A Reflexology Spa Treatment to Boost Spiritual Health
Occasionally your client partners need a bit of special attention. Life events create a need for a spiritual affirmation. A Reflexology Spa Treatment for the Spirit can be just what is needed. This session honors the part of the body beyond the bones and muscles.
Begin this session plan by selecting the essential oil you’ll use. My preferred essential oils for a Spiritual Spa Session include:
bergamot
clary sage
frankincense
galbanum
juniper
lavender
Roman chamomile
Once the oil has been selected, you’ll be guided to choose the music. the decor. When you book this Spiritual appointment, discuss and choose the oil.
Whatever oil and music you choose, make your selections both powerful and healing. Have the music playing when your client partner enters your healing space.
For this spiritual session make your client partner comfortable on your healing table and then wash his/her feet using warm, wet towels. Once your client partner’s feet are washed, wrap them in warm dry towels.
Anoint your client partner with the selected essential oil. Apply several drops of the chosen oil to both your client partner’s hands. Encourage your client partner to rub his/her palms together and then wipe them over the face, head, halo, aura.
Move to your client partner’s head and bring in Reiki. Offer three Reiki holds to the head.
Now, move to your client partner’s feet. Anoint your client partner’s feet with a lotion to which you’ve added a small amount of the selected essential oil.
Now, offer five minutes of delicious warm ups to your client partner’s first foot. While you do this, leave the other foot wrapped in the warm towel.
Follow this with twenty minutes of specific reflexology offered to reflex points chosen to encourage spiritual therapy. Work the reflex points in the following order:
1. solar plexus
2. pituitary gland
3. pineal gland
4. thymus
5. adrenal glands
6. ovary/ testicle
7. heart
8. spine
9. intestines
10. Chakras
11. Now, finish this part of the session by returning to the solar plexus and liver.
Offer five minutes of warm downs as you complete the work on the first foot.
Now, cover the first foot with the warm towel and move to the other foot where you will offer five minutes of warm ups, and twenty minutes of spiritual focus on the second food.
Now, offer five minutes of gentle warm downs on the second foot as you complete the reflexology part of this session.
It is now time to offer three Reiki therapy holds to both feet and then close the Reiki part of the session.
This has been a deep session. Your client partner needs a few moments to return to “now”. Gently cover both feet with warm towels, leave him/her alone for a moment as you prepare a glass of water and offer it to your client partner.
Quietly visit with your client partner as you end the session. This may take a few extra moments for your client partner prepares to return to “now”.
Thank you for practicing reflexology and thank you for offering this spa session to your client partners.

Time-Out for Sharing then Moving on to the Chakras.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing with you. I’ve offered information in each post for you, in turn, to share with your client partners. I’m following the advice of my teacher and mentor Marge D’Urso who emphasized the many things we can all do in conjunction with reflexology to encourage homeostasis.
Not all of this information applies to all of your client partners.
Some people come to our tables in order to feel better. Others want us to help them take greater charge of their own health. Yet others simply want to hop on the table, receive their reflexology session, and go away blissed out. And, there’s nothing wrong with that.
One special group wants to add other things to their lives which will help them
feel better
look better
avoid chronic disease
live longer
enjoy better health.
By sharing this information slowly, in small increments, you can, along with your reflexology sessions, give your client partners an opportunity to completely change their lives for the better in a non threatening way.
These gradual changes when mixed with reflexology offer dramatic improvements over time. The idea is to be sharing opportunities for good health without complicating lifestyles any more than they already are. You’ll be leading your client partners to a a more healthy lifestyle. They can completely change their lives 1 step at a time.
Slowly
Easily
Comfortably
Not all client partners will adopt every suggestion offered. Some won’t choose any suggestions. Some will try everything suggested for a time. Then, they’ll drop the health step after a few weeks. There’s something here for everyone. We are all different. Our attitudes, ages, and lifestyles are all different.
What’s important is that you are gently, without pushing, sharing suggestions for a healthier lifestyle.
When your client partners are ready, they’ll have this knowledge to use in the way which works best for them.
I’m taking a break with this series of posts to offer you, the reflexologist, some more hands-on posts. Then, I’ll return to these wellness posts for awhile longer…until I feel you have something to offer most client partners over a period of a year or more. You want to be sharing something which a person may accept and live with for awhile before taking on another health giving change. It’s important to let an adopted change settle in so they become lifetime habits.
Beginning next week, I’ll offer posts about Chakras and the feet. We have reflex points for Chakras in our feet. I hope you find these articles interesting. I hope you can use this information in your work!

