Forgiveness
In 1513 Juan Ponce de Leon went exploring for the fountain of youth in what is now Florida. He found it and it exists. A branch of it is probably at a fitness center in your community. I found one in my community. It’s called the Fitness Connection and is on Albany Avenue in Kingston, New York.
There is a branch of the Fountain of Youth within reach of you. Can you name one? Do you use one? Regularly?
Being tuned into the Fountain of Youth is important. Don’t ever mistake this. But, it’s also important to be healed. The quality of your life will be much better when you can forgive those who injured you in some way. Forgiveness opens the door to healing.
Without forgiveness, we go through our daily life carrying anger, blame, fear, guilt, hurt, regret, resentment, revenge, sadness.
Getting rid of negative baggage can change your life for the better.
Begin to release this negative baggage by listing the people in your life who you need to forgive. Include yourself in this list if you blame your self for things as well. (Don’t we all?)
Now, spend some time each day forgiving those who need forgiveness. You are forgiving people for yourself…nothing more. You know that when you offer forgiveness, miracles can occur.
Don’t worry about the person anymore. You are releasing this person’s energy into the universe. You are releasing this person’s karmic connection to yourself. You are cutting the cords which have been binding you together.
Healing you never expected will take place.
How does forgiveness happen? How can you make this work for you?
Sit for a few minutes in a quiet place and offer forgiveness to each person individually:
“I offer forgiveness to ………………………….. I forgive you for …………………………………..
Now, I am free and you are free, too. I release you to your divine plan of life. Everything between us is cleared up, now and forever.”
When you have forgiven everyone you can remember, go into your past lives and offer forgiveness to those who need it:
“I offer forgiveness to everyone in my past life who has damaged me in some way. I forgive everyone for whatever he/she did. Now, I am free and you are free, too. I release you now. Everything between us is cleared up, now and forever.”
These forgiveness meditations may take more than a day. Actually, they may take several weeks or even months. Don’t worry about this. Take whatever time is necessary. Forgive a person or few persons each day when you have a few moments.
As you do this, notice how you feel when this happens. Notice how much better you feel with each meditation. Notice how much better you look. Notice how much younger you act. Notice how much excess weight you are losing.
You may not observe any changes immediately. However, you will begin to see yourself, your environment, and your world improved, healed, more beautiful.
As you forgive people and release them to their divine plans…
You will feel better.
Your vocabulary will change.
Your thoughts will be positive.
You will feel free.
You will feel light.
Replace the negativity with love.
Bring love alive in your life.
Eat, sleep, and breathe love.
ENJOY!

The Third Chakra and Reflexology
The reflex point for the third Chakra is the upper half of the instep, below the ball of the foot. This reflex point is found on both feet. Third Chakra issues include
anger
shame
victimization
self esteem
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN ABOUT THIRD CHAKRA ISSUES WITHOUT QUESTIONING:
How important is doubt in your life?
Can you make decisions?
How important is fear in your life?
Are you able to carry through decisions and plans to fruition?
Do you have to be right in every decision?
Do you always have to be the center of attention?
Do you lack willpower?
Do other people control your life?
Do you think for yourself?
Do you act on your own?
Can you survive on your own initiative?
Anger is a third Chakra issue because that’s where much anger is stored. Depending on how the Chakra is balanced, anger can range from no energy to excessive energy. Third Chakra anger focuses on self-esteem because the third Chakra governs our power.
We can feel this anger and need for power in our solar plexus, the home of the third Chakra in the body. This Chakra is where we feel “butterflies” when we are nervous as we develop our personal will.
The third Chakra is closely connected to Chakras one and two as energy moves up the spine from the base. As the energy reaches the third Chakra, it begins to take on a shape and a vocabulary as it finds its voice. The third Chakra is where we develop our own personal truth, formulate our own personal authority, and integrate personal power into our lives.
The third Chakra is the result of the development of the first and second Chakras. This is where we give voice to our truths.
Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer homeostasis, the balance of all body systems.
Reiki therapy sessions balance the Chakras.
Meditation is important to a balanced third Chakra. An unbalanced third Chakra creates a person unable to manage power.
An unbalanced third Chakra affects one’s posture, body language, and spinal alignment. It’s difficult to separate the physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties in this area. Yoga helps.
Physically, the third Chakra governs:
Stomach
Liver
Spleen
Pancreas
Gall Bladder
The third Chakra is a major power point. When you work with your client partner’s third Chakra, you offer an opportunity for the person to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

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.

Kidney Infections should not be ignored. They are serious.
Kidney infections have many causes. If left medically untreated, they can be fatal. Kidney infections often begin in the lower urinary tract as bacterial infections or toxins in the blood and proceed up the body through the ureters. UTIs should be treated by a competent healthcare professional as early in the disease as possible.
Spiritually, kidneys are about balance as well as both building up and letting go. Kidneys help build red blood cells. They also are about letting go as they filter out unwanted substances, releasing those elements which are toxic or damaging in some way.
If your kidneys are bothering you, definitely seek competent medical help but also look at your life and ask: “How can I best release the negativity in my life?”
When working a kidney disorder, begin by working the immune system with emphasis on the spleen.
Work the endocrine system with emphasis on the adrenal glands.
Work the urinary system with emphasis on the kidneys, bladder, ureter, and urethra.
Work the lymphatic system.
Finish up the session by working the liver and the solar plexus.

