Advocating for my Needs with Ease [Energy Healing]

Description 

People who are able to advocate for their needs experience deeper relationship satisfaction. This workshop uses a combination of EFT (emotional freedom technique), breath work, meditation and masturbation to free up blocked energy that gets in the way of being able to advocate for your needs.

Trauma gets stored in the body on a subconscious level. To release it, you must leave your logic brain and tap into the subconscious energy field around the body.

The energy healing starts off with EFT tapping, which Forest will guide you through. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) touches along the energy highways along the body to awaken dormant energy leftover from unprocessed trauma.

Now that your energy field is feeling more light and expansive, we’ll transition into a guided meditation that will help your mind/body integrate the shift into a new paradigm. The meditation will help you feel grounded in yourself so that you can expand your stretch zone and explore new possibilities.

Now that your energy is freed up and your body is feeling relaxed, we will solidify the work we’ve already done with a guided masturbation (cameras off). The end goal here is not orgasm. Rather, the guided masturbation serves as a mindfulness meditation. [Not all meditation requires you to sit silently on the ground]. Forest will coach you on how to use your breath to anchor you (in sync with instrumental music) as you slowly awaken the body and feel the energy circulating throughout your entire system. The guided masturbation focuses on balancing yin and yang energy, which will help you integrate all of the energy work we’ve done thus far.

 What You’ll Walk Away With 

You’ll walk away feeling light and refreshed. You might even notice an afterglow the following day. During the energy healing, you’ll notice a physical release from your body, which can show up in many ways (crying, burping, yawning, farting, etc.)

Even though you might not notice it on a conscious level, the body will have processed a lot of emotions. Make sure to stay hydrated afterwards and avoid high stimulation environments and activities.

 Forest’s Approach 

Forest believes that healing doesn’t always have to be “work”. It can also be play (if you let it!). Healing is a lifelong journey. There’s no finish line. If you’re waiting until you’re fully healing to allow yourself to let loose and be silly, you’re gonna be holding your breath to your grave! When you allow yourself to enter the energetic state of play (creativity + curiosity) you are signaling to your body that you are safe, which helps your nervous system return to a state of homeostasis, which is inherently healing! As we process what might be difficult or heavy emotions, we will balance it out with silliness (channeling our inner child) and connecting with each other in between activities.

FAQ

Um...Will People be Nakey? 

Take a deep breath, bb. We won’t be nude on camera. As we approach the guided masturbation, folks will turn their cameras off. Forest will guide you with his camera (and clothes) on.

 Lube + Toys 

Lube + toys are optional. If you like using lube, then let there be lube! If you don’t masturbate with lube, that’s cool too! You are the expert of your own body. Do what you need to enjoy yourself :) If that means finishing yourself off with a toy, you’re more than welcome to bring a toy - though this guided masturbation will not incorporate toys.
