Reflexology - a podcast by Darla McCann - Energy Healer ✨

Do you ever massage your own hands when they ache? How about your own feet? We naturally resort to instinctive healing techniques, like your foot rub, hand rub, or even rubbing our own ears or scalp, which actually is what therapeutic reflexology is all about. And the subject of today's episode. I love this topic, because although you can go to a practitioner to have reflexology, you can also do this on yourself with effective results. It's simple and it just takes looking at a couple of diagrams. 

Before we jump into some of these techniques, let's discuss the modality itself. Reflexology is one of several holistic therapies used to control pain and reduce stress. Various forms of reflexology have been around for centuries. I find it interesting…that evidence indicates several cultures simultaneously, having artwork dating around 2330 BC. Egyptian hieroglyphics showed work on hands and feet, as well as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Grecian, and later Native American. In the early 1900s, Connecticut Nose and Throat Doctor William Fitzgerald became known as the father of modern reflexology. In 1989, the modality was formalized with the following definition: “reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas, which correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques results in stress reduction, causing a physiological change in the body. 

Overall, reflexology has a huge effect on energy flow, just as other meridian base therapies do. As I mentioned previously, I appreciate most about this particular modality that you can use it on yourself. It is one of the simplest ways to treat your own reflex zones on the feet, hands, and even on your ears. 

So, listen to the techniques, benefits, and overall ease of putting reflexology into your self-care practice.  Call in reflexology, call it into your life.  “Call IT in with Dar!”
