Have you ever had a reflexology treatment and what do you think of reflexology? I met a reflexologist many years ago and received treatments, and also became a massage therapist and gave treatments to others and continue to give treatments to myself (both hands and feet). I have had reflexologists tell me that they had people with medical conditions which were considered hopeless by doctors, and then the reflexology treatments healed them. Have you ever received a reflexology treatment? If so, what do you think of it? Do you believe it works?

spiritual experience with treatment? This is not the first time as similar has happened before but i carried out a Reflexology treatment on a client today and half way through treatment the client said that they felt as if something was being lifted from them and just burst out crying, after carrying on with treatment the client saw the colour red and felt the lifting experience again, then to end i massage the solar plexus and ask the client to close their eyes and take slow,deep breaths and on doing this the client claimed to see a white light and then started to cry saying that their mum was beside them holding their arms around them?. Comforting the client and asking if they were ok they replied it was amazing and such a relief and commented that they had never seen a "spirit" before? Just curious as to whether anyone else client or therapist has ever had a similar experience? is it just that the body is Relaxing enough for the mind to experience things or is it something with me? your opinion please. Or maybe you think its just the mind playing tricks? lol, i have been told that i have "natural healing abilities" and have had numerous strange experiences. I just get told that i am weird or a witch at home (well i have got black hair,green eyes and left handed? haha). I feel fine in myself,thanks.

Adrenal gland treatment through massage? Is anyone aware of massage techniques and pressure points that through hand foot reflexology AND body massage techniques that can help to stimulate an irregular Adrenal gland problem.

I am looking forward to doing a great treatment on a friend and wold like to have some advice.

If tickling had such a positive effect on me, is it okay to ask her to continue this special treatment? To get a full explanation on this question, please read one of my previous questions called, "Can I ask my Masseuse friend to try tickle therapy on me?" ======================================... For many months, I have been suffering from an overwhelming amount of stress to the point that I cried non-stop for many days and was exhausted (I suffer from winter blues every winter). Eventually, it became so bad that I couldn't even laugh and there were many times that I craved so much to laugh, but couldn't. I love to laugh because everyone knows how great it feels. It's healthy and it helps to relieve stress and pain. Anyway, I have heard of the existence of tickle-therapy and after finding some stuff on it on the Internet, I suggested this new type of massage to my friend (whom is also a qualified masseuse) and asked her if she would try combining some tickling with my normal massages/reflexology. I was so happy when she agreed to try tickle-therapy on me because ever since she did, I have felt no more stress, worries, fears or sadness and cannot stop smiling. I can think A LOT more clearly for the first time in months and am finally beginning to get my life back on track. I find it so much easier to smile and laugh now and the more I laugh, the happier and healthier I feel. Before my masseuse friend tickled me during my massage, I could barely even smile because I was feeling so heavily miserable from stress. I was about ready to collapse. I didn't think it would be a problem suggesting this idea to her as she has already tickled me more than once in the past (by accident) and she laughed along with me, thinking it was funny. So, when she was tickling me on purpose during the massage, she was laughing along with me too. Anyway, the moral of my story is, the massage made my body feel relaxed and refreshed, while the tickling helped me to laugh and release my stress and troubles, at the same time, releasing endorphines and Seratonin into my body (the human body's natural happy chemicals). My question is this...if tickling combined with my massages/reflexology had such an AMAZINGLY POSITIVE effect on me, do you think she would agree to continue this special treatment, even if I was the only one she did tickle therapy on?

To all reflexologists: a question of growth? I am trained in reflexology and have practised for about 5 years now. It is a fantastic treatment and I love to do extra reading on it. I have over the years learnt techniques to assist with fertility problems and allowing for shortened childbirth etc. Today I read that by stimulating the pituatary point, that increased levels of human growth hormone may be released into the body, thus allowing for an increase in height. While this does sound as realistic to me as other reflexology theories, I`m interested to hear some opinions from other healthcare proffessionals.

can anybody describe? treatment process of reflexology?

Levitation as a party trick - explaination how this works? I read this on of all things a genealogy (grrr) forum. "When I was at Ragdale Hall last weekend we had a talk from a brilliant speaker , Adrian Hunt , who does Reflexology and other treatments. He spoke about Auras and showed us how to lift a lady of 8st using only our fingers , there were 4 of us -2 lifting under her arm and 2 at her knees , we lifted her several feet off the chair with no effort --it was magic !!!..... We all rubbed our hands together to make a heat, then put them on top of the lady`s head one on top of each other not touching . Then someone counted to 20 , we clasped our hands with 2 index fingers in front and put them under the lady`s knees and armpits then just lifted up . The heat creates a bubble which helps her to rise " Any ideas how best to say "bollocks" in a polite way? Guessing it works because the load is shared? Quite a few other people claimed to have done something similar at school too. Yes Yahoo, I believe that is how it is done, now I am looking for a way to say that this is not 'magic' but simply a trick that does not contradict the laws of science. I don't want to say 'bollocks' since it will probably cause the poor old duck to fall of her chair. And more importantly this is on a site you have to pay to subscribe to and I don't want to waste my membership fee by being banned. Skeptics may be interested in seeing the 'treatment' packages this place offers. http://www.ragdalehall.co.uk/treatment-category.cfm/category_ID/2/title=holistic-therapies
