Do you want to develop supreme self-confidence?
How about trying some complementary therapy?
Rebalance and improve confidence with
Reflexology
How can reflexology improve
the health of your body, kick-start
your energy and boost your
self- confidence?
The technique comes to us from Native
American Indians via Dr
William H Fitzgerald, who applied hard pressure to the reflex
points on the feet as a
form of local anaesthetic before surgery in
the 1930s. Nowadays reflexology
is a refined form of natural
therapy.
Reflexologists admit their
method may be hard to believe, yet
some doctors and
surgeons recommend
reflexology, perhaps one of the most unusual
yet effective of all the alternative
therapies. In short, reflexologists believe every part of the
body is mapped out on the feet, and by
massaging the right reflex point on the
foot you can affect a bodily organ, tissue
or gland.
Reflexologists say the body is divided
into vertical energy zones from the base of the feet
right to the top of the head. Our feet (and hands) contain reflex points
which correspond to every
part of the body. The belief is that if vital
energy (chi or qi) is blocked, ill
health will result.
Pressing the reflex points regulates the flow of energy
and restores balance and
health. Your right foot maps
the right side of the body and the left
foot maps the left side.
When you look at both feet you
have a full outline of the human body; your big toe represents
your head, with reflex points for brain, nose
and throat, pineal, pituitary and
hypothalamus.
In the main part of the foot are points
for the major organs including lungs,
heart, liver and stomach, while your heel corresponds to
your pelvis....and so on. A skilled
reflexologist will find the
congested or troublesome reflex points by
feel - they have granular-like deposits in them.
The simple power of
touch in a reflexology session can be wonderfully
soothing; and reflexology is one of the
easiest and most pleasurable
ways of reducing stress and
anxiety.
Reflexology gives you a simple way of making stress
much more manageable. And regular treatments
let you take charge
of your stress, not be overwhelmed by it.
Needless to say, when you are more relaxed,
you are more confident, because your energy
is not being misdirected to fighting off the
effects of stress.
Reiki and self-confidence
Life force flows through us along pathways
called chakras and meridians and surrounds us in a field of energy
called our aura. This incredible life force is responsive to
our
thoughts and feelings and is
disrupted when we take on, either
unconsciously or consciously, negative
feelings and thoughts about ourselves.
These thoughts and feelings
link to the energy field and
disrupt the life force. Reiki heals by
changing the disruption to energy flow,
and rebalancing our energy fields with positive energy. It
raises the vibration level of the field around the physical body
and causes the negative
energy to fall away. Reiki works by allowing life
energy to flow through the
healer to the client. The most usual experience is a feeling
of peace and relaxation.
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki dissolves energy blocks
and rebalances the body, mind and spirit.
It improves energy and
reduces stress, while also relieving physical pain
and various symptoms of illness and
injury. It encourages healing
after injuries and surgery, but also complements
medicine and
complementary therapy. It is very clearly
and empowering tool to improve self-esteem
and self-confidence.
People
learn Reiki or have a
Reiki treatment for many different
reasons, including
to reduce
their stress levels, and to cope with life
changes. Reiki really has unlimited
potential, and can be used alongside
other complementary therapies and normal
medicine. Being very
effective for stress, anxiety and
depression, it can definitely
change your reaction to stress and life
events! There's a
general improvement with Reiki so that
people go from struggle and stress to living life
more easily. In particular, people have
found large improvements
with self-confidence and self-esteem with
Reiki.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy
is the topical application, often with
massage, of essential oils from
medicinal plants. These remedies can relax,
rejuvenate, restore and soothe body, mind
and spirit. Aromatherapy also helps to
stimulate the immune system, and is useful
for strengthening resistance and combating
infections. It relaxes muscular aches and
pains and encourages muscle relaxation.
Aromatherapy can reduce blood pressure,
lower stress levels and combat insomnia;
with its positive effects on other stress
related disorders, and its beneficial impact
on emotions such as anxiety, depression,
grief, and so on, it is one of the most
effective healing arts. When combined with
massage it affects the nervous system via
nerve endings in the skin, and will increase
the release of endorphins, which induce
relaxation and produce a sense of
well-being. This all reverses the negative
effects of stress by slowing heart rate and
respiration and reducing blood pressure.
Stronger massage
stimulates blood circulation and helps the
lymphatic system remove waste products.
Tense, knotted muscles are released;
mobility and flexibility are improved. Other
benefits include deep relaxation and a
reduction in the negative effects of stress.
This can have a massive impact on
self-confidence.
Thai massage
is a yoga, massage and acupressure performed
on floor mats with the patient fully
clothed. There is a deep sense of calm,
improved flexibility, renewed energy. By
contrast Swedish massage is
usually a whole body treatment an
invigorating and rejuvenating massage which
is suited to more physical ailments.
Transforming touch massage takes
relaxation to a new level. Transforming
touch is for everyone, being gentle yet
deep. |
