My reflexology class is really an exercise in mind/body living, an experience in getting to know yourself better, and becoming an effective healer who can tap into people's stories as reflected in their feet - the ultimate organ that reflects how we understand life. We study about the metaphysical aspects of daily living and how to read into them. We learn that the feet represent how we walk the path! In this class we also learn that energy preceeds matter, and your thoughts and perceptions dictate not only your health, but also your circumstances and actions. Here is what one of my students, J., has to write after taking the professional reflexology class:
"Learning about energy work in general has deepened my respect for the universe and all it has to offer us as human beings. I never believed in energy work until my material life was not living up to me expectations (approximately 2 years ago). I started slowly searching out alternative philosophies. i called them alternative because they were something completely different from how I grew up and what I considered real or reality based. I have come to understand that they are not alternative at all. They are just different from how I was raised. What I discovered was that they ARE the reality and what I used to believe as reality was only a facade.
Learning about reflexology has helped me to integrate the physical level with the spiritual level. I have come to realize that all healing comes from within with help from the universal energy. I am more compassionate, more empathic, and more tolerant of others. I am able to express myself, but also allow others equal times for their opinions. I am learning not to be so self absorbed in my own opinions. I am learning to be more open to other viewpoints.I have just recently gotten to a point in my self-development to let others follow their path without interference. I am learning to trust the energy around me and stop trying to direct it to a specific goal that I think needs to be acquired at this time. Most of those goals are short sighted and narrow in focus. I'm learning to become a vessel, a vehicle for which the energy is ti flow through. I'm learning to trust on a grand scale.
This class has affected my life both personally and as a healer. Personally, I have been healing and releasing toxins through my feet during this entire semester. I began with releasing toxins from acute conditions in my life, but now have reached some deeper levels. I am now reaching some old chronic issues and I believe I will purge those toxins and begin to live a healthier life. I believe that without the reflexology treatments, it would have taken me longer to reach these old issues and address them. For this I am thankful. As a healer, I have learned through my own experiences how dramatic a session can be which gives me a greater degree of empathy for the client who comes to me. I am still trying to assimilate all the material and information available on this subject.
Getting my intentionality focused and trusting the universe was my biggest accomplishment this semester. The class definitely helped me in this process and for that I thank you.
Sincerely,
J.
