What Your Feet Reveal!

February 14, 2024 at 10:39 pm Comments disabled

Your feet reveal the state of your health. They reveal physical problems in other parts of your body.

Often, the problems we experience with our feet relate to problems in other parts of the body.

Our feet reflect our lives: what we eat, what we drink, how we exercise, how well we sleep.

Tense feet may reflect tension in other parts of your body.

Limp feet indicate poor muscle tone.

Cold, blue, or red feet indicate poor circulation.

Sweaty feet suggest hormonal problems.

Swollen feet suggest a trip to a physician is in order.

Corns, blisters, and ingrown toenails will affect posture.

Bunions should be looked at by a podiatrist.

Hammertoes can benefit from reflexology sessions.

Toenails are a reflection of the diet.

When you don’t have time to look after your feet, you may experience corns, blisters, ingrown toenails, and bunions. These problems affect your posture and metabolism.

Regular reflexology sessions bring about homeostasis. People receiving regular reflexology sessions feel better and have fewer foot issues.

The YOUTUBE channel, “Let’s Live with Thurman Greco” is older than the blogs and the website. The YOUTUBE channel has been running with Tuesday shows for over 20 years. Some of the earlier shows never made it to YOUTUBE but, when we find them, Renee posts them.

Please check them out! “Let’s Live with Thurman Greco” is a positive, entertaining series of interviews which I’ve conducted over the years. My guests enjoy being on the show and many ask to return. One thing they all have in common: we’ve all met each other somehow in Woodstock, NY.

Bunions are Definitely Spiritual Afflictions

February 2, 2014 at 8:58 am Comments disabled

They’ve been around for generations and generations. Because of their location on the foot, bunions are a way of dealing with love (the loss thereof). People suffering with bunions lack a sense of carefree acceptance of anything.

Professionals don’t totally agree on what causes them: flat feet, ill fitting shoes, congenital disposition toward bunions, etc. This much is certain: getting surgery to repair bunions is becoming more popular. Having bunions recur after surgery is also a reality. Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners can help both before and after surgery.

Wearing proper footwear is important. You can be a real help to your client if you notice what kind of shoes s/he is wearing and either approve or suggest shoes that you think might be more appropriate. The wrong kind of footwear can be very destructive to your client partner’s foot health as well as his/her overall spinal alignment. Bunion sufferers should wear shoes that are well-fitting, non-binding, and have a generous toe box. They shouldn’t have a heel higher than 2 inches. Sandals can offer relief.

If the bunion sufferer also has arch problems, a trip to a professional who can properly fit an arch support is also important.

AREAS TO WORK: Apply rotations to the solar plexus. Work the skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, neck area (with neck rotations on the toes), and the circulatory system. And, always work the bunion area and all the toes.

ESSENTIAL OILS: angelica, bergamot, geranium, lavender, ylang ylang, frankincense, lemon, palmarosa, rosewood, jasmine, helichrysum, sandalwood, Roman chamomile.

The next post will focus on Callouses and Corns

More About What is Reflexology for the Spirit

What is Reflexology for the Spirit? In this post, we will offer more information about Reflexology for the Spirit, This should give you an in depth understanding of what Reflexology for the Spirit is all about.

Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners include spiritual observations as they manifest in the feet. They’re found:

in the different colors seen on the feet,

the locations of corns,

callouses,

bunions,

broken bones, etc.

What is Reflexology for the Spirit? Although the results of a reflexology session can be felt throughout the body, it’s not massage. Instead, practitioners manipulate the tissues of the hands, feet, and/or ears only.

An important goal of Reflexology for the spirit is Homeostasis.

Homeostasis is the return to balance of the entire body.

Encourage your client partners to schedule appointments within 1-2 days of other treatments they are receiving.

For example: if your client partner has a visit to the chiropractor,

physical therapist,

acupuncturist,

massage therapist,

or a yoga class,

please try to have him/her schedule an appointment with you within 24-48 hours before or after. This is the way to get the most value for your health care dollars. With Reflexology for the Spirit, 1 + 1 = 3.

