Reflexology Rocks!
Stones are part of the earth element and help you to reconnect with the earth’s grounding, stable force. Used as an extension of your own hands, hot and cold mineral stones enhance and elevate your client’s experience of Reflexology to one of primordial sacredness. Rooted in the ancient Tibetan and Native American traditions, Stone Therapy entices the mind/body to surrender all traces of mental and muscular tension – a logical adjunct to Reflexology. Chilled stones calm and cool inflammatory conditions while heated stones invite the recipient into a deep experience of themselves that almost defies definition. Together hot and cold stones provide a vascular workout for the entire body, both stimulating and relaxing the circulatory system at the same time. As contradictory as this may sound, it is this unique interplay of heat and cold that deeply relaxes and re-energizes a tired body. Homeostasis is returned. Balance restored. The prime intention of a Reflexology session.
Resources for tools and accessories required to offer Stone Reflexology sessions will be made available during the class.
