HOLISTIC REFLEXOLOGY, the eight principlesSelf-discovery through your feetOrder at bottom of pageNow available as an e-Book
My book is not about the practical application of reflexology.
It explores what I have learnt about sore feet, body symptoms and lifestyle through working as a reflexology practitioner since 1999.
When I began to think 'outside the square' and apply what I found to my reflexology practice,
I discovered many things about body symptoms and disease I hadn't considered previously.
Discover the eight principles of holistic reflexology
#1 Anatomy and physiology reflect another perspective
assumes that the body is not in discomfort just to make life
unpleasant, but is trying to attract attention to a specific issue that needs
attention. Knowing only the basics of each system and its relevant organs
is the beginning of understanding what the body is trying to communicate.
Discussion will consider each body system from a metaphysical perspective.
#2 Chakras reveal flow and blockages in energy
looks at the issues
that sit in certain areas of the foot and suggests causes for the discomfort.
#3 Elements express their energy through the toes
discusses the
elements as expressed through the toes and how imbalance can affect our
lifestyle.
#4 Organs hold emotions, often suppressed
focuses on the
emotions held within the major organs and how a painful reflex in the foot can
be an indicator of emotions rather than the physical.
#5 Left and right define who, how and when
defines left and
right and is usually combined with other indicators on the foot to discern who
the problem is associated with, when it happened and how it unfolded.
#6 Shape, texture and
position show strength and weakness, potential and challenge
notices the shape,
texture and position of the foot which is alive with vitality and
information. It’s not so much about reading the foot as connecting with
its energy.
#7 Words and phrases draw a parallel to the cause
encourages people to
listen intently to the words used to tell a story. They are vital to the
puzzle. It is about being attentive.
#8 I attract my own issues
asks us to think
about the people and circumstances in our lives and consider their purpose

Some comments from people who have purchased the book.....
I
came across one of your articles a few weeks ago which led me to your website
and knew I had to order it. Have skimmed over a couple of foot
reading books but yours seems to be a different angle and thoroughly
fascinating. Thank
you so much for sharing
Hi
Glenda,
I’m looking forward to receiving the book. I’ve been enjoying your blog
and Facebook page. I’m also going to order a copy for my friend.
I
got it Glenda! I am so excited to get started on it. Just from
reading your website info, I have already determined the source of this
problem. That decreased the pain, but I am still struggling with how to
move forward with it. I have always known that my body is talking to me
when there is any issues and that I need to listen, but I had no knowledge
about the feet. Many thanks for all your wisdom and for sharing it!
If
you haven't sent it yet, can I ask that you autograph the book for me please. I
forgot to ask this morning when we were chatting. I like to get my books
autographed by the author if I can - I feel it adds more 'energy' to the book -
it's almost like you have that little bit extra of the author
I
have already posted it, but you might like to write this on the inside cover…..
May
your vision transcend the obvious
May
your knowing lead you to discovery
May
your essence be unveiled in all its splendour
Knowing
all is well
Love
Glenda
Hello
Glenda..... I just ordered your book and after looking at your website, I
hope to attend your workshop some day. Words can't express the
connection I had just reading an excerpt from your book. I am so there -
been there for years with the holistic approach - mental, emotional, spiritual,
physical and social aspects of people's lives. My clients have benefited
from my approach because I want them to understand the 'hole' of
the congestion/disconnect they have so they can understand the concept of being
'whole' - connected - mentally, physically and emotionally. I
know I will gain much wisdom than ever after reading it.
I
just wanted to say 'thank you' for writing it. To me, awareness is
everything - from the breathing we do and how we do it (of which I am writing
an article on as we speak) to the domino affect of how we live our lives.
Hi,
Glenda.... Just
took a quick look... can't wait to print it all out tomorrow! I love your
ideas! They are so on the same page as mine! Blessings
Early in
2010 I submitted a proposal to conduct a workshop at the national conference of
the Reflexology Association of Australia. The title of the conference was Celebrating
Research. My workshop was entitled, Research from a Different
Perspective, applying metaphysical principles to attain consistent
results. My offer was declined as the workshop spots had been
taken. However, another speaker pulled
out and I was invited to give a presentation.
In
preparing what I wanted to say, I realized I had so much more information than I
would be able to use in the time span allocated to me. That was when I decided, against all odds, to
put this book together and launch it at the conference. Logic said that I would never pull it off as
I had left it too late to begin but the Universe stepped in, as always, and
guided me to the perfect people I needed to help me achieve my goal.
I
had written some of the content for a workshop a few years before so I thought
all I had to do was expand it a little and put it together. Of course, that turned out to be a much
bigger undertaking that I thought. For a
few weeks it became my total focus for I knew that whatever I focused on
expanded and what I thought about with passion manifested itself in my
reality.
