Reflexology is based on similar principles to acupuncture as well as some types of massage. Our bodies are mapped by meridians of energy, or “chi” (pronounced “chee’). When we feel pain, discomfort or uneasiness, the flow of energy is blocked in some way. By putting pressure on parts of these meridians, the practitioner sends an impulse or signal all the way along it, which unblocks it and promotes the energy to flow freely again. There are various theories as to where the mapping of the hands, feet and ears corresponds to the different components of the human body. This post focuses mostly on hand positioning methods to achieve better health.
