Reflexology to Boost Your Client Partner’s Heart Health
A staple Spa Treatment in your “tool kit” is the heart health session because both life quality and quantity depend on a strong and healthy heart for oxygen and nutrients.
Heart disease looms large in health issues. Heart disease is one of the five biggest killers in our nation. And, it doesn’t spring up overnight. Instead, it lurks silently in the background for years, decades, before it strikes.
Your client partners will understand how important a Reflexology Heart Health Spa Treatment is. I recommend regularly scheduled Heart Health Spa Treatments in conjunction with exercise. Think of this session as a monthly exercise booster.
This Spa Treatment is also good as a special throughout February. It can also be used as part of the bride’s spa day activity on her wedding day.
As always, have the healing space specially prepared with this session. Have an essential oil selected. Recommended essential oils for a Heart Health Spa Treatment include:
peppermint
rosemary
tangerine
thyme
ylang ylang
If your client partner is not happy with one of these oils, choose something compatible with his/her personality. Whichever oil you choose will guide you to the music, the decor.
Have your music selection playing when s/he arrives for the appointment.
Begin this session with a soothing foot bath if you possibly can. Soak your client partner’s feet in warm essential oil enhanced water for a few minutes before you begin to offer reflexology.
After your client partner spends a few minutes in a relaxing and soothing foot bath, have him/her move to your healing table or chair where you anoint him/her with your selected essential oil and wrap both feet in warmed towels.
Move to your client’s head and bring in Reiki therapy as you offer three holds to the head.
Now move down to your client partner’s feet where you offer five minutes of warm ups on the first foot. Using a good lotion which is scented with the chosen essential oil can be important here.
After offering the warm ups, offer five minutes of general reflexology. Your client partner is now ready to receive the Heart Healthy Reflexology Spa Session.
Work the following reflexes on the first foot for twenty minutes in the following order.
1. Work the Solar Plexus and the Liver
2. Work the brain reflex.
3. Work the lung reflexes.
4. Work the heart reflex.
5. Work the adrenal glands.
6. Return to the solar plexus and liver again.
After working these reflex points for twenty minutes on the first foot, offer five more minutes of general reflexology on this foot and finish up with five minutes of warm downs.
Now, move to the second food and repeat the process. This means you’ll offer five minutes of warm ups, five minutes of general reflexology and twenty minutes working the reflex points on the second foot.
You’ll be working the
solar plexus and liver
brain reflexes
lung reflexes
heart reflexes
adrenal glands
solar plexus and liver
Finally, offer five minutes of general reflexology and then five minutes of warm down.
When this is completed, offer your client partner ten minutes of Reiki therapy on the feet. Now…seal the Reiki therapy part of the session.
Let your client rest for a moment while you get a bottle of water for him/her.
Spend a few minutes with your client partner while s/he drinks the water and returns to “now”.

A Battle Front Reflexology Spa Treatment to Boost your Client Partner’s Good Health
Now is a good time to offer a Reflexology Spa Treatment to boost your client partner’s good health. People everywhere are fighting flu, colds, and other maladies as the body offers a battle for good health. This is also a time when people focus on the immune system because every pharmacy around has generously sized signs announcing flu shots.
For your client partner concerned about fighting viruses and infections, the Battle for Health Reflexology Spa Treatment is not a luxury. It’s more in the necessity category.
Begin your battle plan by selecting the essential oils you’ll use. My preferred essential oils for this Spa Treatment are:
clove
lemon
nutmeg
oregano
peppermint
tangerine
thyme
Your oil selection will guide you to which music to use and what decor to adopt.
My favorite oil in this selection is peppermint. But, since not everyone likes peppermint (or you may prefer another oil), select the oil based on your discussion with your client partner as you book the appointment.
Whichever oil you choose may inspire you to select a specific CD. If not, be guided by the reflex points you’ll be working in this session. You’re going to stimulate your client partner’s body to fight disease so being “battle ready” may be important.
When I offer a Battle for Health Spa Treatment, I’m motivated to offer peppermint oil and have a few peppermint plants in pots in the healing space. You may be motivated to do something completely different. There are no “wrongs” here.
Have your music section playing when your client partner enters your space.
You may want to wash your client partner’s feet as the first step in this session. Warm some moist cloths in the microwave and gently clean your client partner’s feet.
When your client partner is comfortably situated face up on your table or in your reflexology chair, anoint your him/her with the selected oil. Put a few drops of the essential oil in the palms. Have him/her rub the palms together and hold them over the face and take a few deep breaths. Then have your client partner rub the hands over his/her face and head.
Now, seat yourself at your client partner’s head. . Bring in the Reiki and offer three Reiki holds to the head.
