Health>Mind+Body: Self-treatment or self-help reflexology program

Self-treatment or self-help is essential if you expect to regain and then maintain your health.

A professional reflexologyist can help coach you if you are struggling with some health related problem, but ultimately you need to take responsibility for your own well-being by following that inner guidance ... intuition, gut instinct, heart ... all culminating in what we experience as conscience.

Reflexy Cure Probeis one of the simplest and most effective self-help tools on the market today. When you are ready for therapy just place the ReflexyCure probe/roller on the floor in front of a comfortable chair.

As you seat yourself reach out with one of your toes and grip the groove on either of the two ends. Then press it firmly against the floor as you position your other foot over the reflexology-wheel located in the center of the long shaft and begin to let it press into the tissues. The search for the K1 meridian/Solar Plexus reflexology area has begun.

Your objective is to comb the target area known to some ReflexoCurist's (reflexologists) as the Solar Plexus reflex area. In the midst of this region (between the second and third metatarsal bones) you will find the K1 meridian point. So if you miss on the first try ... continue to slowly roll your foot back-and-forth as you look for that well known pinpoint of pain that will indicate you have hit the bulls eye. When you find it ... hold your position and begin to increase the downward pressure on the ReflexyCure probe wheel. Press until you reach the point of intolerance. Then back off a little and hold steady for 20 to 60 seconds. Take a short break and press again. Do this several times before going to the other foot where you will repeat the whole process for the other side of your body.

Note: some folks don't experience any significant level of zone/meridian point pain due to good health, or conversely because of dehydration, severe illness, emotional disturbance, and/or excessive use of psychotropic drugs. If you fit into this category ... don't become discouraged because the benefits are still able to occur in many of these instances mentioned ... whether you feel pain or not. However, if you do find other points of painful discomfort in your search for the K1 ... do not allow yourself to become sidetracked from your objective by working other reflexes. You may go back later to any of those other points after you have fully activated the K1 which is buried 1/2" to 1" deep within the plantar muscle ... right in the center of the Solar Plexus(Note:nerves point corresponds with K1 compared to Ingham's Solar Plexus).

The K1 is the only meridian that originates on the bottom of the feet (the other 22 major meridians either originate or terminate on the tops of the feet or hands). The K1 is also known as the Chinese Sleep Point, the Well Point and the Bubbling Springs Point ... it is one of the most powerful points found on the foot. Although you can get all of this reflexology activation by walking bare footed on the rocks or standing on golf balls ... the ReflexyCure Probe is convenient for the busy city dweller in order to easily access this point (some self-helpers have one under their desk at work). You can get pinpoint accuracy with this quality (patent pending) instrument that is guaranteed to last you a lifetime.

An MIR Reflexology Student writes of a dramatic healing response to K1 (Kidney One) activation (name withheld at request of this male student):

"My digestion has been somewhat of a problem since 1979. My foot reflexes have been very tender, so I began stimulating them as part of my reflexology studies. The most recent self-treatment that I performed was with ReflexyCure Probe and it lasted about 1.5 hours (my feet at times became numb from the pressure that I created with the reflexology-wheel of the REFLEXY). This agonizing activation of the sensitive Kidney Meridian origins (encompassing the stomach and small intestine reflexes) on the bottom of both feet, resulted in a deep cleansing reaction which produced pulsing pains deep within my abdomen. This pain gradually diminished as my condition improved over a 7-Day period.

"For those first two days after that grueling self-treatment ... shooting pains would radiate across my abdomen every 20 minutes. I had to run to the toilet constantly, where I once observed expulsion of partially digested food that I had eaten as much as two weeks earlier. However, by the 3rd day the pain was a little better, but I still had the diarrhea.

"During the 4th day there were hardly any pains, and the stool began to firm up. On the 5th day of my ordeal, I still had pain ... but much less: and the stool was getting back to normal. By the 6th day there was very little pain and on the 7th ... the pain was gone.

" This has been a firsthand (foot-first) learning experience that has demonstrated the virtue of 'shock type' reflexology taught by MIR. This single treatment has started a healing in my body for which I have been praying. I plan to repeat this procedure periodically (as time permits) in order to gain my optimum level of health. (I should mention that I had lost my appetite and couldn't really eat. However, I did drink 3 cups of dandelion tea daily ... those first two days.)"

Yes, it is possible for you to start a self-treatment reflexology program. It is as simple as going barefoot on the grass, pressing both K1's upon two smooth rocks, stepping simultaneously onto two golf balls, or purchasing a ReflexyCure Probe. Any tool that enables you to easily access the K1 with dynamic activation will help generate the bio electric mechanism of action needed to improve your sense of well-being. Yes, you can feel good again.

Please note that each end of the ReflexyCure Probe is designed to work the meridian origins and termination's located at the corner of the nail beds on both the feet and the hands. Imagine all that power in one tool ... under your control (see chart and photos in right hand column).

.Korean Hand Reflex Therapy

Note that the Conception Vessel (CV) Meridian runs down the center finger. In Korean Hand Therapy this is the extra Meridian from which the other 12 are situated or located or referenced. Locate the CV1 or (as it is known in KHT) A1 on the bottom of the hand. These points are extremely small reflexes are worked with the fine ball on the end of the Stainless Steel Acupressure probe.

The CV1 (a special full body merididan which runs down the center of the body from the lower lip to the scrotum) point on the main body meridian (aka the Well Point) can be easily and effectively treated (in conjunction with the A1 on the hand) with self-help using the Reflex Beamer I-1c. Please note in the photo below that the prone or reclined position is necessary in order to expose CV1 to therapeutic infrared radiation. Dr. Long - who conceived this position as best for self-application - volunteered to demonstrate his technique. In a private self-treatment session you can expose and easily target CV1, located between the rectum and the scrotum or vagina, without the hindrance of clothing. CV1 been shown over the centuries to be an excellent point for increasing your life force/energy through its tonification of the Kidney. It also regulates menstruation and refreshes the Mind.

Note the Beamer I-1c is tied to a brick for
stability and the level of heat is controlled
by a Rheostat held in the right hand.

Note that CV1 is located between the rectum and
the bottom of the scrotum as illustrated above.
Specificity is not necessary when using
non coherent infra red light.

Photobiomodulation of CV1 will have a profound effect on itching of the perineum, hemorrhoids, seminal emission, enuresis, irregular menstruation, pro lapse of uterus, infantile convulsions, convulsions, schizophrenia and many other benefits that accrue from the systemic effect of chemilumenescense of the red blood cells. Enjoy these and other health benefits in the comfort of your own home. Reflex Beamer I-1c is especially suited to this application due to its vertical column of light projected onto the target area which concentrates the rays where they are needed. "I am taking preventive measures to keep my prostate in shape as I continue to age. At 74-years I need to become serious about regaining and then maintaining my health or get ready to endure a premature death. I don't want to wait till they tell me I am dying with prostate cancer: like they had to tell my good friend," exclaimed Dr. Long during his demonstration for these photos.
