Reflexology For The Spirit

spirituality of one's health

Nausea!

Nausea, an unpleasant but  familiar sensation, has been experienced by all of us at one time or another.

NAUSEA HAS MANY PHYSICAL CAUSES:

Alcohol Binges

Chemotherapy

Food Poisoning

Gallbladder Disorders

High Fever

Intestinal Blockages

Migraine Headache

Motion Sickness

Overeating

Pregnancy

Viral Infection

Spiritually, a person suffers with nausea when s/he is in a situation without sufficient coping skills.  Fear looms large here.

There are some things that will help nausea:

Ginger tea, powdered ginger, or candied ginger is known to help with motion sickness.  Pregnant women should not take ginger in any form without speaking with the physician first.

Slowly drinking clear or ice-cold liquids such as juices, sweetened beverages often helps.  Dehydration must be avoided..

Plain crackers are important to women suffering with morning sickness.

Slowly eat smaller, more frequent meals.

If possible, rest lying propped up sometimes helps.

Reflexology helps.  Begin the session by working the solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes.

Work the nervous system and focus on the brain reflexes.

Work the ear reflexes.

Work the digestive system as you focus on the stomach and intestinal reflexes.

Reiki therapy is entirely appropriate here for nausea.

If the person is still nauseated after 24 hours, it’s time to call a professional healthcare specialist.

Caution! Gallstones Can be Very Painful!

Anybody who has ever known anyone with gallstones will pay attention to the  causes of this very painful situation.  And, the causes are pretty straight forward:

cholesterol in the bile

obesity

alcohol consumption

cirrhosis

So, just for starters, if you’re concerned about gallstones, get out there and exercise.

EAT VEGETABLES, VEGETABLES, AND VEGETABLES.

Many people have gallstones without the symptoms so if you think you might have them, go right ahead with the diet and exercise.

I don’t have to write this, because gallstones are so painful, but…if you have severe pain which might be in your gallbladder area, it’s really necessary to be under a physician’s care.  Even the most severe holdouts will go to the doctor willingly with  gallstones.

THE SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF A GALLSTONE ATTACK ARE PRETTY EASY TO UNDERSTAND.  People suffering with gallstones are also suffering with anger, fear, irritability, resentment.  A person suffering with gallstones is having trouble finding not only a person to blame but is also having trouble with forgiveness.   With gallstone sufferers, this situation has been going on for a fairly long time.

When offering a reflexology session to a person concerned about gallstones, begin by working the entire digestive system with a focus liver reflex.

Focus on the gallbladder reflex.

Work the intestinal reflex.

Work the  endocrine system.

Finish the session with a focus on the liver and solar plexus.

As always, thank you for reading this post.

Anxiety Affects Many People Both Physically and Spiritually

ANXIETY AFFECTS CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND ADULTS.    Anxiety is the word used to describe feelings  ranging from mild unease to intense fear.

ANXIETY CREATES A VARIETY OF SYMPTOMS BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL.  Common physical symptoms include heart palpitations, stabbing pains, shortness of breath, headaches, back pains, and muscle spasms.  Excessive sweating, dizziness, digestive problems also are included in this lineup.

SPIRITUAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE FEELINGS OF INSECURITY, FEAR, HELPLESSNESS.  Spiritual issues also include preoccupation  with the future and past.  A person’s life  has a flow which anxiety can get in the way of.

A person suffering with anxiety needs, first, to learn to try to overcome the fear which plagues anxiety sufferers.  Getting proper medical care as well as nutritional advice along with reflexology can help.

Because anxiety has a strong physical aspect to it, it’s important for the sufferer to be aware of the proper nutritional needs in addition to the needed medical care.  This involves eating the proper foods, recognizing what food allergies exist, and identifying the needed vitamins and minerals necessary for a recovery.

MANY PEOPLE CAN LESSEN THEIR SYMPTOMS BY ELIMINATING CAFFEINE, SUGAR, AND  ALCOHOL FROM THE DIET.

I always recommend calling Liz at Village Vitality (Woodstock Apothecary) for an analysis of vitamins and minerals needed.  Her number is 845-679-0790.

