Reflexology

My good friend recently taught a class on Reflexology.  It is a foot zone therapy class that I was so fortunate to attend.  It was over the course of 8 weeks and I loved it.  I learned so much and I have loved practicing it on my children.  Keaton lets me do it quite abit, but Andrew has a bad taste in his mouth with all the oils and foot therapy things I have been doing. I hope that he will come around. I think he is my one child who could benefit from it the most.
The body is an amazing organism.  Everything you need to know about your body can be dealt with through your feet.  There are certain points and pressure spots located throughout your feet that can trigger a particular organ or an entire system in general. It can tell the person what is going on in the body. With each set of pressure points and areas that we work on the foot, there are ticks that can be felt along the way.  When these ticks are felt that means that there is something going on with that certain area of the body.  For example, when children's immune systems are down and colds/flus are coming on, we can rub a certain area of the foot that will help the body recover 10x's faster and will help trigger the body's response to fight it faster.  Ear aches are a really good example too.  There is so much I could write about but I would just be overwhelming.  You can sense problems with dental work, sinuses, heart problems, siatic nerve and all other things.
 I was blown away by some of the things we did.  Our very last section we learned was about pregnancy.  Believe it or not there is a certain pressure point just under your right ankle where you can feel your babies heart beat.  So we put it to the test.  I was not the only pregnant lady in the class.  There were 5 in total and two of us were pregnant.  So after Amber taught us how to find it and where to press in, we could feel our babies heart beat.  It was amazing. I almost cried.  Carol, an older woman in the class, no mind you, we were all members minus this other pregnant gal, and they were so happy to have felt that along with us.
So tonight my good friend asked me if she could come over tomorrow for a foot zone therapy.  I told her to come on over so we could help put her in labor.  Wish us luck. She is to be induced on Friday and this will help her move right along even faster. I told her to be prepared that she might have this baby a day earlier and she said she was ready.
I feel like I have been given all these opportunities to learn and grow.  I am learning how not only to benefit myself but my family as well.  Now some of you may laugh at all of this and call it something made up, well I don't. I am a firm believer in the body's natural way of trying to heal itself.  Yes, I believe firmly in modern medicine but if I can avoid it at all costs, them I am game.  There is something about shoving pill after medication down a body that starts to annoy me.  The body can respond to a lot of other things as well trying to heal itself.  Most of the illnesses that come upon us are caused due to emotional response.  Most of the things that attack our body is because our body is being invaded by something that we bring onto ourselves, if that makes sense.  Some cases not so much but a lot of it is due to our emotional, physical, social and spiritual stability.
