Specific reflexes are mapped out on the feet relating to the organs, glands and musculoskeletal reflexes. Connecting with the energy through your feet, I will tap in to and connect with any imbalances and /or energy blockages by working on and stimulating these reflex points enabling a release, restoring the free flow of energy within the body. Endocrine system and Chakras There are seven major chakras all of which have a relationship to one of the various glands of the body’s endocrine system. They are located along the spinal cord (branching from nerve roots to endocrine glands and organs). The energy created from our emotions and mental attitudes run through the chakras which interact with the body’s endocrine and lymphatic systems, having an effect on blood and tissue flow. During a Reflexology treatment, attention will be given to each of the Chakra reflexes that are positioned along the spinal reflex (this runs from the base of the heel to the tip of the big toe). It is very important that our Chakras are nourished and balanced in the correct way improving the vital energy flow and releasing energy blocks in order to maintain good health and prevent dis-ease. After treatment many people have an immense feeling of deep relaxation and a sense of calm, others may feel energised and completely invigorated, whatever the response, it is all part of the healing process.
