Emotions and Reflexology

[Snob 2 (Suspended)]

I have recently started in Reflexology and Indian Head Massage. A lady came to me for an Indian Head Massage and said she would have a reflexology treatment in January. She used to have a treatment in the last town she lived in and she commented the reflexologist could tell she was feeling very emotional at that time. My client didn't tell her any of this but was upset at the time. Could anyone please tell me how you can feel if someone is emotional, I haven't come across this yet but naturally I do feel the normal 'crunchieness' etc.

Thanks[sm=wave.gif]

Hi BJay

A lot of therapists do 'pick up' things from their clients. But don't worry if you don't! it is not essential for the treatment and anyway, some people will say thingsjust because they think people want to hear it.

There are all sorts of therapists and you aren't doing the job to say you know how she feels, just to give her a good treatment. if that makes sense?![&:]

As you work on more people you will become more sensitive to these things though, but if you don't it doesn't matter. Some therapists don't work like that at all, doesn't make them any less effective.

Hiya
You may find you just pick up on this energy as you work, if you dont as Candie says dont worry, however dont forget the visual/physical clues.....how does the face look, have you a fidgeter or nail biter, is she particulary tense, red eyes...what are the arms doing etc etc you can tell a lot from just watching the person on your couch......

Trust your instincts.

Thank you Candie and TigerBee, you've definately put my mind at rest! As you say, I'm sure I'll pick up on these things as time goes on.

I agree with all the above, and the only way I can tell emotions from the feet is by how the endocrine system is presenting. The endocrine glands are so closely linked to the emotions, and I find the adrenals, pituitary and thyroid are the first to respond to emtional upset or stress.
