Reflexology For The Spirit

spirituality of one's health

Muscular System Bottom Line, 12 Essential Oils, 24 Foods That Nourish The Muscular System and 3 Improvements to be Expected from Sessions to the Muscular System

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Maintaining the muscular system with Reflexology for the Spirit sessions helps improve both the circulatory and skeletal systems.  The ability of muscles to function directly impacts the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life of a person.

One’s emotional and spiritual health directly impacts how the muscles function, the ability to maintain a proper body weight, and to maintain muscle tone, especially as one ages.  Exercise is recommended to release endorphins that interact with the receptors in the brain to promote positive feelings, and when a client decides to start working out this will be a boon to you.

ESSENTIAL OILS TO USE WHEN WORKING THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM INCLUDE basil, fennel, geranium, German chamomile, helichrysum, lavender, marjoram, nutmeg, peppermint, rosemary, thyme, wintergreen

FOODS  WHICH NOURISH THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM INCLUDE beans, caffeine, Brazil nuts, cherries, chicken, dairy, dried plums, eggs, figs, legumes, liver, meat, nuts, oily fish, oysters, peanuts, raisins, rose hip tea, soy, turkey, water, wheat germ, whole grains, yeast.

Of the foods on the above list, the following foods are also on Johnny Bowden, Ph.D.’s list of the 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth:

beans,  caffeine, Brazil nuts, eggs, figs, liver(calf’s liver), milk(raw), nuts, oysters, peanuts/peanut butter, raisins, yogurt.

So, you’ve actually got two lists here.  The top list is the list of foods nourishing the muscular system.  The second list is those foods on Johnny Bowden’s list.  This gets a little complicated but is worth knowing.  Please let me know if you have problems with the information and how it’s listed.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE EXPECTED FROM SESSIONS TO THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM:

Working the muscular system in a session can relax the whole body as well as specific places in the body.

Muscular aches and pains are relieved and muscular stress and tension can be reduced.

As the body relaxes with repeated, regular sessions, homeostasis offers balance to the body and the spirit.

Peace and food for all.

A Heart Message Meditation From an Angel

Page0002 (2)Begin this meditation as you make yourself comfortable, either sitting in a comfortable position or lying in a comfortable place.

Turn on some soft, soothing music.

Focus on your breathing now.  As you inhale, breathe relaxation in through your nose.  Visualize a happy and expanded heart.  Inhale through your nose.

Exhale through your mouth as you breathe out stress and anxiety.

Inhale relaxation through your nose as you visualize your heart in unconditional love.  Breathe in.

Exhale through your mouth as you release disappointment.  Breathe out.

As you relax even more – breathe in relaxation through your nose, focusing on joy and happiness.

Breathe out heaviness and stagnation through your mouth as you exhale.

As you breathe in relaxation through your nose, listen to your heart.

Now, breathe out anger and bitterness as you exhale through your mouth.

You are calm and centered now.  You look around you and notice your surroundings have changed.  You find yourself sitting on a bench in a quiet meadow.  You realize this whole area is enfolded and surrounded by a rose colored light.

You look around  and see an angel on the bench beside you.  This angel is dressed in rose colored garments.  You pause and take notice of exactly how the angel looks as well as how everything around you appears.

You know immediately that this angel is with you to help you listen to your heart’s wisdom and guidance.

You sit by this angel for a moment as you ask the angel to help you heal and regenerate your heart.

You also ask the angel to listen with you to your heart’s healing wisdom and guidance.

The two of you together listen to your heart’s message.  You take the time to receive this message which the angel is sharing with you.

You realize that this message is important for you and you also realize that you want to remain open to other messages which may come your way over the next few days.

You then realize it’s time to return to your space.

You thank the angel for visiting you.  You thank the angel for sharing wisdom and healing with you.

As you prepare to return to your space, you know that you can return to this  area with its beautiful bench and angel at any time you want.

You are now totally relaxed, grounded, and calm.  You feel loved.  You are ready to return to your activities of the day.

Peace and food for all.

Reflexology blog – What to do about Phlebitis

PHLEBITIS OCCURS WHEN A VEIN IN THE LEG IS INFLAMED.   This usually happens when a clot forms in the vein due to slow blood circulation.  An injury of some kind may be involved.

When the situation is superficial, it’s called phlebitis.  When the situation involves a deep vein, the situation is more serious and is  called deep venous thrombosis.  The symptoms are similar and it’s hard for a person to tell the difference.

THE WISDOM IS THIS:  if you have an area on a leg which is red, swollen, or painful, it’s time to see your healthcare professional right away.  The deep vein clot has the potential to be much more serious than phlebitis.

Are you in a situation where your lifestyle is sedentary?  Are you in a spiritual/emotional situation where things are just not moving?

Don’t ignore Phlebitis.  Do what your healthcare professional says.  Get the exercise you need.  Put your feet up to reduce swelling.  Wear flat heeled shoes.

Whenever possible, walk, run, dance, swim.  Move forward in your life.

WHEN OFFERING REFLEXOLOGY to a phlebitis sufferer, work the circulatory system as you focus on the heart reflex.

Work the endocrine system by focusing on the adrenal gland reflex.

End the session by working the liver and the solar plexus.

Reflexology Blog – Muscular System

Muscular System

OUR BODIES CONTAIN OVER 600 MUSCLES, AND THEY ARE IN EVERY BODY PART, GLAND, AND ORGAN.    Muscles work in tandem with the bones in our skeletal system to enable a body to move, circulate blood, help maintain posture, and produce heat and energy.  They are controlled by that command center referred to in the Nervous System.

There are three types of muscles:  cardiac, smooth, or skeletal.

CARDIAC MUSCLES EXIST ONLY IN THE HEART  where they form the heart walls.  The cardiac muscle works alone and is autonomous.  Smooth muscles are involuntary and are found in the walls of internal organs like as the stomach and blood vessels.  Both the cardiac muscle and smooth muscle tissues do their work involuntarily with no help from us.  They are activated through the autonomic nervous system as well as hormonal action.

THE MAJORITY OF THE BODY’S MUSCLES ARE SKELETAL.   The system includes the tendons that attach muscles to bone and the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles.  Skeletal muscles move voluntarily and are used for every kind of motion – walking, speaking, running.  These are the muscles which move us forward in life.

SEDENTARY PEOPLE WHO DON’T STIMULATE THEIR MUSCLES TO WORK FIND THEIR MUSCLES ATROPHY.   Statistics prove that a sedentary life style leads to depression and emotional and spiritual malaise.  Reflexology supports the activation of muscle function through exercise resulting in more positive and alive feelings.
