Reflexology For The Spirit

spirituality of one's health

Listen!

 

treeWhat is your body telling you? Listen!

When you  listen, all four parts of your self will tell you what you need to hear:  Your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual selves will speak to you.

Are you tired?

Do you suffer from a sleep deficit?

Are you unable to sleep because you are burning the candle at both ends?

Are you deeply troubled?

Are you studying for an exam?

Are you trying to get a promotion at work?

When do you need to rest?

Do you need to play?

How long has it been since you just had fun?

What is your work situation?

We all have cycles.  What are yours?

When are you at your best?

Keep a regular, predictable schedule every day of the year.  Listen!  Your internal clock will develop a schedule of eating, sleeping, and exercising at the same time each day.  Respect the regularity of this schedule.

Schedule some relaxation time each day.  Give your brain a break.  Let it review the day’s experiences.  Allow your brain to turn events into memories.  This will encourage the learning process.  Allow your brain to refresh itself.

Listen!  Every part of your body stores emotions, memories, thoughts, based on what the body part does for you.  For example, your ears will store these emotions, memories, thoughts, that relate to hearing.  Become more aware of events that contribute to issues or diseases  in the particular parts of your body.

Find time to move your body at intervals throughout the day.  This means taking the stairs whenever possible.  Walk when you talk on the phone.  Park farther away from your destination and walk to your destination.

When we ignore our bodies, stress, tension, fear, frustration, depression, anxiety,  and disease set in.

As a reflexologist, you will improve both your life and your career significantly if you honor your circadian clock.  Take a break every couple of hours to check in with yourself and see how things are going.

When you begin to honor your clock, you will find yourself keeping a regular schedule.  This regular schedule is a tonic for some.  For others, it is a wonder drug.

Your body will love you for this because it loves predictability.  Stress is related more to lack of a schedule than to finances, marital problems, children, or work.

When you listen to your needs and  offer your body predictability, you invite homeostasis into your life.

If you are new to this blog, I wrote a series of posts in which I offered suggestions and guidelines about how to listen to your body and also how to communicate with different parts of your body to bring about healing and homeostasis.  You can find them in contents section of this blog.  They were in late 2014 and early 2015.  Most of the posts were entitled “Spirituality of……”

Teach your client partners about their circadian clocks.    You will then improve their lives and careers.  How cool is that?
