Metamorphosis Reflexology
How would you like a session where all the touches by the practitioner are feather light? Where you float off into a dreamy world effortlessly? Where deep healing on a subconscious level takes place while you drift off into a deep, floating, state of relaxation? Well then, metamorphosis reflexology is for you.
What is Metamorphosis Reflexology
and what are stess patterns?
Metamorphosis is a unique, gentle, non-manipulative, deeply relaxing and deep acting light touch reflexology method, that allows you to let go of conscious and unconscious, emotional, mental, genetic and karmic stress patterns. These stress patterns are mostly subconscious and affect all of us, collectively and individually, influencing how we perceive and experience our lives. They are at the source of all dysfunctions in our lives, both physical and emotional, causing us to ?react? rather than ?respond? to life and it?s many challenges. As you let go of your underlying stress patterns you begin to experience a healthier and more positive approach to life and come closer to your ?zero point? or true potential to experience and enjoy life.
Origins of Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis was originally called Prenatal Therapy and was the inspiration of an Englishman named Robert St. John. St. John was a naturopath working in the late 1950?s and the 1960?s. He realized that the natural therapies that he and others were working with, although useful, were only treating the physical symptoms and did not get to the roots of peoples problems; their primary, underlying attitudes towards life. As he explored further, St. John studied reflexology. He studied the two methods then in use, zone therapy in America and the European reflex therapy.
What St. John observed was the principle of the therapy, that the practitioner seemed to be simply a catalyst and that it was the client who, at an inner level, allowed the healing in. This is the principle underlying all of healing as we know it today. He felt that this might be a more fundamental way of treating stress and illness and began to evolve his own method of reflexology along this general principle.
St. John discovered that by working what he called the prenatal pattern through the spinal reflexes, one is able to let go of the underlying genetic and karmic stresses brought in at conception. The prenatal pattern he established is a series of spinal reflex points that represent the time period from pre-conception to birth, the formative period when our genetic and karmic patterns determine who we will become. This discovery meant that now, not only was positive change possible on a physical level, but also on a mental, emotional and behavioral level. He realized that if this were possible, literally everything was changeable.
Gaston St. Pierre, a student of Robert St. John further developed the metamorphosis reflexology as we now know it. Today metamorphosis reflexology is well known and accepted in Europe and Australia.
Some Benefits
Metamorphosis reflexology repatterns and shifts our way of thinking and doing into a more functional, balanced system. The beauty of the work is that there is no need to discuss your problems or relive traumatic events, you can sit back and relax! Healing is the natural response to letting go of your underlying stress patterns and allowing the healing in.
Metamorphosis is for everyone who wants to live a more free and full life, closer to their potential, and also for everyone who needs to relax and let the stress of daily living in our modern lives, melt away. Metamorphosis allows a person to address any disturbance or disharmony in their lives.
Metamorphosis reflexology is also wonderful for pregnant woman as both the mother's frame of mind during pregnancy and the child's frame of mind while in the womb effects developmental states later on, plus, there is no direct manipulation of reflex areas that become sensitive during pregnancy.
We have within us the potential to do, become and feel far more than we are at present. As Robert St. John said, he developed metamorphosis to ?help people with the very difficult job of being a human being?.

Asthma, Bronchitis & Reflexology
Did you know regular reflexology sessions can help relieve asthma sufferers' symptoms? Yes, the life affirming qualities of reflexology are very good for asthma sufferers.
How does Reflexology help?
Reflexology helps activate the body?s own healing abilities to strengthen and normalize the circulatory , respiratory and endocrine system. In this way, it can help to strengthen lung and bronchial tissue. As it removes stress blocks reflexology also helps your entire body to function better and it will enable your body to make more effective use of medications,which can lead to reduction in dosages needed.
The key to success is having regular reflexology sessions. Reflexology treatments have been shown to lessen the severity and frequency of asthma attacks. You can also apply reflexology techniques to yourself several times throughout the day.
Children with Asthma
Children with asthma and bronchitis benefit greatly from reflexology treatments, the key here is shorter sessions, but more often. It is beneficial for the parents to learn how to work the reflex areas on the child?s feet so they can do this on a daily basis. Giving reflexology to your child?s or your grandchild?s feet also creates a wonderful nurturing bond between you both.
At the very least, reflexology makes one feel more comfortable in one?s own body, and this is a great benefit for most sufferers of asthma or other respiratory difficulties.

Essential Oils for Summertime
Here are some essential oils and their practical uses during summertime:
Rosalina - a milder alternative to Tea Tree oil
Tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)a very powerful oil from Australia is known to have anti-septic and anti-fungal qualities. In it's pure form it is has a very strong scent. There is now an alternative with a milder, more pleasant scent. Rosalina (Melaleuca ericifolia), also from Australia, has the same cleansing qualities of tea tree, but with a smoother, milder and more pleasant scent. One of my favorite uses of rosalina oil is to put a several drops on the air intake filter of my air conditioner and Voila! No more musty smell when you turn it on! And it cleans all the air in the room leaving a really nice scent!
Another home use of tea tree as well as rosalina oil is to put a few drops in your bucket of water while cleaning the bathroom, (or kitchen, or basement), wipe down the walls with it and their anti-septic and anti-fungal qualities effectively prevent mold and mildew from forming.
We have rosalina oil available in 5 ml. bottles for $9.00 and 10 ml. bottles for $16.00. Remember, a little goes a long way.
"Scandinavian Winter" Diffuser Blend
This wonderfully cooling blend of spruce and cedar wood feels like it lowers your temperature as soon as you inhale it. It is a very, cooling blend and has also been discovered to cut the smell of skunks! No kidding. A customer had her house sprayed by a skunk and after all else failed, she mixed drops of scandinavian winter in water and sprayed and washed the rooms with this mixture. After that, all was well. Scandinavian winter is also good to drop into water you use for cleaning, it also has a cleansing effect and a nice, cool scent that makes everything feel fresh. We have scandinavian winter in 15 ml. bottles for $18.00.
Caring for your oils during the summer.
If your home tends to be very warm, this is not good for your essential oils. Keep them in a cool place, and out of direct sunlight. Hight heat and direct sunlight cause oils to lose their potency. All essential oils can be stored in the refrigerator (not the freezer!) if need be, to extend the life of the oils.
Citrus oils in particular, are better kept in the fridge. Take care of your oils, and remember, a little goes a long way!
