and reaching the brain, sinus cavities, glands, stomach, spinal
column, reproductive system, etc…

The human body is an amazing work, it never ceases to amaze me,
as a Massage therapist I learn new and wonderful things about it
almost daily it seams.

Reflexology is an ancient healing art, that was lost for awhile and the

re-discovered.

In short we have areas on our feet that correspond with every area on our

body, we also have these points on our hands and to some extent on our ears.

The method we use to practice is as follows:

First we do some really yummy releasing exercises, Reflexology is primarily

gentle touch, which is really the only way to send the signals from our feet upto

our body is to do it when our feet are relaxed and more alert.

There are two major methods of performing reflexology, there is finger walking (where
your thumb or forefinger walk along different patterns on the foot, but it looks
and feels more like it’s trying to wiggle like a worm, it takes some practice to
accomplish, but isn’t too hard.) Then there is hooking in and pulling back, where
you kind of hook your thumb into a point and scoot it down a little towards the
heel.

Another quasi-stroke I find that works well also is if you find a point that’s really
congested, you can rotate counter clockwise, in essence it will feel like you’re sending
the congestion back up into the body, and for really lose or lack of congestion you can
pull energy down to that spot by rotating clockwise - you can recognize by the way it
feels - it usually feels hard and/or may have some urine crystals in(bet you didn’t know
that uric acid settles in the foot and when you feel little crunchy things in someone’s feet
it’s really these crystals)

Of course to practice I would get a good chart of the points on the feet, and also some books for further reading, as there’s a lot more you can learn about reflexology
this is just a starting point.
