Reflexology For The Spirit

spirituality of one's health

Ear Disorders are Both Physical and Spiritual

Physically, ears have many disorders.
Outer ears have infections, cuts, burns, frostbite, ruptured eardrums.
Middle ear problems go with upper respiratory infections. Young children suffer with ear infections. Some of these infections are connected with respiratory-tract infections as well as infections resulting from water or other foreigh substances entering the outer ear.
Inner ears suffer with allergies, infections, reactions to medications.
Spiritually, people have health issues with the ears when a person has difficulty coping with what s/he is hearing. Our ears help us maintain our balance. Listening is very challenging if the subject matter causes pain or discomfort.
At times, it is difficult to hear one’s inner voice. Listening to one’s inner voice may, at times, be more difficult than listening to someone else’s voice.
When offering Reflexology for the Spirit sessions to a person with ear disorders, it’s the goal to offer the client partner an opportunity to experience grounded listening.
Begin the session by working the sense organs focusing on the ear reflexes. Focus on the spleen and liver reflexes. Move to the lymphatic system, and finish the session with a focus on the solar plexus.

Reflexology Blog – The Common Cold is Very Spiritual Indeed

So, what makes up a common cold? Sneezing, runny eyes, muscle aches, coughing, maybe some fever.
Work the endocrine system with emphasis on the pituitary gland the adrenal gland reflexes, work the sense organs with emphasis on the ear reflexes, work the respiratory system with emphasis on the lung and sinus reflexes, work the lymphatic system reflexes. Finish the session with the liver and solar plexus holds.
Colds have a very spiritual side. We usually get colds because of of one or more of the following elements in our lives:
People come down with colds when they have suffered some sort of shock: death or other emotional shock in which grief cannot be acknowledged.
Colds are common in people who are in the midst of change. Too much is going on in a person’s life. A cold allows the sufferer to have a few days to slow down.
Overwork is a popular element in the lives of cold sufferers. People become scattered. They have no time for themselves.
When you think of a cold, think of the phrase “too much”. Cold sufferers have too much work, too much fatigue, too much on the To Do list.
Reflexology sessions really help with this “Too Much” issue. They offer a short period of rest, an opportunity to return to homeostasis, a chance to stop physically running around for a few minutes. Reflexology sessions allow a person’s mind to relax and be at peace. When the mind relaxes, there is an opportunity for words like clarity and simplicity to become a reality.

Reflexology Blog – Dizziness

Dizziness is a sensation of whirling or light-headedness which can cause a loss of balance. Physically, dizziness has several causes: inner ear infections, sudden movements, drug reactions, and nervous disorders affecting the motions of the liquid in the inner ear. These motions of the liquids control the body’s equilibrium.
Spiritually and emotionally, a person suffering with dizziness is going through a period in life where s/he is feeling overloaded, and off balance. There is a sense of vulnerability caused when the person feels unsafe and scattered at the same time. Dizziness sufferers want to be somewhere other than where they are. The person feels as if s/he is living a life going around in circles. Often, the necessary changes needed to straighten out the situation are totally unknown to the dizziness sufferer.
When offering a Reflexology for the Spirit session to a person suffering with dizziness, focus on the following reflexes:
Begin by working the brain reflexes, then move on to the sinus reflexes. The third step is to work the sense organs with emphasis on the eye and ear reflexes. Finally, work the liver and solar plexus.
Be sensitive to the realization that your client partner is feeling very vulnerable when having a dizzy spell. Know that your sessions will offer centering and peace.

Of those 45 foods, the following list is those foods which are also included in Johnny Bowden, Ph.D.’s list of the 150 healthiest foods on earth.
almonds, avocadoes, beans, blueberries, Brazil nuts, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe, collard greens, eggs, fish, flaxseed, garlic, grapes, green beans, kale, leeks, lemons, onions, oranges, oysters, peaches, peppers, pineapple, poultry, pumpkin, raisins, raspberries, salmon, squash, strawberries, sweet potatoes, turnips, water, watercress.
These are really two lists. I hope this is not too confusing.

IMPROVEMENTS to be expected from sessions to the sense organs:
Regular sessions focusing on the diseased or distressed sense organs can improve the body on both a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Our eyes are the mirrors of our souls. Working the eye reflexes has a direct impct on spiritual issues that are troubling you.
Skin diseases and issues reflect problems in all aspects of our lives. Repeated, regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions assist in the resolution of many of these problems.
Because the ears deal with balance, regular sessions can help a person experiencing problems in this area. This is significant because people suffering with balance issues begin to lack confidence in the body’s ability to return to “normal” (homeostasis). Regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer the return of confidence.
Skin and hair condition are improved with regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions.

