WHAT IS TAKING PLACE DURING
AND AFTER A SESSION
When you are experiencing a session with your reflexologist, you
are in a parasympathetic state which means your body is in the rest
and repair mode. Several things are taking place during this state.
One is the physical, the soothing sense of touch. The next level
is the “etheric” level where energy is passed invisibly
from the hands of the reflexologist to your feet and hands. This
invisible exchange helps the body heal itself and balance but your
body does all the work. Scientific research tells us that under
laboratory conditions, some reflex points cause the circulation
to improve, the blood becomes enriched and breathing is improved
while oxygen levels rise. Reflexology also releases endorphins
which are released from the brain and are 1000 times more powerful
than morphine. These endorphins have a calming effect on the body
and make people feel relaxed and happy. Your reflexologist is also
gaining the benefit of a workout while giving a session.
While giving a reflexology massage, you receive the benefit of
relaxation and improved health since your body is trying to
re-balance itself. You are in a parasympathetic state – a healing
state – where your body is eliminating toxins, getting rid of free
radicals and recovering energy. Rebalancing the energy gives you
better health. Often, clients will fall asleep during a massage
which will again bring benefits of relaxation and healing.
Combining hypnosis with reflexology massage can be all the
more calming since you are calming your mind as well as your body.
With Progressive Relaxation exercises you rest your body and keep
your mind alert at all times. Your body is indeed asleep while your
mind is completely aware. You are in control so you can choose to
move or say something, however, you are so focused and clear that
you may just want to enjoy feeling wonderful, perhaps imagining
yourself at the beach, feeling the warm touch of the sun, cozy and
comforting with absolutely nothing to do but rest. After the massage
is completed we would work on your goal for the day with hypnosis.
Hypnosis works by suggestions which are placed in the
subconscious during a session to achieve a specific goal such as
pain management, weight loss, cessation of smoking and any other
addiction. Suggestions are taken into the mind and dropped in the
subconscious during sleep. After you awaken, the suggestions are
then implemented when needed while controlling physically the side
effects of withdrawal & cravings. When I quit smoking through
hypnosis I had no withdrawal symptoms and no coughing. I had been a
smoker for many years and I never smoked cigarettes again.
