The Reflexology Zeitgeist

I appreciate your answer and yours makes the most sense. Others are contradicting. Thank you for your answer. I may try the hot stones and a light touch. I had a deep massage that left me sore the next day. It's what I asked for but I learned that do...

Generally you want slow and intentional. Depth isn't as important as speed i have found. Work with the nervous system rather than try to bully the body.

Just ask for a relaxation massage or Swedish massage. Good news, relaxation massage has the most proven benefits.

I'm under a lot of stress and anxiety. Looking to get a massage to help me relax just not what kind. I got a therapeutic massage once and when asked about how much pressure I said the more the better. I learned I was wrong, my fault. Wondering if a h...

Thabk you for the suggestions- I really appreciate it!

This is such an aligned message. I am currently am experiencing an ankle injury from unknown origins - but I have been experiencing swelling and pain going on at least 5 weeks now. Imagining came back clear, so I do believe there is some energetics b...

That’s beautiful—proof that movement isn’t just exercise, it’s release. You didn’t just tap dance—you rewired your nervous system. Fear melted because your feet finally had permission to be heard. From survival mode to expression mode. Now you’ve got...

I grew up walking on eggshells… tiptoeing around my house so as not to be noticed and get in trouble. Then as an adult living on my own, I started tap dance classes. All the feelings of “embarrassment” and fear held in my feet slowly melted away.

Sounds like somebody took a swim in the GOATA pool at some point, lol. (Based on the spiral comment) Re-patterning my movement mechanics, starting with my feet, has been integral in my process. I lived in toe spacers, stopped wearing shoes that weren...

The body stores trauma. Even if you don’t think you are bothered by trauma, it’s still there. I suffered a traumatic injury to my face when I was 14, and though I never felt bothered by it at the time, if I have a sudden or unexpected blow to the fac...

I'd say yes, absolutely, but also look into meditation/mindfulness.

Reflexology helps with internal issues. Headaches, toothaches, digestive issues, anxiety, sinus issues

I actually think, your anxiety is producing your heart palpitations and the palpitations in itself is causing a feedback response which in turn brings on your anxiety, try reflexology, to put it simply, smile often, rest when necessary and always mak...

Yes! Here are some major benefits of walking barefoot for the health. Improves the blood circulation. Helps you to get connected with the nature. Strengthens and stretches the muscles in your feet. Helps in decreasing the emotional upset and anxiety....

Reflexology may not be a scientifically proven medical treatment for disease, but studies suggest it's a helpful complementary treatment, especially for stress and anxiety

Divine Grace is the back end key for all healing…. Homeopathy, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Bach Flowers, Aromatherapy, Reflexology or any thing else….may work or nothing may work…. Unless one suffers the fruits of one’s karma, healing won’t occur…that is...

Swedish, reflexology, Reiki or cranial sacral… Swedish is with clothes off but is very gentle and if your therapist is reputable you will be properly draped the whole time. The others are all done while fully clothed minus shoes usually so may be bet...

Of course it does. You;re a good human. I should advertise for trades, since I cnt afford it. But there's the predatory men aspect too. Right now my back would love it. I should go for a walk at least.

Jesus that’s in sane. I make sure to tip $20-$25 every time I go hoping that helps the therapist out.

$65 for 1 hour. I’m in California. You make me feel better, I thought $65 was a lot.

I agree I would get it 3 times a week if it was covered or maybe twice. At my peak rate I was going twice a week almost but that drains my bank account quickly.

Yes! While I’m going through the initial stages of my massage I can feel an anticipation of a release or sigh like you say. It’s almost like a sneeze and I just wait and wait and wait and I can feel it about to release “no that’s not it not yet almos...

The solar plexus point, located in the center of the foot, is associated with relieving anxiety and promoting emotional stability. For heart health, the heart center point is found just below the ball of the left foot, and massaging it can help ease ...

I experience chronic anxiety daily and I am in desperate need of advice on where I can push or massage when prescribed medication isn't working. Any advise or guidance is gratefully appreciated!
