A Therapeutic Ritual at Flor de Agua: What Is It About?
The word Ritual comes from the Sanskrit ṛtá, meaning the subtle and true order of the cosmos. When a ritual is performed, the intention is precisely this: to subtly restore a natural balance in the person who receives it.
For me, a Ritual—by honoring its solemn dimension—is always unique to each person. Every Ritual is different and forms part of a transformative process.
At Flor de Agua, all Rituals are Therapeutic Rituals because, in addition to being special and long in duration (and we will look at why in a moment), they carry a dimension of therapeutic care where, as a Reiki Master and holistic therapist, I hold space for your process at physical, emotional, and subtle levels.
1. Long-Duration Sessions Are Essential: Minimum Two Hours for the Body-Emotion Connection
Experience has confirmed what my intuition already told me: in the realm of holistic therapies that require bodywork and somatic exploration, long-duration sessions are what help women the most. For this reason, I work exclusively with this format.
Indeed, the therapies I offer are not a "game to try out," but a path of self-knowledge to better understand yourself and integrate past experiences.
To reach this path of self-knowledge through listening to the body, science and various holistic traditions arrive at the exact same conclusion: you need time to connect with your emotional side through the body.
Here are a few insightful facts:
- Attuning to your unconscious mind (brainwaves): It takes between 45 and 60 minutes to transition from the Beta brainwave state (alertness) to Alpha and, ultimately, to Theta (deep relaxation and meditation). Once we reach this state, you can begin to release emotions and access fresh perspectives on your life.
- Your nervous system: Requires at least 30 to 45 minutes of consistent signals of safety and calm, provided through manual and holistic therapy, to slow down stress hormones, lower heart rate, and allow deep muscles to "drop their guard." Before that threshold, you continue operating from the analytical mind and a state of defense.
- Dismantling body armor: The release of tension and stored emotions in the body cannot be forced. It requires a gradual process where you first slow down, then trace the sensation, and finally allow the held emotion to discharge organically and integratively. This gradual process takes time.
Hence the importance, for the depth of the work I do, of attending long-duration sessions: it is during the second half of the Therapeutic Ritual that the most transformative and somatic work truly begins.
2. Therapeutic Rituals Combining Multiple Holistic Techniques
Each Ritual, precisely because it is a Ritual, is unique. This means I do not use rigid protocols; there is a purely intuitive aspect of connection and listening with you. Even so, I apply various manual holistic therapy, somatic massage, and conscious touch techniques with utmost professionalism and care. To learn more about the different techniques (such as Californian Therapeutic Massage, Traditional Hawaiian Massage, Shamanic Massage and Reiki, or the Metamorphic Technique), you can visit the homepage (section: Different Techniques and Types of Therapies).
3. Therapeutic Rituals with Reiki: Integrating Information More Deeply
In several Therapeutic Rituals, I incorporate Traditional Japanese Reiki or Shamanic Reiki. Simply put, Reiki is the "Universal Life Energy" that helps us connect with ourselves and feel at peace with our environment. The sensations felt when receiving Reiki differ for every person according to their sensitivity, life phase, or the level of trust they have with themselves and others. Reiki is a therapy where feeling held and relaxed throughout the process is essential. As a certified Reiki Master by the Spanish Federation, I hold space for your journey and welcome your emotions without judgment in every Therapeutic Ritual. (You can visit my page dedicated exclusively to Reiki here).
4. Flor de Agua: A Dedicated Space for Women
Flor de Agua is a place created for women, designed to accompany you through the unique challenges we face across the different stages of life (the "superwoman" myth, mental overload, social pressures around physical appearance, the desire to experience the menstrual cycle naturally in a rushed society, space to honor your sensitivity, or the integration of difficult past experiences stored in the female body). (You can read more here about women's somatic accompaniment).
5. The Flor de Agua Cycles©
Through experience, I have seen that it generally takes about 3 sessions to address, integrate, or move through a specific challenge. While some highly sensitive or easily relaxed women can access their unconscious mind from the very first session and experience it as deeply transformative, the norm is to go significantly deeper during the second or third session.
In summary:
- First session: Deep physical preparation.
- Second session: Emotional release and deepening.
- Third session: Integration and process closure.
At Flor de Agua, there are 3 distinct 3-session cycles designed to help you with specific themes. A single cycle of 3 sessions is sufficient to address a concrete area. Generally, when women choose to continue with more sessions, it is to explore other aspects of their life or because they wish to experience the other cycles.
To learn more about the cycles and discover how they can support you, you are invited to a Free Welcome Consultation (approx. 40 minutes). You simply need to fill out the form here.
6. Women's Voices and Experiences at Flor de Agua
"From the very first session, and without expecting it, I connected with my relational world: I understood painful patterns with past partners and began to move beyond them. The second session allowed me to voice things I couldn't speak about, and the third was a ritual where all the puzzle pieces clicked into place. Today, after years of being single, I met a man with whom everything flows without suffering. I feel these sessions opened a door that had been locked for years."
— Clara D.
"In my 40s, I carried a conscious lack of self-esteem from feeling unwanted by my parents. I had worked through it mentally in talk therapy, but I needed to heal the physical and spiritual dimension. After the initial introductory work, during the third session, I saw myself as a baby in my mother's arms, understood her story, and was able to forgive her. It was a journey of deep peace that fills me every time I remember it."
— Cristina C.
"I came due to severe pain linked to my menstrual cycle, combining this with medical follow-ups. I had no rigid expectations, but her gentle somatic accompaniment resonated with me. I felt listened to and deeply cared for; the rituals were held with absolute sweetness, which was exactly what my body needed after more aggressive medical treatments."
— Anne H.