Bladder Infections can take many forms due to germs in the kidneys, ureters, or bloodstream.
Bladder infections usually begin in the lower lower urinary tract: urethra and bladder. If not treated, they can progress up the tract to the ureters and kidneys. Several factors cause urinary tract infections (UTIs): sexual intercourse, long-term catheterization in the bladder, congenital urinary tract abnormalities, bladder obstructions and an impaired immune system. Examples here would be diabetes, or a person taking high doses of cortisone. Incomplete emptying of the bladder also encourages UTIs.
FOR WOMEN: Things which help prevent UTIs include wiping from front to back following a bowel movement, avoiding deodorant sprays, douches, powders. Drink plenty of water, consum yogurt, kefir, and acidophilus milk. Always urinate whenever you feel the urge, urinate after intercourse, wear cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes.
There is an spiritual/emotional component to bladder infections. The urinary system begins to break down when your life is upheaval. Words that describe situations inviting bladder infections include anger, irritation, bitterness, fear, grief, guilt.
Reflexology for the spirit sessions are definitely called for with a UTI. The homeostasis offered is a significant contribution. However, a healthcare professional must be consulted because these infections can quickly escalate from a nuisance to something much more serious.
Begin the session by working the solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes.
Work the spleen reflex.
Work the digestive system with emphasis on the liver.
Work the endocrine system with emphasis on the adrenal glands.
Work the urinary system with emphasis on the bladder and kidney reflexes.
Work the lymphatic system reflexes.

Sinusitis – Reflexology for the Spirit Helps
A scourge. That’s what Sinusitis is.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the sinuses. It can be caused by allergies, pollutants, temperature extremes, and upper respiratory infections.
Several things can be done to deal with sinusitis. One of the first things is to try to determine what the underlying causes might be: allergies, dental infection.
If you know you have a tendency to suffer with sinus infections, try to deal with the allergies, use saline nasal sprays daily, and take natural decongestants and immune-enhancing herbs.
Visiting an otolaryngologist and an allergist helps also. The main thing is to keep the sinuses as clear as possible and to maintain drainage. This will encourage homeostasis when the reflexology session is given.
People become susceptible to sinus infections when they experience irritation, fear, anger, frustration. Sinus infections tend to occur when a person has a difficult situation in life and doesn’t know how to resolve it.
When offering a Reflexology for the Spirit session to a sinusitis sufferer, begin by working the endocrine system with emphasis on the pituitary gland and adrenal gland reflexes. Work the respiratory system with emphasis on the sinus reflexes. Focus on the lymphatic system reflexes. End the session by working the liver and solar plexus.

Depression can be both physical and Spiritual and definitely affects the Respiratory System
Depression occurs when a person undergoes stress and tension manifested as anxiety, fear. Factors contributing to depression include death of a close friend or relative, moving to a new location, buying and selling a home, changing employment, financial worries, divorce, feeling that a situation is hopeless.
Depression becomes monumental to its sufferers. Depression can become a huge weight carried around by its sufferers. Just the words associated with depression carry weight: overwhelmed, failure, anger, helplessness, misguided, fatigue, melancholy, anger.
No one should suffer through depression without medical help. A competent medical professional should guide a depressed person through the situation by searching the person’s health and background to discover:
underlying diseases and preexisting medical conditions
proper specific nutritional guidelines
prescription drugs which may be contributing to the depression
what sleep disturbances may be contributing to the situation
what environmental toxins may be contributing to the worsening of the situation
what lifestyle factors may be involved,
what allergies, if any are contributing to the situation.
Throughout all this, the person needs counseling, an exercise coach, and regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions as well as a support system of health care professionals.
When working with a depressed client partner, you may be offering different sessions at different times depending on the person’s journey to health. A good beginning protocol includes working the solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes, then moving on to the endocrine system with emphasis on the pituitary reflexes, the thyroid and parathyroid glad reflexes. Then, work the respiratory system with focus on the lung reflexes. The urinary tract should be worked with emphasis on the kidney reflexes. End with the spine reflexes. The goal here is homeostasis.

Reflexology Blog – Arthritis: Seeking a Spiritual Solution
Arthritis is inflammation of a joint. I wrote a long post about arthritis early in this blog/book. This post will focus on the spiritual aspects of the diseases called Arthritis.
Joints are very important to us. They enable us to move through life. We move in many ways throughout the day: walking, running, jumping, pushing, pulling, carrying. Just think: without our joints we could not hug one another.
And, of course, that’s what happens when we suffer with arthritis. Arthritis reflects stiffness, rigidity, an inability to give.
For my thinking, arthritis reflects anger and criticism.
Joint inflammation tells me the sufferer is conflicted, resistant, angry with life patterns and events. The person is unable to do the things s/he wants to do and is becoming angry and frustrated.
Persons with joint stiffness are unable to express themselves the way they need to.
When I think of inflammation, I think of the build-up of toxins. So…when toxins build up in the joints, what are they exactly? Joint toxins include anger, critical attitude, frustration, bitterness, resentment.
This doesn’t mean you abandon efforts to cure these diseases. What it DOES mean is that you do everything necessary to remain active and well. You do everything possible to bring about homeostasis…including the return to a positive mental attitude. So, while you are visiting the doctor, physical therapist, yoga class, reflexology for the spirit practitioner, you need to ask yourself questions which will help you return to your normal, positive self:
What in your life is making you angry?
Is your life out of control? Who or what is controlling your life?
What can you do to make your life more receptive to positive influences?
What can you do to lessen the anger in your life?
Is forgiveness possible?
Have you lost direction or purpose in your life?
