Reflexology For The Spirit

Sleep…Blessed Sleep

DSCN0210

People seek out reflexologists when  they have sleep issues.    And, visiting  a reflexologist regularly  to encourage quality sleep is a good thing to do.  Very few people receiving regular Reflexology for the Spirit  sessions have problems sleeping.

Regular sessions encourage homeostasis.  It’s  impossible to achieve homeostasis and have sleep issues at the same time.

Your body systems know immediately if you are sleeping properly.    This is the rule:

The better you sleep, the better your immune system functions.

Your immune system needs to be calm and relaxed  to function  properly.  This won’t  happen if you’re not sleeping properly.  Your immune system needs your body to receive not only enough sleep but the quality must be good as well.

Your body repairs itself as you sleep.  Your immune system maintains itself.     In order for this to happen,  stress levels must be turned down.  This happens during sleep.

Except when it doesn’t.  There are sleep situations where the stress levels are not diminished.  Examples include insomnia and sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder.   One symptom of sleep apnea is snoring.  Snoring can, in some instances, be dangerous because if it is untreated, it can activate the immune system.

Insomnia is also a threat to a healthy immune system.  Insomnia has several different causes.  Insomnia is created when people burn the candle at both ends.  Anxiety and/or depression also cause mood disorders in addition to insomnia.

Good quality sleep:

promotes a healthy immune system.

encourages overall good health.

helps slow down aging.

People sleeping well also look better.  Several  things  can be done to promote healthy sleep habits:

Establish a bedtime and stick to it.  Go to bed at the same time every night.

Create a peaceful sleep environment without

noise

light

television

computer

phones.

Make sure your bed has a

restful mattress

soft sheets

cozy blankets

comfortable pillows.

Establish  a sleep ritual which prepares your body, your brain, and your immune system for a good night’s sleep.  Adopt  sleep-encouraging techniques such as meditation or self Reiki therapy.

If you have a partner, taking a few reflexology lessons can be a real boost to healthy sleep for you both.  You can then offer a reflexology exchange in the evenings before you sleep.

Self Reiki is a wonderful sleeping potion.  Easy to learn and use, it  encourages sleep.

Use essential oils to encourage sleep.  Put a few drops of a favorite oil on a tissue and place it inside your pillowcase or in a pocket.

And, finally, don’t become obsessive about sleep.  Sleep will come.  You can learn to sleep.

Spirituality of the Thyroid, a Challenging Issue

 

Virgin Mary

The thyroid is a small endocrine gland found at the base of the neck.  The spirituality of the thyroid, a challenging issue,  is evident because  it’s an endocrine gland.   The thyroid functions as the “gas pedal” of our bodies, facilitating energy and strength.

More women than men suffer with thyroid issues.  They’re  difficult to diagnose.  The tests are  not accurate enough to properly find a mildly troubled thyroid.  For some, an untreated thyroid issue is very difficult to live with.

Menopausal women  ask spiritual questions as their lives move into a new phase.  The spirituality of the thyroid, a challenging issue is “front and center” here.

An underactive thyroid causes depression, weight gain, low energy, hair loss, dry skin, mental dullness, and sleep disorders.

People suffering with thyroid issues seek balance, courage, energy, mental alertness, vitality.

Sometimes an under active thyroid takes what seems like forever to diagnose.  If  you have thyroid issues and cannot find a solution,  don’t give up.  A persistent professional healthcare provider can  get you to the foundation of the spirituality of the thyroid issue.

You can also try meditation to help  cope with the issues of the spirituality of the thyroid.  The following short meditation may help  you.  It’s seeks the wisdom of  Mother Mary.  She helped me tremendously in my journey for a solution to my thyroid problems.

Find a quiet place where you are safe and will not be disturbed.

Sit quietly and allow Mary,  Queen of Angels, to come to you.  When you feel her presence,  open your eyes, ears, and heart.  Her teachings offer compassion, courage, and vitality.

At first, you may feel nothing.  However, after a few sessions, you will feel Mary’s presence  in some way.  She will answer your questions around universal truths.

It’s not necessary to be a Catholic to receive Mary’s teachings.  It’s not even necessary to be a Christian.  Nor is it necessary to  believe in God.  Mary’s compassion is open to all.

Mary, Queen of Angels, is an icon of wholeness.  We can all  seek Mary’s truths when the challenges of the spirituality of the thyroid seem to be overwhelming.

Sit with Mary for short periods several times a week as you seek her wisdom and insight.

The Spirituality of the Prostate

Sangi's feet

Although the prostate gland is small, it suffers and reflects the conditions of a man’s emotional/spiritual life.  So, life has a big impact on  prostate health.

Worthiness and acceptance issues  affect the prostate.    The prostate reflects inner conflicts and confidence.  Feelings of being stuck in life or in a life situation have a direct impact on the health of the prostate.

Find a quiet, safe place.  Go there  and get comfortable.  Either sit or lie down.  What matters is that you feel safe and comfortable.

Turn on some quiet music if you want.

Take a few deep breaths in which you breathe in positivity and breathe out negativity.  Let go of as much as you can when you exhale.

Use the inhaling moments  to think about ways in which you feel confident and have much self confidence.

After a few moments, begin to ask yourself a few questions:

How do you feel about yourself?

Are you able to express your thoughts and feelings easily?

How can you get rid of feelings of failure?

What can you do to release feelings of being stuck?

Now, for a couple of moments, focus on ways you can increase the happiness quotient in your life.

Focus on this for a few moments as you begin again to inhale positivity, confidence, and empowerment.  Exhale all feelings of negativity.

When you have done this, begin to move around and return to your regular daily routine.

Repeat this exercise whenever you feel stuck and unhappy with life.
