Foot Reflexology

Here is a great interactive foot reflexology chart. While many charts are slightly different, the basics are pretty much the same. To get a good therapeutic foot massage, the whole food needs to be stimulated. The nerve endings are affected by this and the relating part of the body is relaxed therefore allowing the body to return to a state of balance which helps us stay healthy.

In today's stress filled lifestyles, it's is not a luxury to get a reflexology session or attend Tai Chi sessions on a regular basis, it's a must. You will pay the price for not taking care of yourself by lost work days, mental health issues and a general increased stress level that might eventually show up as a serious illness.

Stay in touch with your body and listen to it's cues. Take care of little aches and pains or imbalances as soon as they show up instead of letting them get worse. It's much easier to successfully treat these early symptoms!

Attitude for the Holidays

Our stress is created largely from our reaction to life events. We can actually change our reactions. It helps to have a new attitude. But, it will take lots of practice in most cases due to how the brain has been trained. It is well worth the effort though.

Tips for the Holidays:

Remember the only person you can change is you!

Let go of wanting others to act differently.

Instead of making assumptions, ask for clarification.

As Eckhart Tolle says, become transparent when you feel stress collecting in you and allow it to pass through instead of settling inside you.

It's our choice to be offended, we are taking someone elses comments personally, try to allow others their opinions, know who you are.

Treat yourself well by getting proper sleep, nutrition, exercise and quiet time.

When you are feeling stressed, take a moment to bring to mind something that makes you smile, focus on that inner joy, the tension will melt away and suddenly not be so important anymore!

Blessings! Happy Holidays!
