Reflexology, the gate of grounding and self healing.
Reflexology is a complementary, alternative practice based on the theory that feet, palms and ears are representing mirror images to the individual’s internal organs.
The treatment involves different amounts of pressure techniques to the reflex points of the microsystems of the body (feet, palms and ears), with no side effects.
The premise that the whole body and all its organs are mapped onto the feet serves as an example of the cosmological principle, which states that the macrocosm is mirrored in the microcosm, as the structure of our solar system is mirrored in the structure of atom.
How does reflexology work ?
Reflexology stimulates both circulatory and lymphatic systems as well as parasympathetic activity.
During a session of reflexology you can experience a nice restorable sleep and a state of deep relaxation, enhancing the general homeostasis.
Also, by applying pressure to the reflex points energy blocks or disturbances such as calcium, lactate acid and / or uric acid crystals are reabsorbed and later eliminated, a process referred to as detoxification.
Reflexology works via the nervous system, by pressing the reflex of the stomach for instance, nerves will send signals to the peripheral nervous system, then will enter the central nervous system where the brain can process the information.
The brain relays messages to the internal organs and glands to make adjustments such as getting more nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
Why reflexology is beneficial?
Reflexology promotes relaxation, During a reflexology session most people fall asleep and awake refreshed and restored, with a wonderful sense of well-being, and inner harmony.
Reflexology Detoxifies the Body, The lymphatic system of elimination, such as the colon, kidney and skin is responsible for the detoxification of the body. If they are not functioning properly, then toxins will build up. By awakening the reflex zones cam palpate these waste deposits and eliminate them. (The toxins can be identified as small grains and broken down during a reflexology treatment.)
Reflexology Revitalizes Energy, Reflexology regenerates and opens up energy pathways, revitalizes the body and supplying it with renewed energy. We are all very much aware of when our "batteries" are low and many individuals feel tired and lethargic all the time. It is vital to find a natuaral and holistic way to recharge our batteries!
Reflexology Imroves Mental Function, Reflexology calms the mind and relieves it of all unnecessary "clutter". Thus mental alertness is restored, thoughts can be clarified, and new ideas can be stimulated.
Reflexology Stimulated Emotional Release, Reflexology can adjust emotional imbalances of the body. During treatment, unresolved emotional problems are made to rise to the surface and dealt with. Many physical ailments stem from an emotional source.Negative states of mind will block the free flow of life.
Reflexology Improves Circulation, By applying pressure at the reflex areas is a method of improving blood circulation. Better blood circulation leads to greater oxygenation, faster healing and toxins removal.
