Natural Health and Wellness

We continue in this month of counting blessings and thankfulness with our celebration of Footsteps In Eden Reflexology's 4th Birthday. From our very beginning, Footsteps In Eden chose to offer you way more than a reflexology "session." Our goal was to offer you an experience of delight for all the senses. We appeal to your sense of smell through the use of aromatherapy. In our case, high quality therapeutic grade essential oils from Young Living .  Did you know that of all of our senses, the sense of smell is the only one where we react first and think about our response later? Something to think about, but not the question for today. So, the question is, what is your favorite essential oil, how do you use it, and why?  To familiarize yourself with essential oils and their benefits, begin your journey of discovery here .

It's your moment to relax. Where do your thoughts turn first? What is your favorite form of relaxation? Comment here on the blog or on this post on our Footsteps In Eden Reflexology Facebook page. Your answer puts your name in the drawing for a nice relaxation package. (See previous post.) While we are in the Memphis, TN area, we would like to encourage everyone to participate. We will ship the package to any winner within the U.S. (If you're in Memphis area, we'll ask you to pick it up.)

It's November. That means a season of Thanksgiving and a birthday for us. We are very thankful for ALL of you, and would like to challenge you to share some of your favorite things about reflexology and other natural health and wellness topics. Footsteps In Eden Reflexology turned 4 on November 1st, and we'll be celebrating by giving you opportunities throughout the month to do just that. Be watching for questions and posts, which ask you to participate. You may comment here on the blog or on Facebook . Your answers must be specific and pertinent to the question asked. You'll see as we go along. Thanksgiving Day we'll choose a winner of a fun pack of relaxation goodies. If you're not in the Memphis area, but in the Continental U.S., we invite you to join in the fun. If you win we will send it to you. (In the Memphis area, please plan to come by and pick it up if you are the winner. :-)  Watch for first opportunity tomorrow, Monday, November 7, 2011. Here's...

Tranquility is life to the body." Proverbs 14:30 Peace on Earth. . .A major holiday theme, but often our lives are anything but peaceful during this very busy season of celebration. Running from shopping to cooking to entertaining to travel to parties to decorating and perhaps gift making as well we are often out of steam, stressed, and on edge. The meaning of the season is almost sure to be lost. Add to that, stress is a major factor in 90% plus of all the dis-eases of our bodies. King Solomon shared the avove quote thousands of years ago. How true it is.  Is it time to take a closer look at those todo lists and calendar apps, and make the time to minimize your holiday stress and maximize your enjoyment of the holiday? Reflexology's number 1 benefit  is stress reduction. With reduced stress, of course, healing on many levels has opportunity to take place in your body  Footsteps in Eden Reflexology has created a haven for you to spend 30-75 minutes tota...

Here are some good references on how to detox and activate your pineal gland: Meditate on pineal gland  and visualize it glowing in white golden light and feel it tingling or vibrating in the center of your brain.  Do the Aum (Om) chant every day  (sit upright, hands folded together on lap, right thumb over left.) Take a deep breath in (filling first the stomach/diaphram, then mid-chest, the upper chest.) Then exhale with the A (soft a) sound while emptying the stomach/lower chest. Continue exhaling and say U (cross between oo and strong O) sound while emptying the mid-chest. Finish by closing your mouth and saying the M sound while emptying your upper chest and feel vibrations on the roof of your mouth.Pause and repeat several times.

Avoid all things fluoride , including: tap water, cooking with tap water, fluoridated...
