22 Reactions to a Reflexology for the Spirit Session
During a reflexology session, several things can happen. A reaction is a sign that the therapy is working. Most clients respond to Reflexology for the Spirit by the 5th session at the very latest. A rule to remember is that we don’t know how a person’s body will respond to or react to any given reflexology session. The responses differ somewhat each time. The body changes daily because of the continuous changes taking place on a cellular level. Also, energy follows intent.
Common reactions include sweating palms and soles, coughing. laughing, sighing deeply, weeping, runny nose, increased urination, more frequent bowel movements, increased vaginal secretions, twitching or tingling in limbs, sudden cramps, electric-type shock up a zone, warmth in treated area, feeling movement or clawing feelings, great fatigue, overwhelming desire to sleep, and/or disappearance of all pain and discomfort.
A common reaction to Reflexology for the Spirit during a session for regular clients is sleep. Many client partners fall into very deep sleep states in which the throats become extremely relaxed. This can be a strong healing state for them. The space surrounding them always becomes quite warm when this happens.
But whatever the reaction to the reflexology session, the time frame is no more than 24 to 48 hours after the session. And whatever the session, this is a sign that it is working. Therefore, the reactions are a benefit.
There are some long term reactions to Reflexology for the Spirit which occur when the client partner makes a commitment to regular sessions received every week to 10 days. These benefits include consistently sleeping better, overall stress reduction, improved circulation, regular bowel movements, a gentle, natural detoxing, and a feeling of improved disease prevention.
These generalized benefits occur in addition to the specific one that the client partners can achieve through regular sessions.
There are many reactions which a client can exhibit during and after sessions. It’s best not to elaborate on them because a certain percentage of people will experience reactions simply because you discussed them. Let them occur naturally…if they are going to happen.
People come to a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner because they want to deal with one or more issues bothering them, such as sinusitis, for example. They often deal with the sinus problems and then also experience better sleep patterns, overall stress reduction, improved circulation, natural detoxing, etc. This is because Reflexology for the Spirit works to balance the entire body through homeostasis, not just the one problem that was offering symptoms.
It works on a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body offering benefit to a person’s overall health and well-being.

Colon Cleanses and Liver Cleanses: What do They Have to do With Reflexology?
Colon and liver cleanses are referred to throughout this blog/book. They’re important to one’s overall health if the goal is homeostasis. It’s very hard to achieve homeostasis with a toxic body. Diseases and health issues are easier to deal with when the body is clean.
It’s been said that health begins and ends in the colon. For me, this statement is true.
Colon cleanses are neither expensive nor complicated. Basically, you go to your local health food store, select an item from the colon cleanse products on the shelf, take it home and follow the direction. Cleanses involve taking pills or powders for a specific period of time such as a week.
For the most part, cleanse product are gentle and easy to take.
Liver cleanses are usually found on a different shelf. You do the same thing with liver cleanses that you do with the colon cleanses: Select a product, follow the directions.
Remember: Complete the colon cleanse before you begin the liver cleanse. If you take the liver cleanse before the colon cleanse, you may not feel well during the cleanse. This is also true if you take both the colon cleanse and the liver cleanse together. The uncomfortable feeling occurs when too many toxins are released at the same time.
You need to have the colon clean before you begin the liver cleanse because when the liver releases toxins, you need a clean colon to wash the toxins from the body.
That’s it.

Swollen Ankles and Feet can be Troublesome to Your Client Partners
Focus warm ups on the swollen areas in addition to your regular warm ups. Schedule appointments later in the day when edema sufferers seem to have the most problems.
Try to get your client partner to consult a medical professional. Often, people don’t realize these issues can be symptoms of systemic problems needing medical attention. You’ll offer relief and solace to the spirit and you are going to reduce swelling but
a physician needs to give a diagnosis.
The underlying cause of edema needs to be addressed.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: warm ups to the swollen areas, urinary system, immune system, nervous system, digestive system with emphasis on the liver, circulatory system, and the solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: tangerine, geranium, German chamomile, wintergreen, peppermint, lavender, grapefruit, helichrysum.
Thanks again for reading the blog. Our next post is the final one in this portion of the book/blog. It will focus on Thickened Nails and Skin. After the post on the Thickened Nails and Skin, we’ll be shifting gears to focus on other factors important to a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner.

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.

Skin Peeling is an Important Symptom in a Person’s Spiritual Life
Skin peeling on the feet or hands is a sign that the person is taking on a new life. Things are changing and this is reflected in the peeling.
Reflexology for the Spirit sessions offer support as your client partner has new experiences and takes on new beliefs. Because changes are drastic enough to encourage the skin of the feet and/or hands to peel, this is a good time for colon and liver cleanses. Encourage your client partner to take the colon cleanse first and then take the liver cleanse.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, sense organs, digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, skeletal system, muscular system, liver and the solar plexus. Reiki therapy is called for here also.
ESSENTIAL OILS: lavender, lemon, tea tree, orange, geranium, rosewood, helichrysum, spikenard, ylang ylang, German chamomile, cypress, frankincense, myrrh, and oregano.
The next post will be a bit longer because it will deal with Stress.

