What is the “processing period”?
After we release trapped emotions, imbalances, or limiting beliefs with The Emotion Code,® The Body Code,™, or The Belief Code, your body shifts. The processing period is the gentle window where those changes integrate. Some people feel a lot. Others feel very little. Both are normal.
During this time, your subconscious often signals “not now” to additional releases. If you muscle test “Is there another trapped emotion I can clear right now?” and get a No, honor it. That’s your system doing its job.
My intention for each client is to provide safe release, compassionate pacing, and clear guidance—so your body can do what it was designed to do: heal.
How long does processing last?
Most people process for 2–3 days. For some, it’s shorter. For others, a bit longer. It varies by:
- How much was released
- Your current physical, mental, and emotional load
- Your natural sensitivity to energy work
If you tend to be highly sensitive, plan extra rest and hydration. If anything feels intense or prolonged, reach out—I’m here to help you navigate it.
Common experiences you might notice
You may experience one, some, or none of these:
- Waves of tiredness, then energy (or the reverse)
- Hunger shifts or low appetite
- Mild aches or a headache
- Emotions moving through—tears, relief, lightness
- Temporary sensations like warmth, tingling, or pressure
- Deeper sleep or vivid dreams
- Periods of mental clarity and intuitive hits
- Or…nothing unusual at all
Everybody integrates differently. What matters is listening and supporting yourself.
Gentle aftercare: how to support body, mind, and spirit
1) Hydrate generously
Energy work can be dehydrating. Aim for steady water intake throughout the day. A pinch of mineral salt or a squeeze of lemon can help absorption.
2) Rest without guilt
Prioritize sleep. Build in short pauses. Ten quiet breaths between tasks goes a long way.
3) Nourish well
Choose simple, colorful, nutrient-dense meals. Think warm soups, leafy greens, clean proteins, and fruit.
4) Move softly
Keep things gentle: walking, stretching, restorative yoga, tai chi. Movement helps energy circulate.
5) Listen inward
Ask, “What do I need right now?” Then do that—whether it’s a nap, a bath, journaling, or calling a trusted friend.
Tiny Habits® recipe for the processing period
Use this simple loop to stay steady while you integrate.
- Anchor: After I pour my morning water,
- Behavior (tiny): I’ll place one hand on my heart and take three slow breaths.
- Celebrate: I’ll smile and whisper, “I’m healing.”
Small actions repeated with celebration wire in new patterns. The goal is consistency, not perfection.
Muscle testing and timing (for self-workers)
If you muscle test during processing, you may get inconsistent answers. That’s a signal to pause. Re-check later with:
“Has my body completed this processing period?”
If Yes, continue gently. If No, hydrate and rest more.
Practitioner perspective: pacing matters
When I work with clients, I create spacious sessions. We release, pause, sip water, check in, and only continue if the body is ready. Respectful pacing reduces overwhelm and supports a smoother integration.
Overloading the body with too many releases at once can amplify temporary discomfort. Less can truly be more.
