Reflexology is a form of massage of the soles, top and sides of the feet and has its origins in ancient Egyptian therapies. There is also evidence of Reflexology in ancient India and China.
The therapy has evolved through the
years and today the fully trained therapist is able
to view the feet as diagrams that mirror all of our
physical systems within the body and massage will, therefore,
work all parts of the body through the feet which, in
turn stimulate the healing forces ever present in the
body. It is a natural and wonderful way of balancing
the mind body and spirit, helping to dislodge any block
in our energy. It can help with so many illnesses and
those enduring physical pain.
We know how good it is to exercise and
eat wisely but we don’t always give much attention to
how our emotions affect us. Our minds and emotions are
very much part of our physical being and, when functioning
well, we feel good but when our emotions are in turmoil,
our subconscious is affected and we begin to feel physically
unwell.
If we ignore what our emotions are telling
us, in the long term, this can manifest as disease within
our physical body – our body’s way of telling us to
fix the problem.
Reflexology can help to calm the emotions
and restore the balance. It is also an excellent treatment
to help with stresses and strains. For those already
enjoying good health, Reflexology can help you stay
that way, as, reflex points in the feet are often tender
prior to disorders manifesting in the body.
A course of treatments has a cumulative
effect and is unique to each individual, in this way,
the underlying causes of imbalance and the symptoms
themselves can be treated with effective improvement.
