Reflexology
All the nerves in the body run into the feet, which is also where the reflexes relative to the parts, organs and glands of the body are located.
The Reflexology Association of Canada (R.A.C.) defines Reflexology as a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears, which correspond to every part, organ and glands in the body. By applying pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body.
What does a session consist of?
A session consists of removing socks and shoes, rolling up the pant leg and taking time out to sit back and relax. It's common for people to fall asleep during a session. The body goes into a "rest and repair" state, helping the body to heal on a deeper level. I encourage people to drink water to help flush out toxins. This allows the body to run on cleaner fuel and helps one feel better. I will also discuss what I've found in the reflexes. e.g. Poor circulation, tension etc. Stress, fatigue, pain.... These are signs of imbalance in the body. Reflexology relieves stress and tension while promoting balance in the body. Overall, a session will be a pleasurable experience. New clients usually try to pay attention to what is happening when I am working on the first foot and by the time I reach the second foot they are so relaxed that they let go and allow themselves to fall asleep. After the session people may feel more energy to take on the day, or they may feel fatigued and go home to take a nap. Reflexology brings balance and it is good to allot yourself extra time after your session to let the body heal.
The Healing Response
When your body's healing power is activated, the result is a "healing crisis". This "healing crisis" cleanses your body, mind and spirit, expels toxins and balances future intake and expulsion of toxins. Though this may feel uncomfortable at first, just remember that you are courageous to take this step in your healing process to let go of all that does not serve your highest good. As you clear out the toxins you are making room for something better. Feel good about putting your health first. Think of how much better you will feel when you are done.Some natural healing benefits include:
Feeling of relaxation
Revitalization
Release of toxins
Increase in creativity or intuition
Release of old mental habits
Deep emotional or physical release
