The last three hours of the 10-session series are integration hours – the work of the previous sessions is wrapped up in a coherent way. Again, the framework below provides the general idea for each session – your session may be somewhat different based on your individual needs.

Eighth and ninth hours
Focus area(s): One session will focus on the lower half of the body and the other will focus on the upper body.

These sessions are more big picture – we look at relating the top and bottom halves of the body at the middle. Continue working toward movement coming from the core. Develop a sense of expansiveness or a feeling of extension in movement.

Tenth hour
Focus area(s): Work broadly over torso and legs
Balance and stabilize the system so the body is ready to go out into the world.

Optional post-10 work
You may find the ten sessions are all you need and your body feels good on an ongoing basis. However, if you place a lot of demands on your body at work or play, it can be useful to get SI sessions now and then. Post-10 sessions maintain the benefits of the series and help prevent new issues from getting worse. Some people like to come in on a regular schedule; others make an appointment only when they feel it’s necessary. See also my previous post on this topic.

Additional 10-Series
Another option after some time has gone by is to repeat the entire series of ten sessions. The starting point is different and the experience of the series will be, too.
