Stress, depression, and illness
can cause tension throughout the body.
Chronic tension in the body will inevitably cause a blockage of your
natural energy flow within the body. This can result in a state of physical and
mental imbalance. This imbalance can
cause you to have sleep disorders.
Reflexology can help! Reflexology
balances out the body by allowing energy to flow more smoothly and encourages
relaxation throughout the entire body. Deep relaxation helps prepare the mind
and body for sleep. Once your body is in a more relaxed state, you will
experience a deeper level of sleep! If you are going to try
reflexology to help improve your sleep, it’s best to plan your therapy about an
hour to two hours before your scheduled bedtime. Reflexology naturally relaxes your body and
mind to the alpha state of relaxation. (See previous blog regarding the alpha
state of relaxation.) Mentally and physically you will already be halfway to
falling asleep after a reflexology session.
If you can stay in that relaxed state before your bedtime, falling
asleep will already be that much easier. A full reflexology session is the best avenue if you are going
to try reflexology. However, if you don’t
have the time to go for a session with a certified therapist, you can most certainly
give yourself reflexology! Here are some
areas to work right before bedtime:  1.
Brain/Head reflexes 2.
Chest/lung/respiratory reflexes 3.
Solar plexus reflexes (Star) 4.
Adrenal reflexes 5.
Sciatic nerve reflexes For additional sleep preparation, try some natural lavender essential
oil or lotion. Lavender has a naturally
calming essence and is absorbed easily through the feet. This is a great technique for anyone who
has trouble sleeping, or a sleep disorder. Reflexology allows your body to relax and
prepare for sleep. With optimum
relaxation, your body has a better chance of repairing itself and awaking more
refreshed. Thank you for visiting Reflexology by
Katie and letting me share the benefits of reflexology with you! I hope
you enjoyed it! It is my goal that everyone who has a reflexology treatment
should leave physically and mentally relaxed and refreshed. |
