Calming and Relaxing Hand Reflexology #StayHome #WithMe

hi I'm David wait and under principle of Jubilee College we train practitioner reflexologists but in this strange time we're covert 19 is keeping everybody at home I thought I would put a video out so that anybody that likes the idea of being able to de-stress to calm themselves can be taught through this video and nice easy to learn relaxing hand reflexology treatment because reflexology isn't just about working on the feet it's also about working on the hands so if you would like to join with me I'm gonna take you through some lovely simple techniques to calm you and if you have got a partner with you family with you then these techniques are just wonderful for working on each so the first reflex that we're going to work is the solar plexus if you can see this little line just here this little line just here if I were to turn my handle you can see a line that runs along here and that is the diaphragm line and between these two fingers just here along this line there is a little spot just here and that is called our Solar plexis Solar plexis is where we feel all our stresses and strains and so what we're going to do is we're just going to rub this with our thumb little circles you may feel that it is a little bit tender a little bit more tender than if you were to say just be working here and if it is that's good just rub that tenderness away [Music] and it's supposed to be lovely and soothing and calming if you do feel some tenderness push into the tenderness gently so that you can feel it but so that it is not what I would call a pain it once do you want to be making reactions in reflexology but you don't want to be causing yourself pain now the next thing that we're going to do and we would do this by the way on both hands so I'm just going to do it [Music] [Music] all the while that you can feel something a little bit more than what you just expect if you had just pushed your thumb on to this spot keep rubbing it and that sensation will adil why the next thing that we're going to do is we're going to work something called the diaphragm the diaphragm is this line the whole line and this is the muscle of respiration and when you get stressed you don't breathe and so we're going to work this diaphragm now so with my II you can probably see why you got the start if I just crease my hand here and you can see that the line of the crease and we're just going to be following mainly these crease lines as guidelines so I'm going to start just underneath wonder finger here and I'm going to pretend that my thumb is like a caterpillar there's literally just caterpillar walking along the diaphragm line now then you'll be able to feel as you walk along this diaphragm line the bones of your hand you'll be able to feel sort of little circles here a little sort of not nobly circle here and another nobly circle here if you are pushing up in on two thou nominee circle then you're doing it just right now what I'm doing now it's not just the thumb walk but I'm doing a circle pushing up against that model a bit we have a gun a little bit circles pushing against the novel events moving on a little bit more circling on to the nominee bit and I'm sort of still on this line underneath where those circling me man and again if you were to feel an area that feels tender slightly bruised maybe then stay on that area until that bruise enos feeling has gone of course don't rush this last thing you want me to is going told me this is mostest [Music] Easter's [Music] now if you want to if you feel it's the right thing then I must admit I'm enjoying doing this so much to herself I am I'm gonna do this do the line again there are no rules you don't have to work this so many times you don't have to go a certain speed and in fact you don't have to even do it in the same order that I am teaching that's in this video if you've got a part of your hand that actually is so are you thinking why on earth is my hand so I don't know what my hand saw it might be there is the reflex of one of the body organs that's actually telling you something until you understand how the reflexology at works which is these reflexes that we have just here and of course you wouldn't know what it was that was coming on now the next thing that we're going to do is we're going to we've done the solar plexus we've done the diaphragm so it seems logical that the next thing we're going to do is the loans that's this pink now covered 19th course as we all are aware is a disease that affects the lungs so this is going to be really really good if you had a kid then we wanted to be able Lon's it has improved conditions possible so basically overridden we make that crease again in my hand you can see this creased line that's here that I want you to imagine it then joins up with this crease just and obviously sort of doesn't apply just at this point all of this area here doesn't matter how you if your thumb is you haven't been used to doing reflexology if your thumb is getting sore it doesn't matter if you then want to maybe use a knuckle that's absolutely fine to use a knuckle I'm just putting my hand on its side a little bit just so that you can see where I'm working [Music] and of course knuckles can get into places far easier and some fingers the thing that you don't want to do mr. strain then when you imagine injuring tendons or joints or anything like that but in reflexology and when are knuckling can you see how I've got my fingers all stacked on top of each other so that by knuckle in with this finger I'm not putting all the stress on just one not just here it's being supported by all of these other so we'll just do this on the other hand [Music] so I've now actually shown you the three different sort of techniques you're going to be using [Music] the next reflects Amanda shine to be the heart maybe thinking well in reflexology we believe that the heart isn't just the physical it is emotion and you were to say there is a matter of the heart so this pink circle just here this pink circle just here it matches up with the fleshy part underneath the thumb just hear me so I'm going to like it going one way going across if you can't reach across then there's nothing to stop you from reaching down like this whatever is the easiest way for you then I hope you're all joining in with me like this this is not a video to just watch I hope you're actually doing this with me oh oh now that's interesting just found one of those bruised feelings and feels lovely so I'm just giving it a little bit of a rub just and if you find a bruise feeling or any sort of area that feels a little bit different just stop on it give it a little bit of a circle like I'm just selling this Harry we're gonna swap hands yeah there it is again on this one okay now the last reflux I'm going to be showing you is a reflux called the spleen it lies just underneath the diaphragm line in line with the little finger and the spleen is in charge of our immune system so just showing it on the hand itself here so in line with my little finger underneath the diaphragm line so just here this is our spleen reflex if you become ill your spleen is part of the body that will fight off infection the major organ of the immune system and so being as we have this virus at the moment I would encourage you all to be working on your spleen and for this one I am using my knuckle and I'm giving a nice kind of sweep now something that you can do as well if you would win if you wish to to make this an even more gorgeous treatment you can just rub a little bit of body lotion hand cream oil doesn't matter what it is onto your hands and then what you're doing will create this lovely slide now that can be for the whole treatment or it can be for just any parts where your fingers same maybe just getting a bit sticky on the skin so I hope you found that little video helpful I hope you find it nice and relaxing I do hope that you enjoy doing and reflexology on yourself and on those that litter you are living with at the moment and it just becomes something that you're able to make part of your daily routine if there's other videos that you would like me to post self-help videos with reflexology if you have aches and pains or any particular places then do let me know put comment on the the bottom of the you off the YouTube page and I'll upload videos accordingly you [Music]
