Health Relaxation through Reflexology

Reflexology sessions can improve the circulation in the feet, releasing toxins, and relieving discomfort in other areas of the body.

The ancient Art and Science of Reflexology. It is an effective way to bring balance and relaxation to your body and mind.

The origins of Reflexology reach back to ancient Egypt as evidenced by inscriptions found in the physician's tomb at Saggara in Egypt.  The hieroglyphics that were found and translated are as follows: "Do not hurt me."  The practitioner's reply: "I shall act so you praise me."

How fortunate we are to have this ancient art available to us in the present time.

Reflexology was presented as "Zone Therapy," a precursor to Reflexology.  Many books were published by doctors, including William H. Fitzgerald, M.D. and Edwin Bowers, M.D. with the findings of "Zone Therapy/Reflexology."

The determination, after treating thousands of patients, was that the reflexes on the feet were exact mirror images of the organs of the body.  By "working" these points, a Reflexologist can access points elsewhere on the body.  With further study, determinations were made that excellent results are also found with working on the reflex points of the hands.

The feet being the furthest from the heart, usually have the poorest circulation.  Having regular Reflexology sessions improves the circulation in the feet, releasing toxins, and relieving discomfort in other areas of the body, while accessing the Reflex points on the feet (or hands).  As with any treatments, or body work, it is always suggested that the client drink plenty of water to flush out toxins "loosened" by the session.

As a Reflexologist, for over 15 years, I have assisted numerous clients with issues, such as, stress, back pain, headaches, neck tightness/pain, constipation, etc.  There is no age limitation on receiving a Reflexology treatment.  From newborn to my eldest client who is a beautiful 101 years young.

A standard Reflexology session is an hour.  The first half is massaging both feet, followed by "Reflexing"' all the meridian on each foot.  Reflexology, a non-invasive, excellent, relaxing way to bring health and balance to your body and mind. Coupled with an Ear Candling session is a beautiful gift of relaxation and health to yourself and loved ones.

I look forward to answering any questions you might have on Reflexology, Ear Candling, Reiki, Hypnosis, Visualization, etc.  Please feel free to comment to me here at Patch, or email at: sacredfeatherhealingarts@yahoo.com   www.sacredfeatherhealingarts.com