When offering reflexology sessions to a person suffering with anxiety attacks, the first step is to work the entire endocrine system to balance the spiritual aspects of the issues.

Work the nervous system.

Work the digestive system and focus on the pancreas reflexes.

Work the endocrine system and  focus  on the pituitary gland reflexes, the thyroid and parathyroid reflexes.

Finish the session by working the liver and solar plexus.

Reflexology Blog – Digestive System

THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS BEGINS WHEN WE CHEW OUR FOOD.  It continues as the body breaks down the food we eat and turns it into subtances which can be absorbed and used for growth, repair, energy.

The digestive system is composed principally of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and the anal canal.

IT IS  EMOTIONAL  AND IS QUICK TO TELL US IF IT ‘S NOT WORKING PROPERLY.  That is one strong argument for reflexology sessions.  They bring about homeostasis which is important to digestive health.  We have a tendency to hold worry  in our stomach.

Once food is eaten, it travels down the pharynx and esophagus to the stomach.  When the food leaves the stomach it moves to the small intestine.  This is where most of the nutrients are absorbed.  This is also where fear can find a safe place.

What actually happens in the process of digestion regarding the food and the interaction of the food with the chemicals and how the body absorbs the resulting nutrients is complicated.  This process is not completely understood by many people.

A good description can be found in several chapters of “The South Beach Diet” by Dr. Frank Agatston in which he describes the digestive very thoroughly using  a vocabulary we can all understand.

Finally, the large intestine moves the undigested and unabsorbable food to the anal canal and rectum where it is excreted.

Eating and digesting food is  not just about getting nutrition.  It’s a very spiritual process.  How do we assimilate things that are happening in our lives and in the world around us?  Our digestive system not only absorbs nutrients and discards those things not needed but we also use our digestive system to absorb feelings, sensations, experiences.    When we are forced to hold back our feelings, it’s reflected in our digestive health.

It has been said that health begins and ends in the intestinal tract.  It is true that an unhappy, angry, frustrated person has a much harder time maintaining digestive balance and health.

WHEN WE WORK THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM REFLEXES, WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO NORMALIZE THE FLOW OF DIGESTING FOOD THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

Although all the parts of the digestive system are very important in a Reflexology for the Spirit session, work the liver during every session.  The liver is a large organ and it has a bigger job to do because it’s a detoxing machine.  People are becoming more toxic because of the pesticides in our food, the toxins in our air and water, and the things we eat which aren’t really food.

Pay special attention to the large intestine when offering a Reflexology for the Spirit session.  Maintaining a healthy large intestine is extremely important to your client’s overall health.

Reflexology Blog – Anemia

ANEMIA OCCURS WHEN THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH RED BLOOD CELLS IN THE BODY TO SUFFICIENTLY OXYGENATE THE TISSUES.  Risk Factors include:

Diet insufficient in iron and B vitamins

Intestinal disorders

Chronic diseases

Although a person can have anemia without symptoms, common symptoms include:

fatigue

shortness of breath

elevated heart rate

chest pains

dizziness

headaches

cold feelings in arms and legs

SPIRITUAL ISSUES ACCOMPANYING ANEMIA ARE DISTINCE.   People dealing with anemia are exhausted for starters.  Add to the fatigue a loss of joy, creativity, and interest in life  and you have a negative mix which leaves the person feeling invalidated.  The end result is a person holding on to worries, concerns, and unresolved issues.

Two things need to happen:  the person needs to visit a good healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and begin possible medical treatment.  There may be underlying medical issues which need to be dealt with.  And,  the person needs  an appointment with Liz at Village Apothecary:  845-679-0790.

DEFINITE DIETARY ISSUES NEED TO BE DEALT WITH PROFESSIONALLY.  When I refer an anemia sufferer to  Liz, the result is usually a changed person with a couple of weeks.  And, this makes sense.  People  feel better when they have the dietary resources necessary to encourage their bodies to work properly.

Reflexology offers homeostasis and helps the person overcome  issues caused by anemia.

When offering a reflexology session to an anemia sufferer, begin by working the entire body.  Spend time on every body system.

Then finish the session by focusing on the spleen and liver reflexes.

