A Lesson from Bubbles
Sometimes joy shows up when you try something new.
This morning was my first time making frozen bubbles.
I stepped outside in the freezing cold, not really knowing what would happen. After many attempts (and very frozen fingers), I watched these shimmering little worlds form right in front of me, filled with tiny crystal-like feathers.
Each one was beautiful.
Each one completely unique.
As I stood there trying to capture their fleeting beauty with my phone’s camera, I noticed myself smiling. I felt that quiet, childlike sense of wonder that can be easy to lose as adults if we don’t intentionally make space for it.
It got me thinking about life… and my reflexology practice.
Trying something new doesn’t always have to be big or brave.
Sometimes it’s small. Quiet. Simply showing up without knowing exactly what to expect.
Over the years, clients have shared things like:
• “I was afraid to try it because I thought it had to do with a certain religion.”
• “I thought it would hurt.”
• “I have ticklish feet.”
• “I didn’t know what to expect.”
• “I was hesitant because I’ve never tried it before.”
• “Can I really lie there for 45 minutes to an hour?”
• “How do I stop worrying about all the things I need to get done?”
All valid thoughts, and ones I hear often. I am happy to answer your questions and address your concerns.
Many of these same clients have come back time and again. I’ve had the privilege of watching their comfort grow and their willingness to try new things expand.
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how something will feel… or what it might offer… until you experience it for yourself.
Often, the benefits come through simply being open to trying something new.
Each reflexology session is its own experience.
Just like the bubbles, each one has its own patterns and its own beauty.
Some people notice how deeply they relax.
Others become more aware of their breath, their body, or how rarely they slow down.
Sometimes it’s simply the experience of being still, supported, and not needing to do anything at all.
It doesn’t look the same for everyone, and it doesn’t need to.
What unfolds often comes through presence… through allowing yourself to receive something unfamiliar without needing to analyze it, other than feeling the unique beauty in it for YOU.
Remember the bubbles. If you’re curious, reflexology is always here to explore when it feels right for you.
