A Healthy Heart
A healthy heart and circulatory system are necessary to feel and express emotions positively. When you work the circulatory system, you distribute love and healing. This improves your client’s sense of self worth and balances blood flow. When your client’s sense of self worth improves and when the emotions are expressed positively, life improves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
When I begin to address my client partner’s heart health, the first place I go is to the fourth chakra. This means that I work the heart chakra on the reflex points on my client partner’s feet.
I also include an essential oil in the reflexology session when I work the heart and circulatory system. I may choose lavender. If my client partner needs grounding, I’ll reach for geranium. You may have other oils in your tool box which will attract you.
If my client is overweight or underweight or if the skin color is not too good, I’ll offer a list of healing foods that are important for heart/circulatory issues. If I think it’s a good idea, I’ll recommend a visit to a nutritionist.
Heart health issues often take years to show themselves in the body. Lifestyle habits contribute. Heart health issues involve the whole body – the physical, mental, spiritual, emotional layers. Spiritually, heart issues reflect long standing wounds, rejection, and self-criticism.
If I have time, I’ll include a guided meditation in the session. Guided meditations are always good for fourth chakra issues. My favorite fourth chakra guided meditation invites my client partner to go beyond the curtain to a past life because heart health baggage is often past life.
This can be a little challenging if your client partner doesn’t believe in past life issues. When that happens, go to the time right after birth. Some past life issues are still open for you and your client partner in infancy.

Asthma – a Very Real Spiritual Disease
Asthma is a condition involving severe breathing difficulty due to allergies, emotional and/or spiritual stress as well as other issues. Asthma attacks include shortness of breath, cough, generalized wheezing, and abnormal breathing.
Spiritually, people suffering with asthma seem, to me, to be trying too hard to please others. When people are trying to be perfect, they sometimes have trouble standing up for themselves and expressing their feelings. Asthma sufferers often feel controlled, hurt, stuck, and caged.
Asthma is one disease which is rising rapidly in our country. Many children suffer with asthma. My opinion is that children suffer with asthma when they are pushed toward independence too soon. The children may feel insecure. The relationship to the mother is important here.
As the child grows up, the relationship issues are more often involving the boss in a work relationship. As an employee, the person has trouble breathing for him/herself. The person feels helpless and is in a situation where suffocation describes the situation. And, of course, stressful events just make the asthma worse.
Emotions felt here include a need to express one’s feelings and emotions. Anger, grief, lost boundaries.
The person suffering with asthma can do several things, the first of which is to have a competent health care professional actively involved in the situation. Asthma is not a situation where a person self treats. ACUTE ASTHMA ATTACKS REQUIRE MEDICATION IMMEDIATELY.
A good first step is to identify allergens, and take steps to reduce the allergic threshold. This means taking allergy shots. This can save or eliminate much discomfort.
Eating a diet suitable for asthmatics can significantly improve your health. Generally speaking, a vegan diet is best for an asthmatic. This diet eliminates all animal products. Your positive response to this diet might be slow so plan to eat a vegan diet for several months before you notice dramatic reduction of asthma symptoms. Consult with a nutritionist to make sure you are eating the best foods for you and your condition.
Try to eat pure foods as food additives can contribute to asthma attacks. Basically, avoid processed foods as much as possible. Stick with fresh, organic foods whenever possible.
Be sure to get a sufficient amount of omega-3 fatty acids daily.
Vitamin C, Magnesium, and B6 are also helpful.
Let your nutritionist guide you through the food supplement maze.
Whenever I need supplements, I go to Liz at the Woodstock Apothecary. She is their staff nutritionist. Her knowledge and experience have saved me money and improved my health.
When using Reflexology for the Spirit to offer sessions to an asthma sufferer, begin by focusing on the solar plexus and diaphragm. Then work the endocrine system focusing on the pituitary gland reflexes and then the adrenal gland reflexes. Work the respiratory system focusing on the lung reflexes. End the session by working the intestinal reflexes.

Arthritis and Reflexology for the Spirit, Continued
When an arthritis sufferer uses all the health care professionals available to him/her, the results are better. Fewer drugs will be consumed. That’s an important result.
A Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner deals with the problems presented by arthritis over the long haul. When working with an arthritis sufferer, you need to learn about all the things s/he can do in the self help arena. Try to learn all the things that the rheumatologist recommends. When you know these things, you can work with them. Know about recommended exercise therapy. How does acupuncture fit into the overall picture? What does the nutritionist recommend?
Optimum improvement depends on repeated, regular visits to the Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner’s table. The other specialists will “come and go” as needed in the client partner’s life. You, on the other hand, owill be seeing this person weekly.
Arthritis sufferers often postpone getting needed treatment necessary for relief. This is not a good approach. The sooner your client partner begins to aggressively combat arthritis, the better off s/he will be – even years down the line.
When working with an arthritis sufferer, regardless of the type, keep in mind that you are dealing with a person who cannot help being overly critical both of self and others. Many arthritis sufferers appear to harbor resentment and blame in many areas of life. This is a huge statement considering the number of people suffering with arthritis.
AREAS TO WORK: solar plexus, entire endocrine system, urinary system, immune system, nervous system, digestive system, circulatory system, liver, solar plexus and individual joints the client partner is suffering with.
ESSENTIAL OILS: wintergreen, peppermint, nutmeg, German chamomile, clove, copaiba, helichrysum, Idaho balsam fir, white fir, pine, eucalyptus globulus, frankincense, and myrrh are popular with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis sufferers.
Violet Flame Reiki therapy is appropriate for arthritis sufferers.
The next post will cover bunions.
