Relax - and prevent illness

“A relaxing experience that can also prevent illness.“


I recently came across this quote referring to reflexology. “A relaxing experience that can also prevent illness.“
I really wish I knew who to attribute it to, but I do not. But I share it with the deepest gratitude.

Reading this made me think two thoughts…

1. “Eat your veggies first“ popped into my head. That implies that you don’t like your veggies. That you want to eat them first and get them out of the way. Implying that we are not necessarily going to enjoy the things that are good for us. 

I have happily discovered that many things we can do that are good for us, are truly enjoyable experiences.

2. The words “prevent illness“, I feel like it sounds like such a simple, maybe not as important as it is statement. Reflexology, as a holistic modality, cannot diagnose, cure, prescribe or treat a specific illness. However, Prevention - yup - that it can do. 

Doesn’t that seem like an even more powerful tool? How much better would it be to prevent the things you could rather than have to go about diagnosing them, curing them or prescribing something for them? An added perk for reflexology, it’s reparative.  Your reflexologist can’t label what you have, but they can inspire your body into doing some amazing repairative healing work.

Conclusion of two thoughts…

The Magic of Reflexology

• Prevent it
• Repair it
• Relax and enjoy the experience