I Don’t Hang Out In Churches Anymore

Miracles, like beauty, exist entirely in the eyes of beholders. Naturally occurring events, they happen all around us like the wind, rain, and sun outside the pantry room. We only need to see them for what they are. They happen when we open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the possibility that they exist at all.

Pantry miracles never change much. Except, they do. They change how we see the pantry and how we belong in it. These humble events change our inner lives. We become responsible for ways to overcome the hunger and homelessness we face.

Pantry miracles remind us it’s never too late to know ourselves and understand the talents we were born to use in our lives.

Ketchup Sandwich Chronicles tells the story of everyone brought together by the pantry: Hungry people kept moving in a line around the room. At times there wasn’t enough space between the people to even turn around. They got to know each other in sound bites shared between grabbing a can of green beans or a package of strawberries. A sentence here. A sentence there. The children were eerily silent, clutching their mother’s pants leg.

The struggle of each person who came in the door could be felt.

When you read this book, you’ll become intimately involved with rules surrounding the feeding of the hungry, the economy of hunger, the biases of people about pantries, and the taboos of hunger. You’ll get up close and personal with the politics of hunger.

I’m a writer, Reflexology for the Spirit Teacher and Practitioner, canine massage therapy teacher, Reiki Master Teacher. I began my career as a healer in 1982 when I graduated from the Potomac Massage Therapy Institute in Washington, D. C. Because people in my field never stop learning, I practice 9 different kinds of Reiki therapy: Usui, Violet Flame, Lightarian, JinKeiDo, Mari-El, Gendai, Karuna…, Reiki for Animals, and End of Life Reiki. Although I learned several kinds of massage, I knew before I even graduated from massage school that I was going to be a reflexologist.

I teach classes and practice in a positive, upbeat healing space beside a beautiful stream in downtown Woodstock. I give talks about Reflexology for the Spirit to groups of interested people.

And, of course, my career path could never have been complete without the skills I learned as I studied animal communication, Tarot card readings, Akashic Records readings, and Angel readings.

Everyone’s feet have stories to tell. Everyone can venture down the path to healing: physical, mental, spiritual, emotional. Those who know me, work with me, and study under me, agree that I am passionate about healing work in general and Reflexology for the Spirit in particular. With this blog, I’m inviting you to journey down this path with me.

I welcome your comments and questions. Thank you for joining in the conversation.

This blog is dedicated to healers everywhere. Your chosen path requires bravery in your attitudes toward your client partners and to yourself.

Bodywork challenges us to be lifelong students. Without the Reverend Dan Chesbro, Marge D’Urso, Kerrith McKechnie, Mary Ruth Van Landingham, Jonathan Rudinger, Penelope Smith, Dawn Hayman and Lucy Swensen, this book would never have happened. You answered my questions, suggested I move beyond my safety zone, and pushed me on down the road.

Healers are dependent upon their client partners. Every person who has come to my table, wherever it was, has been a gift of the universe bringing vital messages which made me a better practitioner.

Thank you.

Many people wrote this blog. The real creators are the wonderful people who came to my table. These individuals offered me an opportunity to heal and grow. Without client partner trust, not one word of this blog would have ever or could ever happen.

Even more trust is needed for a person to allow another to become their “teacher”. I’ve taught many of you as I fielded your questions, supported you in your quest, encouraged your spirituality, realized when the day had come for you to move on. Each of you has been a gift of the universe placed at my door. For me, teaching has been a very humbling experience.

I extend my most heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has touched my life as a client partner, a student, a teacher.

I have said and written many times: Kerrith McKechnie, Marge D’Urso, Mary Ruth Van Landingham, Jonathan Rudinger, Penelope Smith, Dawn Hayman, and the Reverend Dan Chesbro made my career possible.

Three people stand out in the creation of this book: Lucy Swensen, Barbara Friesner, and Sangi Van Den Nouweland. Without you three ladies, Lucy, Barbara, and Sangi, nothing would ever have happened to my book. Thank you.
Personally, I hope the next one will be easier for you!
