Our feet are walked on every day, bare the weight of our bodies and get stuff into shoes and other foot wear. In order to treat and pamper our feet, foot reflexology is one of the most relaxing, energizing and pampering forms of healing and relaxing. This is done by gentle stimulation of different areas of the feet (also hands and ears) to promote healing through the meridians that connect to the body’s organs along with enhancing the elimination of toxins.

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY: is an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians. Foot Reflexology is a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems.

Foot reflexology is a technique whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods.

Using foot reflexology promotes physiological improvements in the body. Foot Reflexology restores natural balance and revitalization.

Reflexology will provide the following:

Improved circulation: Our circulation is improved when the stress in our systems is released and we are able to relax. The oxygen and nutrients in the blood is able to flow more freely and increase the function of the cardiovascular vessels.

Release of Toxins: Since reflexology works with improving the health of the organs, it also helps to release the toxins in the body and increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the organs in distress. Sometimes when working on the feet the practitioner and client can feel crystals in the feet being broken up, which helps to release those toxins. It is recommended that you do not drink alcohol within 24 hours of a reflexology treatment: the client could get quit sick during the session (a disbelieving client is now a believer).

Reduces stress and provides a deep relaxation: Many times a client will fall asleep during a session, even the most chatty person who has a hard time to relax. Over 7,000 nerves are stimulated during a reflexology treatment, opening and clearing the neural pathways. Each part of the body is worked with, reenergized and feeling better after a good nights sleep. The energy is the body starts to flow a lot freer and reaching area that have been restricted before the treatment.

Healing with the clients has been seen in the following ways during sessions:

1. One client has MS and is able to move her one leg a lot more freely after a session. This client has also felt more peaceful and an increased flow of energy.

2. One client had the feeling of walking on clouds after the session. Her feet were her main form of transportation.

3. Another clients bowels functioned more freely.

4. A client who rarely stopped to do something for her self, chatted constantly for the first little while then just fell right asleep, and was totally refreshed afterwards. Reading a section in “Feet First” by Laura Norman and Thomas Cowan, reconfirmed exactly how I felt during reflexology treatments. Even though I love practicing Reiki and other forms of healing, I find doing a reflexology session the most relaxing of them all. I am able to sit down and just get immersed into the treatment and smile as soon as the client falls asleep. Diagnosis with reflexology is forbidden, like many of the other wholistic practices. If a practitioner feels that something may be wrong, he / she can only recommend that the client get a check up from their family doctor.

In summary: Reflexology is an amazing form of healing physically, mentally and spiritually. It can help to sooth the tired over worked feet and pamper the one that walks on those wonderful feet.Information from: in “Feet First” by Laura Norman and Thomas Cowan and from personal experience.
