The Benefits Reflexology may offer ~
๐ Stress Reduction and Relaxation๐
This, for me, is one of the major benefits! We all live with stress in varying degrees and constantly I see how much a session reduces anxiety levels, induces a deeply relaxed state in my clients and can improve sleep. I feel if it does nothing else, this is worth their time getting a reflexology treatment.
๐ Balancing ~ mood, hormones, the whole system ๐
Homeostasis = in a dynamic state of balance...where the whole body system feels together and centred...mind, body and spirit.
๐ Revitalising ๐
Re-invigorating and re-energizing the whole body system, improving circulation, improving digestive health and improving toxin and waste elimination aids the client to feel more alive, improving wellbeing, creativity and productivity.
๐ Prevention ๐
Preventative health care can be an important factor in considering regular Reflexology sessions. Reducing stress and tension, improving metabolic function and boosting immune function helps the body maintain its natural defense against illness and infection.
Each client is unique and each session they have is unique but some of the above are constant factors I see as beneficial effects of regular Reflexology sessions. One of the most common comments I hear from my clients is their feet feel lighter, they feel lighter, more relaxed and restored๐โจ๏ธ.
๐ฃWhy the feet? The feet are ideally sized and their shape together is very like the shape of the torso. The "map" of the body organs and systems translates easily on to the shape of the feet. They are very sensitive with a network of nerve endings. In the acupuncture system, the meridians flow from the toes, through the body, to the fingertips. The feet can also be a lovely, non threatening way to introduce someone to caring therapeutic touch. They are distanced from the torso and clients do not need to disrobe for a treatment so it can be less threatening. Our feet are often neglected, disliked and abused, crammed constantly into shoes, sometimes fashionable but uncomfortable. The feet are our connection to the earth, our link to the natural earth energies that flow through it and ground us, giving us stability and balance.
Are you intrigued, interested and looking to try a Reflexology treatment? Are you worried about how "awful" your feet are? Do you not usually like to have your feet touched? I have several clients who have felt they absolutely couldn't have their feet done, but once they try it, there is no turning back and they find enormous benefit and enjoyment in having a Reflexology treatment with me. You can only try it once and what do you have to lose?! It may be the best thing you do for yourself ๐ฃ๐โ๏ธ
