 What
is Foot Reflexology?
Foot Reflexology is an ancient healing art that
focuses on areas of the feet which correspond to all parts of the
body. There are ten zones in the body, starting at the 10 toes, and
traveling vertically up the body to the top of the head, and out to
the 10 fingers. If anything within a zone is overactive,
underactive, injured or compromised in some way, it can have an
affect on any other organ or body system within that zone. By
touching the Reflex Zones on the feet, the nerve ending transfers
that touch (that energy) through nerve impulses and energetic
pathways to bring corresponding areas of the body within that zone
into balance. Reflexology helps a person to be in a relaxed state,
which will allow them to connect with their own body’s natural
healing power. Science has shown that touch alone can trigger
endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, to be circulated
throughout the body creating a relaxation response. For some,
Reflexology is an invaluable tool for relaxation and exploring the
self.
Reflexology is a wonderful tool to facilitate healing. Many clients
reach the Alpha or Theta brain wave state. It is this level of
relaxation, similar to REM sleep, at which the central nervous
system makes its critical adjustments for the body's healthy
function. When in a relaxed state, the body naturally knows what it
needs to do to restore its own balance. Reflexology aids in this
process.
