Reflexology is a safe and natural healing art that has been practiced for over 5000 years. Modern reflexology divides the body into 10 vertical zones which start at the head and end in the toes. The foot is viewed as a mini-map of the body. Each part of the body is linked to a reflex point or area on the foot through neural pathways. With the systematic application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology improves circulation, balances energy flow, flushes toxins and works to restore the natural functions of the body's systems. Reflexology triggers the body to move toward an optimal state of balance known as "homeostasis". It also induces a state of rest and repair needed to reduce stress and promote healing. Your practitioner covers all the reflex points to support overall health and to help the body concentrate healing energies wherever they are needed. Reflexology can safely relieve many stress-related symptoms and activate the body's natural ability to heal itself. Studies have shown reflexology to be beneficial for the relief of pain, anxiety, PMS, back/neck/shoulder tension, sciatica, headaches, digestive problems and many other complaints. Reflexology is effective because it influences every area of the body. And, since your practitioner can easily zero in on specific areas, your session can be personalized to reflect your individual goals and concerns. Although reflexology is much more than a foot massage, it does feel wonderful and your feet will feel light and relaxed.
REIKI
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning "universal life force energy". Reiki therapy directs this energy to the client for deep relaxation and stress reduction. Reiki works with a light touch or at a short distance off the body in a series of hand positions that start at the head and move progressively to the feet. As the energy flows, it goes to where it is needed to restore energy balance and to support the body's natural ability to heal itself. Your practitioner may also sense that certain areas are receptive to extra attention. Sensations of heat, tingling or pulsing may be felt during a Reiki session. A deep sense of well-being and relaxation is usually experienced. As Reiki energy flows, toxins are released that will be flushed out of the body in the hours after a session. Drinking extra water and bathing in Epsom salts help to speed up this process of detoxification. Reiki is known to reduce pain and speed healing. Reiki therapy is beneficial for a wide range of health concerns.
CHAKRA BALANCING
The chakras are spinning energy centers that regulate the flow of energy (ki) in and out of the body. They connect the energy field (aura) to the physical body. The condition of the chakras has an impact on and is reflective of a person's state of health. There are seven major chakras positioned from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra has its own related colour(s) and functions. Health issues such as stress can cause the chakras to spin weakly or out of balance. If left in this state, disease can eventually manifest in the body. During a chakra balance session, your practitioner lays a corresponding crystal gemstone on each chakra and allows you to rest for about 15 minutes. In addition, the chakras are cleansed, energized and balanced with Reiki. Chakra health may also be enhanced through meditation, the wearing of related crystal gemstones and the use of related essential oils.
Reflexology and Reiki sessions complement but do not replace necessary medical treatments. Please see your Doctor regarding any serious health issues.
