Reflexology Blog – Menopause: Many See This as a Disease. For me, Menopause is a Rite of Passage
Actually, there is not that much known about menopause.
Menopause is a strong spiritual event in a woman’s life. Many women in our culture experience, in addition to the physical symptoms, a fear of no longer being wanted. They face fears of aging. They experience self-rejection. They feel that they are no longer good enough…whatever that means.
Menopause is a time to honor yourself, your body, your life. It is a time to bless yourself and encourage love.
Honor your inner goddess! You have now graduated. You are a crone.
You now have an opportunity to become a respected elder. Go Girl!
SYSTEMS TO WORK WHEN OFFERING REFLEXOLOGY FOR THE SPIRIT SESSIONS TO WOMEN EXPERIENCING MENOPAUSE: Focus on the endocrine system, the most spiritual system in the body. Also work the muscular system, the liver and the solar plexus. These sessions will encourage homeostasis, a very important part of one’s health

Reflexology Blog: Sciatica is an Inflammation With a Spiritual Foundation.
Sciatica is an inflammation of the sciatic nerve caused by injury, constipation, cold temperatures, arthritis.
There is a spiritual component to sciatica. There are safety issues involved here as there are in all lower back afflictions. Persons suffering with sciatica have a fear of moving forward into the future. Core beliefs are also in question.
Persons suffering with sciatica often have a tendency to impose limitations on themselves. And, of course, money is involved. Sciatica is often slow to repair.
Your client partner may need to also visit a physician, physical therapist, massage therapist, chiropractor, or other health care professional. Sometimes healing takes time in addition to everything else tried. Homeostasis works on its own clock…even with reflexology for the spirit. But don’t give up.
WORK THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS WHEN ADDRESSING SCIATICA: Endocrine system with emphasis on the adrenal gland reflexes, digestive system with emphasis on the intestinal reflexes, the spine reflexes, hip, thigh, and leg reflexes, and the sciatic nerve reflexes. Finish the session with the liver and solar plexus.
As always, this post comes to you from my healing space in scenic downtown Woodstock, NY.

Reflexology blog: Fatigue is a Symptom Not to be Ignored.
Fatigue is one of the most important symptoms a human can have. Whenever your client partner complains of fatigue, please don’t ignore the remark. Try to get him/her to visit a health care professional who is not going to blow this symptom off. A good healthcare professional will take this seriously.
Feelings of chronic tiredness may be due to such things as overwork, poor nutrition, stress, and illness. There are many diseases for which fatigue is the first thing felt.
Fatigue is a normal response to physical overexertion, long term emotional stress, sleep deprivation, viral or bacterial infection, endocrine disease, cardiovascular disease, or neurological disease.
Fatigue is also a spiritual response. People respond, on a spiritual level, to boredom, resistance and lack of love. One thing that can help…whatever the cause of fatigue…is to learn to become enthusiastic about something.
Homeostasis is a good goal when working with fatigue sufferers.
WHEN OFFERING REFLEXOLOGY FOR THE SPIRIT SESSIONS TO A PERSON SUFFERING WITH FATIGUE, WORK THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS:
nervous system focusing on the brain reflexes, respiratory system focusing on the lung reflexes, circulatory system focusing on the heart reflex, work the liver and the solar plexus, and, finally, finish the session by working the adrenal gland reflexes.

Nausea is Extremely Unpleasant. Its Causes are Innumerable.
Nausea is the feeling we all experience prior to vomiting. The causes include digestive problems, stress, balance problems, infectious disease, endocrine disorders, cardiac problems. Nausea accompanies some kinds of drug therapy, surgery, and radiation.
Spiritually, nausea represents fear. The nausea sufferer needs to do things to feel safe.
The homeostasis offered by reflexology sessions can really help.
WORK THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS WHEN ADDRESSING NAUSEA: Work the nervous system as you focus on the brain reflexes. Also work the endocrine system, circulatory system, urinary system, digestive system, lymphatics, liver and solar plexus.

Dizziness Erodes the Confidence of its Sufferers. They Never Know When the Loss of Balance is Going to Return.
Dizziness has many causes. The flighty, scattered thinking which accompanies dizziness has spiritual effects. People suffering with dizziness will do well to seek a safe outlook on life.
Dizziness has many causes: infections of the inner ear, sudden movements, reactions to certain drugs, and nervous disorders which affect the liquid in the inner ear. These disorders control the equilibrium in the body.
Like other conditions with spiritual aspects, the results are not going to be achieved in the first session. Work toward regular visits for awhile. The client partner needs time to regain confidence in the ability to overcome the dizziness. Homeostasis, after all, is not a pill. It’s a process.
WORK THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS WHEN YOU ADDRESS DIZZINESS: Concentrate first on the brain reflexes, then work the sinus reflexes, the ear reflexes, the eye reflexes. Finally, work the solar plexus.

