Envision Balance and Wellness

Envision balance  and wellness,  homeostasis,  or whatever you want.

After including reflexology in your life, the most important thing you  can do to bring about homeostasis is to become aware of the path you are now on..

We’re never going to get where we need to go unless we know:

where we’re going,

how we’re going to get there,

what we’re going to do when we arrive.  .

This may seem like a subject that doesn’t belong in a reflexology text book, but it really does.  If you’re going to help people get to a better place health wise, they need to know where they are going.  Not everyone knows about setting goals.  As you teach them goal setting  they’ll  envision the balance and wellness which  is best for themselves and their health.  And, you, likewise will benefit from setting your own goals.

Learning  the importance of how to envision balance and wellness is a good start.

Sometimes, client partners come to a reflexologist, massage therapist, or whomever. After a few visits they begin to feel better and forget why they came in the beginning.  Then they stop coming.  Without lecturing, teach them that energy follows intent.

Your client partners need to see Reflexology for the Spirit as a process, not a pill.  Keep them (and yourself) focused on  what you find as you reflex their feet.  You do this when you learn, gently, what is happening in their lives and their visits to other healthcare professionals.

Review, periodically, how their feet have changed, and how these changes affect their health in general as they envision balance and wellness.

You can keep your client partners focused on the goal if you know what it is.  So, an important question to ask during the first visit is “Why did you come today?  And, why not 6 months ago?  Or 2 months ago?”

When  you can get the answer to that question, you’ll both be on the way to balance and wellness (homeostasis) through a health goal.

Many healthcare professionals recognize health red flags.  These flags differ from professional to professional.  They can be

test results

client appearance

client remarks.

Red flags for a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner include:

fatigue

loss of appetite

fever

pain

itching

boils

irritation

inflammation

headaches

feeling jumpy or uneasy

coated tongue

halitosis

colitis

sinusitis

stomach ulcers

canker sores

boils

cancer

Many of your client partners may have  multiple issues.

Each individual is unique.  But, homeostasis is a goal that all can seek.

When this happens, the body is in a good health balance.

Disease is a sign that the flow toward homeostasis has reversed.  So, the red flag words become markers teaching how far away from homeostasis the body has drifted.

You, as the Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner, are concerned with a person as a whole.  You work to create a natural balance that is wellness oriented.

You seek to expand the positive potential for good health in all areas.

Disease prevention is the best medicine.

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.

When You Consider the Pace and Demands of Life in the 21st Century, it’s no Wonder that Stress is a Huge Factor and Issue in our Health Care Dilemma

The causes are overwhelming and include lifestyle situations, medications, time management, relationship issues, which produce biological responses, any or all of which can contribute to making a person somewhat, or even very, ill.  Many people live with stressed adrenal glands.

Prolonged stressful situations can have effects lasting an entire lifetime.  In some cases, children growing up in stressful or abusive situations maintain a stress alert throughout adulthood so they never seem unstressed.  This can contribute to disease even decades later.

Stress weakens the immune system and, because of this, becomes a factor in diseases such as angina, anorexia, anxiety disorders, autoimmune disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, colds, depression, Type II Diabetes, digestive diseases, fibromyalgia, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, immune suppression, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual irregularities, PMS, rheumatoid arthritis, sinusitis, ulcerative colitis, ulcers.

“Flare ups” because of an event or problem can trigger outbreaks of acne, arthritis, asthma, heartburn, Multiple Sclerosis.

It’s important for your client partners to develop positive coping habits to manage stress.  These include yoga, meditation, tai chi, regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions.

A healthy diet is essential for stress management.  People suffering from the effects of stress should restrict or eliminate caffeine, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates.  Meals should be eaten in a relaxed atmosphere.

Reflexology for the Spirit facilitates homeostasis.  It can also be used to calm the adrenal glands.  This is essential when dealing with stress.

SYSTEMS TO WORK:  thyroid, parathyroid, and pituitary reflexes as well as the lung, kidney, spinal reflexes and the solar plexus.  Include extra warm ups and warm downs.

ESSENTIAL OILS:  lavender, Roman chamomile, blue tansy, cedarwood, marjoram, rose, sandalwood, and frankincense.

Thanks for reading this blog.  We are approaching the end of this section.  There are three posts  remaining:  Sweaty Feet,  Swollen Ankles, and Thickened Nails.  After those posts,  we’ll explore some spiritual and non-spiritual treatments for different medical issues.

As always, this post is coming to you from my healing space in Woodstock, NY.

Peace and food for all.

Allergies and Reflexology for the Spirit

The next several posts will be devoted to the issues presented by allergies.

Allergies plague many people year round and present spiritual challenges.  Although people don’t realize it, very few people have food allergies.  Most allergy sufferers experience conditions like sinusitis, hay fever, and asthma.  In order to overcome allergies successfully, a real commitment is needed.  Clients suffering from allergies should visit a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner weekly.  This is a long term commitment, not just a few visits.

They can lessen or prevent outbreaks of sinusitis, hay fever, etc., by avoiding allergy triggers.  This boils down to asking the question:  What is the source of the allergy?

On a spiritual level, allergy sufferers are dealing with a power struggle and how it affects them which translates into allergies.

People allergic to pollens should try to avoid them.  People with sensitivities to indoor allergens should use dust mite covers on their mattresses and pillows and eliminate house dust as much as possible.

Pets are often a source of allergic reactions.  People should not have to give up their pets because of allergies.  after all, pets offer so much.  A couple of things your client partners can do is brush the pets often and bathe them weekly in a shampoo that doesn’t cause an allergic reaction in the humans.

Cats are easy to bathe if you can avoid letting them hear the splashing water.  Gently lower your cat into a sink of warm water.  Soap the cat up, then gently rinse it in warm running water that doesn’t make splashing noises.  Towel your cat dry.   Fold up the used towel and then launder it.

In the next two posts, we’ll be discussing more things your client partners can do to make life with allergies easier.

Thanks for reading this post.

Peace and food for all.
