Reflexology for the Spirit is an Attitude, Part 2
Although there are stories about people receiving one Reflexology for the Spirit session and going away a changed person, this outcome is the exception to the rule. Generally speaking, several (or many) sessions are needed before the client partner undergoes the changes necessary to bring about healing from the soul out. reflexology, spiritual or regular, is a process, not a pill.
It’s not the place of a reflexologist to provide therapy to a person who has not tried to resolve his/her health issues by visiting a qualified healthcare professional. Reflexologists are not trained to provide services to clients who have not yet received a diagnosis from the primary medical care professional.
Diagnosis is important for the healing process. A person cannot heal without having a name for a disease or condition.
People with issues, who don’t get a diagnosis, never really know what their problem is. Also, their peers never give the person or the condition/disease the credibility it deserves. So, the first step to wellness is a diagnosis.
When a person under the care of a physician comes for regular (or sporadic) sessions s/he needs to continue with whatever meds and/or therapy which has been prescribed by the MD.
This is especially true if your client suffers with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.
Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners work with the diagnosis provided by the health care professional while recognizing, honoring, and offering healing to the soul which is manifesting issues in the sole.

Reflexology for the Spirit is an Attitude, not a Technique, Part 1 of 2
There are diseases requiring conventional allopathic medical therapy, complementary therapy, as well as healing therapy which touches the soul.
Not all reflexology sessions and not all reflexologists are spiritual.
A reflexology session and a reflexologist enter the realm of Reflexology for the Spirit healing when the intention is placed, when the medical condition requires it, and when your client partner is willing to cooperate.
Occasionally, you will have a client partner who seems to be on board with Reflexology for the Spirit but, for whatever reason, is unable to accept the healing balance (homeostasis) that this modality offers. So, you are then back to basic, mechanical reflexology. When a person rejects the spiritual aspect of reflexology, it’s because s/he is too sensitive for the work, the spiritual path of the disease does not permit this effort, the client is not ready to receive it, or it is not needed.
Not all reflexology sessions are spiritual in nature even if the reflexologist has been trained to provide Reflexology for the Spirit to client partners.
Reflexology for the Spirit is called for when the client has an unresolved physical, emotional, or spiritual issue.
Often a person will come to the Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner with a physical or other issue which has not been resolved by a health care practitioner.
(Please note, there is a big difference between a person explaining to you that the MD wanted to do A, B, and C and s/he just didn’t want to go there and someone explaining to you that s/he has gone to several MDs, and tried everything they offered and, still, no one has been able to resolve the issue.)

Swollen Ankles and Feet can be Troublesome to Your Client Partners
Focus warm ups on the swollen areas in addition to your regular warm ups. Schedule appointments later in the day when edema sufferers seem to have the most problems.
Try to get your client partner to consult a medical professional. Often, people don’t realize these issues can be symptoms of systemic problems needing medical attention. You’ll offer relief and solace to the spirit and you are going to reduce swelling but
a physician needs to give a diagnosis.
The underlying cause of edema needs to be addressed.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: warm ups to the swollen areas, urinary system, immune system, nervous system, digestive system with emphasis on the liver, circulatory system, and the solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: tangerine, geranium, German chamomile, wintergreen, peppermint, lavender, grapefruit, helichrysum.
Thanks again for reading the blog. Our next post is the final one in this portion of the book/blog. It will focus on Thickened Nails and Skin. After the post on the Thickened Nails and Skin, we’ll be shifting gears to focus on other factors important to a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner.

Sweaty Feet can be very “trying” for a Reflexologist.
For starters, the natural inclination is to just not touch the feet. Don’t worry. Use an antibacterial spray on the feet to clean them off. Wear gloves if you are worried that you’re going to “catch” something.
Remember this: A person with sweaty feet is a person whose Adrenal glands are in serious passing gear.
There are several things your client partner can do. We can’t prescribe these things but it’s nice to know what they are: soak the feet in salt water to change the bacteria, rub the feet with alcohol and let it dry, change shoes and socks often, and spritz with cleansing spray whenever possible.
Suggest a visit to a podiatrist to make certain there are no infections, etc. Whatever the condition, you still have a person with serious spiritual conditions needing your attention regularly.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: adrenals, nervous system, immune system, urinary system, digestive system with emphasis on the liver and the solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: bergamot, Roman chamomile, frankincense, lavender, marjoram, wintergreen, myrrh, rosemary, sandalwood, thyme, ylang ylang, and spruce.

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.

Skin Peeling is an Important Symptom in a Person’s Spiritual Life
Skin peeling on the feet or hands is a sign that the person is taking on a new life. Things are changing and this is reflected in the peeling.
Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer support as your client partner has new experiences and takes on new beliefs. Because changes are drastic enough to encourage the skin of the feet and/or hands to peel, this is a good time for colon and liver cleanses. Encourage your client partner to take the colon cleanse first and then take the liver cleanse.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, sense organs, digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, skeletal system, muscular system, liver and the solar plexus. Reiki therapy is called for here also.
ESSENTIAL OILS: lavender, lemon, tea tree, orange, geranium, rosewood, helichrysum, spikenard, ylang ylang, German chamomile, cypress, frankincense, myrrh, and oregano.
The next post will be a bit longer because it will deal with Stress.

