TODAY'S LEARNING
Reflexology: A Mini Guide To Healing & Wellbeing

Reflexology uses specific techniques of massage and manipulation of the hands or feet to stimulate the body’s natural healing responses and to promote a sense of general wellbeing.

According to reflexologists, every organ, gland, and bodily section has a corresponding reflex point on the hands and feet.

By activating these reflex points, you can enhance blood circulation and release blocked nerve impulses, which will make you feel physically calm and rejuvenated.

Treatments with reflexology also soothe and relax the mind, which lowers anxiety and stress.

Reflexology is a natural way to cure and relieve pain that can also be used in conjunction with medication.

Benefits of Reflexology

It is now estimated that 75% of ailments, injuries, aches and pains are present due to stress. Through the release of tension, reflexology enables the body to mend and heal itself.

Reflexology is known to: 

• Relieve the effects of stress

• Improve and supports the immune system

• Increase circulation

• Clear the body of toxins

• Relieve pain Improve Digestion

• Eliminate waste from the body Promote relaxation

• Lower blood pressure

• Improve and balances hormonal function

• Relax tense muscles and ligaments

• Improve nerve function Improve sleep

The combination of relaxation and the physical changes during a treatment places reflexology as an effective treatment for stress-related issues, heel spurs, sore muscles, headaches, sinus issues, digestive issues, depression, menstrual issues, injury recovery, pregnancy, and many, many more illnesses and conditions.

Reflexology addresses the full person rather than merely concentrating on a single ailment by restoring balance to the physical, mental, and emotional domains. It can help those who are managing chronic illnesses, address acute problems, and serve as a program for maintenance and prevention. Reflexology is very effective in supporting women and couples through the journey of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. It is appropriate for all age groups, young or old.

To support their customers' improved health, professional reflexologists approach their patients holistically and collaborate with allopathic (conventional Western) healthcare providers.

Origins of Reflexology

The practice of reflexology has its roots in numerous civilizations and goes back thousands of years. Reflexology's earliest known examples come from drawings found in ancient tombs dating back to 2500 BC, which show feet being held and massaged. Through the Roman Empire, this practice eventually made its way to Greece, Arabia, and finally Europe. Buddhist monks who went to China and India also practiced various forms of reflexology in ancient India.

With the discovery of the neurological connection between the skin and internal organs and the fact that the entire nervous system responds to stimuli, Western reflexology came into being in the late 1700s. Zone therapy was expanded by Dr. William Fitzgerald through further research, and in the 1930s Eunice Ingham developed what is now known as "western reflexology" based on Dr. Fitzgerald's work. She noticed that tension or congestion in any area of the foot reflected tension or congestion in a corresponding area of the body. She used this information to build the hand and foot maps that are still used by most reflexologists today.

Nowadays, reflexology is practiced all around the world. Restoring the body's internal and external balance is its goal. Reflexology has been shown to help relieve a variety of medical problems, including headaches and painful feet. It also promotes the restoration of mental, physical, and spiritual balance.

ZEN STORY
The Giver Should Be Thankful

While Seietsu was the master of Engaku in Kamakura he required larger quarters, since those in which he was teaching were overcrowded. Umeza Seibei a merchant of Edo, decided to donate five hundred pieces of gold called ryo toward the construction of a more commodious school. This money he brought to the teacher. Seisetsu said: “All right. I will take it.” Umezu gave Seisetsu the sack of gold, but he was dissatisfied with the attitude of the teacher. One might live a whole year on three ryo, and the merchant had not even been thanked for five hundred. “In that sack are five hundred ryo,” hinted Umeza.

“You told me that before,” replied Seisetsu.

“Even if I am a wealthy merchant, five hundred ryo is a lot of money,” said Umezu.

“Do you want me to thank you for it?” asked Seisetsi.

“You ought to,” replied Umeza.

“Why should I?” inquired Seisetsu. “The giver should be thankful.”

Double Big Toe Pose (Ubhaya padangusthasana)

What is Double Big Toe Pose?

Double big toe pose, or ubhaya padangusthasana in Sanskrit, is a challenging seated posture. Similar to boat pose, here the yogi holds the big toes, lifting the legs even higher. The pose is excellent for strengthening the core.

Instructions

• Begin sitting with the knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

• Inhale and lift the legs, balancing on the sitz bones.

• Grasp the big toes with the first three fingers and extend the legs straight and upward, finding balance on the buttocks without rounding the spine.

• Breathe while holding the pose.

• Exhale and release.