Tara Sanders: Healing, Yoga, and Reflexology
healing, yoga, and reflexology
As reflexologists, we add new clients to our practice often. Healing, yoga, and reflexology are important here. Depending on your personality, or your practice, you may ask a few or many questions from them on the intake forms and in the initial interviews.
Trauma is one area of a person’s life which we rarely approach. It is just too hidden, too destructive.
This is wise. Trauma is a subject which our client partners need to bring up when the time is right for them to share. Because nothing is said doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. It just means that the person isn’t comfortable discussing it.
Because, in reality, 1 woman in 4 has experienced domestic violence and/or sexual assault. Personally, I question the 1-in-4 statistic. No woman reports domestic violence or sexual assault if she can possibly avoid it. Reporting is simply too painful.
When I first spoke with Tara Sanders, a Woodstock based yoga instructor and program director in the nonprofit Exhale to Inhale I was suddenly very alert. I realized that we, as reflexologists, need to be more sensitive to the secrets and hidden traumas of our client partners.
Exhale to Inhale yoga works to empower survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to heal through yoga. Exhale to Inhale yoga guides women through postures, breathing, meditation. Taught in trauma sensitive style, practitioners are enabled to ground themselves in
their bodies
their strength
their stillness.
As this happens, the women connect to themselves. They work toward empowerment and worthiness. This practice can be transformative for survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence when they shed the cloak of victimhood.
Healers, reflexologists, and body workers have long known that when a person is traumatized, the event is stored in the muscles.
We also know that reflexology sessions are given a boost when combined with other modalities such as yoga, meditation, breathing, Reiki therapy, and massage.
Tara teaches the classes without music. She does not touch the students to correct a posture. Lights remain on throughout the class. These sessions offer survivors an opportunity to reclaim their lives through the healing and grounding of yoga.
Tara uses the yoga classes to help her students feel safe, strong, in the present moment. As she teaches, she is a conduit for healing and healthful programs in our community. Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners are also conduits for healing as we work the reflex points to encourage homeostasis.
Exhale to Inhale is a New York-based nonprofit offering free weekly yoga classes to survivors of domestic and sexual assault. After June 20, Exhale to Inhale yoga classes will be taught free of charge to women in area shelters in Upstate New York.
Not everyone has a Tara Sanders available in the community. However, it’s possible to suggest reflexology sessions offered in tandem with yoga, meditation, breathing classes. Whether or not you are aware of your client partner’s experience with trauma or domestic violence is not important. What is important is that you invite your client partner to experience this boost to your modality. Think of healing, yoga, and reflexology as a package.
Hopefully one day soon, there will be more Tara Sanders yoga teachers in communities everywhere.
Thank you for reading this blog/book.

Guided Meditation – An Angel Brings Forgiveness
Begin this guided meditation by putting on some soft music.
Now, get in a comfortable place. Sit in a comfortable chair, or lay face up on a sofa or sit back in a recliner. The important thing here is comfort.
Begin this meditation by breathing slowly. Breathe in relaxation as you take deep breaths. Breathe out stress, negativity.
Allow yourself to sigh, and yawn. Stretch if you feel like it.
Pay attention to your body. Feel your body relax as you breathe in fresh, cleansing air.
Feel your body let go of negativity as you exhale. Releasing negativity allows your body to feel a little lighter. It allows you to relax even more.
Every breath allows you to become more relaxed and to let go of the buildup of negativity. You begin to feel the warmth of comfort and safety.
As your breathing continues, you find yourself in a meadow…a meadow created just for you. Your breathing allows you to relax even more in the warmth of the sun. Your breathing allows you to become one with the meadow. You become aware of the sights, sounds, fragrances, wildlife, of the meadow.
This meadow offers you peace. This meadow offers you an opportunity to let go of negativity.
You look around and see an angel. This angel stands beside you in a beautiful clearing with butterflies, flowers, birds, grasses, trees.
As you see this angel, you realize that now is a time for you to give up past negativity. This is an opportunity for you to let go of feelings of negativity, being stuck, inferiority, shame, confusion, disappointment.
You turn to the angel.
You see you are being given an opportunity to travel down the different paths of your life.
You are being given an opportunity to safely explore lessons learned through past experiences.
You are being given an opportunity to acknowledge that you no longer need to hold onto negativity, disappointment.
With the angel beside you, you feel empowered – safe.
With the angel beside you, you are ready to offer forgiveness as you grow beyond this negativity that has been holding you back.
With the angel beside you, you are in a space where your heart can open and receive positive energy in the place that once held negativity.
With the angel beside you, you are able to spontaneously accept giving up negativity of all kinds. This negativity is replaced by forgiveness not only for other persons and events but also for yourself.
With the angel beside you, you are instantly moving forward in life as you embrace new energy and a new life force.
With the angel beside you, you know all is forgiven…forever.
You turn to the angel and look deeply at this glorious being shrouded in green who has accompanied you on this journey. As you examine this angel deeply, you know you have received an incredible gift…the gift of forgiveness.
You thank the angel for such a generous, life changing gift.
Now you return to the room knowing that the angel in green is waiting for you any time you want to journey down the path of forgiveness again.
Thank you for reading this guided meditation.

Peace and food for all.

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.
This post comes to you from my healing space in Woodstock, NY.
Peace and food for all.
