ReflexEnergy Healing
What is Reflexology?
A natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands, face and ears, and their referral areas within zone related areas, which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body, has a beneficial effect on the organs and person's general health.
Although reflexology is not used to diagnose or cure health disorders, millions of people around the world use it to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, headaches, kidney function, PMS, sinusitis, etc…

Auricular (Ear) Reflexology
History:
Mythological beliefs about ears for thousands of years:
1. Big ears are a sign of stamina
2. They were traditionally decorated to symbolize status
Ancient China:
Oldest Chinese medical book is “Neijing” where there are references of treatments of different organs through the ears.
All systems of acupuncture began with the original Chinese medical text, The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, compiled in500 B.C. In this text, all six yang meridians were said to be directly connected to the auricle and the six yin meridians were indirectly connected to the ear by their corresponding yang meridian.
Theories on how it works:
- There are meridians that go close to the ear in the head
- Energy blockages – releases chemical reactions when blockages are broken up
- Stimulation of certain points release endorphins and relaxes the body
Where are the reflexology points and areas?
Maps of reflex points have been passed between practitioners across the globe. Understandably, there is not agreement among all reflexologists on all points; however, general agreement does exist on major reflex points. Some scientific documentation of linkages between the skin and internal organs also exists.
To represent how the body systems correspond to one another, reflexologists use reflexology "maps". Each foot represents a vertical half of the body:
- The left foot corresponds to the left side of the body and all organs, valves, etc. found there.
- The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body and all organs found there. For example, the liver is on the right side of the body, and therefore the corresponding reflex area is on the right foot.
