The Spirituality of the Adrenal Glands
People sometimes have issues with the adrenal glands and are unable to identify them as needing balance.
A few tip offs include:
Fatigue
Having experienced so much stress and trauma that you are stuck in the fight-or-flight response.
Panic attacks.
Fear.
Anxiety.
We each have 2 adrenal glands. One is perched atop each kidney. Because there are 2, they come under the category of body parts needing balance. Other body parts needing balance include lungs, and kidneys.
Adrenals are very spiritual third chakra glands which we feel when we experience butterflies in our stomach. Adrenals are part of the endocrine system which also emphasizes their spiritual qualities. The adrenals process fear, anger, excitement and stress overload.,
If your your adrenals need to be balanced, go to a quiet, safe space where you will not be interrupted and get comfortable. Turn on some relaxing music if you like.
Breathe in deeply as you inhale calm. Breathe slowly – deeply – consciously.
As you exhale, breathe out anxiety.
Breathe in positive energy.
Exhale as you release fatigue.
Inhale peace.
As you exhale, let go of all your fears.
Inhale nurturing energy.
Release any panic you may feel as you exhale.
When you feel grounded, place your hands 1″ to 3″ above your body over the area of your adrenals. Hold your hands here for a couple of minutes as you give them a chance to communicate with your body in general and your adrenal glands in particular.
What information are you receiving? Do you feel tingling, heat, cold, nothing? Whatever you feel is good and appropriate for this time and place. Continue this communication for a few minutes until you feel it’s time to finish the session. Now, breathe deeply as you inhale and exhale several times.
The information you receive may not be apparent immediately. It may be several minutes, hours or days before you receive a message. You may receive the communication in a dream.
The important thing is to be open to receiving the information you need whenever and however it comes.
If possible, arrange to receive some Reiki therapy sessions focused on your adrenal health. In addition to Usui Reiki, 2 forms of Reiki appropriate for the adrenals are Lightarian and Gendai.
Essential Oils which work well for adrenal gland function include clove, frankincense, German chamomile, nutmeg, and spikenard.
Weekly Reflexology for the Spirit sessions will encourage homeostasis.

2 Ways the Pancreas is Enhanced in a Reflexology Session
The pancreas is a digestive system organ. It is also an organ of the endocrine system. It controls sugar, aids in digestion and helps convert food into nutrients. The fact that so many people have diabetes means, for me, that we all need to pay more attention to the pancreas, where it is, and how it works.
The pancreas is located in the body behind the stomach.
When the pancreas reflex points are worked, several things happen:
The pancreas is prompted to regulate blood-sugar levels.
The pancreas secretes digestive juices to break down foods.
The pancreas reflex point is located on both feet, on the medial soles, about halfway down the food between the big toe and the heel. It is larger on the left foot than on the right.

The heart is located between the lungs behind the breastbone.
When the heart reflex is worked, several things happen:
The heart pumps oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the brain and other organs.
The cardiovascular action pumps blood throughout the body.

6 Ways the Lymphatic Reflexes Enhance a Reflexology Session
The lymphatic system works to nourish, cleanse, and protect tissues and organs throughout the body. The circulatory system has a pump to move the blood throughout the body. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump to move toxins along. It relies on muscular movement and reflexology to keep the systems clean. Think of the lymphatic system as our sewage system.
When the lymphatic reflexes are worked, several things happen:
Infection fighting cells in the body are mobilized.
Disease fighting cells in the body are mobilized.
Toxic wastes are removed.
The cornea is flushed.
Circulation is increased.
The body’s resistance to disease is raised.
The lymphatic system reflex points are located in several places on both feet. The outside edge of the foot, from the base of the smallest toe down to the bottom of the heel is a popular point. A second point is located on the tops of both feet where the the foot bends to meet the ankle. This point extends across this bend in the foot from the outer ankle to the inner ankle. A third point is located between toes at the base of each toe.

4 Ways the Bladder is Enhanced in a Reflexology Session
After the kidneys filter out the toxins, salts, and wastes in the body, they convert them into urine. The urine then travels down the ureters to the bladder which holds it until it’s voided. Bile in the liver gives urine its yellow color.
When you work the bladder reflex points, several things happen.
The bladder increases blood circulation to fight infection.
The bladder begins a mild flush.
The bladder washes toxic wastes out of the body.
The bladder passes stones.
The bladder reflex is located on both feet on the mound of the heel pad which is located on the medial side of the heel.
