Here are some ideas that might help you with doing sessions in-person. You may already be using these, but if not they should be useful!
Begin with a moment of silence together. This can be a moment of prayer, meditation or just silence, whatever you want. This helps to set a peaceful tone for the session and can help your client’s body prepare for the work to be done. (And a little help from upstairs can only help!)
Get the basic info from your client. Take a few minutes and discuss the client’s issues and problems that they need help with. This can help the client feel they are being heard, but don’t allow this discussion to last longer than a few minutes- you don’t need details in order to help- just the basics.
Avoid eye-contact when muscle testing. Eye-contact while testing can make your subject uncomfortable (even subconsciously) and you can get funny answers. Focus on a spot on the wall instead, or even close your eyes.
Personal space. Similarly, don’t sit too close to your client- be sensitive to their personal space.
You may also want to use a professional looking magnet. A refrigerator magnet will work fine, but it doesn’t appear as professional or powerful. Allow people’s impressions of you and your work to count for you, not against you. This is optional- it is a personal decision, but I thought I’d mention it because it could help your business if you’re planning to start one. (If you’re getting certified just for the sense of accomplishment, don’t worry too much about this one).
End the session on time. It’s okay to say, “That’s all the time we have for today” or something similar. Keep your office a sacred work space for healing and don’t allow anyone to loiter past their time. This is about creating a position of respect for yourself and the work you are doing.
You may want to end with a moment of silence if you choose, to give thanks and to help the client feel better prepared for the processing period.
Now is the best time to create good habits, so I hope these tips will help you do that!
