In a Perfect World…
We would all be disease free
Our brains would stay sharp
We would all experience good energy levels
Physical fitness would be very common
Everyone would feel young.
But, we don’t live in a perfect world. The question is this: How can we be disease-free physically fit, have sharp brains, experience less stress, feel young?
One way is to honor our immune system. It is our immune system which keeps us healthy, disease free, physically fit, mentally sharp.
People visit reflexologists regularly as they strive to prevent as much disease as possible. And, they are correct to do this. As reflexologists, we work to facilitate homeostasis – bring balance.
Focusing on the immune system is important, not only for the diseases we think about: colds, flu, etc., but for many other diseases we consider to be lifestyle or aging diseases:
MS
thyroid disease
colitis
rheumatoid arthritis
diabetes.
When the immune system is out of balance, it can become overactive. An overactive immune system participates in the aging process as it encourages autoimmune diseases.
As a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner, you are important to the health maintenance of your client partners. Your client partners will be healthier when their immune systems function at peak levels. An immune system functions at its peak when it successfully fights off viruses, bacteria, parasites.
Encourage your clients to contribute to a healthy immune system. As a reflexologist, you offer sessions and you also work to ground your client partners so they can do everything they need to do to keep themselves healthy:
breathe properly and therapeutically
eat a diet which is healthy for the individual
sleep sufficiently
exercise
smell the flowers
This is really what Marge d’Urso meant when she emphasized that reflexologists work with the whole client partner as we offer homeostasis.

What is Reflexology for the Spirit?
Reflexology for the Spirit works with reflex points (nerve endings) in the hands, feet, and ears corresponding to specific areas throughout the body. This book deals with the feet only, but the reflex points are also in the hands and ears (we leave these for the subject of another book). It’s a system which, when applied, may help many existing health conditions.
These reflex points offer a map which is both easy to read and use. The left side of the body is reflected in the left foot and the right side of the body is reflected in the right foot.
Reflexology for the Spirit is a natural whole body modality, so many people find they have an aptitude for this hands-on work.
We’re dealing with the energy links and systems of which our bodies are made. Students are often surprised at how logical the reflexology system is: the brain is read as a reflection in the toes, the lower spine is in the heel. The internal organs are in the spaces in between. This is exciting stuff.
The first place a disease or imbalance can be detected and subsequently treated is in the feet. Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners often detect ailments, problems, and diseases before they manifest symptoms anywhere else in the body. These are described as crystals, resistance, mushiness, emptiness, hollows, etc. They also can be felt through the sensations the client partner experiences.
The next post will complete the opening portion of this chapter. After that, we’ll be discussing specific health issues: allergies, anxieties, MS, stress, to name only a few.
