The Collective Exhale – Spinal Energetics for ADHD

Holiday season is almost here. And as much as there's genuine joy in it, there's also the work Christmas party small talk, the hours under fluorescent shopping centre lights, the back-to-back days where you're running between people and places, that leaves you wishing you had another month off by January.

The Collective Exhale is your refuge before the holiday season peaks. A 2-hour Spinal Energetics and Tea experience designed to move the tension you've been silently carrying, so you can stop bracing through December and actually enjoy it.

This is where the exhaustion, the grief, the anger, the stress melts from your body. Not talked about. Not analysed. Just felt, processed and kissed goodbye.

Your only job on the day is to lie face up and receive. Amanda, Joelina and the music will move around the room, working directly on your nervous system and energy field, so your body can feel safety and stop gripping onto the protective mechanisms keeping you exhausted and small, allowing you to sink into deep presence.

To integrate, we'll enjoy some tea gifted by Bone China Tea so you can connect with likeminded community members or simply spend more time journalling.

You'll leave feeling lighter, more yourself, and more regulated than you've felt in months.

So you can actually show up for the people you love this holiday season. Not surviving it. Actually present.

FAQ

Do I need to have ADHD to come?
No, and you don’t need a diagnosis. Self-identified, waiting on assessment, or just curious are all welcome. The session is shaped around ADHD nervous systems (no pressure to perform, no sitting still, no having to “do it right”), but anyone who wants to be supported is welcome.

I’ve never tried Spinal Energetics or anything somatic. Is that okay?
Yes, Spinal Energetics is a great entry point to somatic work. There’s nothing you have to do but show up, be present and receive.

What should I expect?
You lie face up, fully clothed, and receive. Two practitioners move around the room working with your nervous system and energy field, while live music plays. You may move, stretch, cry, laugh or just feel very relaxed. All responses are welcome and are signs your nervous system is unwinding. Afterwards there’s tea and time to land before you go back out into the world. 

Is there physical touch?
There is light touch to access the spine and energy centres of the body, however if you prefer no touch, you can indicate with the consent cards provided on the day, and we will simply access through your energetic field.

My brain never switches off. Will this work for me?
A racing mind is a common sign that the nervous system is in an activated sympathetic state. Spinal Energetics helps to create safety in the nervous system so that it can activate the parasympathetic state to relieve a racing mind. With regular practice, it will be easier to self-downregulate your nervous system to have a calmer mind.

Is Spinal Energetics safe for everyone?
Not for everyone. Please read the contraindications for Spinal Energetics before booking: thedivingdietitian.com/spinalenergetics
Please read the contraindications above before booking. If you’re unsure whether any apply to you, DM @heyitsamanda.x or email amanda@thedivingdietitian.com first and we’ll work it out together.