Now, move down to your client partner’s feet. When you offer reflexology to the feet, you’ll add some carrier oil to the essential oil and use this blend throughout the session. You may be able to find a commercial lotion in the right blend which you like.
Selecting the first foot, offer five minutes of delicious warm ups. Follow this with five minutes of general reflexology to your client’s foot.
You now have your client partner’s first foot prepared and ready to receive the Spa Session on this foot. In this part of the session, you’ll stimulate the glandular parts of the body as you work the reflex areas listed below. You’ll encourage your client partner to fight disease.
Work the following reflexes for twenty minutes on the first foot. Offer this section in the following order.
1. Work the solar plexus to relax the body and establish a good breathing pattern.
2. Work the spleen reflex to stimulate it to perform its immune functions.
3. Work the liver reflex to filter wastes as it cleans the body of toxins.
4. Work the kidney reflex to stimulate blood cleansing.
5. Work the intestinal reflexes to move toxins out of the body.
6. Work the lymphatic system reflexes to build a defense system against illness
6. Repeat the work on the solar plexus to finish the immune system path.
After spending fifteen minutes working the above listed reflexes, spend five minutes offering general reflexology. Finish the work on the first foot with five more minutes of warm downs.
Now, move to the second foot and repeat the process. This means you’ll offer five minutes of warm ups, five minutes of general reflexology, fifteen minutes working the reflexes in the following pattern:
solar plexus
spleen
liver
kidneys
intestines
lymphatic system
solar plexus
Finally, offer five minutes of general reflexology and then five minutes of warm downs.
When this is completed, offer your client ten minutes of Reiki theraapy on the feet. It is now time to seal the Reiki therapy part of the spa session.
Let your client rest for a moment while you get a bottle of water or a cup of herbal tea for him/her.
Spend a couple of minutes with your client while s/he drinks the water and returns to “now”.

A Reflexology Spa Treatment to Renew Your Client Partner
Our bodies are constantly discarding and regrowing new cells. Scientists tell us we create a new body every seven years. How this happens is pretty much shrouded in mystery but the endocrine system is the hub of this process.
Glands making up the endocrine system regulate this renewal as they control the growth and development of the body. One important thing our endocrine system does is boost the body’s ability to resist disease and fight infections.
A Renewal Spa Treatment is not a luxury. It’s a necessity for the client partner who wants to be as healthy and alert as possible.
Begin this session plan by selecting the essential oil you’ll use. My preferred essential oils for a spa session encouraging renewal are:
frankincense
Idaho balsam fir
lavender
lemon
myrrh
Roman chamomile
Once you select the oil, you’ll be guided to the music, the decor.
My favorite oil is lavender. However, some people don’t like lavender so it helps to move on to something else if your client partner resists.
So, when you book the appointment you need to find out if your client dislikes lavender. If so, you have other oils to choose from. But, settle this when you book the appointment so you’ll know how to coordinate the decor…music…
After you choose the oil, it’s time to choose the music. When my client partner is open to lavender, lemon, or Roman chamomile, I choose one of two CD’s I’ve had for years:
“Shamanic Dream” by Anugama
or
“Spiritual, Spiritual” by B Tribe.
If you don’t have either of these CD’s, you probably have something in your collection which will work. Whatever you choose, select music which is powerful and healing. You’re working with your client partner’s endocrine system here…a very spiritual part of his/her being.
Decor for this Spa Treatment may not take much work. You may not have to do much beyond taking away some clutter and adding a ceremonial throw for the table or chair.
Have your selection playing when you your client partner enters your healing space.
Offer your client partner a luscious water feature to begin this Spa Treatment. I suggest either a foot bath or simply washing the feet with wet terry cloth cloths that have been warmed in the microwave for a few moments.
If you go for a foot bath, think about a generous bucket or plastic water container filled with about four inches of warm water with a few colorful stones in the bottom. Let your client partner sit with the feet soaking in this essential oil scented water for 2-3 minutes before drying the feet. Then have him/her get on your healing table or reflexology chair.
When your client partner is comfortably situated face up on the table or in your reflexology chair, wrap the feet in warmed towels.
Begin by anointing your client partner with your selected oil. Put a few drops of essential oil in your client partner’s hands. Have him/her rub the palms together and hold them over the face and take a deep breath. Then, have your client partner rub the hands over his/her face,, head, and halo.
When you offer reflexology to the feet, add a bit of carrier oil to the essential oil and use this blend throughout the reflexology session. If you are using lavender or lemon, you may be able to find a commercial lotion which you like.
Move to your client partner’s head and bring in Reiki and offer three Reiki holds to the head.
Now, move down to your client partner’s feet.
Selecting the first foot, offer five minutes of delicious warm ups. Then offer five more minutes of general reflexology to your client partner’s foot.
