Energetic reconnections are reestablished instantaneously but take a while to manifest physically. I’ve seen this integration period range anywhere from a few minutes to a few months, but one to four weeks or so is typical, and your body will generally specify the precise amount of time necessary at the conclusion of the session.

I recommend a few simple practices to aid the body during this period, not much more complicated than drinking water, eating food, sleeping, and allowing emotion to arise unimpeded. I recommend that you abstain from bodywork and further energy work in the early stages, at least, and for a multitude of beneficial reasons, I also recommend a daily mindfulness meditation practice.
