What Happens in an Energy Healing Session — From the Moment You Arrive

By Sheila Marina, Planet of Peace Energy Healing

The most common thing I hear from someone before their first session is this:

“I have no idea what to expect.”

Good. You are in the right place. And this post is for you — a quiet walk through what actually happens, from the first moment to the last, so that when you arrive you can simply be present rather than wondering what comes next.

Tell Me Everything

Whether you are sitting across from me in Bowmanville or appearing on my Zoom screen from anywhere in the world, the session begins the same way.

After brief introductions, I say three words:

“Tell me everything.”

This is an invitation, and it is as wide as it sounds. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you choose. Some clients speak for five minutes. Some speak for an hour or more. Some arrive with a specific issue they want to address. Others arrive knowing only that something feels off — a weight, a pattern, a feeling they have been carrying — and they let the words find their own shape as they speak.

Here is something worth knowing: you do not have to share anything in order to receive the same quality of healing. The subconscious mind holds everything. It knows exactly what is present and what is ready to be addressed. Your willingness to be in the room — or on the screen — is enough.

And yet, many clients tell me afterward that the talking at the beginning was the best part of the entire session. Because for some people, it is the first time in a very long time that someone has said tell me everything — and meant it. With no time limit. With no agenda. With nowhere to be except right here, listening.

That conversation is where trust is built. And trust is the foundation everything else rests upon.

The Session — Following Your Body’s Intelligence

When the conversation arrives at its natural close, we transition into the energetic work. This is where the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code — the structured systems developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson — come into practice.

Here is what this looks like, simply and honestly:

I use muscle testing — a gentle biofeedback technique — to communicate with your subconscious mind. Through a series of charts, your body’s own intelligence guides us to exactly what is present and ready to be addressed. I follow where it leads. Nothing is invented, assumed, or imposed.

What we find varies from person to person and from session to session. Trapped emotions — specific emotional frequencies that became lodged in the body rather than completing their natural cycle. Physical misalignments caused or maintained by unresolved emotional energy. Inherited patterns passed through your family line, sometimes across many generations. Imbalances in the body’s energetic systems — meridians, chakras, organs — that are connected to the emotional material being held.

Each finding is identified with precision: the specific emotion, the age it was acquired or inherited, and the area of the body where it has been living. Then it is released — gently, through a series of energetic passes — and the space it occupied is cleared.

For some clients, the findings are surprising. A woman who came in to address anxiety discovered that the root was an inherited emotion from her maternal grandmother, 23 generations ago. A man who came to discuss his marriage found that his body offered up a frozen elbow from a sports injury at age 14 — holding emotions from a completely different season of his life. The body has its own priorities, and they are often wiser than what the conscious mind would have chosen.

Throughout the session, I explain everything as it unfolds. You are never in the dark about what is being found or what is being released. The process is transparent, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your body’s pace.

The Belief Code — Messages From Your Own Chakras

Sessions often conclude with the Belief Code — and this is the part that many clients find most moving.

After the trapped emotions have been identified and released, spaces remain where those energies once lived. The Belief Code works with your chakra system to fill those spaces with something true — a positive statement, chosen by your own subconscious mind, delivered through the specific chakra that is ready to receive it.

These statements arrive with remarkable precision. A woman whose solar plexus had been holding the belief “others have power over me” since age nine received the replacement: “I exercise my personal power for good.” A client whose heart chakra had been carrying inherited grief received: “I find love and love finds me.” A woman in her late fifties, after releasing a cascade of trapped emotions from a betrayal at age 56, received from her crown chakra: “I am true to my higher self.”

These are your words. From the deepest part of you, to you, at exactly the moment you were ready to hear them.

I share each statement aloud as it surfaces. Many clients ask me to repeat it. Some write it down immediately. Some simply close their eyes and breathe it in.

After the Session — Your Written Report

Within 24 hours of your session, you receive a detailed written report documenting everything that was found, everything that was released, and every belief statement that was installed. This report is yours to keep — a meaningful record of the work, and something many clients return to in the days and weeks that follow as the healing continues to unfold.

Because the healing does continue. The session opens the door. The body’s intelligence walks through it at its own pace, reorganizing and integrating in the hours, days, and sometimes weeks that follow. Many clients report shifts in sleep, in energy, in how they respond to familiar situations — changes that arrive gently and then remain.

What Clients Say Most Often Afterward

Three things come up again and again:

“I feel lighter.” This is the most common response, across hundreds of sessions. A physical sense of something having been set down.

“How did you know that?” The precision of the findings often surprises clients — the specific ages, the specific emotions, the connections to experiences they had never spoken about aloud. The answer is always the same: your body knew. I simply followed where it led.

“I had no idea I was carrying that.” This is the one that moves me most. The realization that something has been influencing your life, your health, your patterns — silently, for years or decades — and you simply had no framework for recognizing it until now.

You Are Welcome Here — Exactly As You Are

If you have been curious about energy healing — reading, researching, wondering whether it might help — I want you to know something: you already have everything you need to begin. You do not need to understand the process completely. You do not need to arrive with a clear problem or a specific goal. You do not need to believe in anything other than the possibility that your body is holding something worth listening to.

If you are interested in understanding the nervous system science that supports this work, my interview Why Lasting Emotional Change Begins with the Nervous System offers a grounded exploration of how emotional release creates lasting physiological change.

When you are ready, sessions are available in person in Bowmanville and Toronto, and worldwide via Zoom.

Tell me everything. Or tell me nothing. Either way — your body already knows where to begin.
