Reflexology is a natural healing art that is based on the principal that there are reflexes in the hands and feet that relate to all the parts of the body. It is the activation of specific points on the hands and feet to promote the proper functioning of the body. The idea behind reflexology is that the hands and feet are like condensed maps of the rest of the body; the head, torso, organs, legs and arms are all directly connected to specific areas of the hands and feet.
Benefits of Reflexology:
- Relaxation
- Improves Circulation
- Helps to normalize a body condition
- Maintains Health
“For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to he body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single organ, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you,’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I have no need of you.’ If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
1 Corinthians 12:14-21, 26 R.S.V.
