Lifestyle Choices

You will notice at the base of the fingers that it says “ears” and “eyes.” With your right thumb, press on the pad just about where the fingers join your left hand. Use a press-and-roll motion here as you search out tender spots. When you find a sore spot, keep working it for a few seconds to release a flow of electrical life force into the congested area, thus giving nature a helping hand in healing whatever the malfunction might be.

This will be true in all cases where you find a tender spot on any reflex. Our therapy motto is “if a reflex hurts, rub it out.” Any sore spot on a reflex indicates malfunctioning in the corresponding part of the body, no matter how remote it may be from the reflex button being stimulated.

How to work the upper pads: Next, you will work the reflexes to the lungs and bronchial tubes, which are located on the upper pads of your hands. With the thumb of your right hand, work along this whole area. It may be easier for you to work both hands as we move along. Don’t ever give yourself only half a workout by overlooking one of your hands.

Working the upper pad on the left hand also sends healing circulation to the heart and circulatory system, which is a large area. You will also be working the bronchial reflexes, as they are all interrelated. Work the upper pad on the left palm as well as the upper part on the back of the left hand. Work completely across from the inside to the outside of the hand.

Work reflexes across the middle of hands: Let us move on to the stomach reflexes which, are located in the soft area just under the thumb of both hands and across the hand a bit. When you work the reflexes to the stomach, you will also be sending vital energy to the pancreas, duodenum, kidneys, and adrenals, because these organs overlap each other. You will work this area with the thumb of the opposite hand using the press-and-rotate motion.

Now let us progress to the center of the palm. The solar plexus reflex area is located near the stomach, and the diaphragm reflex runs across both hands, just under the lung reflexes.

Since our body is three dimensional, many organs and glands unite in this area and work together to help maintain us. This is where we run into congestion of the reflexes and it will be almost impossible to work one without sending some currents of vital life forces surging through other close-lying glands and organs. This is why we can never take our bodies for granted. There are many wonderful functions taking place, hidden beneath our skin.

Next, we find the reflexes to the adrenal and the kidney located in zone two of the hand. Notice how the thumb is held in position to work these two reflexes.

You will notice on the right hand that by moving the thumb over onto the pad under the little finger, you will be on the outside edge of the reflex to the liver. Use a criss-cross technique to cover the entire reflex area. Moving down a bit and about half-way across the hand, you will find the reflex to the gall bladder.

Working across the lower section of each hand, you will be on the colon reflex. Moving toward the wrist are the reflexes to the small intestines and bladder. The appendix is on the right hand only, as we have only one appendix, and it is on the right side of the body.

If self-help tools other than the fingers are used, such as the Magic Reflexer or the Deluxe Hand & Foot Roller, forceful life pulsations will be manifested in all of these regions at once, instead of just one at a time. Therefore, the use of reflex tools is often helpful in the case of constipation and other digestive or intestinal problems.

How to work Reflexes on Back (or Top) of Hand

Notice the reflex areas on the back of each hand. The skin is thinner here and reflexes are not so sensitive. Therefore, most reflex work will be done on the palms of the hands. However, working the Magical V on the back of each hand is very effective.

Work reflexes on the back of each hand to send healing energy to chest, breast, ribs, lungs, the circulatory system, and muscles. Working the backs of hands can be done with the fingers, or thumb, of the opposite hand.

Now, let us look at the reflexes to the lower lumbar spine and sex glands. They are located mostly on the wrist. Use a press-androtate motion or the press-and-pull method to work these reflexes.

The importance of the lymph glands: While we are still on the wrist, turn the hand over and on the back of the wrist, you will find the reflexes to the lymph glands. Use thumb or fingers to work across the back of the wrist several times as the lymph glands can always use a little natural help in their work of taking care of any infections that might invade the body.

Some Reflex Buttons May Be Difficult to Locate

Because we use our hands all day long, the hand and finger reflex buttons may not be so sensitive, or so easy to locate, as those in the feet. Toes and feet are very receptive to reflexology. This is because they are usually well protected by shoes, socks, or slippers. When we do go barefoot, we walk on soft surfaces such as rugs and lawns, which keep our feet tender. Therefore the reflex points are easy to find.

Searching for sore spots in the hands and fingers can be a challenge at times. For this reason, I will explain the use of several bene-facial self-help tools which will enable you to work the reflexes in your hands more thoroughly.
