy.

And welcome to your transformation, because the Inquiry Meditation Experience--the powerhouse first session of IM--is transformational!

During your Inquiry Meditation Experience:

You will feel palpable and bodily felt relief around whatever pain has brought you here.

This relief will expand and settle during your post-session integration. And this relief will last.

You will gain powerful and helpful insights into your pain--why it shows up in your life as it does, and exactly how to heal it.

And you will learn the IM mechanism and other strategies that you can immediately begin apply independently and with confidence.

If you find you have questions after your Experience, I'm happy to offer guidance.

In the meantime, I am very glad you are here in this right now.

On this page, I will tell you more about your upcoming Inquiry Meditation Experience.

Please see all preparation information below.

II Session Preparation

Please make sure you have the following ready–you may or may not use everything, but it’s great to have on hand just in case:

-A pen or pencil and some paper to take notes (or a notebook or journal)

-Some tissue in case there are any tears (perfectly normal to shed some alchemical tears--they are one of many ways the body sheds old stuff it no longer needs. Also perfectly normal to have no tears.)

-A pillow or something soft and comforting to hold

-A beverage. Meditators often find it helpful to replenish with water, tea, or juice during the session.

-Also, pee ahead of time:).

III Our IM practice will be gentle!

Our practice will be very gentle. IM by nature is extraordinarily gentle. In fact, the premise of IM is that gentleness, softness, slowness, sweetness: this is the most powerful way to effect change. (It's true.) This is how I intend for you to feel all throughout and after!

Please note that you may feel gently fatigued after your Experience.

You might not, but if you do, it's completely normal. The reason is that being with yourself in this manner is a (nonphysical) muscle you may or may not be used to exercising.

IV Time Immediately After Your IM Experience

If you can, please schedule time afterward, 30-60 min, to yourself--to stretch, rest, journal, take a walk. No worries if you can't do this, though. I get that even scheduling the Experience can be a lot! But if you're able to schedule in a bit of "down/integration" time afterward, awesome.

V Post-IM Experience Integration

Speaking of "down/integration" time: Just as important as the energy you move during your IM Experience, is your continued, post-session integration of that energy.

As much happens during the session: the real shift occurs in the hours and days after the session.

I cannot emphasize this point enough!!!

Here is a link to a document called Post-Session Integration Information. Feel free to read it before the session as well.

Annnnd that's about it!

Really excited for our work together, and see you soon!
