A typical session lasts about an hour. An inviting atmosphere is created with the help of lit candles, relaxing music, and a comfortable massage table covered in warm, soft flannel sheets. The person remains full clothed during a session while the practioner places their hands lightly on or directly about the body's chakras (energy centers). After the session the person leaves with a feeling of calmness and/or total relaxation. It is highly suggested to drink plenty of water after a session.