Reflexology for the Spirit: Backaches are Very Definitely Spiritual Events.
The kind of spiritual event that creates a backache depends on whether the pain is in the lower, middle or upper back.
People with back issues in the lower back are dealing with money and financial issues. They’re also dealing with core beliefs. These sufferers need to work to feel safe, cared for.
Mid-back issues deal with guilt. These mid-back problems focus on the need to leave the past behind. This person is trying to move forward.
Upper back issues deal with things like emotional support, love. The person needs to feel supported and loved.
When we refer to these issues and their physical causes, it’s good to remember that backache can be caused by injury, poor posture, muscle strain, pinched nerves, stress or other conditions.
Middle and lower-back problems result from injury, poor posture, standing or sitting for long periods of time, tension, improper lifting.
WORK THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS WHEN ADDRESSING BACKACHES: Begin with the sciatic nerve reflexes. Work the endocrine system, circulatory system, urinary system, muscular system, skeletal system, liver and solar plexus.
As you offer these sessions, you are encouraging homeostasis, relieving stress and tension. The person on your table also needs to go to a medical health care professional for a diagnosis and possibly treatment. Visits to a chiropractor, acupuncturist, physical therapist can supplement your visits.

Reflexology Blog – 22 Essential Oils to Use When Working the Nervous System
Appropriate oils for the nervous system include basil, black pepper, cardamom, cedarwood, clarity, clove, eucalyptus radiate, fennel, frankincense, ginger, helichrysum, juniper, lavender, marjoram, myrrh, patchouli, peppermint, rose, rosemary, sage, valerian, ylang ylang.
When selecting an essential oil for a specific issue, it’s important to consider the entire person: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. Although essential oils can be very powerful therapies in and of themselves, it’s important to realize that they are not the total solution. Essential oils work best when combined with other therapies.
A first step in encouraging homeostasis is to cleanse the body. A colon cleanse followed by a liver cleanse will often take care of the problem itself.
People trying to address health issues should include proper diet, exercise, supplements, meditation/yoga, and working to achieve a stress free lifestyle.
Efforts should be made to rebuild and nourishing the intestinal system as well as remineralizing the blood and tissues.
When using essential oils, it’s always important to increase fluid intake because essential oils often accelerate the detoxification process. Without adequate hydration, toxins begin to recirculate in the body and cause nausea, headaches, etc.
If your client partner experiences a reaction to an essential oil, temporarily discontinue it use and start an internal cleansing program.

Reflexology Blog – The Nervous System is a Powerful Spiritual Communication Tool.
The nervous system, made up of the brain and the spinal cord, gathers information, stores it, and controls what is done with it.
The brain controls our personality, judgment, speech, some movement, sound memory, temperature control and pain.
The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and sensory receptors.
The autonomic nervous system controls muscles in the internal organs, intestines, sweat glands, airways, heart and blood vessels. It’s divided into 2 parts: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
The sympathetic nervous system deals with energy, speeding up things like heartbeat. The parasympathetic nervous system slows thing down. The parasympathetic system has other functions as well. For example, once your food is chewed and swallowed, it moves through the body under the direction of the parasympathetic nervous system.
The central nervous system and brain serve all organs and functions of the body including actions like walking and talking.
Work the part of the spine corresponding to a body function or part that your client is having trouble with. For example, if a person comes to you with a neck problem, work the part of the spine that corresponds to the neck.
These nerves are found along the spinal reflexes because they’re housed within the vertebrae. So, while all these descriptions may seem complicated, all you need to do is work the spinal column which is inside the vertebrae.
Working the nervous system reflexes help the body overcome stress and increase blood flow. When this happens, the body functions in a more balanced way. This assists homeostasis.
Thanks for reading this post. Tomorrow’s post will focus on how to use the nervous system in a reflexology session. We’ll also discuss essential oils and foods that nourish the nervous system.
Peace and food for all.

Reflexology Blog – Colitis is a spiritual affliction that can be quite painful.
Colitis is a spiritual affliction which reflects a person’s insecurity. A person suffering with colitis is having trouble letting go of something which is already gone.
For many people, colitis is a chronic condition which may flare up and die down over time with the medical professionals treating the symptoms. The disease itself has no cure and is probably unpreventable. It’s generally agreed upon by medical professionals that colitis is not caused by stress but it does get worse when a person is stressed out.
It is believed that, for some people, colitis is hereditary. Whatever the cause, this painful condition is one that can respond to the sessions offered by a Reflexology for the Spirit Practitioner.
A person with colitis should definitely be consulting a medical professional in addition to a reflexologist.
When a person with colitis comes to your healing space, include Reiki therapy if possible. Offer essential oils if you feel called to do so. Your goal here is homeostasis.
WORK THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS WHEN YOU ADDRESS COLITIS:
Work the immune system, the adrenal gland reflexes, the intestinal reflexes, and the lymphatics.

The Immune System Bottom Line: 4 Important Things to Remember
THE BOTTOM LINE
The immune system makes an important contribution to our wellness. There are emotional and spiritual components to the immune system which cannot be ignored.
Some diseases offer challenges and struggles which insist that the ill person examine his/her lifestyle, core beliefs, and connection with the divine.
This whole path to wellness: living with the disease or succumbing to it is facilitated with the homeostasis which Reflexology for the Spirit sessions bring about.
Work the immune system and the nervous system very early in the session. The nervous system combined with the immune system becomes a booster system and they should always be used when you’re trying to resolve a health issue for someone. These two systems combined facilitate homeostasis. The two systems together can offer significant changes.
Thank you for reading this post and for reading this blog/book. Please contact me if you have any questions.
The next post will focus on essential oils which benefit the immune system and will list the foods that nourish the immune system. Following that, we will focus on some specific diseases such as the common cold, flu, bladder problems, etc.
As always, this post comes to you from my healing space in downtown Woodstock.
