I love this analogy ❤
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
*Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.*
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
*So, we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?
Life provides the cup; YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Does Your Stomach Rumble During a Massage or Reflexology Treatment?

Image
The truth is that in my treatment room, aside from sighs of relief, snores or relaxing music, a rumbling tummy is one of our favourite   sounds!     This week at least three of my lovely clients have apologised for their rumbling tummies and asked me why it happened, so I thought I’d explain because it’s actually a really good sign.   If you find your stomach rumbling during a treatment, please don't be embarrassed - it's a real compliment to a therapist to hear your body respond to the work that is taking place, because you can't fake the fact that your body is quite literally shifting gear.   Our bodies are governed by our Nervous System which controls a lot of the things we can't consciously control, such as blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, sweating, breathing rhythm, etc.  It operates in two 'gears' - these two gears are also referred to as 'fight or flight' (Sympathetic Nervous System) and 'rest & digest' (Parasympathetic Nervous S

Healing is not Linear - Your Healing Journey

Image
"Healing is not linear"  This is one of the truest statements I know.     Reflexology is great in supporting your healing process.  When healing is received, there is not one part of you that is not loved or nurtured, because energy will ripple and cause positive changes throughout your entire being.   But it’s important to understand that healing takes time and works with us on many different levels throughout every aspect of our lives.   Some of us may be going through what is sometimes called a  HEALING CRISIS , a period of time where we get a sort of wakeup call that things need to change, we ourselves need to grow, learn and move forward.  I prefer to call this a  SELF-HEALING PROCESS , but basically it means that we have layers on and that means that we are forever learning to go deeper, to work, grow and love from this place and to heal from within.   We may often find that in healing stages, where we will go for therapy, some issues that may seem resolved may crop up
