QUESTIONS TO CLARIFY OUR REFLEXOLOGY JOURNEY



I think my journey and my love of Reflexology is evident in the longevity of my activities with it and my commitment to sharing Reflexology with others. I don't know how many students I have trained over the years in the hands, feet, and ear and teachers training reflexology courses - lots! Did I know that this was a life-long love? Not when I started but as I continued on my journey, I became clearer about what kept me curious, interested and engaged in life.

As you continue on your path down the yellow brick road to find the answers for yourself in terms of your personal and professional Reflexology journey, you may wish to answer some of these questions for yourself:

a. Do you see Reflexology as a hobby or as a profession?

b. What are some goals you might identify for yourself today and into your future with your practice of Reflexology?

c. Where do you offer your treatments? Home, clinics, spas, medical centres, chiropractic office, hairdressing, esthetics?

d. What other modalities might you consider taking to complement your reflexology treatments? Aroma therapy, Reiki and energy work, esthetics, massage?

e. What are you charging and how are you being recognized for your work? The costs can add up if you are required to take professional development education units, pay for liability insurance, join associations and pay your membership dues. Are you making sure you get paid a fair price for your service?

f. What about the economy? Who is your client and can they afford this service if it is not covered by any of their benefits or plans?

g. What about certification standards. Who sets the standards? What are they? How do we teach these to our students and practice them in our service to our clients? How do we monitor them?

Next, take a moment and then complete the following:

1. Taking Action - Let's imagine you have found a magic lamp. You pick it up and absent-mindedly begin to stroke it and it starts to talk. As you listen, it tells you that as money is not an object of concern, what action steps would it tell you to take in terms of your Reflexology career?

2. Tell someone - create a plan, share it with someone you trust and think about how you'll feel once you complete all the action steps on your plan.

The question for all of us is truly, what is reflexology to you? Where are you currently with it in your life? Where do you want to go? Getting to the heart of Reflexology is both a personal as well as a professional question.

  The functionality of a cigarette or pipe is quite easy to understand. All you need to do is light a cigarette and inhale the smoke it produces. On the other hand, a vape pen is somewhat mysterious. However, the way it works is not complicated either. The difference between these units and the traditional units is that they have a heating element instead of fire. Let's find out more. Basically, when the tobacco, dry herb, oil or wax heats up, the chemicals found inside transform into vapor.

How Should You Quit Marijuana?

I used to smoke marijuana myself, for well over 10 years. I did quit eventually, and for me I think it was a pretty difficult thing to do. I had a timely pre-planned holiday overseas, which certainly helped me avoid temptation, and I quit weed completely with marijuana detox. But the main reason I finally quit weed was because I had to. The fear of smoking weed finally outweighed the fear of quitting weed. I was pro-active and went all out trying anything, eventually quitting successfully with marijuana detoxification. So trust me, I'm not being rude when I ask, If you smoke weed, Why do you smoke it? People answer this differently. Some people will say they only smoke for fun and that they are not addicted. While most long time users report they smoke because of their cravings for marijuana, and that they are addicted. It's true that marijuana is addictive, both physically and emotionally. Although a marijuana addiction is very real, this negative focus that long time smokers ...

This year, Obama's administration has also ordered federal narcotics agents to stop prosecuting people who use and distribute marijuana (including medical marijuana doctors) in the states that have legalized it, which indicated an alteration of the course from past administrations' stringent opposition to the use of medical marijuana, even for people that have marijuana cards in the states that have legalized the plant for medical use. At the moment, fourteen states lawfully permit the use of medical marijuana and around twelve other states have started to think about doing so - 420 mail order .
