Envision Balance and Wellness
Envision balance and wellness, homeostasis, or whatever you want.
After including reflexology in your life, the most important thing you can do to bring about homeostasis is to become aware of the path you are now on..
We’re never going to get where we need to go unless we know:
where we’re going,
how we’re going to get there,
what we’re going to do when we arrive. .
This may seem like a subject that doesn’t belong in a reflexology text book, but it really does. If you’re going to help people get to a better place health wise, they need to know where they are going. Not everyone knows about setting goals. As you teach them goal setting they’ll envision the balance and wellness which is best for themselves and their health. And, you, likewise will benefit from setting your own goals.
Learning the importance of how to envision balance and wellness is a good start.
Sometimes, client partners come to a reflexologist, massage therapist, or whomever. After a few visits they begin to feel better and forget why they came in the beginning. Then they stop coming. Without lecturing, teach them that energy follows intent.
Your client partners need to see Reflexology for the Spirit as a process, not a pill. Keep them (and yourself) focused on what you find as you reflex their feet. You do this when you learn, gently, what is happening in their lives and their visits to other healthcare professionals.
Review, periodically, how their feet have changed, and how these changes affect their health in general as they envision balance and wellness.
You can keep your client partners focused on the goal if you know what it is. So, an important question to ask during the first visit is “Why did you come today? And, why not 6 months ago? Or 2 months ago?”
When you can get the answer to that question, you’ll both be on the way to balance and wellness (homeostasis) through a health goal.
Many healthcare professionals recognize health red flags. These flags differ from professional to professional. They can be
test results
client appearance
client remarks.
Red flags for a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner include:
fatigue
loss of appetite
fever
pain
itching
boils
irritation
inflammation
headaches
feeling jumpy or uneasy
coated tongue
halitosis
colitis
sinusitis
stomach ulcers
canker sores
boils
cancer
Many of your client partners may have multiple issues.
Each individual is unique. But, homeostasis is a goal that all can seek.
When this happens, the body is in a good health balance.
Disease is a sign that the flow toward homeostasis has reversed. So, the red flag words become markers teaching how far away from homeostasis the body has drifted.
You, as the Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner, are concerned with a person as a whole. You work to create a natural balance that is wellness oriented.
You seek to expand the positive potential for good health in all areas.
Disease prevention is the best medicine.

Reflexology Blog – Ulcers
ULCERS ARE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS WITH STRONG SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE. Ulcers can develop on the walls of the stomach, on the upper part of the small intestine. Wherever they develop, they can be quite painful.
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCUSS DIGESTIVE ULCERS WITHOUT DISCUSSING DIET. People suffering with ulcers should avoid black pepper, chili powder, chocolate, coffee, meat extracts, mustard, and spicy foods for starters.
Ulcers require the attention of a medical professional. some lifestyle changes, and the realization that the spirit is talking loud and clear.
Lifestyle changes include:
Eat food in moderation. A stretched stomach with an ulcer can be quite painful.
Choose to eat apples, cranberry juice, onions.
Avoid coffee and alcohol
Quit smoking. If you haven’t been smoking, now is not the time to begin this habit.
Avoid aspirin and other NSAIDs.
Wash your hands after every bowel movement.
REDUCE THE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE. People dealing with ulcers are usually very stressed. They may be under too much pressure and are possibly worried by financial, work, relationship, guilt, or shame problems. The goal here is to get to the point where it’s not necessary to worry so much. People dealing with these situations feel a need to be soothed, nurtured somehow.
And, this is where reflexology for the spirit enters the picture offering not only soothing relaxation but homeostasis.
When offering reflexology for the spirit to an ulcer sufferer, begin the sessions by working the solar plexus and diaphragm.
Work the digestive system with emphasis on the stomach and duodenal reflexes.
Work the endocrine system with emphasis on the adrenal gland reflexes.
Work the intestinal reflexes focusing on the entire Intestinal tract.
Finish the session by working the liver and solar plexus.

When You Consider the Pace and Demands of Life in the 21st Century, it’s no Wonder that Stress is a Huge Factor and Issue in our Health Care Dilemma
The causes are overwhelming and include lifestyle situations, medications, time management, relationship issues, which produce biological responses, any or all of which can contribute to making a person somewhat, or even very, ill. Many people live with stressed adrenal glands.
Prolonged stressful situations can have effects lasting an entire lifetime. In some cases, children growing up in stressful or abusive situations maintain a stress alert throughout adulthood so they never seem unstressed. This can contribute to disease even decades later.
Stress weakens the immune system and, because of this, becomes a factor in diseases such as angina, anorexia, anxiety disorders, autoimmune disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, colds, depression, Type II Diabetes, digestive diseases, fibromyalgia, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, immune suppression, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual irregularities, PMS, rheumatoid arthritis, sinusitis, ulcerative colitis, ulcers.
“Flare ups” because of an event or problem can trigger outbreaks of acne, arthritis, asthma, heartburn, Multiple Sclerosis.
It’s important for your client partners to develop positive coping habits to manage stress. These include yoga, meditation, tai chi, regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions.
A healthy diet is essential for stress management. People suffering from the effects of stress should restrict or eliminate caffeine, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates. Meals should be eaten in a relaxed atmosphere.
Reflexology for the Spirit facilitates homeostasis. It can also be used to calm the adrenal glands. This is essential when dealing with stress.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: thyroid, parathyroid, and pituitary reflexes as well as the lung, kidney, spinal reflexes and the solar plexus. Include extra warm ups and warm downs.
ESSENTIAL OILS: lavender, Roman chamomile, blue tansy, cedarwood, marjoram, rose, sandalwood, and frankincense.
Thanks for reading this blog. We are approaching the end of this section. There are three posts remaining: Sweaty Feet, Swollen Ankles, and Thickened Nails. After those posts, we’ll explore some spiritual and non-spiritual treatments for different medical issues.
As always, this post is coming to you from my healing space in Woodstock, NY.
Peace and food for all.
