That post massage nap face 😶🌫️😴
I like to call this "going internal" where the outside world just fades away a little bit. They'll often continue to release in this state, I'll see blinking, licking, chewing, and yawning all signs that tension is leaving the body. I also notice them gently testing how their body is feeling by shifting their weight, stretching, bending joints, or tilting their head.
After a little while they "come back" their eyes brighten, their ears perk up, they'll walk somewhere. A lot of times this is where they'll roll or get water or show off for their neighbor.
It's so rewarding for me to watch them go through this process and help them get there through bodywork!