Two Angels Help Heal Your Spirit – a Guided Meditation

Turn on some meditative music which you like.

Find a quiet place where you can be comfortable:  a special chair,  recliner,  massage table; someplace where you feel safe and can relax.

Now, get comfortable.  Begin relaxing.  Begin to breathe in relaxation and breathe out tension and negativity.  Breathe slowly and deeply from your abdomen.  Each in breath brings more and more relaxation.  Each exhale releases more and more stress.  Breathe so that you have a rhythm of centered peace, and calm.

As you become more centered and calm, you realize you are walking along a path in a  lush green forest.  You have a strong sense that you are in just the place where you are supposed to be.  You breathe in the woody scents of the forest around you.  These scents and aromas make you feel alive and well.

As you continue walking along, you feel the path beneath your feet.  You listen to the forest sounds:

squirrels rustling,

birds singing,

bees buzzing,

chipmunks scurrying.

You become one with this space.   You have a strong sense of belonging here.

As you walk along the forest path, you see a bench beside you.  Two angels are seated on this bench.   As you walk up to these angels you look carefully at them, noticing every detail of their appearance, their clothing, their halos, auras.

As you walk up to the bench you feel a strong sense of calm, and relaxation.  Each step toward the angels on the bench brings yet more relaxation.

You begin to feel that this space is yours.  You stand for a moment to enjoy this special space.  You notice details  which you will remember in the future as you return to this space which exists just for you.

Then, you turn your attention once again to the two angels.   These two angels are beautiful, perfect in every way.  You become aware that these two angels possess a special knowledge  to share with you.  They offer you knowledge of the infinite and they offer love.

These two angels are here, in this special forest, to answer any questions which you may have.  They are here to listen to your fears, hold you if you are lonely, and share their wisdom with you.

They invite you to sit down with them.  You join them on the bench.  You know they are not here to judge you.  They are offering you love, comfort, and guidance.

They are with you now to answer whatever questions you may have.  They want you to know that you are  important to them.

Ask whatever questions you have.  Be confident that the answers you receive will help to heal you.  You may ask more than one question.

Pause now for a moment to receive answers.  Know  that some answers may come at this moment and others may come over the next few days. Be open to these answers.

After pausing for a few moments,  it is time to return to your surroundings.  Once again, you become aware of your breathing.  You open your eyes to the room you are in.  You still enjoy the sense of peace, comfort, calm  that you felt in the forest.

You know you are special to these two angels and you know you can return to the bench in the forest anytime you want or need.

Thank you for reading this healing guided meditation.

Menopause

What can I say?  Two words that come to  mind about menopause:

explore

discover

FOR STARTERS, VERY LITTLE IS ACTUALLY KNOWN ABOUT MENOPAUSE.  Each woman experiences it differently.  It’s a time when the body begins to change and there’s not much  we can do beyond just try to enjoy the trip.

If you spent your  30s and 40s caring for others and putting your needs on hold, you can now  find out what you want to do in life,  find your passion.

Ask  “What do I want out of life…for me?”

MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOURSELF.    Follow your bliss!  Become a gorgeous butterfly as you discover your new way of being and embrace  this new chapter of your life.

As you become aligned with the new self which is emerging, try to be as healthy as possible.  Nourish yourself with  diet, exercise,  Feed your spirit as well as your body.

COME OUT OF THIS CHANGE KNOWING YOURSELF MORE DEEPLY.    Drop all the labels. Know who you are spiritually.

And, don’t forget the reflexology for the spirit sessions.  Homeostasis is very important from here on out.

Open the menopause sessions with luscious foot warm ups.

Work the endocrine system to balance the body and soul during this important time in your life.  Focus on the pituitary gland reflexes, the thyroid and parathyroid reflexes, the ovary reflexes, and the uterus reflexes.

Move to the nervous system and focus on the brain reflexes.

End the session with focus on the solar plexus  and liver.

On behalf of women everywhere, I thank yo for reading this blog/book.

Infertility and Reflexology

EXPERIENCING INFERTILITY CAN BE DEVASTATING TO A COUPLE.    People  feel they’ve been victimized.  Life sometimes ceases to have meaning for some.  They become depressed, jealous.  Marriages sometimes fall apart.  People feel rejected, abandoned, inadequate, sad.

