Reflexology In A Nutshell
Reflexology is a technique similar to acupressure, but it involves
manipulation of key points on the feet (although sometimes the hands or
limbs are also involved). Basically, the goal is to bring the body’s
energy flow into balance (homeostasis) by using the thumb or fingers to
stimulate particular spots on the soul of the foot. Reflexologists follow
mapped out areas on the foot that correspond to particular organs and
parts of the body. Stimulation of these regions of the foot eliminate
energy blocks and are said to reduce or eliminate pain or disease in these
corresponding areas of the body. Although reflexology is more commonly
used for prevention rather than curing ailments, many claim it helps to
relieve a wide variety of conditions including migraines, hypertension,
insomnia, sinus problems, chronic pain, anxiety, digestion problems and
more. Most will tell you it is also an ideal method for relaxation.

Healing Benefits Of A Massage Alternative Put To The Test...
Results Surprisingly Positive!
by Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor

modalities, I’m unexpectedly hooked. All my previous misconceptions have
been shamefully proven wrong, and I now understand why people are using
their lunch hours to relax and rebalance with an energy bodywork session.

Life Energy and Healing:
"The Nerve, Meridian
and Chakra Systems and the CSF Connection"
by Dr. Don Glassey
Life energy, in the form of cerebrospinal
fluid, flows within, through and around the body over three inter-related
and interconnected energy systems that interface with each other. The
three energy systems are, from a gross to a subtler and more refined
level, the nervous, the meridian, and the chakra systems.
In the nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) flows within and around the brain and spinal cord (central nervous
system) within a three layered "saran wrap" like covering called
the meninges. It has been suggested that CSF also flows in the periphery
of the body within the neuroglial connective tissue transportation system
and communication network. Therefore, rather than ending at a cavity-like
cul-de-sac at the place where the peripheral nerves exit the spinal cord (intervertebral
foramen), the CSF would then circulate throughout the entire body.
