Reflexology For The Spirit

What Your Feet Reveal!

 

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.

Have you visited www.thurmangreco.com?  While you’re there, see what books might interest you.  Every title is available in hard copy and ebook.

If you try to purchase a book but cannot, please email me at thurmangreco@gmail.com.  I will fill the orders from my email site.

The blogs and the website are under renovation, reconstruction, and updating.

So, if you have problems, email me!

What is the Practical Application? – Part 2

As you begin the warm ups, what do you find?  How cold are the feet?  How easily do the ankles rotate?  Ankles are important.  They move us forward through life.

If you encounter stiff ankles, the person is not moving forward easily.  If the feet and ankles are swollen, the person is suffering through a stressful situation.

Begin the actual session at the toes.  Rotating the toes is important because this is where most of the stress is located.

When you observe hammertoes, work on them early in the session.

The solar plexus is very important.   Offering rotations to the solar plexus is the single most important thing you can do for your client partner.

Work the nervous system early in the session.  It’s a booster system and should always be used when you are trying to resolve a health issue.  The nervous system becomes important to you as you facilitate homeostasis.

Your next step is to work the immune system.  Working the immune system in conjunction with the nervous system can offer significant changes.

Follow this with attention to the digestive system including a focus on the intestinal tract.  Because good health begins in the intestinal tract, work the intestinal tract as often as you can in your sessions whether or not the person has voiced complaints.

Then, work the systems you feel need attention.  If you have time and don’t feel drawn to a particular system or foot area, go for the endocrine system.  This is the system that is, really, the most responsive to spiritual work.

With any time remaining, give attention to the areas of discoloration, puffiness, mushiness, cold, etc.

Offer warm downs for about 5 minutes to return the client to the present.  Most people receiving regular work from a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner go into a deep state encouraging healing and homeostasis.  This most often happens when the person does not engage in any conversation during the session.

There are many reactions which a client can exhibit during and after sessions.  Don’t elaborate on them because a certain percentage of people will experience reactions simply because you talked about them.

Let them occur naturally…if they are going to happen.

Thank you for reading this post.  This ends the section of practical application tips.

Tomorrow’s post will offer a guided meditation to use for yourself or read to someone else.

Peace and food for all

When You Work Hammertoes, You May See a Real Change in the Person Extending Beyond the Feet.

Regular sessions can offer relief for persons suffering with hammertoes.  This spiritual affliction is caused when a person is in a long tern situation where independent thought is being stifled.  The person creates a protective shell with the curling toes.  Hammertoes are sometimes seen with bunions.  When you observe hammertoes, please work them early in the session.

When a person comes to you with hammertoes, you have a situation with the person’s feet and, indeed, life, that is probably not going to be cleared up in a week.  It may take several weeks (at least) or months before any permanent change occurs.  Your regular sessions during this time will offer the needed encouragement and support so that change will occur.

AREAS TO WORK:  Work the toes so they are encouraged, and allowed to straighten.  This translates to working the neck areas, the brain, the sinuses, and doing a lot of warm ups and warm downs focusing on the toes and the neck ridge.  This carries an extra importance because hammertoes can sometimes be caused by a chronic lack of oxygen.  Include the nervous system, skeletal system, muscular system, lymphatics, digestive system, liver and solar plexus.

ESSENTIAL OILS:  Idaho balsam fir, douglas fir, cypress, vetiver, Frankincense, lavender, geranium, palo santo, myrrh, patchouli, pine, rosewood, sage, or white fir.

The next post will focus on heel spurs.

The list of spiritual afflictions which respond to Reflexology for the Spirit sessions is very, very long.  If you want to see a particular issue highlighted in this section of the blog, please contact me and I’ll add that one to the list.

When  we complete the section of the book covering how to work spiritual afflictions, we’ll go on to cover a variety of subjects dealing with all aspects of your practice as a Reflexology for the Spirit  practitioner.

Thank you for reading this blog post.  It is being written in my healing space in Woodstock, NY.

Peace and food for all.
