Easy Does It: Reflexology The Inner Unsettled Experience as a Subtle Art The old phrase “no pain, no in an Uncertain Time gain” doesn’t apply to the subtle health briefs
There are real problems out there in our world, but we can’t solve them when we walk around with worries and anxiety in our mind. The inner discomfort and feelings of uncertainty are often more of a problem than the problem itself. We cannot find solutions when all we see is the fearful unknown in our mind. Emotions and worries cloud our mind and even though we may think of ways to calm ourselves, these feelings keep popping up and we continue to circle around with worries, fears, anxious jitters or pain in the body. Negative, worrisome feelings cause the body to contract and go into the fight-or-flight mode. Neither one will be guided by a clear mind. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a simple and relatively quick way to reduce or eliminate the negative worrisome feelings or discomfort. The mind clears up so it can focus on what the real problem is—if there is a problem left to tackle. Bringing a deep sense of relaxation through hypnosis helps the whole process, and our inner wisdom can bring solutions that we had not thought of before. EFT can lead clients to sleep better and longer, and bring some peace to the mind.

aspect of the body. Many people feel that reflexology has to include very deep pressure to be valuable. Consequently, those who could benefit from the subtlety of reflexology might shy away due to the fear of pain. An alternative is a lighter and more subtle approach that offers a rich opportunity for internal body awareness. The older we get, the more we tend to limit our body sense to what hurts and miss the many possibilities of experiencing the vastness and mystery of our personal inner terrain. The gentle articulations of the ankles and toes help the practitioner assess tension and holding patterns while freeing the joint space, reducing pain and allowing more movement potential. Reflexology, working subtly through the nervous system, is deeply relaxing, thereby inducing a slower respiratory rhythm, a slower heart rate, less muscular tension and an increase in blood flow through the visceral and skeletal muscles—along with a more efficient use of available energy. When we are deeply relaxed and tension is released, there is a “waking up”, and an awakened body has many more possibilities, including increased natural movement, less pain and a smoother experience of moving through life.
