This is a good read, with an introduction to Ear Reflexology from Karen's Reflexology!
Thankyou for your knowledge Karen!
If you’ve been following my social media for a while you’ll know that Ear Work is often an important part of my therapeutic reflexology sessions, and a huge component of my teaching.
If you have just stumbled on my page, I thought I’d give it a little intro for those who may be new to it. 👂
Ear Reflexology or Auricular Therapy integrates Western and Chinese theories of health to facilitate balance and equilibrium in the body and person as a whole.
The use of the ear is based on the multiple connections which it has on the central nervous system. The shape of the body is projected onto the ear and every point of the body corresponds to a point on the ear. Visualize an inverted fetal shape on to the ear ... head on the ear lobe and buttocks at the apex of the ear ... and that's how the body is mapped on the ear in reflexology terms.
In a healthy person the link is not apparent but when there is an imbalance of the physiological equilibrium its related reflex point on the ear becomes painful. The reflexologist then stimulates the painful points of the ear by gentle massage. A further perk of working on the ears, is being able to apply an Ear Seed to a specific area to allow continued working by the client on an area of need in the body, via the ear.
It is amazing how much tension is built up in our ears and an ear reflexology treatment leaves a very obvious feeling of relief from this tension.
I very seldom give a session that works exclusively on the ears, but I do often work the ears at the end of a session when an area of specific need arises as manifested through the feet.
I love the 'power' of the ears. It's not always the answer, but when it is ... WOW!
