How many of you experience foot pain? Or headaches? Or even high levels of stress? (If none of the others, we know most of you reading can say yes to the stress question). What if we told you that they could be all connected? Moreso, what if we told you they can all be alleviated with one approach?

Reflexology!

We could go on and on about government ran studies about the many things reflexology can help alleviate. We not here to try and convince skeptics that will refuse every bit of facts we have to support it, we are here to relay the information we see from our sessions. With real testimonials from our own clientele, reflexology has shown improvement from people with plantar fasciitis pains, vertigo, neuropathy, headaches, anxiety, muscle relaxation, and so much more. But what is it?

“Reflexology, an integrative health practice, maps a reflection of the body predominantly on the feet, hands, and outer ears. It uses unique manual techniques to deliver pressure to neural pathways assisting the body to function optimally.”

In laymen’s terms, it is a touch-based practice that utilizes the bodies own communication pathways to achieve blood flow regulation, nervous system balancing, and relaxation through palpation (or massage). In dealing primarily with the hands and feet, many of our clients come in for pains in those areas, but leave noticing other parts of their bodies feeling better as well. The study of reflexology identifies imbalances in the body through a correlating map on the hands and feet. Meaning if there is discomfort in an organ or body part, it can be found in the corresponding reflex point on your hands and feet. If there’s tension, inflammation, or tenderness in your body, there’s a good chance a trained reflexology will be able to not only find it from your feet, but can help bring alleviation to it as well.

This year was busy for Life By Seasons! Tons of events, lots of appointments, and most importantly, a deeper connection to community. As we continue to help others feel into their best selves and passionately grow in what we love best, we see more and more new faces join our social media page. So today, meet our team.

My name is James, and I’m a co-owner of this wonderful business. It’s hard for me to even call it a business because it feels like a passion. It’s always been a mission of mine to help people BE their best selves. My path has taken me through the western medicine world of nursing, caregiving, and behavioral therapy clinic spaces. I’ve spent most of my life diving into the spiritual realms of meditations, reiki, and qigong. And I’ve always ended up searching for a community to call home to be able to grow into and feel I’m an important part of. It’s in taking all of these stepping stones that I realized health isn’t a linear path like most of the western world of medicine makes it seem. That we have multiple areas of health that help us become “well” as humans. In my studies I found that reflexology and other eastern healing modalities can merge well with ALL of my collective practices. It’s here where I found my clients became their best selves: when I actively engaged them in all areas of their life, not just how I can make symptoms disappear.

And so, I put lots of different techniques into my work. Some call me a reflexologist, some call me a reiki master/teacher, some just call me James. Whatever you call me, I’m happy to be another human alongside you that co-creates your future with you. That can be accomplished through using reflexology to help alleviate physical ailments like plantar fasciitis, headaches, or neuropathy. It can be accomplished through helping create a structured plan to feel better in your mental space with the life coaching I offer. Or it can be accomplished through energy work to help retune your energetic field and help bring a feeling of clarity to your body. Most of the time, without clients realizing, they receive all of these approaches in one session. But if you’re not sure how either of them work, come message me directly or find more descriptions of my services on our website.

Whether you’re a regular in our clinic space, have seen us at some of our events, or are meeting us for the first time through this post, come say hi! We always love meeting new people and hearing your stories. It’s an opportunity to become more grounded in our work as wellness practitioners to know who and how the people are in the community we serve. We continue to study all we can to help people feel physically, mental/emotionally, behaviorally, spiritually, and socially better, but at the end of the day, none if it matters if it isn’t helping YOU become better. So come in and get to know us!

Our New Moon in Sagittarius reflective journaling prompts are coming together quite nicely! We put a lot of intention and effort into building the structure of these journaling circles so you can gain the most benefit from them each time.

Here is one of several journal prompt options we will be presenting at tomorrow's circle. Will you be there?

