Reflexology
Reflexology
has its roots in the ancient cultures of Egypt, China and India
and is based on the belief
that the
feet are the 'gateway of the soul'. Reflexologists believe that
the main systems and organs
of the bodies are reflexed onto
the souls of the
feet and, by gently
working or massaging the feet, the body's ability to heal and protect
itself is maximised. As with Reiki, the principle of energy flow
is crucial to Reflexology: blockages in our energy flow prevent our
bodies from working properly and a treatment eases the flow of the
energy and restores our natural balance.
The treatment
The recipient lies or sits, with their feet at the hands of the reflexologist. The treatments starts with some gentle relaxation techniques, then the feet are massaged methodically, slowly and gently relieving aches and pains and helping the body combat any ailments. Reflexologists identify areas that may require additional attention, such as tension in the shoulders or menstrual problems.
