A
student said she had ‘been dealing with an incredible amount of
stress and some health issues,’
and
asked if I ‘would be able to have any insight about potential
problems from these pictures I made of where I’m getting the most
pain on my hands and feet.’ Her pictures showed that she marked the
big web on the right hand and the pancreas, adrenals and lumbar on
both feet.
Well,
this likely shows current problems rather than potential problems.
Those areas are famous with
regards
to stress. There is a great interaction among glands, organs,
hormones, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, etc., and general
health. The miraculous body knows how to coordinate all this, but
there is a limit. Too much stress, inadequate or unbalanced diet and
poor lifestyle choices take their toll; and the person feels it.

Stress-Free with Reflexology

When
starting reflexology, some reflexes show up right away and are often
related to more acute problems even if one also has chronic problems.
One can get rundown, feel tired and achy whether having chronic
problems or not. The reflexes that show up most obviously with
tenderness or pain, are the ones that need immediate attention
through reflexology. Reflexology speeds up the healing process by
sending messages to those interacting parts of the body, relaxing the
body, and thus releasing blockages for improved circulation.
Remedying acute situations first would be of great assistance toward
healing any chronic problem.
And
if you ignore the need to improve your health, then there would
potentially be chronic problems in the making(if there aren’t
already).
The
big webs of the hands hold many secrets. People refer to the feet in
regard to reflexology, often without mentioning the hands at all. The
feet are wonderful, but so are the hands. One theory holds that the
hands are more for acute and the feet more for chronic. If this is
so, it would always be good to do the hands first.
The
big web has many different reflexes including digestion, lymphatics,
and stomach. Plus, closer to the bones find the upper spine and some
special shoulder reflexes. We are created with these important reflex
areas especially easily accessible for reflexology. This is
ridiculously simple to do, so please help yourself to reflexology.
The corresponding reflex in the feet is the web between and the big
and second toes. This will likely be painful also when starting
reflexology. If the pain is more on the right than the left it may be
coordinating with the liver which is often the first organ affected
as one feels run down. The web on the left might be coordinating with
the heart in addition to digestion, etc.
In
the student’s picture of the foot the adrenal, pancreas and lumbar
reflex areas marked are areas that are more tender right away in the
beginning to start the process. These are typical first areas to need
reflexology. They coordinate with energy, blood sugar level and lower
back. So many people would identify with these common problems. They
could relate to acute problems that will be helped immediately with
the first introduction of reflexology. It depends on the individual
situation. No two cases are identical, but these similarities are
common.
So
work on these reflexes intermittently, feel better, and then go a
little deeper to check out which reflexes need help next.
