Deep Relaxation for Stress and Anxiety Relief
What Does My Work Consist Of?
It’s basically deep relaxation work. I enter a state of relaxation and, through empathy, that relaxation reaches the person who is with me and then the energy that is normally destined to sustain tensions is suddenly free and available to go wherever the body (any body: physical, energetic, mental) needs it to regenerate and balance itself.
Although the vast majority of people come to see me for problems related to stress and anxiety, my work is suitable for any type of discomfort: insomnia, digestive problems, fears, phobias, grief situations, fatigue, vital weariness and lack of motivation, depression, pain, addictions, traumas, sexual problems and relationship crises, moments of doubt or existential crisis, etc.
Formally speaking, there is no physical contact of any kind. You lie down on a futon and I simply sit beside you and remain still, and then everything happens by itself.
What Does "Through Empathy" Mean?
When something is full, what’s inside automatically overflows outward. It’s an overflowing (like a glass that can no longer hold more water) and this overflowing is an automatic process. It has nothing to do with any will of any kind. It’s something mechanical. It has nothing to do with empathizing with the other’s suffering, it’s nothing sentimental or emotional. Nor is it a desire to help.
I don’t feel anything for the other person when I work. I only fill myself completely and when I’m completely full I overflow and my overflowing completely penetrates the other.
Entering the Other
In my work, everything is taken to look within itself. If you are pushed to look within yourself, if you are able to turn your gaze inward and see what is there, then a comprehension of the outside world will come automatically. If you can know what is within you, then you can know what is inside others. It´s not that you will be able to know, but rather, you will know.
If you can enter into yourself, you will enter automatically into the other.
Looking Within
Everything, absolutely everything in this life, demands to be seen. Everything wants to come to the surface, because when things come out and are seen they can be integrated and dissolved into the cosmos; they can be put in their place. It doesn’t matter who sees your tension (all our suffering is some type of tension). It doesn’t matter if you see it or if I see it. What’s important is that it be seen, that it be brought to consciousness so it can be integrated and dissolved.
It’s not about changing anything but about seeing what’s there so that what’s there can order itself.
What Can You Expect from a Session?
I do not expect anything when I do a session; you should not expect anything when you come. This does not mean you have to come without a purpose. If you have a chronic headache and you’re looking for a solution to that pain this is a concrete purpose and that’s great, you’ve come to the right place!
But you must be open to receive the help you’re looking for in ways that are sometimes totally unexpected. This is an autonomous process and it goes wherever it wishes to go rather than where I tell it to go.
At a formal level, sometimes I will talk a lot whilst other times I will be very quiet. Sometimes I will ask many questions and on other occasions I will not let you tell me anything. Whatever we do will be done and whatever there is to come out will do so on its own accord. There will always be relaxation and when we relax, the most amazing things can happen.
What Training Have I Received to Do This Work?
Rather than a technique, my work is a result. It is the natural result of an equally natural process. I work within my own abilities to be still and increase my sensitivity. The rest is out of my hands. I simply sit still and, suddenly, everything then starts to fall into place, or rather, to be put in its place.
In my work, all that you will learn about yourself, I will learn about myself equally.
Therapeutic Deep Relaxation Sessions for Treating Stress and Anxiety
When the organism has been in tension for a long time and with the alarm system activated even though there’s no longer a reason for alarm, being able to experience a state of deep relaxation again is a great relief.
Precisely because the body remembers, being able to experience a state of deep relaxation, even if only for a while and in the setting of a therapeutic consultation, can lay the foundations for a new phase in which there is no longer tension or alarm and we can return to living as relaxed beings.
Guidance Sessions for Moments of Doubt or Existential Crisis
If you’re going through a moment of doubt or existential crisis, my sessions can be very helpful to you, because through states of deep relaxation we can access what the body knows (even though the conscious mind doesn’t have access to that knowledge) and, from there, draw up a plan.
