The reply of physician shows consideration of patient; working within his pain tolerance level: “I do as you please.” A patient must be educated to benefits of pain created by pressure on a point.
As we consider early origins of reflexology, I wish to present some modern day considerations that must be adopted into practice of this ancient healing art. It is of interest to me that medical specialist had a practical trade as well as his therapy practice (stone carver/foot reflexologist) in ancient Egypt.
Many modern Reflexologists combine their practice with another occupation (auto mechanic/foot reflexologist). Don't put off living your life until you are "better." ("I'll do it when I've learned more ..... when I'm older .....when I have more money .....when I have more time.")
Look for all positive things taking place in and around you right now. As you find them, naturally you'll feel more joyful. In life we have either results or try to justify our failure. If we don't have what we want (results), we usually have a long list of reasons why we haven't had success.
Reflexology offers you an incredibly effective method of affecting health of yourself and your family in a positive manner as well as a positive way to express your life.
