 <\/p>\n

Cure – Reflexologists do not cure. \u00a0Instead, we promote healing, which can be a very<\/p>\n

different thing, depending on the issue.<\/p>\n

Patient – Reflexologists do \u00a0not have patients. \u00a0Physicians have patients. \u00a0We have client partners. \u00a0Some reflexologists have \u00a0clients. \u00a0But, whatever we have, we don’t have patients.<\/p>\n

Recommend – We do not recommend. \u00a0Instead, we work feet. \u00a0We concentrate our energies on facilitating healing.<\/p>\n

Advise – Reflexologists do not advise. \u00a0We support our client partners in their healing path. \u00a0Our work brings about homeostasis and synchronicity.<\/p>\n

Examine – We do not examine. \u00a0We read feet or hands or ears. \u00a0.We notice where our findings are located. \u00a0We work the feet, hands, ears, \u00a0to bring about healing, homeostasis, and synchronicity.<\/p>\n

Prescribe – We do not prescribe. \u00a0That’s for physicians and other medical professionals. \u00a0We rely on our hands and hearts to tell us what we find, to encourage healing, to facilitate homeostasis, to see synchronicity.<\/p>\n

Dispense – We have nothing to dispense beyond the sessions we offer.<\/p>\n

Diagnose – We do not diagnose. \u00a0Physicians assist us in our healing efforts when they offer a diagnosis. \u00a0This is important because it’s much easier to overcome a health issue if it has a name.<\/p>\n

Administer – We do not administer anything. \u00a0Instead, we read feet, offer sessions. \u00a0 Our noninvasive sessions have been offered to client partners for ages and ages.<\/p>\n

Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners use our hands, brains, and hearts.<\/p>\n

We do not need to over schedule our days to be successful. \u00a0Twenty-five appointments a week is a full time practice for a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner.<\/p>\n

We are not wedded to advertising. \u00a0Some of us don’t even have business cards. \u00a0Referrals work well for us.<\/p>\n

Because Reflexology for the Spirit works well with other modalities, many of us also practice yoga, massage, Reiki therapy, flower remedies. \u00a0That means we are always growing, learning.<\/p>\n

We honor our heritage. \u00a0Reflexology for the Spirit practitioners take our traditions back many, many years:<\/p>\n

Our history takes us far back in time \u00a0with beginnings shrouded in mystery. \u00a0What we do know is that early references to reflexology can be found in China, India, Japan, Egypt, Greece, North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Mediterranean, South American and North America.<\/p>\n

Historians tell us that Egyptians practiced both hand and food reflexology as early as 2500 BC. \u00a0If you ever travel to Egypt, please visit the burial ground at Saqqara. \u00a0The Physician’s Tomb there has a famous wall painting showing two people receiving reflexology.<\/p>\n

If you ever find yourself in Japan, be sure to visit the Medicine Teacher Temple in Nara. \u00a0There you’ll find a stone carving depicting the soles of Buddha’s feet in a carving dating to 790 AD.<\/p>\n

In India, there are paintings of Vishnu, the Hindu god’s feet with symbols corresponding to several reflexology points.<\/p>\n

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian form of medicine \u00a0becoming popular in our country. \u00a0Reflexology is incorporated in Ayurvedic medicine.<\/p>\n

Reflexology has been recorded in ancient Chinese writings describing pressure being applied to fingers and thumbs.<\/p>\n

From this glorious history and recent twentieth century trailblazers, we now have thousands of people practicing various kinds of reflexology throughout the world.<\/p>\n

Reflexologists the world over work in tandem with physicians as our field moves toward integrative medicine in the twenty-first century. \u00a0Integrative medicine works to heal the total person: \u00a0the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.<\/p>\n

Reflexology has endured the test of time and is modern as tomorrow in the 21st !century.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading this blog. \u00a0It has been a long time since I’ve posted an article. \u00a0I have been working full time\/overtime on the new book! \u00a0It’s happening!<\/p>\n
