Healing Your Sole

 Our feet are home to literally thousands of nerve endings and almost 70 acupuncture points, which is why foot reflexology is so effective. By massaging and stimulating specific areas on the soles of our feet, we can provide general support for our entire body, improve sleep patterns, increase physical and mental well-being, and also alleviate chronic conditions such as sinusitis and digestive upset. Although it is wonderful to work with an experienced foot reflexologist whenever possible, we also can develop a practice of treating ourselves to a self-reflexology treatment before we begin our day or in the evening to relax before going to bed.

There are a number of different ways to work the soles of your feet, including walking barefoot on river stones, rolling each foot over a golf or tennis ball, or just using your fingers and hands to massage your feet. When starting a reflexology session, it’s a good idea to begin with loosening up your ankles — rotate each foot clockwise then counterclockwise about 10 times. You also might want to pinch the end of your toes, which can increase circulation and drainage in your sinuses and stimulate your pituitary and pineal glands. Then you can begin massaging the ball of your foot, the arch, and the heel. If you find an area that is tender, it may indicate some distress or dysfunction occurring in the corresponding area of the body. You may want to explore what is going on with that organ or system.

Whether we are able to spend just a few minutes a day on this kind of self-care or a full half hour, our efforts are never wasted. By taking responsibility for our own health and taking time every day to connect with our body, we can not only assist our body in letting go of stress and dysfunction; we also can continue to support an ongoing sense of wellness and vitality.

Miraculous Reflexology: How to Give Yourself a Foot Massage That Heals the Body

As an old saying goes, “The root dries up first before a tree dies, and the feet grow feeble first when a man ages.”

The feet not only support the weight of the whole body, but also have a close relationship with the individual’s overall health. Foot massage can improve many small health issues throughout the body.

To address the various health problems common to modern people, such as eye fatigue, allergies, and cardiovascular diseases, foot massage expert Professor Zheng Yingji, who has been studying traditional Chinese medicine and foot massage for more than 40 years, shares with us the massage techniques that can be used at home.

There are seven types of people who shouldn’t do foot massages: people with foot trauma, people whose blood vessels are prone to rupture, patients with serious diabetes and wounds, severe hypertension or hypotension patients, involuntary mental patients, extremely weak patients, and people whose face is particularly red or pale.

The human body is a masterpiece of the Creator. From the brain, facial features, organs, urinary organs, internal and external reproductive organs, to lymph and nervous systems and bones, all of them have corresponding reflex areas in the feet. Applying pressure to different parts of the feet corresponding to the organs which, if they aren’t functioning well, will produce pain and can even uncover diseases.

A foot massage can be used as a complementary therapeutic technique. And together with medical treatment, it can have a multiplying effect. Professor Zheng has used foot massage to save his own daughter, who was once on the verge of death, and to improve his son’s sequelae of preterm birth. Also, regularly performed foot massage can condition and strengthen the body for healthy people....<<<Read More>>>...

Personal Practical Reflexology

A very interesting personal experience occurred recently. For nearly two years I've had a white fungal nail infection on my big left toe.

I've also had a recurring problem with a sinus infection.

Two nights ago after reading the reflexology chart shown left (I've been undertaking energy work on my feet with an advanced healing tool) I realised that the fungal nail infection coincided with the point on the big toe attributed to the sinus.

I applied some anti-fungal cream onto my big toe. Next morning my left big toe nail was clear of the infection. I've not had blocked sinuses since; either. Coincidence?

Understanding The Soul Of Foot Massage

Foot Massage or Reflexology as it is sometimes known has it origins in China and has been around for more than 3,000 years and is normally used to help prevent or cure many different ailments that affect us.However there is some possible evidence (cave drawings in Egypt) that foot massage dates as far back as Ancient Egyptian times. The principles of foot massage involves the meridian network which connects all the tissues, organs and cells in a persons body and each organ in the body is connected to a specific area (reflex point) on the foot through the 300 nerves that run around the body. A Reflexogolist (Foot Masseur) is trained to place pressure on these different meridians (energy lines) in either the sole or side of a person’s foot and determine what is causing their particular illness and then carrying out the necessary treatment to rectify it.By applying pressure to these reflex points on a person’s foot a Reflexogolist is able to stimulate the activity of a person’s internal organs as well as improve both the circulation of blood and lymph’s around the body....read more...
