What to expect:

Arrival & Opening of the Space

You’ll be welcomed into a carefully held ceremonial space designed to help you slow down, arrive in your body and leave the outside world behind.

There is nothing you need to prepare, perform or achieve.

From the moment you enter, the invitation is simply to soften and receive.

Intention & Orientation

We begin by orienting to the space and settling together as a group.

You’ll be guided inward through a short grounding practice, creating space to notice how you are arriving and connect with an intention for the journey ahead.

Your intention does not need to be something you figure out with the mind.

It can be as simple as listening to what your body is asking for.

Sacred Blue Lotus Tea

Before moving into the deeper part of the ceremony, we share Blue Lotus tea together.

Used ceremonially for thousands of years, Blue Lotus invites a moment of slowing down, intention and connection before the Spinal Energetics journey begins.

We drink together mindfully, allowing the ceremony to shift from simply arriving in the space to turning our attention inward.

Guided Meditation & Somatic Preparation

Before moving into Spinal Energetics, you’ll be guided through meditation and gentle body-based practices to support awareness, presence and connection with sensation.

The intention is not to force the body to relax.

It is to create the conditions where it feels safe enough to soften on its own.

Spinal Energetics Journey

At the heart of the ceremony is an extended group Spinal Energetics experience.

While you rest comfortably on your mat, Usamah works with the spine, nervous system and energetic field using gentle touch, specific points around the body and, at times, no physical contact at all.

From here, the body is invited to respond in its own way.

For some people this may look like spontaneous movement, stretching, shaking, changes in breathing, emotion or sound.

For others, the experience may be subtle, spacious or deeply still.

There is no correct response.

Nothing needs to happen for the session to be meaningful.

Rather than asking the body to perform, we create space for it to express, reorganise and unwind in the way that feels natural for you.

Immersive Sound Journey

Sound is woven throughout the experience and becomes a deeper part of the ceremony as the Spinal Energetics journey begins to settle.

You’ll be immersed in layers of vibration through instruments such as crystal singing bowls, didgeridoo, shamanic drum and other therapeutic sounds.

Rather than needing to do anything with the sound, you are invited to simply receive it.

The vibrations create a space for deep rest, embodiment and integration as the nervous system begins to settle.

Integration & Grounding

After the journey, there is time to slowly return.

You won’t be rushed back into conversation or expected to immediately make sense of what you experienced.

There will be space to rest, ground and notice what is present.

You may be invited to share with the group, but sharing is always optional.

Some experiences are meant to be spoken.

Others are simply meant to be felt.

A Safe, Held Container

Everything is facilitated within a trauma-aware, respectful and non-judgemental space.

You remain in choice throughout the entire ceremony.

Nothing is forced.

You are welcome to rest, pause or simply observe what is happening within you.

Your experience does not need to look like anyone else's.

You are met exactly where you are.

If you have never experienced Spinal Energetics before, you may be wondering what you are supposed to do.

The answer is very little.

You do not need to know how to move.

You do not need to breathe in a particular way.

You do not need to release an emotion.

And you certainly do not need to make your experience look like the movements you may have seen online.

You simply lie down, close your eyes if that feels comfortable, and allow yourself to receive.

Every nervous system responds differently.

Some people experience significant movement during their first session. Some experience small movements or sensations. Others enter a state of profound stillness.

The amount of movement you experience is not a measure of the depth or success of your session.

Your body sets the pace.

Your experience is your own.

Spinal Energetics is a body-based modality that works with the spine, nervous system and energetic field.

The practice combines principles from Eastern and Western approaches to wellbeing and is based around a simple understanding:

The body holds an intelligence of its own.

Throughout life, our bodies adapt.

We brace.

We contract.

We hold tension.

We develop patterns that once helped us navigate stress, emotion, relationships and our environment.

Over time, some of these patterns can become deeply familiar.

Spinal Energetics creates an opportunity to bring awareness to those patterns through the body rather than trying to analyse them through the mind.

Using light touch, specific points around the spine and energetic field, and sometimes no touch at all, the practitioner invites the body into greater awareness and expression.

What follows is different for everyone.

Movement may arise.

Emotion may surface.

The breath may change.

You may feel waves of sensation, warmth, expansion or release.

Or you may experience almost complete stillness.

The practitioner is not creating these responses or forcing the body into movement.

The work is collaborative.

Your body leads.

The intention is not to fix you.

It is to create enough space for you to listen to what your body has been communicating all along.

Every Spinal Energetics experience is different.

During the ceremony you may notice:

• Spontaneous movement or stretching

• Subtle waves or sensations through the body

• Changes in breathing

• Shaking or trembling

• Emotional expression

• Sound or vocalisation

• Warmth, tingling or heaviness

• A feeling of spaciousness or openness

• Deep relaxation

• Stillness

• Increased awareness of your body

Or your experience may be completely different.

There is no experience you need to chase.

Movement does not equal healing, and stillness does not mean nothing is happening.

The invitation is to remain curious about what your own body is communicating.

This ceremony is open to both first-time and experienced participants, provided none of the listed contraindications apply.

It may resonate with you if you feel as though you spend most of your life in your head and are longing to reconnect with your body.

You may have been carrying stress, emotional weight or tension for longer than you realised.

You may feel tired of constantly analysing yourself and want to explore an approach that begins with sensation rather than thought.

You may already have experience with meditation, breathwork, somatic practices or inner work and feel curious about experiencing your body through a different lens.

Or perhaps you don't have a particular problem you're trying to solve.

You simply feel drawn towards deeper connection, stillness and self-awareness.

You do not need to arrive with a story.

You do not need to know what you want to release.

You do not even need to understand why you feel called to come.

Curiosity is enough.

For your safety and wellbeing, please review the contraindications and terms before booking.

RESONANCE is intentionally kept intimate, with a maximum of 12 participants.

Spinal Energetics is a deeply individual experience. No two bodies respond in the same way, and we believe you deserve the space to have your own experience without feeling lost in a large group.

Keeping the ceremony small allows Usamah to spend time working individually with each person, while giving your body the physical and emotional space to move, express or simply be still.

It also allows us to remain attentive to what is unfolding across the room, creating a space that feels personal, supported and unhurried from beginning to end.

You still experience the connection and energy of journeying alongside others, but with the care and attention of a much smaller container.

Limited to 12 so there is space for every body in the room.
