Caring for Your Hands and Feet

Our hands and feet play important roles in our lives. Our hands help us with multiple tasks, they also have the tactile senses we appreciate when we touch the people and things we love. Our feet carry our weight and take us everywhere we go.

It may be that some people seldom think of their hands beyond pampering them with manicures. However, healers find their hands to be practical tools utilized in a variety bodywork/energy modalities including hand reflexology, massage, Shiatsu, and Reiki. Hands are also used in mudra hand gestures.

Reflexology, although commonly associated with foot massage, is also used in the manipulation of hands and ears.

Healloop, one of our healing members shares tea tree oil recipes for soaking solutions for hands and feet, fungal nail lotion, and fungal powder in the forums.

Being grounded or having awareness of your feet being planted firmly on terra firma and rooting your energies is an important process used for respecting your physical being and making a deeper connection to your spiritual being.
