Physical Application of Crystal Reflexology
Crystal Reflexology uses a crystal massage wand to apply pressure on various trigger points on the hands and feet.
Applying Crystal Reflexology
Foot and Hand Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all body parts.
The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques, performed without oils, lotions or creams result in stress reduction causing a physiological change in the body.
With Crystal Reflexology, one uses a smooth tumbles massage wand, worry stone, or rounded smooth stone will allow you great benefits!
Rubbing the warm oil into the bottom of the foot and over and around each toe feels exceptionally erotic, so I suggest you explore the feet and discover what your client or friend is feeling. Utilize your massage crystal and begin to work in different areas that are tender. Many people will let you know when you are in a delicate spot.
Working slowly and with different degrees of depth will allow you to explore every angle of the foot map.
Self-Massage
Depending on how flexible you are it may be easier to massage your hands rather than your feet in a self-help reflexology treatment.
Exercise your feet and hands by stretching out your toes and fingers as widely as possible, curling them in and out, twisting ankles and wrists, and finishing with an overall shake.
Walk around on your bare foot as much as possible, which stimulates the sensory output from the feet to the brain. Specialist foot massage aids include contoured wooden shoes and sandals. You could also try rolling a golf ball or a rolling pin around the sole of your foot against the floor or between the palms of your hands.
Treatments for several disorders
Allergy sufferers can relieve their sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes by rubbing the top of the first segment of the big toe with the thumb, in an upward movement toward the nail.
For abdominal bloating and digestive difficulties, rub and press under the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe (ball of the foot) and the entire digestive zone area – the middle part of the foot where the digestive reflexes lie.
Women with menstrual pain or irregularity, other pelvic area difficulties, or lower back pain, should rub and press the area between the anklebone and the heel of the inner foot. Doing this regularly can significantly reduce the intensity and duration of menstrual cramping.
Stress cannot be avoided. We live with it every day. A day’s work, playing sports or giving a dinner party can be stressful but also exhilarating and fun. Stress becomes a problem when we fail to manage it well, especially the pressure that results from challenges, frustrations, overwork, and worry. Work your crystal deep into the center of the foot for stress. Try the tip of the big toe for headaches. Reflexology reduces stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation.
We all know how important it is for blood to flow freely through the body carrying oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in the body and removing waste products and toxins. Stress and tension tighten up the cardiovascular system and restrict blood flow. Circulation becomes sluggish. By reducing stress and tension, Reflexology allows the Cardiovascular vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and quickly.
A reflexology treatment is one of the most relaxing ways to spend an hour on yourself. It involves deep pressure on the soles of the feet – a very intense foot massage. The pressure stimulates the nerve connections that extend from the feet to the rest of the body. It’s almost like having an all over body massage and only exposing your feet!
