Reflexology, Reiki, and Your Self-Care Diet Journey
Your diet is a life-changing self-care journey.
A successful diet begins with a plan . For many, this plan begins and ends with the diet itself. Nobody gets past whether the diet is Keto or low carbohydrate or low calorie diet or any one of hundreds of weight-loss diets.
The diet itself is only a part of the total package. A diet is a time when you embark on a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical self-care journey. And, surprisingly, it’s not really about getting to a certain body size. The quest for a body with perfect proportions is doomed before it even starts.
Your total diet package is a quest for a healthy body that functions, not just window dressing.
These upcoming blog posts are keys focused on helping you achieve your goal. They offer you tools to change your life so that you achieve your own goals. There is no authority here telling you what is best for you.
Except you. You are your own authority. No one is going to challenge what is right or wrong for you.
This is your ultimate self-care manual. As you read these blog posts, use whatever tools work best for you, your health and your well-being.
They help you achieve your self-care goals as they share ways to boost your energy, enliven and calm your mind, balance your emotions, and prevent, control, and reverse health problems you experience.
Your life-changing, self-care journey begins with reflexology and reiki sessions. My hope is that you will schedule at least one session each week.
Keep a journal describing your feelings and reactions after each session:
Are you sleeping better?
Are you calmer?
Maybe you are more excitable.
What about your bowel movements?
What does your skin look like?
Whatever happens to you, write down what you observe. It may take several sessions before you feel and observe differences. Or, you may see changes from the first session.
There is no wrong or right way to experience reflexology and Reiki. Each person is different.
Regular sessions are important for your self-care diet journey.
You may perceive some obstacles here. Now is a good time to overcome them. Find a Reiki master teacher and learn Reiki 1 if you don’t know where to get the sessions. A Reiki 1 class will teach you everything you need to help yourself in a successful journey.
Is $$$ an obstacle? Offer an exchange of some kind.
Regular foot reflexology sessions are ideal. if you don’t know a reflexologist, get a book and chart on hand reflexology and give yourself a session.
Thank you for reading this blog post. It’s the beginning of several articles written with you and your successful diet in mind. The things I suggest in them are not listed by how important they are.
Each suggestion is equally important. More important is how they interest you. And how each item motivates you to progress on your journey. I’m hoping you will see each change you make as an achievement toward your goal.
As you continue down your diet path, I’m hoping you will let each change be a new habit you can live with for the rest of your life.

I’m looking forward to joining you on your journey.

Eczema is both a spiritual disease and a way of hiding.
Spiritually, you have negative attitudes about unpleasant events in your life. You want to hide yourself and how you feel.
Eczema is a fairly common skin condition which is become even more common. Your skin becomes inflamed, red, and itchy, as you react to soaps, detergent, household chemicals, food, house dust, and other environmental irritants.
Eczema’s itchy patches appear on your skin before the redness. Allergies, immune system overload and stress cause Eczema. Flaking skin and a rash appear on your legs, hands, face, neck.
Eczema likes inner knees and elbows of children.
If the condition doesn’t improve within a week, or if it becomes infected, you need to see a medical professional.
Regular reflexology, Reiki, and chakra healing sessions will help manage its side effects during treatment. Regular sessions will also encourage homeostasis as your body normalizes itself when immune system overload is minimized as you clean up your environment.
Eczema triggers which cause outbreaks include animal dander, anger, cleaning products, drugs, foods, fragrances, poor circulation, stress. One of your tasks with Eczema is to identify which products are your own personal triggers.
The most common foods provoking Eczema attacks include milk, eggs, wheat, fish, and foods with soy.
A journal may help you. Keep a diary and pinpoint some potential food and environmental triggers. This will make your eczema experience easier for you.
Eczema happens when your immune system is overloaded so a clean environment is critical. This includes air, your body, car, home, work place, and the water you drink and wash with.
When you clean out the toxins, your health will have a chance to improve. When this happens, your reflexology sessions will be more effective, and you will have a better chance to manage Eczema’s side effects.
In the middle of this, try to get a little sun every day.
This information may be a bit daunting. However, cleaning up your body and the environment where you live and work is easier than you might think. For starters, throw out all your cleaning supplies and cosmetics. Replace them with non-toxic products which won’t worsen your situation.
Then, clean up your diet by cooking and eating only foods which have no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives. Eat nothing with additives.
It has been said that health begins and ends in the color. You may decide to have a colon cleanse followed by a liver cleanse. The important thing is to treat your digestive disorders.
When you clean up your environment and clean out your body, it will be easier for you to cope with stressful situations.
I cleaned out my body and my home and my car and my workplace. It was an effort but much easier than it seems.
First, I identified the products I felt were the least threatening to my body. I did my research and identified Dr. Bronner’s soap as my household cleanser. I chose my creams from three companies: Dr. Hauschka, Jurlique, and Weleda. I chose Jurlique and used it for years. I finally switched to Weleda because I could buy it locally at Woodstock Apothecary.
But, I never replaced the cosmetics I threw out. I decided I didn’t need them. I’ve saved myself many hours and much money by not wasting money on or time applying make-up to my face every day. I saved the cosmetics for parties.
Dr. Bronner’s soap worked well for me because my body liked the product. I chose the peppermint formula and still use it every day My transition to Dr. Bronner’s was easy because the company has a “cheat sheet” with all the recipes I needed. Dr. Bronner’s is also on You Tube. I also liked Dr. Bronner’s because I could buy it everywhere.
I chose my first recipe when I bought a small, glass dropper bottle and filled it with Dr. Bronner’s. I use one drop of Dr. Bronner’s soap when I brush my teeth. (Yes, it tastes just like soap!)
My clothes experienced a transition, too. For starters, I really now have very few pieces in my wardrobe that need dry cleaning. (Non-existent dry cleaning bills were a nice surprise!)
I use Dr. Bronner’s to clean every room in my house. The Cheat Sheet had all the recipes.

TREATMENT GOAL
If you can avoid the itch-scratch-itch cycle and prevent potential infection, your situation will improve.
