Self-help is as close as your own two
hands (let your fingers do the walking). Yes, it is effective when you do
it on your own feet. And don't forget on your hands
also.
Receiving Reflexology is great, and can be
soothing and relaxing. Even a simple foot rub from a friend
helps. Professional know-how can provide in-depth specifics and
technique. However, we often don't have availability or finances to
secure such help. Self-help is available and free. It can be
especially effective because you receive immediate feedback from your own
sensations while you work on your own hands and feet. You can feel
exactly which area and what angle needs more emphasis. Then the
simple rule that wherever you feel it more, you need it more, personalizes the
session to your specific needs.
When I began studying Reflexology I went to a
recommended Reflexologist to receive sessions. She charted my areas that
she could feel needed more help, but she missed reflex areas which I felt were
important from my own sensations' feedback. Then, over years of my own
successful self-help, I found self-help Reflexology to be not only effective,
but amazingly so. Because Reflexology is amazing in itself, and
never lets me down.
Doing the Reflexology on yourself, you can work
at it more frequently, daily or even several times a day. You can choose
when to be more or less thorough. You can use tools if your hands are not
strong enough. Also, you are in complete control of the degree of pressure,
so as not to overdo it, and not stress yourself.
Help from Reflexology contributes to
awareness of the need for other lifestyle improvements; so don’t rely solely on
Reflexology, but also use other wholesome choices.
Try Reflexology and see!
