ESSENE FOOT REFLEXOLOGY Students interested in pursuing the Essene Healing Techniques are best advised to borrow a book on Foot Reflexology from their local library. The Essene methods differ considerably from the literature available on the subject. This is true for a number of reasons:
Keep these general rules in mind as you study:
Essene Foot Reflexology works on animals as well as humans. The toes always refer to the head. The area between the toes and pad refer to the shoulders and front legs. The pad refers to the chest (near the toes) and abdomen (near the heel of the foot) and to the upper and lower back. The heel refers to the hind legs and feet. With these differences in mind, the technique works equally well on animals as it does on humans. The basic technique the Essene Healer teaches their clients to help them cure their own aches, pains, diseases and injuries is:
THE LYMPHATIC PUMP - The Toes You're going to grab your toes with your opposite hand and using a pumping motion move your toes toward you and away from you in a smooth and easy motion. Another way of saying this is you're going to push your toes down and below and then raise them up and above the normal straight line your toes form with your foot. This action moves the lymph from your shoulder and upper chest area where tends to collect. This means toxins collect in this area causing stress and pain. The Lymphatic Pump applied to your toes softens the lymph and starts it moving throughout your body. The lymph carries the toxins to your spleen, liver and kidney where the toxins will be processed and excreted. THE LYMPHATIC PUMP - The Feet While still grabbing your toes as before, now move your whole foot up and down bending the entire foot with as much flexibility as possible in a pumping motion and without causing yourself any pain or discomfort. This action softens and moves the lymph throughout your body thereby releasing toxins throughout your body and moving them through your lymphatic system where they will eventually reach one of your excretory organs. ZONE ONE - The Toes The Toes are referenced to the head and neck as given in General Rules 1-2-3 with the big toe referenced to the middle of the head in the same side of the body. As you work your way through the toes, stop and apply pressure anyplace where there is any tenderness, tension or pain. Hold this pressure until the tenderness, tension or pain goes away. Press a little harder and hold that pressure until the tenderness, tension or pain goes away again. Repeat this process one more time and then continue with the session. ZONE TWO - The Ball of the Foot The place where the toes connect to the ball of the foot references to the shoulders. The outside of the little toe references to the lower outside shoulder on the same side of the body. The thumb references to the lower neck at the place where the neck joins the trunk. The ball of the foot proper references to the chest, ribs, upper back and everything in between, including the heart and lungs. As you work your way through the ball of each foot, stop and apply pressure anyplace where there is tension or pain. Hold this pressure until the tension or pain goes away. Press a little harder and hold that pressure until the tension or pain goes away. Repeat this process one more time and then continue with the session. ZONE THREE - The Arch of the Foot The arch of the foot, between the ball and heel of each foot references to the abdomen,lower back and everything between them including the stomach, liver, gall bladder, kidneys and intestines. As you work your way through the arch of each foot, stop and apply pressure anyplace where there is tension or pain. Hold this pressure until the tension or pain goes away. Press a little harder and hold that pressure until the tension or pain goes away. Repeat this process one more time and then continue with the session. ZONE FOUR - The Heel of the Foot The place where the arch and heel meet references to the hips and the bulk of the heel references to the legs. The back of the heels, above the usual heel calluses, references to the feet and toes. This is a small area on the heel and it's usually very tender for people with foot problems. As you work your way through the heel of each foot, stop and apply pressure anyplace where there is tension or pain. Hold this pressure until the tension or pain goes away. Press a little harder and hold that pressure until the tension or pain go away. Repeat this process one more time and then continue with the session. POINT REFLEXOLOGY VERSUS ZONE REFLEXOLOGY The foot reflexology system taught and used by the Modern Essenes is called Zone Reflexology. This is the "Western Reflexology." The other form of reflexology commonly used in European and American countries is called "Point Reflexology" and is based on the reflex points of the body. There is a great deal of discussion among point reflexology practitioners as to the exact location of the various points. In the Zone Reflexology way of looking at things, it doesn't matter exactly where a particular point is located. Be guided by the discomfort of your client, their points of pain and your own intuition. The following foot chart indicates the point reflexology approach of identifying the various reflex points on each foot. Individuals vary. So these locations may also vary somewhat from person to person.
