A gentle guide to arriving ready in body, mind, and space.
Your preparation is the beginning of the work. Taking time to set your intention, ready your space, and quiet the analytical mind allows the session to unfold more naturally and deeply.
Required before your session
Your one-page session checklist
Use the items that apply to your confirmed format. Your private readiness form asks only about current changes and practical conditions.
My date, start time, time zone and online or in-home format match Nelson’s written confirmation and calendar invitation.
I understand the remaining balance and its due date.
I prepared 5 to 15 self-focused questions and placed the most important ones first.
I protected the full 4–5-hour session window and left unhurried time afterward.
I have a quiet, private, smoke-free space where I can lie down comfortably without interruptions.
If online, I tested Google Meet, internet, headphones, microphone, camera position and the agreed reconnection method.
I will have water nearby, use the bathroom beforehand and keep any needed pillow or blanket within reach.
I will not attend under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, psychedelics or recreational substances, and I have not changed prescribed medication for the session without professional direction.
I will not drive or begin demanding work, caregiving or safety-sensitive activity until I feel fully alert and grounded afterward.
I reported any material change and completed the short private readiness confirmation sent by Nelson.
If a material condition changes, contact Nelson before the session. Do not include a detailed personal history in ordinary email or messaging.
Required
Keep the essentials simple
Confirm the appointment, prepare your questions, protect the time, set up the space and complete the private readiness check.
Optional
Explore only what feels useful
The longer question worksheet, imagination exercises and detailed session walkthrough are supporting resources—not additional requirements.
Writing your questions is part of setting intention. Sitting with what you most want to ask brings clarity even before the session begins.
Aim for 5 to 15 questions.
No more than 20.
Prioritize them from most important to least important.
Common themes include life purpose, career direction, relationships, spiritual questions, body or emotional experiences, and repeating life patterns.
Keep questions focused on your own growth rather than trying to fix others.
Your questions do not need to sound polished. Honest, simple questions are often the strongest. For a longer worksheet, visit How to Write Questions for Your Session.
Time & Space to Settle
Please set aside a full session window, usually 4–5 hours.
Avoid rushing before or after.
You may notice thoughts, emotions, dreams, or memories afterward; record what feels relevant without assuming the session caused them.
Give yourself space to integrate.
Technical Setup for Online Sessions
If your session is in-home, you can skip this part — Nelson will help arrange the space when he arrives. For online sessions:
Sessions happen through Google Meet.
Use headphones with a microphone.
Use a stable internet connection.
Fully charge your device or keep it connected to power.
Keep video on so Nelson can follow breathing and emotional shifts.
Position the camera so you remain visible while lying down.
Silence phones and notifications.
Before beginning, agree on what to do if the call disconnects. Stay comfortably where you are while Nelson attempts to rejoin or contact you through the agreed method.
Where appropriate for session safety, be ready to confirm your current location and an emergency contact.
Your Environment
Choose a comfortable place where you can lie down fully.
A bed, sofa, or recliner is fine.
Use a pillow if needed.
Be in a private room where you will not be interrupted.
For an online session, remain safely indoors at the location you shared with Nelson.
Loved ones and pets are best in another area.
Keep water within easy reach.
Use the bathroom right before the session.
Mindset & Expectations
Release expectations.
Do not compare your experience to anyone else's.
Trust the first impression that arises.
Speak what you sense without overanalyzing.
Keep describing images, sensations, feelings, impressions, or memories.
You remain in control the entire time.
This is a natural state of deep relaxation, not mind control.
You can pause whenever needed.
Optional imagination practice
Visualization is not required for a successful session. Some people experience images, while others notice sensations, emotions, words, memories or simple knowing.
If you would like to experiment with imagination before your session, try one or more of these simple exercises:
Picture a red bird.
Picture a yellow flower.
Picture a green tree.
Imagine holding a lemon, cutting it in half, smelling the citrus, feeling the texture, and noticing the color.
Before & After Care
Before
Eat lightly.
Go easy on caffeine.
Arrive open, rested, and curious.
Do not attend under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, psychedelics or recreational substances. Continue prescribed medication only as directed by your qualified health-care provider; do not change medication for a session without professional guidance.
After
You may feel dreamy, tender, or reflective.
Eat something grounding.
Take a slow walk, feel your feet on the floor or choose another simple activity that helps you feel present.
Set aside quiet time to write down what you experienced.
Record your impressions soon after, because details may fade like a dream.
Do not drive immediately if you feel disoriented, unusually tired or not fully alert. Wait until you feel safely grounded and oriented.
Your Notes
Write down your freshest impressions after the session, because details may fade like a dream.
Leave room for uncertainty; an image or apparent memory is a subjective experience, not verified evidence.
Full-session audio recording may be considered only when the separate recording program is enabled, technically possible and appropriate. It remains optional, requires separate consent and is never guaranteed. Introductory calls are never recorded.
Arrive open, rested, and curious. Your only task is to relax and speak what you sense.
Ready to Begin
Arrive with context already named
The form gives Nelson the basics before you talk through fit and next steps.