Psoriasis is an Affliction of an Overactive Immune System
People with systemic infections and a stress sensitivity can suffer from psoriasis. When a sufferer has a flare-up, the skin cells begin to replace themselves too rapidly. Scaly patches result. Several things can be done to alleviate the situation. regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions in which the immune system is worked are a good first start toward achieving homeostasis.
It’s appropriate to combine Reiki therapy and Reflexology for the Spirit for psoriasis sufferers.
Violet Flame Reiki therapy or Lightarian Reiki therapy are good choices for psoriasis sufferers if you know either of them. If not, Usui Reiki therapy will definitely do the job.
It’s helpful for the sufferer to clean out the home, the car, the body, and workplace with pure, environmentally friendly products. as the cleaning process continues using non-toxic cleansers, it’s time to include an internal cleanse.
Encourage the daily use of body lotions. Pure products should also be used to shampoo the hair.
Encourage your client partner to work to achieve a good Ph balance. Drinking at least a quart of water daily is recommended.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: immune system, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine system, liver and solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: German or Roman chamomile, tea tree, patchouli, helichrysum, rose, and lavender. Helichrysum is a very important oil here.
Thanks for reading this post. The next few posts will focus on peeling skin, stress, sweaty feet, and swollen ankles.

We All Suffer From Fatigue at One Time or Another
Some people are so tired all the time they just ignore it. This is a total mistake. It’s often the first symptom of many, many illnesses including flu, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid problems, cancer, anemia, allergies, sinus infection, sleep deprivation, depression.
Fatigue can be one of the most important symptoms we experience warning us of disease. It can also be the symptom of a person whose emotional, physical, and spiritual reserves are empty.
Encourage your client partner to visit a primary healthcare provider who’s going to pay attention to his/her symptoms and try to find the cause. Whether the cause is physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, your Reflexology for the Spirit sessions will support your client in the quest for a life with more positive energy.
When you offer regular sessions to fatigue sufferers, you offer an opportunity to find deep relaxation and homeostasis.
Visits to a nutritionist to balance their diet and vitamin intake will help.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: Until the healthcare provider offers a diagnosis, work the immune system, skeletal system, nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, liver, and solar plexus. After a diagnosis is offered, work the systems necessary for dealing with these issues.
ESSENTIAL OILS: Until you receive a proper diagnosis from a healthcare provider, choose from peppermint, nutmeg, lemongrass, juniper, basil, lemon, rosemary, black pepper, thyme.

Eczema is an Itchy, Red Skin Irritation which Itches Before the Redness Appears
The eczema skin irritation first appears in itchy patches.
Several factors bring about eczema: stress, immune system overload, and allergies, all of which will respond positively to regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions. However, your client partner needs to identify what triggers the outbreaks and to adopt self-care strategies to control the problem.
Many eczema sufferers also have asthma.
Often, an eczema sufferer struggles with negative attitudes toward events in his/her life. When these occur, you see an eczema outbreak.
Typical things which set off an eczema bout include certain foods, drugs, animal dander, some metals, fragrances, cleaning products. Emotional stress, anger, poor circulation, and weather changes can compound the problem.
A little sun daily (10 minutes or so) can be helpful.
As with all immune system disorders, a clean environment is critical. This includes the home, car, air, water, body, workplace. Once a person begins to clean out the toxins, the body will have a chance to improve. Cleaning out involves discarding all the toxic cleansers and cosmetics in the home and replacing them with non-toxic cleansers and cosmetics which aren’t going to exacerbate the eczema.
Your client partner will be embarking on a journey of clean living which includes a diet free of toxins, chemicals, etc.
Since real health begins and ends in the colon, the next step is a colon cleanse.
Once the environment is cleaned up and the body is cleaned out, it will be easier to cope with stressful issues.
A hypoallergenic moisturizer is essential.
AREAS TO WORK: immune system, liver, lymphatics, digestive system, solar plexus
ESSENTIAL OILS: lavender, frankincense

When you work the Digestive System, you Help the Intestinal Trct Normalize Itself
Constipation is common in people seeking the services of Reflexology for the Spirit Practitioners. The good news is that the condition seldom continues as regularly scheduled Reflexology for the Spirit sessions progress. This is true of both children and adults.
Risk factors for constipation include a sedentary lifestyle, eating a low-fiber, high-fat diet, not getting enough liquids and, in my opinion, not getting enough vitamin C.
It’s difficult for the human body to achieve optimum health without a clean intestinal tract. Many conditions throughout the body can be improved as the intestinal tract begins to function properly.
Often, when you have a client partner coming for regular session to deal with constipation, you will begin to see a person who feels better, looks better, develops better eating habits, has more energy, and has a more generous outlook on life.
Although sessions offer a gentle detox, a colon cleanse followed by a liver cleanse will improve things immensely.
In normalizing colon function, dry brushing after bathing, lymphatic cleansing with exercise, weekly Reflexology for the Spirit sessions and regular use of a mini trampoline in addition to the cleanse will help.
AREAS TO WORK: digestive system, immune system, lymphatics, urinary system, liver and solar plexus
ESSENTIAL OILS: anise, peppermint, ginger, fennel, tarragon
