Here we are coming towards the end of week four in this strange temporary new world. I have achieved one goal from my last blog, yes I have long nails tap tapping on the key board!
You may be staying safe at home l or going out and working hard in key roles. Either way you deserve some relaxation and may be missing your reflexology, I know I am ! Hopefully some of you found the last resources helpful so this time I thought I’d share something different.
Wish I was here: One year since my wedding day in beautiful Bath
When I teach baby reflexology I provide hand outs to help people remember the routines. Now these are designed for lovely cute little baby feet, but they work just as well on big old grown up feet! You can use them for your own feet or have fun with people in your household. They are usually part of a face to face session so I though i’d just go over a few things.
I use Bee Balm from Songbird Naturals when I’m working, and it is really gorgeous, but any body oil will work ok. Ideally you want something that doesn’t absorb too quickly. Don’t forget you will be slippy afterwards so pop something on to your feet or give them a good wipe.
I talk about thumb walking….well this means a little up and down bend of your thumb, so the padded part of your thumb ‘walks’ along the foot as it makes contact. If this just sounds impossible then you can glide your thumb along the reflexes, shown as lines on the guides. When I show pictures of movements on the toes please remember to be gentle; no twisting or pulling them out of their little sockets!
Ok, so here are the guides, I hope you enjoy them. If you have any questions as always just ask! I’m not sure how they will look on different devices so if you can’t see them well let me know and I can email them over. Have fun!