Reflexology Blog – The Sense Organs are Very Spiritual in Nature

Our sense of smell is not as sensitive as that of a dog, cat, or wild animal, but we do smell many things. Our sense of smell is both highly emotional and spiritual. We recall memories and emotions from deep in our past through the sense of smell. Inflammation in our nasal passages and infection in our sinuses prevents us from smelling as well as we should. There are also spiritual reasons why we don’t smell as well as we should. I believe we begin to lose our sense of smell as we deny our intuition. We can also begin to lose the sense of smell as our bodies shut down from being surrounded by too much environmental toxicity.
The body’s largest organ is the skin. Some people believe that the majority of skin problems are emotional/spiritual in origin. The best way to tackle skin problems is to treat them holistically and seek out the cause from within rather from without. Begin by working the digestive system and then go to the lymphatics. Include the liver and solar plexus.
Callouses, corns, and rough skin patches offer valuable insight into the challenges faced by our client partners. the location of these patches on the foot is important. For example, a callous on the part of the foot where the shoulder reflex point is has significance. Is s/he having shoulder problems? Is the weight of the world resting on those shoulders?
A callous on the heel area indicates that the person is dealing with core issues and beliefs.
Skin is protection, pure and simple. Our skin forms a protective barrier around our entire body. We allow the world to know us through our skin. And, our skin reveals much to the world: the state of our health, how much sleep we get, whether we drink alcohol and/or take drugs, how much and what kind of food we eat, what our lifestyle is.
Our sense of touch is revealed through the skin. As humans, we are tactile. Touch has powerful effects on us. We communicate through touch. On the positive side, touch is a hug, a kiss, a caress. Touch is communication without the spoken word. Through touch we offer comfort, reassurance, uplifting support. On the negative side, touch can be traumatic: pain, abuse, fear.
Skin is all about boundaries. Skin issues often arise when our boundaries have been invaded, penetrated.
Our sense organs are closely connected with our psychic and intuitive skills. We react quickly when danger is sensed or when unknown elements are sensed before they are actually seen, heard, smelled, or touched. We often read about someone “sensing danger” in books. People will also refer to having “goose bumps” or “experiencing one’s hair standing on end.”
The sense organs are very spiritual. Work them holistically, from within, realizing that when a person undergoes strong spiritual changes, the senses change. Homeostasis is encouraged when the senses work together to help our physical wellbeing, our emotional health, and our spiritual awareness.

Reflexology Blog – The Sense Organs

Our ears, eyes, sense of smell, sense of touch, skin, are very spiritual in nature. Our sense organs reflect the changes we make in our lives and belief systems. They also offer us an opportunity to move into a defense mode when necessary.
Our ears help us hear and keep our balance. Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners divide the ears into two parts: inner and outer. Auricular reflexology (ear reflexology) is practiced on the outer ears themselves. The outer ears also have several spiritual reflex points not found on the feet.
Hearing and balance activities take place in the inner ear. Human ears are so sensitive that they can pick up very strong sounds like thunder, booms, and rock concert bands as well as the slightest rustle of a breeze. Even with all this sensitivity, humans do not hear as well as dogs, cats, horses, and wild animals.
Our ears also react to pressure changes affecting our balance. Deafness caused by birth, disease, or injury is usually permanent and not treatable with reflexology. Temporary deafness caused by ear wax blockages, drug reactions, or severe stress is often treatable with Reflexology for the Spirit.
Our eyes are constantly detecting and deciphering light waves. Under stress, it is possible for our vision to undergo changes. Our vision also changes with shifts in core beliefs.
Working the eye reflexes brings balance to blood and lymph flow. this refreshes them so it’s easier for them to adjust to the stress and changes they may be experiencing.
Many times a person’s behavior is influenced by how something is perceived. Never overlook the opportunity to work the eye reflexes if a person’s behavior appears to be puzzling to those around.
Tomorrow’s post will continue with information on the sense organs and how reflexologists work with them.