INFERTILITY HAS MANY CAUSES  – both physical, and emotional:  environmental, hormonal, genetic.  Drug usage, stress, blocked fallopian tubes or testicles, unconscious fears, childhood abuse, can all contribute to infertility.

In this country, people don’t often think of reflexology to help with infertility issues.  In other parts of the world, people trying to overcome infertility issues use the services of a reflexologist  successfully.

If you’re offering reflexology to a couple  dealing with infertility, begin the session by working the solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes.

Work the entire endocrine system and then focus on the pituitary gland reflexes, the ovary and testicle reflexes, and finally, the uterus and prostate reflexes.

Finish the session by returning to the solar plexus and then the liver reflexes.

REFLEXOLOGY SESSIONS NOT ONLY STIMULATE THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS BUT THEY ALSO HELP BALANCE ALL THE BODY SYSTEMS.   This is extremely important to a couple trying to create new life.

AND, I OFFER A FINAL SUGGESTION.   There are many reasons for infertility. Some are spiritual.  This may be a time for you to review what may be your life path and goals.  There are many, many children and other animals in dire need at this time on our planet.  At the risk of totally upsetting everyone who reads this blog, I submit to you that possibly your path includes embracing one or more of these precious beings into your life instead of bringing a new life into embodiment.

IS THE UNIVERSE TELLING YOU SOMETHING?   Listen carefully.  There are many ways to use your caring,  nurturing, and creative energy for the benefit of all mankind.  There are many creatures in need of the  love you have to offer.

On behalf of the many needy beings on this planet, I thank you for reading this blog/book.

Constipation – a Very Common Complaint

MARGE D’URSO TAUGHT ME THAT ABOUT 50% OF MY CLIENT-PARTNERS  SUFFER FROM CONSTIPATION.   She was not wrong.  Many times, a person comes to my table suffering with constipation and doesn’t even tell me about it.  However, over time, I hear about the situation when it’s in the past tense.

It is very difficult to receive regular reflexology sessions and suffer with constipation.

Constipation is often accompanied by gas and abdominal discomfort.  Physical causes include improper diet, stress, dehydration.

PEOPLE SUFFERING WITH CONSTIPATION OFTEN HAVE DIFFICULTY LETTING GO OF  THE PAST – EVENTS, BELIEFS.

People suffering with constipation can be very controlling.

People suffering with constipation can have relationships that need to end, jobs they need to leave, anger they need to let go of……

When offering Reflexology for the Spirit to a client partner suffering with constipation, begin by working the solar plexus and diaphragm.

Work the digestive system as you focus on the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and intestinal reflexes.

Work the endocrine system as you focus on the adrenal gland reflexes.

Finish the session by working the liver and solar plexus.

A Very Common but Rarely Discussed Health Issue – Hemorrhoids

AS WE AGE, MORE AND MORE OF US SUFFER WITH HEMORRHOIDS.   This makes sense when we realize that aging is part of the situation.  Spiritually,  as we age, some of us develop an inability to let go of life events.  We develop a feeling that life has been unfair as we become critical of ourselves as well as others.  Fear is always a factor in hemorrhoids.  Fear, anger, lack of self-confidence  Many of us cling to beliefs, opinions that are outdated.

ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL, HEMORRHOIDS ARE VARICOSE VEINS IN THE RECTUM AND ANUS AREAS.  They are considered to be harmless unless they become infected or rupture.  So, hemorrhoids become a part of our daily lives as the bowel movement becomes slower than we want and more difficult.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION, PERSISTENT DIARRHEA, PROLONGED SITTING, PREGNANCY, AND ANAL INTERCOURSE CONTRIBUTE TO HEMORRHOIDS.  Softening the stool, eating a high fiber diet, and being hydrated, help prevent hemorrhoids.

WHEN YOU OFFER REFLEXOLOGY TO A PERSON SUFFERING WITH HEMORRHOIDS,  begin by working the digestive system as you focus on the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder reflexes.

Work the endocrine system as you focus on the adrenal gland reflexes.

Work the intestinal reflexes.

Finish the session by working the liver and solar plexus.
