Reflexology
Yesterday was my first time trying reflexology- and all i can say is it was an amazing experience, one i wish i had tried so long ago. I met with a friend of Todd's, Madeline who studies many holistic practices, and in essence is a healer. She provides many services, and one of them being reflexology. She practices out of her home, where she has converted part of her downstairs into this very comfy, safe area. After talking for a brief time, she had me lay in this is chair that flipped back so i could lay down, with my feet stretched out. As she begun to massage my feet she could tell so many things, none of which i had told her. She could tell i had a headache, that my breathing was labored( from asthma), and that my neck was out of alignment- oh and that i was very stressed out- what a surprise!
As she began to work different pressure points in my feet, i started to immediately feel relaxed, but alive and full of energy at the same time. She talked to me about many different things, none of which i could remember, it was almost as if i had just floated away. She probably massaged both my feet for about an hour- one i wished would never have ended. There is much more detail to this, i have simplified so much, but i think the most important thing to reveal is that i have never felt this good- and it stayed with me well after i left her home. I went on with the rest of my day, so relaxed, but so happy and alive, it was amazing. I made sure to drink my water, as Madeline suggested that i drink plenty of water to remove the toxins that she worked out of my body. And so i went home fully intending to take a nap, as i felt so sleepy- yet i had energy to burn, so i went to my nephew Justin's hockey game, which was awesome!
My next session with Madeline is in a week and i can hardly wait. And for anyone who encounters a lot of stress in their life, i strongly suggest giving reflexology a try- it is so much better then a massage.

Hi Shan,
I just noticed you had comments on reflexology. I am so happy that you are finding this relaxing, and enjoying it. Anything that is making you feel so good, and unstessed has got to be good for you. love, mom
