Reflexology
How Does Reflexology Work?
Reflexology, an ancient art practiced by all cultures, is a science based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands, which correspond to all glands, organs, parts and systems of the body. The physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to these reflex areas results in the reduction of stress, which promotes physiological changes in the body.
Each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings, 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. This type of drugless therapy creates a physiological change in the body by naturally improving your circulation, which reduces your body tension and enhances relaxation. It aids in the elimination of body waste and restoring the body functions to better health.
Is Reflexology Different From Massage Therapy?
Some people confuse reflexology with massage, but they are two different modalities-each with its own strengths. Both, like many other therapies, such as chiropractic, osteopathy, and other somatic practices, involve the use of the hands to apply their techniques. The aim with both reflexology and massage is to enhance the well being of the client.

Reiki
How does Reiki work?
Reiki is different for everyone. It is experienced by hands-on or distant healing. Hands are placed on a fully clothed person in various positions to enable the energy to flow. Afterwards the person usually feels very relaxed and full of energy. Sometimes the effects can be delayed by several days. Most people feel it as heat or a tingling sensation, but the experience is different for every person. Reiki is something you feel -- something you have to experience.
What Exactly Is "Reiki"?
Reiki is an ancient art of healing your soul and body with intuitive energy. The word "Reiki" means "Universal Life Force Energy". The Reiki therapist works with the energy, allowing it to flow into areas of the body that are in need. Treatments are not just for the ill or injured, Reiki can help to maintain and enhance health. When Reiki is applied it brings about deep relaxation and a sense of well-being, so it can be effectively used for stress relief and to allow the body to help heal itself. Reiki is actually capable of assisting to cure illness and problems including cancer, diseases and permanent life troubles such as career or relationship blockages.

Where is The Energy Coming From?
Reiki energy comes from a higher source. When a Reiki practitioner treats someone, it is not the practitioner's energy that is passed on, they are merely channels for the energy and are not drained in giving a treatment. Actually, the practitioner receives a treatment while giving one. Reiki energy works on every plane and level, healing the patient as the whole, not any particular illness or a life trouble. And although a healer usually focuses energy on specific illnesses or situations, it is a whole body and soul experience.
Reiki energy is alive. It works with its own wisdom which is nothing more then love and compassion. A healer cannot force a patient to receive Reiki energy, and the patient must be open and receptive to receive the best results. Reiki, as a spiritual journey, works on the process of releasing us from attachments, it doesn't force us to reach any higher truth, just helps us to look at our lives from a different perspective, possibly shedding light on other paths and directions forward.