Now, you have your client partner’s first foot prepared and ready to receive the Renewal Session on this foot. In this part of the session, you’ll stimulate the glandular parts of the body as you work the reflex areas listed below. You’ll encourage your client partner to heal, and rebuild.
Work the following reflexes for twenty minutes on the first foot in the following order:
1. Work the solar plexus to relax the body even more.
2. Work the pituitary gland because this is the gland which regulates everything.
3. Work the thyroid and parathyroid to balance the body’s metabolic rate.
4. Work the liver to enhance the immune system and remove wastes.
5. Work the adrenal gland to offer energy to the body.
6. Work the reproductive glands (ovaries/testicles) to balance this system.
Finally, work the solar plexus again to finish the rejuvenation path.
When you have worked these glands for twenty minutes on the first foot, spend five more minutes offering general reflexology. Then, finish up the first foot with five more minutes of warm downs.
Now, move to the second foot and repeat the process. This means you’ll offer five minutes of warm ups, five minutes of general reflexology and then you’ll spend the next twenty minutes working the body’s glands in the following pattern:
solar plexus
pituitary gland
thyroid and parathyroid
liver
adrenal gland
reproductive glands
solar plexus
Finally, offer five minutes of general reflexology and then five minutes of warm downs.
When this is completed, offer your client ten minutes of Reiki therapy on the feet.
It is now time to seal the Reiki therapy part of the Spa Session.
Let your client rest for a moment while you get a bottle of water for him/her.
Spend a couple of minutes with your client while s/he drinks the water and returns to “now”.

The Third Chakra and Reflexology
The reflex point for the third Chakra is the upper half of the instep, below the ball of the foot. This reflex point is found on both feet. Third Chakra issues include
anger
shame
victimization
self esteem
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN ABOUT THIRD CHAKRA ISSUES WITHOUT QUESTIONING:
How important is doubt in your life?
Can you make decisions?
How important is fear in your life?
Are you able to carry through decisions and plans to fruition?
Do you have to be right in every decision?
Do you always have to be the center of attention?
Do you lack willpower?
Do other people control your life?
Do you think for yourself?
Do you act on your own?
Can you survive on your own initiative?
Anger is a third Chakra issue because that’s where much anger is stored. Depending on how the Chakra is balanced, anger can range from no energy to excessive energy. Third Chakra anger focuses on self-esteem because the third Chakra governs our power.
We can feel this anger and need for power in our solar plexus, the home of the third Chakra in the body. This Chakra is where we feel “butterflies” when we are nervous as we develop our personal will.
The third Chakra is closely connected to Chakras one and two as energy moves up the spine from the base. As the energy reaches the third Chakra, it begins to take on a shape and a vocabulary as it finds its voice. The third Chakra is where we develop our own personal truth, formulate our own personal authority, and integrate personal power into our lives.
The third Chakra is the result of the development of the first and second Chakras. This is where we give voice to our truths.
Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer homeostasis, the balance of all body systems.
Reiki therapy sessions balance the Chakras.
Meditation is important to a balanced third Chakra. An unbalanced third Chakra creates a person unable to manage power.
An unbalanced third Chakra affects one’s posture, body language, and spinal alignment. It’s difficult to separate the physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties in this area. Yoga helps.
Physically, the third Chakra governs:
Stomach
Liver
Spleen
Pancreas
Gall Bladder
The third Chakra is a major power point. When you work with your client partner’s third Chakra, you offer an opportunity for the person to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

10 Ways the Liver Reflex Enhances a Reflexology Session
The liver is the largest organ inside the body. It’s a chemistry laboratory which helps keeps the body healthy. I don’t think anyone really knows exactly what the liver does. However, physiology and anatomy books tell us it does over five hundred different things.
Reducing liver activities to the lowest common denominator, the liver produces bile used to break up fat and absorb vitamins. The liver is a detoxing machine, filtering waste products.
The liver reproduces itself when necessary if it’s healthy enough.
The liver reflex point is on the right foot. It’s located on the sole of the right foot about one third of the way down between the toes and the heel. VerticaIly, it is below the line between the third and fourth toes.
When you reflex the liver, several things happen:
Working the liver reflex stimulates it to store and release copper, iron and vitamin B12.
Toxic wastes are filtered. This detoxing action is extremely important. Antibodies are produced as well.
Digestion is enhanced as bile is released. This breaks down food into usable nutrients.
Antibodies are produced which boost infection-fighting action if necessary.
Vitamin A is released to assist night vision.
Energy producing nutrients help fight fatigue.
Fresh bile manufactured regularly flushes out the gall bladder.
Fresh bile aids proper digestion which combats constipation.
Blood circulation heals damaged tissue.
Blood clotting is regulated.
