What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a science that maps out the key energy zones of the whole body on the feet. By pressing these specific areas of the feet, every organ, gland, muscle and body part is affected. These techniques are unique to traditional reflexology and are different from the motions used in other types of massage.

In addition to traditional reflexology which relies on reflex points, modern reflexologists also consider the feet in and of themselves. The health of one's feet is a big concern; feet that are healthy and pain free are very important for one's overall well being and are an important consideration in reflexology.

What Reflexology Does

Reflexology allows the body to self-correct, cleanse itself, and purge itself of toxins. This is accomplished by applying a precise pressure upon specific reflex zones in the feet to achieve a highly specialized relaxation in the corresponding area of the body. This improves the nerve, blood, and lymphatic supply. By working on a certain area, the corresponding part of the body receives improved nerve, blood and lymphatic supply.

The purpose of nerves is to carry messages and instruct the body. When the nerves improve, the instruction also improves, and as a result the body itself improves as well. Every nerve in the body begins and ends in the hands and feet. By applying this specialized pressure on the foot, the outcome is improved instruction to each and every part of the body, resulting in a re-educating, a re-patterning, and a re-conditioning of the nerves and instruction through the reflex/neutral electrical system of the body.

The purpose of blood is to transport nutrition and oxygen to all parts of the body. It is in the hands and feet that blood transfers from arteries to veins to return back to the heart. This is the reason why the feet must be flexible and dexterous. Stress, which is responsible for 80% to 90% of ailments, can act like a tourniquet, wrapping around the body, squeezing so tightly that it causes an impediment of blood flow which results in an a deprivation of blood to other parts of the body.

Again, by using this specific, highly specialized relaxation technique, reflexology is able to relax a specific area of the body enough to improve the blood supply to that area. This will then allow improved transportation of nutrition, glucose and oxygen which that area of the body needs in order to function properly.

The purpose of the lymphatic system is to cleanse and purify the body and lubricate the muscles. A healthy system is a cleansed system; congestion is disease. The absence of balance in the body is disease. The lymphatic system cannot cleanse or purify very well if it is weak, sick or congested. The lymph flows in one direction only, toward the heart; also every lymphatic vessel begins and ends in the hands and feet. By using reflexology we are helping the body correct, strengthen, and reinforce itself.

Imagine a healthy body that has a strong and well-toned nerve, blood and lymphatic supply. Reflexology, which is not invasive but persuasive, can enable the body to obtain and maintain this healthy condition.

Jake's Ice Cream in Atlanta is now carrying Nicecream!

NICECREAM was created and is produced for Jake's by Dr. Leon Lashner. Leon, a chiropractor and naturopath, has an abiding passion for excellent food and for the healing arts. Three years ago, while experimenting with a new ice cream maker, Leon was also reading about the extraordinary health benefits of coconut. The idea was born!

Try a coconut-based, non-dairy, all organic, new kind of frozen dessert that is absolutely delicious. You won't believe how good Nicecream is until you try it! People consistently say it's the best non-dairy frozen dessert ever. Oh, and it's good for you--organic coconut oil has numerous health benefits (Google "health benefits of coconut" and you'll be amazed).

Cynthia Rose Young's Mandalas of Light prints and originals are used by Feng Shui Masters to create good chi in clients homes and offices.
They are offering a discount to help you create what you want in your life!

Cynthia is extending a special 25% discount on her sacred prints to readers of Where Wellness.
Her paintings and prints express cosmic concepts through the depiction of nature, sacred geometry and exquisite color combination.

Cynthia Young's spiritual art focuses on a central light, with designs based on a circle.The form of the central light in a circular shape has been used to represent divinity, bring healing and spiritual development in every culture from ages past. The light in the center of the circle calibrates and attunes the four brainwave levels through visual interaction along the optic nerve.

This is the art of stimulating the optic nerve of the eye, the only exposed nerve in the body, to stimulate the pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus to evoke a state of higher consciousness through the release of neuro-peptides in the bloodstream, so that an observer can simply glance at a painting to receive the benefits of the energy. A profound energy exchange occurs between the conscious viewer and the painting, spiraling out into the consciousness of the universe, thus bringing about a higher frequency or vibration. Our concept is to increase spiritual consciousness through the introduction of these sacred paintings and prints.