Today’s meditation is a style of guided visualization that can help us process emotions in combination with addressing our limiting beliefs. Using meditation to get to know our Inner Child can be helpful in revealing pieces of us we may have forgotten, as well as in giving us clues on how to resolve hurts or hang-ups we can’t presently understand why we’re stuck in.�� We get the opportunity to examine old emotions or outdated stories and make peace with ourselves as a little one.

As we begin, take a few deep breaths and get comfortable for a while. Check in with your chakras if you first feel inclined. When you’re comfortable, take a moment to imagine yourself back when you were a child. Just observe them for a few seconds: their hair, their eyes, their age, the clothes they wear… Notice their demeanor, their attitude, their fidgets, or their expressions. What draws their attention? What scent is around them? How engaged do they feel?

��A few more deep breaths. Three or four as you slow yourself down. Next to the child, you notice a storm cloud roughly their size. As you look closer, you notice the cloud holds old feelings and memories from the time you were around this age. The child and you peer in together. Maybe you’re seeing within the storm cloud flashes of the feelings and memories, snapshots and mini movies from your childhood at this current age. Maybe the cloud is quiet and you and your Inner Child can only feel the stormy emotions and their heaviness. See if you can name any of the emotions individually with the child.��

The Inner Child begins sharing stories about each one of the memories or emotions as they pop up in the cloud to help you make sense of their world. Take a while to understand they only knew as much as you had learned by their age, and they were still creating their Rules for safely Being in the world. Maybe based on one emotion you spotted in the cloud, this child creates the story “Somehow I’m Always too Late for the Things I Want.” Maybe based on another, they write you a story called “People Must Be Hard to Trust.” Or perhaps based on a mini movie memory scene, the Inner Child creates the rule for you both that “We are Not Good Enough for [That],” only to find out later the “That” applies to many things.

These are simply examples. Take a moment to experience your child’s own storm cloud.

Sit for a handful of breaths and notice what your Inner Child points out as you look at it together. What stories do you notice they stay focused on?
��When we’re stuck in an emotional area of our lives or stuck hearing one of these stories ourselves, our Inner Child is trying to remind us how we've historically had to live in the world. There was a point in your life where Inner Child’s stories we well-meaning and kept you safe, but some stories grow tired over time and no longer are healthy for us to play into. �

With your Inner Child's good intentions in mind, take a deep inhale and thank them for paying attention & writing their stories to keep you safe. Share that you admire their brave efforts, or that you like how quickly they think on their feet. Acknowledge how good they were at keeping you alive and safe when they needed to, and allow them to relax and prepare to let go of one of the old stories.

��Give your Inner Child a hug, and together, release the heaviness of one old story. Say the story’s name one more time, thank it too, and wish it goodbye with the child. Sit with your inner child for a few moments more, and be open to anything they might say, express, give, feel, or ask. Thank the child once more, respond in kind, & send them merrily on their way, ready to learn better stories. ��

Massage Therapy can look a lot of different ways. In fact, we often tell our clients there are as many styles of bodywork and massage therapy as there are people who practice it. This is why we'd like to clarify the type of work we do.

As a mindfulness and connection-based practice, we focus our sessions on slow, incremental change. We believe this slower, layered approach to massage is more sustainable and easier for the mind and body to process and integrate, as we are giving the tissues time and space to respond before doing deeper work. Our massages also approach the body as a whole system, paying attention to the lymphatic system, nervous system, emotional responses, breath, holding patterns, connective tissues, AND muscles to make sure we understand the whole story your body is wanting to share with us each session.

Your comfortability and effective care are our top priorities, and going slowly helps us build a relationship based in genuine care and safety, as well as a unique understanding of your system's needs, which will evolve and change over time. We also love that this slower pace gives us time to chat and learn about you over the course of a few sessions, because we value the opportunity to make your sessions as human and personalized as possible.

If you're ready to try a more personal approach to massage and receive bodywork that evolves and changes as you do, come give us a try. We would be overjoyed to see you.
