Healing crisis

[luv buggie]

I only started my Reflexology training in April and am still doing my practice feet and wont start my case studies till next month.
I have no shortages of willing feet ( i am booked soild for the next 3 weeks)
My problem is healing crisis!, I am getting many people to have 1 treatment but because they are feeling unwell the next day , thay dont want to have it done again, despite the fact that I have explained that this can happen and its just the body healing and getting rid of things that shouldnt be there.
I am feeling really down in the dumps this week, cos I want to make people feel better, insted im making them feel rotten and they dont want to come back again , is this a normal reaction, what can I do? Im feeling rather useless at the moment

Are they heeding your aftercare? Are they taking it easy after treatment, if they get any aftereffects are they drinking their water? fIf they don't they will cause themselves to feel unwell, you are sparking healing, they are not looking after themselves, that part is their responsibility.

Make a short aftercare leaflet outlining what they should do and go through it with them, outlining and writing down any extra bits of advice you have offered.

Also check your pressure, work lightly in the first instance as you need to gauge how they respond to treatment.

Don't b disheartened you're learning..

Hello,
Oh dear...dont give up!!! Who are your case studies? close friends, family?
What sort of reactions are they getting? Surly not all are getting healing crisis after one treatment?
However alot of people do like quick fixes..... but if you can just stay positive and say its all normal and sometimes things have to get worst before getting better...then hopefully the clients wont be put off.
What support are you getting from you tutor?

Love and sunshine

Don't suppose there is a bug going around is there? don't feel disheartened, I find it helpful to be very upfront about possible after effects and also it might help to type up a little leaflet to hand them so that they are aware of the possibles after a treatment. Like Gussie says, drinking water to flush the toxins away can help and plus, like she also said, you are just helping your body's immune system to kick in and to initiate healing. Whatever they are experiencing would be coming out anyway at some point in the near future it is just that it is coming out a tad sooner, and as they are all having this response, then that suggests to me that there might be a bug around.

I was doing a second treatment on one of my ladies and her freind was there ( I dont like doing it with an audience) Her freind has a real phobia about having her feet touched. She was intrigued and asked loads or questions, she then decieded to have a go , ( she has been married 20 years and her husband has never been near her feet) Every single inch of her foot felt gritty and crunchy so loved the treatment she felt relaxed an energied and really proud that she had let some one touch her feet , all she kept saying was " my husband will never believe it" but the next day she felt sick , had headaches going to the tiolet lots she had to take the day off of work.
I did the usual advice dirnk lots of water avoid alcohol etc, I do warn people that one the "blockages" have been released that the body will self heal and they may feel unwell, but it was something that is brewing so it will just be got out the system sooner rather than later.

Now you're speaking the lingo.

Go in with the intention that you will bring about gentle healing rather than thinking about a violent healing crisis and explain simply to your clients that if they experience any adverse symptoms they should increase their fluid intake as this will help to ease these effects. Underplay the negatives and remember to add the positives in at the end, feelings of wellbeing, being energised, feeling positive, healthier.. see how that is.

Keep things going, you're starting to sound like a real reflexoliogist now.

I agree with Justine.

We were taught to call it a healing response. This puts in onto a positive footing even if it does have the same end result of the client feeling under the weather.

It is difficult when you are still learning, but just remember that any negative vibes from you will be picked up by your client. So as Justine says, be positive and enjoy giving the treatments.

Best wishes

Hi Trinabeanbag

From reading your post I am curious at to where you are with healing crisis within yourself? What do you think about it? How do you handle it?

I strongly suspect these healing crises are a reflection of how you feel about it.

Healing crisis or response is nothing more than an indication you are in resistance somewhere. You are going through a growth period triggered by the treatment and somewhere you are holding on.

It is uncomfortable but not bad, we are just wired to associate comfort with good and discomfort with bad.

In love, light and abundance x x x

That is an interesting point, I do have many issues giong on at present and had my own healing crisis ealier this year when i did my reiki 1,
I do my own protection when I treat which apart from protecting myself will also provide protection to my client from any negativity I might have floating around .
Is that what you mean my own issues may be causing these reations in people?
