Healing
with Reflexology

Teknik-teknik Relaksasi Refleksologi
Satu lagi perkara yang sangat penting dalam refleksologi adalah
bagaimana anda harus mendapat kepercayaan serta membuatkan
penerima merasa selesa sejurus sebelum anda memulakan sesi
refleksologi kaki. Oleh itu, teknik relaksasi direka untuk membuatkan
penerima merasa tenang dan selesa pada permulaan sesi rawatan.
Dengan menggunakan teknik-teknik ini akan melonggarkan
sebarang tekanan pada otot kaki dan menjadikannya lebih lembut,
fleksibel dan mudah diurut.
Biasakan diri anda dengan kesemua jenis teknik tersebut. Lakukan
setiap rawatan beberapa kali. Setelah memperoleh keyakinan, anda
mungkin boleh memilih beberapa teknik sebagai teknik kegemaran
anda. Anda juga boleh mencipta teknik anda yang tersendiri. Kuasai
kesemuanya sekali.
Sekiranya penerima berasa tertekan dan gementar, kedua-dua
perasaan ini akan disalurkan ke kakinya, menjadikannya lebih
sukar untuk diurut. Oleh sebab itulah, anda dinasihatkan agar
sentiasa memulakan rawatan dengan relaksasi kaki.
Pergerakan urutan sepatutnya lancar dan rhythematic serta
hubungan pergerakan tangan anda dengan kaki penerima
tidak boleh terputus-putus semasa mengurut..
