All About Reflexology
WHAT IS FOOT/HAND REFLEXOLOGY?
Foot/Hand Reflexology is the holistic approach to wholeness through
the feet/hand. With the use of energy and manipulation of the foot
reflexes, the client assisted by the therapist, goes into a state
of relaxation, allowing the Spirit, Mind and Body to heal.
HISTORY
The practice of reflexology is based on a collection of theories
and practices dating back thousands of years.The Incas of South
America have been in tune with the earth and the universal energies
for thousands of years and believe that your feet tell the stories
of your life exposing all truths.
Another widely accepted theory is that the knowledge
was passed to Native Americans by the Incas. The use of reflex pressure
to heal has been practiced by Native Americans for generations.
North Carolina's Cherokee have known the importance of feet in maintaining
physical, mental and spiritual balance passing on this tradition
for centuries.
Another widely held belief is that reflex therapy
originated in China about 5,000 years ago, although there is no
concrete evidence of it. However, the Egyptian and Babylonian cultures
were developed before Chinese culture and a valuable piece of evidence
was discovered in Egypt. A pictograph, dated around 2500-2330 BC,
depicting the practice of both foot and hand reflexology, discovered
in the tomb of an influential Egyptian physician, Ankmahor.
The knowledge of reflexology might have become
non-existent if not for the inquiring medical minds of the late
19th and early 20th centuries. Great people like Eunice Ingham who
in the 1930's to the 1960s researched and promoted reflexology as
we know it today. Today there are over 200 schools of Reflexology
in North America with its many approaches and disciplines.
Mind Body Spirit Canada School has researched
to find the most comprehensive approach, combining information from
3 schools therefore offering the student and practitioner an in-depth
and complete training in Reflexology.
