Colon Cleanses and Liver Cleanses: What do They Have to do With Reflexology?
Colon and liver cleanses are referred to throughout this blog/book. They’re important to one’s overall health if the goal is homeostasis. It’s very hard to achieve homeostasis with a toxic body. Diseases and health issues are easier to deal with when the body is clean.
It’s been said that health begins and ends in the colon. For me, this statement is true.
Colon cleanses are neither expensive nor complicated. Basically, you go to your local health food store, select an item from the colon cleanse products on the shelf, take it home and follow the direction. Cleanses involve taking pills or powders for a specific period of time such as a week.
For the most part, cleanse product are gentle and easy to take.
Liver cleanses are usually found on a different shelf. You do the same thing with liver cleanses that you do with the colon cleanses: Select a product, follow the directions.
Remember: Complete the colon cleanse before you begin the liver cleanse. If you take the liver cleanse before the colon cleanse, you may not feel well during the cleanse. This is also true if you take both the colon cleanse and the liver cleanse together. The uncomfortable feeling occurs when too many toxins are released at the same time.
You need to have the colon clean before you begin the liver cleanse because when the liver releases toxins, you need a clean colon to wash the toxins from the body.
That’s it.
Thanks again for reading this post. Our next post will focus on the many benefits of a Reflexology for the Spirit session. Hope you’ll join in on this post as well. As always, this post comes to you from my healing space in Woodstock, NY

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.
Thanks again for reading this blog. The next post will discuss colon cleanses and liver cleanses.

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.
