as strong as cancer.\u00a0 Grief eats away at your body.\u00a0 Carrying past wounds makes you fearful, angry.\u00a0 You attack yourself from the inside out.\u00a0 Finally, you are running on empty.<\/p>\n<p>Cancer is a complex and life-threatening disease.\u00a0 It requires specially trained health care professionals.\u00a0 Your journey to wellness will be easier and more effective if your medical knows about any and all alternative remedies you use.\u00a0 Your recovery calls for conventional physicians and integrative medical techniques.\u00a0 In other words, use every tool you feel will work.<\/p>\n<p>Include internists, physical therapists, nutritionists, bodyworkers, healers in your wellness team.\u00a0 Everyone is needed to care for you and give you a better path to success.<\/p>\n<p>As with arthritis, there are many different forms of cancer.\u00a0 Your reflexology, Reiki, and chakra healing sessions, received 24 to 48 hours after chemotherapy help move the medication throughout your body more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Regular sessions offer a deep sense of relaxation, homeostasis, pain relief, and reduce stress.\u00a0 If reflexology is not available, try other bodywork modalities.\u00a0 They can change your cancer experience.\u00a0 Safe, effective healing bodywork therapies offer nurturing in tandem with cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<p>When you suffer from cancer, continue all your treatments, both allopathic and complementary.\u00a0 Your reflexologist will support your return to good health through all your treatments.\u00a0 Your sessions will be most effective when you combine reflexology with Reiki, chakra healing.<\/p>\n<p>Do you practice Reiki?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Now might be a good time to start.\u00a0 Self Reiki sessions can help with fear, nausea, and pain.<\/p>\n<p>RISK FACTORS<\/p>\n<p>The list is long:\u00a0 age, air pollution, diabetes, excess sun exposure, exposure to chemicals, family history, heavy alcohol consumption, obesity, polyps in colon, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, poor health.<\/p>\n<p>Some professions believe cancers don&#8217;t need risk factors because many people get cancer who don&#8217;t have applicable risk factors or who are not exposed to them.\u00a0 This makes cancer a more spiritual set of diseases.<\/p>\n<p>CHAKRAS<\/p>\n<p>The location of your cancer tells you which chakras are affected.\u00a0 With cancer, the chakras need to be balanced.<\/p>\n<p>Prostate and rectal cancer involve your root chakra.\u00a0 Cancers of your cervix, ovaries, uterus, colon, unbalance your sacral chakra.\u00a0 Cancers of your stomach, liver, intestinal tract, pancreas, unbalance your solar plexus chakra.\u00a0 Your heart chakra becomes unbalanced by breast and lung cancers.\u00a0 Lung cancer unbalances your throat chakra as well.\u00a0 Finally, brain tumors affect your crown chakra.<\/p>\n<p>REFLEXOLOGY SYSTEMS TO WORK<\/p>\n<p>brain reflexes, endocrine system, digestive system, immune system, respiratory system, the lymphatics, circulatory system, nervous system, liver, solar plexus<\/p>\n<p>ESSENTIAL OILS<\/p>\n<p>Canadian red cedar, clove, dill, Douglas fir, galbanum, grapefruit, hyssop, Idaho balsam fir, lavender, ledum, maleleuca, myrrh, myrtle, nutmeg, patchouli, rose, sage, sandalwood, tarragon, thyme, tsuga, valerian, ylang ylang<\/p>\n<p>VITAMINS AND MINERALS<\/p>\n<p>Consult with your nutritionist, your physicians, and your entire support team to choose vitamin and mineral supplements for your situation.\u00a0 Nutritional support will help decrease any side effects you experience.\u00a0 Some professionals believe you will recover faster, have fewer complications if you take nutritional supplements.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about which supplements are best for you, I refer you to Village Apothecary, 79 Tinker Street, here in Woodstock, New York, 12498.\u00a0 I get all my supplements at Village Apothecary.\u00a0 I trust Neil Smoller&#8217;s advice.<\/p>\n<p>THINGS TO DO<\/p>\n<p>Normalize your cholesterol levels.\u00a0 Exercise.\u00a0 Use smart food choices, portion control to balance your weight. \u00a0 Staying active helps relieve fatigue, reduce anxiety, lift pain, boost energy, preserve muscle strength, protect bones. \u00a0Avoid overexposure to sun. Skip the alcohol.\u00a0 The list, it seems, is endless.<\/p>\n<p>If you read this section of the book, maybe you&#8217;re taking stock of your life.\u00a0 Now is a good time to search your inner self and seek those lost parts you&#8217;ve ignored for a long time.\u00a0 Move them onto your front row of attention.\u00a0 Nourish those feelings and thoughts.\u00a0 Put them in the spotlight.\u00a0 Your goal is to feel safe so you\u00a0 can heal.<\/p>\n<p>IMPORTANT FOODS IN YOUR DIET<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a correlation between fat, meat, and cancer.\u00a0 Fruits, vegetables, fiber are necessary for you if you are trying to prevent or treat cancer.\u00a0 Nutrition is important.<\/p>\n<p>Some well known cancer-fighting foods include green tea, garlic, soy, turmeric, and ginger.\u00a0 No one food can cure cancer.\u00a0 But a good diet can help your quality of life while you fuel your body.\u00a0 At mealtime, fill your plate with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.<\/p>\n<p>DEFENSE STRATEGIES<\/p>\n<p>Living well offers protection against many cancers.\u00a0 Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy diet.\u00a0 Exercise regularly.\u00a0 Avoid tobacco and alcohol to prevent many cancers.\u00a0 Get a bit of sunlight every day.\u00a0 There is, however, no magic bullet.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTIONS TO ASK<\/p>\n<p>Have I left my community behind?\u00a0 Is deep stress undermining my immune system?\u00a0 Can I be honest about my feelings?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading this article.\u00a0 Please refer it to your preferred social media network.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading this blog!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Reflexology-2nd-edition-Cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2700\" src=\"http:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Reflexology-2nd-edition-Cover-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Reflexology-2nd-edition-Cover-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Reflexology-2nd-edition-Cover-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Reflexology-2nd-edition-Cover-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/reflexologyforthespirit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Reflexology-2nd-edition-Cover.jpg 797w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spiritually, few diseases have an impact as strong as cancer.\u00a0 Grief eats away at your body.\u00a0 Carrying past wounds makes you fearful, angry.\u00a0 You attack yourself from the inside out.\u00a0 Finally, you are running on empty.
