We talk about the power of touch and yes there is a huge amount of 'power' held in the touch between two people.
But 'feeling' when you 'touch' is the key👌🏻
Having the ability/intuition to really feel when you are a reflexologist (or anyone who works with people hands on) is truly important. Some would say it's a gift.
Through feeling you can listen to the body. Through trust and compassion you can mindfully pay attention to sensations like tension or discomfort, which are messages from the body.
It requires patience to observe these feelings without judgment and involves integrating physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects for overall wellbeing.
I use manual techniques like thumb walking and finger pressure to apply precise pressure to specific reflex points, as wellas simply holding the feet, all of which allow me to feel for areas of tenderness or sensitivity, such as grittiness (often indicating an imbalance) or emotional tension/imbalances.
I offer a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which helps clients fall into a receptive state allowing me to tune into their feedback. This feedback that I feel really helps guide the treatment and focus on their specific needs to promote holistic healing.
(Note: a holistic approach to healing addresses the whole person...physical, emotional, mental, and soulful, rather than focusing on one isolated part)