Guidance Sessions for Highly Sensitive People
High sensitivity poses a challenge in a society with so many stimuli and as accelerated as ours. If you’re a person with high sensory capacity and you find it difficult to manage it, come see me because there are several things you can do to feel better.
Accompaniment in Spiritual Emergency Situations
Intensive meditation practices and other techniques related to personal work can lead to overly rapid development of energy and sensitivity, and that excessively rapid development of aspects related to energetic capacity and sensitivity can in turn lead the person to a situation of chaos.
In these cases, it’s vitally important to have the guidance of someone who is capable of helping us understand what’s happening and who can give us the necessary tools to achieve a more harmonious and safe development.
Private Meditation and Mindfulness Classes
If you don’t want to or can’t meditate in a group, I also offer meditation and mindfulness classes at an individual level, as well as private sessions for resolving doubts for beginners and people with advanced levels.
Practical Aspects
Although sessions usually last an hour and a quarter, you need to have enough time in case it runs a bit long. Also keep in mind that after each session it’s better that you don’t drink any alcohol or do intense exercise. In fact, you’ll very likely need to rest more than normal and it will be good if you can take this into consideration.
Likewise, try not to schedule any energy or physical therapy sessions with other people for at least 5 or 6 days after you’ve come to see me so that the work we’ve done together can stabilize and integrate comfortably. This includes reiki sessions, healing, osteopathy, chiropractic, etc. Relaxing or decontracting massages do not interfere.
I’m also going to ask you not to wear cologne or perfume on the day you come (and if you do wear it, very little, please).
Session price (online or in-person): 55 €
TESTIMONIALS
“I still remember how, at a time when it seemed I couldn’t go on anymore, I picked up the phone and called Berta.
A friend had recommended her to me and described her as an energy therapist. Until that moment I had let myself be guided by my brain, so rational and scientific, but things weren’t going well and I didn’t know what to do.
The sessions with Berta opened my eyes and the next stage of my journey began, a stage that has allowed me to start feeling fuller, to trust myself and the wisdom of life more, and to open myself to others. That moment was a turning point for me.”
Mònica P.
“I’m basically a skeptical person but I felt the need to receive help, to make changes without knowing exactly what kind.
Berta was there and when we began the sessions I found myself pinpointing the root of my discomfort and following her guidance effortlessly, although at first it seemed to me it would be very difficult.
I easily learned to listen to my body and my needs, largely responsible for my emotional distress.
Berta is someone special, she inspires confidence and listens when you’re not talking.”
Ofelia S.
“My experience in the sessions with Berta was very beautiful!
I learned about her work by attending meditation gatherings and I quickly realized that she inspired balance in me, which is why I decided to begin personal work with her help.
My feeling after finishing each session was one of calm, of healing, of optimism and of motivation to continue entering into my own discovery.
I’m very grateful for her work and her companionship in my process!”
Laura M.
“I met Berta through a friend who defined her work as ‘a kind of Reiki.’
I started doing some sessions with her and after a relatively short time we had worked on quite a few things. My experience has been being treated for physical and energetic problems. Whenever we were in the consultation I felt relaxed and a part of my body would start being worked on, and from that day on I would notice the improvement.
The solar plexus area was worked on (which I felt was very blocked), my feet (which hurt from sprains) and my neck and cervical area (which I always had very tense).
This is what I wrote down in a notebook, I know there are more things but I didn’t get to write them down.
During all this, those weeks, and especially on the days I went to see Berta, I slept a lot and in my dreams I felt as if ‘I was being repaired.’ I have very detailed dreams written down, full of teachings, as if at night paths kept opening up for me.
What I felt while in Berta’s consultation room was drowsiness, sometimes we would be in silence for more than half an hour and I thought only 10 minutes had passed, relaxation every time. Once at the end I felt as if I was falling into my body…
The experience was very positive and many significant things changed that have brought about a turn in my life.”