Reflexology Blog – 9 Airplane Travel Tips For a Comfortable Trip

Airline travel is totally overrated. As far as I’m concerned, it ranks right up there with natural childbirth and owning your own business. (I speak from experience. I’ve done all three.)
Use soft sided luggage with wheels. Use shoulder bags.
Travel light.
If at all possible, reserve an aisle seat.
Arrive at the airport early enough to have adequate time for processing yourself through the bureaucratic maze, finding your gate.
As you pass through the pre boarding screening area, put yourself in an emotional “neutral” mode. I heard a TSA employee discussing this once. Think of yourself as trance walking through the TSA maze. (He called it “walking dead”.) When you get through this phase of the trip, you’ll be unstressed and able to sit quietly at your boarding gate while you wait for the boarding call.
Wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
Avoid lifting anything heavy into the overhead luggage bins.
Once on the plane, walk up and down the aisle every 30 minutes or so.
Enjoy your trip!

Reflexology Blog – 8 Reasons to Call a Professional Healthcare Provider if You Have Back Pain

Not all pack pain problems need immediate medical attention. Many times a Reflexology for the Spirit session can offer relief and/or healing. Massage is helpful also. Sometimes a chiropractor or acupuncturist can offer relief. Because of the spiritual aspect surrounding back issues, time itself can offer healing. Reflexology works well with other modalities. Back discomfort is no exception.
However, it’s nice to know when you need to contact a professional about your discomfort. The following symptoms require attention:
Back pain following an accident or other injury
Constant pain which is not relieved by changing position
Pain that continues when resting, especially at night
Fever
Unexplained weight loss
Muscle weakness in arms, hands, legs, or feet
Sciatic pain felt below the level of the knee
Swelling and/or joint pain
Loss of sensation in buttocks/thighs
Urinary retention

Reflexology Blog – 10 Ways to Sit More Comfortably. Sitting is More Difficult Than Standing.

The inspiration for this, and the next series of posts, is a book I read by Constance A. Bean: “The Better Back Book” It’s available through Amazon and is probably available through your favorite bookstore as well. I like the way she listed information to make it easier to read, understand, and use.
Avoid sitting on unstable, soft surfaces such as a very soft chair or a bed.
Always try to sit in a chair with armrests and always use the armrests. This way, you remove weight from your lower back. Use the armrests to shift your weight occasionally if you become uncomfortable.
Rocking chairs relieve back pain as you rock back and forth because your muscles are not held in one position.
The angle on the chair is changed as you rock back and forth.
The chair you sit in should support your lumbar spine.
The front part of the seat should be higher than the back part to make your back more comfortable. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If you can find a chair low enough to the floor so that your knees are raised higher than your hips, you’ll be even more comfortable. If this isn’t possible, place your feet on a small stool or several phone books to raise your knees. The chair seat should be deep enough to support the entire thigh.
Using your armrests for support, get up out of your seat and walk around frequently.
When sitting for long periods, raise your shoulders and tighten your abdominal muscles and buttocks for a few moments. Then release the muscles and take 2-3 deep breaths.
Balance chairs align the spine correctly.
Car seats and airplane seats are very stressful for spines.
Do not slump in your chair because this habit stresses your spine.
When driving a car, position your car seat forward to make sure the leg is extended as little as possible. This will help you keep your pelvic tilted.

Reflexology Blog – Regular Sessions Promote Homeostasis for the Osteoporosis Sufferer.

Osteoporosis has physical components because it is a thinning of the bones. However, it is a spiritual disease. Reflexology for the spirit is good with osteoporosis if sessions are begun when in its early stages. I believe that some menopausal women are suffering with osteoporosis and are not aware of having the condition.
Spiritually, this disease occurs when a person begins to lose a purpose in life. Sufferers of this condition need to try to strengthen core feelings to prevent fading of the spirit. Sometimes, as people age, they begin to feel lost, isolated, weak, unsupported, vulnerable. They no longer feel comfortable taking responsibility for actions. They become unwilling to speak up and ask for things they need.
Regular sessions can offer stress relief and promote homeostasis.
When addressing osteoporosis issues, work the entire skeletal system reflexes. Also work the muscular system, nervous system, liver, and solar plexus.
Encourage the client partner to take up hatha yoga. Some people, who don’t know about yoga, don’t realize just how therapeutic this modality can be for the osteoporosis sufferer.
Diet is extremely important with osteoporosis. It’s important for your client partner to work with a nutritionist to treat osteoporosis.
