I enjoy finding something new each week to bring to you. I love talking about the practical, the technical, the philosophical, but what I love the most are the moments in reflexology that bring me closer to spirit. I’m sure you know what I mean – when you realize in the midst of your reflexology session, there’s just a quiet calm. These are very special moments. It reminds me of when I was an artist – a painter. I still am, but I say, “I used to be an artist” because I haven’t painted a picture for a while.r

I was just reviewing the tutorial I had this week with a student in my current Professional Reflexology Training Program. I love the laser focus that working one-on-one can give and, as always, huge improvements were achieved. Because this particular student is also a massage therapist, the conversation included not just the specifics of thumb walking and reflex point locations but also ergonomics –meaning the best posture and angle to sit and work to minimize stress on the body.r

Before I get to the reflexes, I want to talk a little bit about the digestive system as a whole. The best place to start is with the first step in the digestive process. Believe it or not, it happens before you even taste your food. Just by smelling the aroma of mom’s homemade cherry pie or thinking about how delicious that salad is going to be, you start salivating – and the digestive process begins, preparing for that first scrumptious bite.r

It seems to me that reflexology and working with the elderly is a match made in heaven. Alte atives to medications are always of interest because they are often safer and with fewer side effects. People usually seem rejuvenated after a reflexology session (and if they’re not, it’s because the body needed to rest a bit longer). Reflexology definitely shows results and it’s proven all the way back to ancient times. Not only have nursing homes accepted reflexology as a powerful complementary and alte ative therapy, reflexology has also found its place in eldercare and hospice.

Reflexology has long been viewed by many Americans and medical professionals as little more than a foot massage. Recent scientific studies show that chronic pain, digestive disorders and other common health problems can be relieved through the use of reflexology. The science and study of today’s reflexology was developed by three medical doctors in the early 20th century and involves a unique pressure technique on “reflex maps”, which are three dimensional micro maps of the human body, found on the feet, hands and outer ears.

Each one of us goes through “darkness” at some point in our lives. We lose our direction and our compasses. We lose our connection to God/to the universe/to our inner source. How we lose our direction comes from certain situations, sometimes out of our control, and sometimes not, such as losing a job, losing a loved one either through death, or growing apart in a different direction. We feel that there is a piece of us that is missing or empty and the darkness grows within us. There is an emptiness that we can’t fill and sometimes cannot overcome.

Many people struggle to survive without realizing they have the power within to create change. With every new millennium we get the opportunity to work with new paradigms, or ways of experiencing life. The paradigm we are shifting out of puts the focus outside of yourself for healing and guidance. This also includes blaming something or someone, rather than taking responsibility for your situation.

Metamorphosis is a self-healing art and a philosophy on creating greater consciousness within. We use the concept of reflex points to address the unconscious genetic and karmic patterns that arrive at conception that create disease and disharmony in our lives and in our collective experience. As these patterns change we experience greater awareness, better health, genuine relationships and less conflict in life. As we change the work around us changes.