Multiple Sclerosis , an Extremely Spiritual Chronic Disease, Affects the Nervous and Immune Systems.
A person often has MS for several months or years before anyone diagnoses it properly. Its cause, and cure, is unknown. Multiple Sclerosis affects more women than men.Treatment focuses on the symptoms and efforts to modify the attacks.
Reflexology for the Spirit offers MS sufferers a method of encouraging the return to balance (Homeostasis). This is especially important for MS sufferers because stress seems to make the symptoms worse. And, Reflexology for the Spirit is a wonderful stress reducer. Regular sessions can also help sufferers cope with numbness, dizziness, tremors, fatigue, pain management, etc. Encourage weekly sessions.
DO NOT HEAT THE TABLE OR OVERHEAT THE ROOM.
MS sufferers are dealing with fear and a strong, inflexible personality. Think steel here. Tough. Inflexible.
In addition to regular sessions, there are a couple of things MS sufferers can try. The first is to try to take part in a medical trial. The second: Don’t ignore the pain. It’s a very real symptom of MS and affects the quality of an MS sufferer’s life. Avoid fevers if at all possible. This means an annual flu shot as well as staying away from people who might have a contagious disease. Finally, avoid stress as much as possible.
AREAS TO WORK: immune system, liver, solar plexus. Include Reiki therapy also.
ESSENTIAL OILS: juniper, wintergreen, frankincense, rosemary, basil, helichrysum, peppermint, thyme, marjoram.

Indigestion can Definitely be Treated with Regular Reflexology for the Spirit Sessions.
However, as with all spiritual afflictions, more is going to be needed than just a session or two. Lifestyle changes are needed. Does your client partner smoke, live a sedentary lifestyle, need to lose weight, or have other medical conditions contributing to the discomfort? Regular sessions focusing on the digestive tract offer support for positive lifestyle changes.
Once your client partner feels better, the motivation to eat better, get exercise, stop smoking, etc. is stronger.
The importance of working the digestive system regularly cannot be overestimated. A healthy digestive system improves how the entire body functions.
AREAS TO WORK: digestive system, immune system, endocrine system, nervous system, liver, solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: wintergreen, peppermint, nutmeg, fennel, ginger, spearmint, and grapefruit.
Thanks for reading this post.
Our next post will address Multiple Sclerosis.

We All Suffer From Fatigue at One Time or Another
Some people are so tired all the time they just ignore it. This is a total mistake. It’s often the first symptom of many, many illnesses including flu, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid problems, cancer, anemia, allergies, sinus infection, sleep deprivation, depression.
Fatigue can be one of the most important symptoms we experience warning us of disease. It can also be the symptom of a person whose emotional, physical, and spiritual reserves are empty.
Encourage your client partner to visit a primary healthcare provider who’s going to pay attention to his/her symptoms and try to find the cause. Whether the cause is physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, your Reflexology for the Spirit sessions will support your client in the quest for a life with more positive energy.
When you offer regular sessions to fatigue sufferers, you offer an opportunity to find deep relaxation and homeostasis.
Visits to a nutritionist to balance their diet and vitamin intake will help.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: Until the healthcare provider offers a diagnosis, work the immune system, skeletal system, nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, liver, and solar plexus. After a diagnosis is offered, work the systems necessary for dealing with these issues.
ESSENTIAL OILS: Until you receive a proper diagnosis from a healthcare provider, choose from peppermint, nutmeg, lemongrass, juniper, basil, lemon, rosemary, black pepper, thyme.

Eczema is an Itchy, Red Skin Irritation which Itches Before the Redness Appears
The eczema skin irritation first appears in itchy patches.
Several factors bring about eczema: stress, immune system overload, and allergies, all of which will respond positively to regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions. However, your client partner needs to identify what triggers the outbreaks and to adopt self-care strategies to control the problem.
Many eczema sufferers also have asthma.
Often, an eczema sufferer struggles with negative attitudes toward events in his/her life. When these occur, you see an eczema outbreak.
Typical things which set off an eczema bout include certain foods, drugs, animal dander, some metals, fragrances, cleaning products. Emotional stress, anger, poor circulation, and weather changes can compound the problem.
A little sun daily (10 minutes or so) can be helpful.
As with all immune system disorders, a clean environment is critical. This includes the home, car, air, water, body, workplace. Once a person begins to clean out the toxins, the body will have a chance to improve. Cleaning out involves discarding all the toxic cleansers and cosmetics in the home and replacing them with non-toxic cleansers and cosmetics which aren’t going to exacerbate the eczema.
Your client partner will be embarking on a journey of clean living which includes a diet free of toxins, chemicals, etc.
Since real health begins and ends in the colon, the next step is a colon cleanse.
Once the environment is cleaned up and the body is cleaned out, it will be easier to cope with stressful issues.
A hypoallergenic moisturizer is essential.
AREAS TO WORK: immune system, liver, lymphatics, digestive system, solar plexus
ESSENTIAL OILS: lavender, frankincense

When you work the Digestive System, you Help the Intestinal Trct Normalize Itself
Constipation is common in people seeking the services of Reflexology for the Spirit Practitioners. The good news is that the condition seldom continues as regularly scheduled Reflexology for the Spirit sessions progress. This is true of both children and adults.
Risk factors for constipation include a sedentary lifestyle, eating a low-fiber, high-fat diet, not getting enough liquids and, in my opinion, not getting enough vitamin C.
It’s difficult for the human body to achieve optimum health without a clean intestinal tract. Many conditions throughout the body can be improved as the intestinal tract begins to function properly.
Often, when you have a client partner coming for regular session to deal with constipation, you will begin to see a person who feels better, looks better, develops better eating habits, has more energy, and has a more generous outlook on life.
Although sessions offer a gentle detox, a colon cleanse followed by a liver cleanse will improve things immensely.
In normalizing colon function, dry brushing after bathing, lymphatic cleansing with exercise, weekly Reflexology for the Spirit sessions and regular use of a mini trampoline in addition to the cleanse will help.
AREAS TO WORK: digestive system, immune system, lymphatics, urinary system, liver and solar plexus
ESSENTIAL OILS: anise, peppermint, ginger, fennel, tarragon
