Instead, a portion of the body is considered.<br \/>\nFortunately, this attitude is changing.  More and more people are receiving healthcare for the whole person.<br \/>\nHealthcare for the whole person requires a different outlook, attitude.  It sometimes requires that we return to a much older model of wellness or illness, as it were.<br \/>\nI offer here a 7-point scale:<br \/>\n<strong>Level one is the lowest on the scale.  The word for level one is fatigue.<\/strong>  If your client partner comes to you complaining of fatigue or loss of appetite only, this person is experiencing the lowest level of disease.  As you offer a Reflexology for the Spirit session, try to find out why the person is tired.  Has s\/he been burning the candle at both ends?  What is happening here?<br \/>\n<strong>Level two is fever. <\/strong> Try to find out what is causing the fever.  Does your client partner even know?  How does the person know s\/he has fever?  How long has it been high?  What times of the day is it high?  When is it lowest?<br \/>\n<strong>Level three is irritation. <\/strong> The operative words here are:  headaches, itching, feeling jumpy or uneasy, coated tongue, halitosis.  What are the best ways to deal with these conditions?<br \/>\n<strong>Level four is inflammation <\/strong>to include colitis, sinusitis, gum disease, etc.  Is s\/he doing anything to treat these conditions?<br \/>\n<strong>Level five  is ulceration<\/strong>.  As in stomach ulcers or canker stores.<br \/>\n<strong>Level six is induration<\/strong>.  That is an encapsulated group of toxins.  An induration is a health issue that a person&#8217;s body has built a wall around.  Essentially, the body is saying:  &#8220;Toxins, I&#8217;m not going to deal with you now.  I&#8217;m going to close you in and deal with you later.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Level 7 is cancer.<\/strong>So&#8230;we go from fatigue to cancer.  All these levels are important.  The issues at each level must be addressed and treated&#8230;not ignored.  They are all connected.<br \/>\nThrough regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions, we can address these issues to facilitate homeostasis.  And, these conditions are all valid reasons to visit a physician.  The reflexologist works on a regular basis to address the whole person and facilitate homeostasis.<br \/>\nThank you for reading this blog\/book.
