How does knowing more about who we are help us as Reflexologists? The body is connected to the whole system of ourselves – the Mental, the Social, and the Physical sides of ourselves. We cannot separate who we are from what we do, how we think and go about doing things in our lives and how things can affect us. The best way to stay healthy and balanced is to be awake, alert, and aware of what is going on both inside our self as well as how well we are adapting to the outside world of events.
As I grew in my relationship with Reflexology and with the Reflexology Association of Canada, I have taught all the courses from foot reflexology to hands, ears, and Teachers Training for all 3 modalities. I was lucky enough to have some students take all 3 modalities from me and I asked them: what is the difference for you in receiving Reflexology of the Ears, Hands, and Feet? The answers were amazing to me and these answers put it all together as a complete wholistic healing system.
What my students expressed to me was exactly as the Yoga System suggested. Balancing the system within requires that we calm the mind (Mental), cool the emotions (Social), and stimulate the body (Physical). When working the ears, students told me that they felt calmer and more at peace (Mental). When working the hands, students told me that they felt loved and that their upsets and frustrations disappeared and their emotions where in fact, cooled (Social). And working the feet, students said that they felt energized and stimulated (Physical).
Viola! What a great discovery and how closely it all fit together with Yoga, Reflexology and Personality preferences understanding. Let’s do some gentle work together starting with the ears to assist in calming the Mental Function
