Concentration, memory and Reflexology

Many clients present with personal problems they are having trouble sorting out. This can be because they are so stressed they cannot concentrate and cannot see the wood for the trees.



I have found that working on LV3 on the liver meridian as part of the reflexology treatment can bring great results. It relieves fatigue and poor concentration and encourages clarity of thought. I use this point for students working for exams when they have trouble focussing and also complain of generally having a poor memory. This is often because they have so much going through their mind at any one time that nothing 'sticks'.



It is also beneficial for people who are at a turning point in their lives. I have known clients make quite life changing decisions after reflexology treatments incorporating LV3.

LV3 is on the top of the foot in the channel between the big toe and the second toe where the first and second metatarsal bones meet. Hold the point gently on each foot at the same time for at least two minutes.



This point is also valuable for treating headaches, exhaustion and eye conditions.

Energy chakras and Reflexology

At the beginning of a reflexology treatment, I usually use the reflected reflexes on the feet for the chakras to balance the energy. The reflex for the base energy chakra is particularly useful. As well as the relationship with the relevant organs and emotions, the base energy chakra can also be a good indicator of general health. The ease of balance and the strength of the 'feeling' is the signal. A person who is ill often has no, or very little, energy at the reflex point. This will improve over time as the physical condition improves.

I have a client who is a finance director of a large group of companies. He is young for the position he holds and has great physical energy levels, managing a hugely responsible role, spending time with his young family and fitting in business travel and also family holidays. He makes me tired just listening to him! The base chakra, as you would imagine, is always very energetic. I touch the points and - wow - get blown away.

On one particular reflexology treatment, the energy was unusually very low. I didn't feel much at all to start with and it took half a minute or so to come thro. So he was human after all..........
At the end of the treatment, a little self-righteously, I suggested he slowed down for a while and maybe took a break.

'But I've just been on holiday', he said. 'I feel fine'. Lovely man though he is, there was just a shade of scepticism in his tone.

A week later, at his next treatment, he told me he had gone down with flu the next day, had been off work, had never felt so ill and was only just starting to feel better.

I have to confess, I did say 'I told you so'. The temptation was just too much.

The feet never lie.

Place the middle finger of each hand gently on the reflex point on the inside of each heel and hold for a while until the feeling is the same through each finger. It may feel like a 'fizzy' pulse which will become synchronised after a few seconds. It can be more comfortable to cross the hands over to hold the points.

Reiki & Reflexology

I often combine Reiki with Reflexology, particularly when the client is suffering from a specific, localised problem. The results can be very beneficial. I cut the reflexology treatment short by about 10 minutes, then give Reiki healing directly over the relevant area of the body. Clients are intrigued that they can feel different physical sensations although I am not actually touching them as I do most of my Reiki work in the aura.

I am often asked about 'healing' and find it useful to remember that 'healing' means to make whole and does not actually mean 'to cure'. I read this in John Cross' excellent book Healing with the Chakra Energy System. All his books can be found at http://www.johncrossclinics.com/

Remembering that healers are only the channel for the healing energy and do not do the healing themselves is very important, I believe. It is very hard not to feel excited and in part personally responsible when a client's situation dramatically improves and we all like definite validation of the theory, however strong our beliefs. But staying humble and still being amazed is important too.

I am currently using reflexology and Reiki with a client who is very ill. One of her many problems is a recurring uterine abscess. I saw her for the second time today and she told me that the abscess had broken the day after the first treatment and the pain was greatly relieved. Obviously this could have happened anyway, but we shall see if it recurs as usual or of there is a greater period of relief. http://www.reflexologymiltonkeynes.co.uk/
