Our guest is Holistic Practitioner, Reflexology Therapist, Master Herbalist, Reiki Master, Master Gardener and Intuitive, Jeannie Francis. Jeannie has been on the program before talking about natural remedies for the cold and flu season, She was also on another time talking about how to develop your intuition and has now become a regular on Far Out Radio, one of our holistic living experts. Since we live during very stressful times Jeannie for this program will talk with us about an ancient stress reducing modality known as reflexology.
In the early seventies Jeannie got certified as a foot reflexology therapist at the well known International Reflexology School in Philadelphia and after practicing for so many years, she is now a reflexology instructor for the Gentle Healing Massage School in Cranbury NJ.
Here is a description of foot reflexology in Jeannie's own words:
" Reflexology is a type of therapy that involves the massaging of mainly the feet to treat and heal an individual's entire body. It is said to be a gentle type of therapy, used to restore the body's natural balance as well as to help maintain its equilibrium. Sometimes, reflexology involves the hands and ears as well as the feet. In most cases, however, only the feet are involved. Reflexology is a therapeutic treatment for a full range of conditions back pain, sports injuries, migraines, arthritis, digestive imbalances, hormone imbalances, pregnancy, labor and delivery, sleep disorders and a full range of stress-related conditions.
People of all ages may benefit from reflexology treatment. While some individuals may choose to enjoy the therapy on an occasional basis, many choose to receive such treatments regularly. Many individuals who seek regular treatments believe doing so helps them to maintain their health and well-being. "
Here is a graphic that shows how certain areas of the bottom of the feet are "connected" to different parts of the body:
During this show we talk to Jeannie about the history of this ancient healing art of refexology therapy, how it works and the many stress reducing and body energy balancing benefits.
