other techniques used with reflexology

[mommy811]

In my class last night we were shown the Chakra points on the feet and parafin wax treatment. Do any of you use any of these after a treatment?

What is paraffin wax treatment?

I treat the chakras during a treatment, not after, though I do use colour therapy and/or reiki at the end.

Hiya

No we've not been shown anything like this, and I was under the impression that there's only one chakra on the sole of the foot anyway.

We do a post-treatment massage on the foot and lower leg and that's about it.

Hi,

The reflexes relating to the seven major chakras are on the spine area of the feet from the top of the big toe (Crown) to the sacrum (root). When you work the spine reflexes you will also be treating the chakras as these lie along the spine reflex. Does that make sense? During any treatment I note any imbalances of the chakras and pay special attention to the related organs. This was included in our course (AOR accredited).

its a paraffin wax that is heated up then painted onto the clients feet, the foot is then wrapped in a sort of plastic bag then wrapped in a towel for about 5 mins. Peels off like a glove. Very relaxing and very good for arthritis. Also excellent for hard skin. Clients enjoy it very much.

I will be doing a full reflexology session and then concentrating on balancing the chakras at the end.

Hello,
Very interesting about the chakras..i wonder if someone could give more details?
ie crown = big toe
Third eye =
Throat =
Heart =
Sacral =
Base =
Also could you use your pendulum to see which chakras are out?
and how would this differ to using your pendulum on the body?

Ok here is what my tutor taught me about chakra on the feet....its all about mirror image..

base chakra.....middle finger around the uterus/prostate, other middle finger around the overies/testes......circular movement 3 x clockwise then 3 x anti clock wise....take the pressure off, then reapply pressure holding for 20 - 30 secs.......picture a red flower with 4 petals opening

Sacral chakra...just move middle fingers a bit forward to just below the ankle bones...same technique, just imagine a orange flower with 6 petals opening.

solar plexus.....thumb on solar plexus, middle finger on same point only on the top of the foot (mirror image) same movements.. this flower is yellow.

Heart chakra...thumb in the middle of the ball of the foot, middle finger on the top of foot (mirror image) same technique...this flower is green.

Throat chakra...thumb mirror image on the web of the big/second toe, same clockwise/anti clockwise technique....this flower is blue.

Brow chakra.....around the middle of the big toe.and the mirror image ..again circular movements this flower is indigo.

Crown chakra....circular movement of top of big toe whilst doing circular movements on the bottom of the heel....imagine a gold thread holding all the other chakra points together.


well this is how i was taught it, any comments on the subject will be well received.

ps. Wwhen using reflexology for chakra stimulation, it is important to remember that the points are only for enhancing flow rather than for healing any particular health conditions.

Joberg,

That sounds really interesting and I can understand it but to be honest have never heard of it. Can I ask you, do you do this at the beginning or end of your usual reflex treatment.

Love & blessings,

Rachel

Hello Jo berg,
Thankyou for all the infomation...it sounds really nice! I have done a basic VTCTcrystal course and i half way through doing colour therapy and the only thing im wondering is why you circle anticlock wise first then clock wise second?
When i use a wand in a crystal treatment i would use it anti clock wise first to remove stagnant energy/inbalances then i would put pack positive new energy by using a circular forward movement.
It really sounds a lovely treatment and the fact you know about the how many petals/colours there are is a good....
Just remember its all about intention......GOOD INTENTION.. im sure you get amazing results!

Bye for now

p.s have found a web site of feet chakras:

Well I prefer to do it at the end but im sure it makes no difference when you do it, its just preference.

Hi, dont know why its clockwise first thats just the way i was told to do it. We were only shown it briefly last week but I am really interested in it and will look further into it..........thanks for the link by the way will have a look at that site now.

bye x

just had a look at the website and they have the sacral chakra at a different point, which I dont understand cos that is not the sacral area on the foot, ah well there are reflexology foot maps that differ from each other, just what you think is right I suppose.
