Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Rebecca Heric. I'm here at Everything Peaceful in Wilmington, North Carolina, to talk about Reflexology techniques. These techniques that I'm about to show you can be used either on the hands, the feet or the ears, which is where all reflexology is done. There's a couple of techniques. The first one is called thumb walking and this one you just inch your thumb along and a little inch worm pattern, focusing on the crystals beneath your fingers. And you can just go along all the different pathways or use it any direction that you want focus a deeper pressure on. Another technique is called finger walking and that's also just moving along the different meridians, the different areas of the foot that you want to focus on, to focus on those crystalline blocked up areas of the foot. You can also do gliding strokes reflexology, focusing on the spine area and that would be just to use a gliding stroke up that area that's used, when you don't want to use as much pressure. And then an example of the finger walking would be along the shoulder area here, like that. And again you can use those same techniques on the hands or on the ears, wherever is applicable for you. And those are some reflexology techniques."
