I’m sitting here reflecting on the mindbody connection.🤔

The key to healing does not always lie in making a drastic change. It does not always require of you to change job, alter your lifestyle, or even change your diet.

Sometimes the key to healing simply lies in changing your perspective.

Taking the way you think about something, setting that aside for a moment, and choosing to look at it in a different way. 🙃

That new way of thinking may sit better with your body, and healing may simply just occur. ✨

Language is no barrier to learning when you have a group of enthusiastic reflexologists and a great translator.

Another great couple of hours with these Polish practitioners on their 2nd of the two online Ear Reflexology training classes.👂💻😍

It was particularly wonderful to be a part of the sharing and discussions on the use of the ear work in their therapeutic practice, with this group of knowledgeable and passionate practitioners.

Thank you to Anna for her once again fluid translation. 🙏

It’s a pleasure and privilege to once again be part of the series of online speakers that the Irish Reflexologists' Institute offer. 💻👂💜

Next up on our 2026 Zoom CPD calendar:

Karen Middleton - Auricular/Ear Reflexology

Karen Middleton is a Reflexology Practitioner and Tutor in Auckland, New Zealand, and a member of Reflexology New Zealand (RNZ). She operates a thriving full time reflexology practice, and runs the Auckland School of Reflexology, which she opened in 2018.

Karen’s love for the ear work is second only to working on the feet. She looks forward to enthusing you with the ‘power’ of the two tiny reflexology ‘maps’ on either side of your head ….. your EARS!

Auricular/Ear Reflexology is a term that applies to a technique that is administered by working on the ears. The ear, just like the hands and feet, is a micro system, on which the entire body is ‘mapped’, in Reflexology terms, on the outer portion of the ear, called the auricle.

During this presentation Karen will share an ear protocol for working with people in the chronic care and palliative care realm, specifically during cancer treatment. You will learn how, and when to use it and integrate it in to your existing practice to enhance the support you can offer your clients.

The protocol in this course will focus on general calming - supporting anxiety, nausea, pain, and sleep.

As the second month of this year gets going I thought this post may be helpful.

Managing stress in our day to day lives is an essential part of maintaining both mental and physical wellbeing. 😩

In a fast-paced world, simple, accessible practices can make a powerful difference. 😌

🧘‍♀️We know that one of the most popular methods is yoga, which combines movement, breath, and mindfulness to calm the nervous system and improve resilience.

📚Reading is another popular and effective option, allowing the mind to slow down and escape daily pressures, even if only for a short time.

🌴Spending time walking in nature has been shown to lower cortisol levels and restore a sense of balance. Fresh air, greenery, the beach and the sea, and gentle movement work together to ground the body and quiet any racing thoughts you may have.

🎧Listening to music is equally powerful. The right genre to suit your style and preference at the time, can soothe emotions, lift mood, and create moments of calm throughout your day.

While all of these approaches are valuable, of course you know I will always put Reflexology at the top of the list. 😉

By encouraging deep relaxation and supporting the body’s natural healing response, reflexology offers you a uniquely restorative way to manage stress. ❤️

Holistic or Wholistic❓Have you ever wondered the difference❓

It seems Holistic (from Greek holos = whole) is the standard, widely accepted spelling.

Whilst Wholistic is a variant spelling emphasizing "whole" and is sometimes preferred.

I also found this explanation from http://grammarist.com/spelling/wholistic-and-holistic/

"Wholistic is the philosophy that all parts of a thing are interconnected. In medicine, wholistic treatment is the treatment of a person as a whole, mind, body and social factors. Related words are wholism, wholistically. Wholistic appears in 1941 as a cross between holistic and whole.

Holistic is the philosophy that all parts of a thing are interconnected. In medicine, holistic treatment is the treatment of a person as a whole, mind, body and social factors. Related words are holism and holistically. The word holistic is first seen in 1926, holistic medicine appears in 1960.

Wholistic and holistic are words that are interchangeable, though holistic is used more often when referring to holistic medicine and wholistic when referring to a philosophy of life."

Either way Reflexology fits the bill. Wahoo‼️😉❤️

A bit of hand and foot care for ME between clients, with my prickly balls. ❤️🧡

When you ask a reflexologist how reflexology works, you should hear a short, carefully prepared ‘speech’ that may include information about the following:

🔹reflexes and foot maps/charts
🔹zones and body relation lines
🔹stress and the stress response
🔹current theories and philosophies
🔹what to expect in your session
🔹etc, etc, etc.

Now, don’t get me wrong, this is a good and necessary ‘speech’, BUT I do love these words from the creator of modern day reflexology as we know it, Eunice Ingham.

“The why and wherefore I am not prepared to explain, I only ask that you try it out.”

Reflexology requires a partnership between giver and receiver (practitioner and client), for change and long lasting results.

Reflexology sessions on their own will not be the answer you are seeking, if you do not play your part.

Reflexology is a conscious healing opportunity. Grasp the opportunity fully on all levels and in every way.

Do the 'homework' that your practitioner may recommend for you to do, always following your logical thoughts and common sense, and tune in to your feelings, thoughts and sensations.

You, me and reflexology need to work at this together. 💙
