9 Important Questions to Ask About Pain
Ubiquitous, pain. Everyone suffers with pain occasionally. Some of us suffer with pain constantly.
Pain comes in many forms:
Pins and needles
Searing
Hot
Cold
Constant
Deep
Screaming.
Everyone has names for pain.
Reflexologists, whenever a client partner begins to discuss pain with you, ask the following questions:
How long have you had this pain?
If your pain is not constant, does it come and go on a certain or random schedule?
Do particular activities initiate the pain?
What does it feel like?
Does it have a shape?
What does it look like?
What does it sound like?
What does it smell like?
Is there a story connected to this pain? Do you know it?
Is there a word that will help you heal?
Now, speak to your pain.
Ask your pain if you can work together to heal.
Is there a word to help you heal? Pause a moment to receive this word.
Then, find out what color this word is going to be. Now, repeat this word several times as you experience the color bringing relaxation to your entire being.
As you experience this, know that relaxation is important to pain because when we relax, we heal.
Often, just going through the above questions offers relief. Sometimes we have pain which has a past life origin. These questions can help reveal this situation. People who have tried everything with no luck are able to have breakthroughs.
But, even if the questions don’t seem to offer immediate insight, they are very powerful and are quite helpful.
Reflexology can be a powerful pain management tool if used in the right way. In the near future, I’ll be offering a series of posts sharing pain management sessions.

Arthritis and Reflexology for the Spirit
The next two posts will concentrate on the issues of Arthritis.
Arthritis is a word used to describe over 100 diseases causing joint pain. It’s definitely a spiritual disease. It’s important for a person who seems to be suffering from arthritis to get a diagnosis from a rheumatologist. That’s the first step in going down the path to proper treatment.
An example of this would be that some arthritis sufferers (as with rheumatoid arthritis, for example) are dealing with an autoimmune condition and the Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner would reflex the feet a certain way based on the autoimmune disorder.
The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis. It’s a leading cause of pain and disability in older adults. This is caused by loss of articular cartilage in joints. The joints most affected are hands, wrist, neck, lower back, hips, knees. Risk factors include obesity, heredity, and improper diet.
The best way to combat arthritis, regardless of the kind, is to use a team approach. The arthritis sufferer’s team should include a rheumatologist, Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner, physical therapist, nutritionist, acupuncturist, and a primary medicine practitioner.
The next post will continue with the emphasis on arthritis.
Thank you for reading this post.
