About the Salon
The pace of time at Hikari no Ki
I think of the time someone spends at Hikari no Ki as one continuous flow, including everything before and after the hands-on work. It begins when the door opens and continues until the person steps outside again.
Begin without rushing
People often arrive carrying the speed of the world outside. They have changed trains, fitted the visit between other plans, or hurried to be on time. If the session begins immediately, the body may still be moving at that pace.
We start with tea and a little conversation. There is no fixed minute by which this must end. I watch for breath and posture to slow naturally. Waiting for that shift can matter as much as the session itself.
During the session
Before beginning, I explain what will happen so that uncertainty is not left hanging in the room. Some people fall asleep. Others notice many sensations. Both responses are welcome. There is no need to remain awake or to produce a particular experience.
I also try not to move through the work as a mechanical sequence. The pace changes with the person and the day. While my hands are resting, I listen for what is happening and adjust the space between each part.
Hikari no Ki also offers a session called DNA Activation®. What that session involves is described in more detail on that page.
The session continues into the return
Standing up and leaving immediately after deep relaxation can feel abrupt. The body needs a little time to return to ordinary movement. There is room to sit, drink water, and speak about the experience if words are ready.
The walk home may feel lighter. The next morning, the breath may be deeper. These small changes often arrive after the formal session has ended, which is why its closing time deserves care too.
If you would like to know what a first visit feels like before deciding, a free 30-minute Zoom consultation is available.
