I started using the music of Liquid Mind over ten years ago when I first became a Reiki practitioner. And since then, have never found anything better in allowing a client to fully relax and enjoy the benefits from my sessions.

Liquid Mind was created by songwriter and composer Chuck Wild.

When Wild started releasing the Liquid Mind albums in 1994, the first persons to use them were alternative health care practitioners, chiropractors, and massage therapists, followed soon by more mainstream medical practitioners who report utilizing the music in clinical situations to assist in relaxation.

Liquid Mind V: Serenity which is my own personal favorite, is a peaceful and soothing musical journey designed to help you relax deeply during meditation, massage, yoga, rest, or in times of stress. For many, it is a wonderful background for massage, meditation, healing, yoga, Pilates, Reiki, shiatsu, or reflexology.

The fifth in Liquid Mind’s elegant electronic series of slow relaxation music, takes the listener to a place of deep calm and tranquility.

 This gentle album has been used by some people for things such as:

* relieving stress

*by parents to help quiet hyperactive children

*by insomniacs to assist themselves in going back to sleep in the middle of a difficult night

*by others to relieve tension after a busy day at work

So it is with great pleasure that I highly recommend the music of Liquid Mind.

If you would like to view the complete collection, and even sample it, please take a relaxing journey over to Liquid Mind.

Enjoy!

Many people have asked me where they can find quality grade, yet affordable essential oils.

Because I also use essential oils when sharing Reflexology and Reiki, I’ve tried many brands. Some were ridiculously way over-priced, while others were so low it made me question their quality.

Hands On Aromatherapy is a reputable online essential oil company located in Atlanta, Georgia that provides outstanding essential oils, at a reasonable price.

And what’s really great about this company is that they offer a wide variety of sizes to choose from.

Essential oils can be purchased in 5 mls. to 16 oz. bottles.

And breath in the AROMA!

Eight years ago when I was first certified as a foot reflexologist, I began searching for a portable recliner that I could use when making out-calls.

I needed something comfortable, compact, and durable.

One day I happened to walk into a Brookstone Store, where I spotted a fabulous looking recliner which I found out was made by a company called Lafuma.

Now what’s really interesting is that the recliner was not advertised as something for reflexology. It was actually a chair to be used for home use.

But after trying it out I knew it would be perfect, because it was absolutely one of the most comfortable portable recliners I’d ever sat in.

It was also the ideal height and width for administering a reflexology session.

So I made the purchase and couldn’t be more happier. And every client who sits in it immediately comments how wonderful they feel.

The cushion part of the chair is suspended from a metal frame with elastic woven cords, so it gives the feeling of “gentle buoyancy.”

The recliner also came with an adjustable headrest.

The chair easily reclines and returns to an upright position without any effort. And once reclined, the chair can be locked in that position.

What makes Lafuma recliners so special is something called Zero Gravity.

A zero gravity recliner is a chair that allows you to rest with your feet raised higher than your heart. By extending your lower legs and feet above your heart, the load on your spine is reduced, allowing your vertebrae to decompress after a full day of walking, standing, and sitting upright.

The recliner model I purchased (which is identical to the photo above), has a cloth padded seat, however, Lafuma also makes recliners in a special material for outdoor use.

So if you’re a foot reflexologist searching for a comfortable recliner that’s durable and portable, or even if you’re someone who simply wants a quality recliner for home use, please head over to Lafuma.

They have many models and colors to choose from with prices ranging from $129.99-$269.99.

You’ll find the investment well worth it.

 Enjoy your recline!

About six years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to manage a free-standing Origins store in Philadelphia.

And although I enjoy most everything that Origins offers in the way of skin care, hair care, and body care products, I found their foot care products to be superior to any other I’ve ever used.

There are five products within the line that can be used in pairs or individually.

*Foot Rest: Soothing foot soak
 
When your feet feel on fire from having been stuffed into shoes, pounded on pavement, or standing around too long, feel how invigorating Australian Eucalyptus dispels toxins while cooling Menthol ousts the ouch to put you on friendly footing again.

*Sole Searcher: Smoothing foot scrub
 
You’ll feel lighter on your feet as finely ground Lava Rock sloughs away rough and tough layers to smooth and soften thick-skinned soles.

*Reinventing The Heel: Mega-moisture for dry, cracked feet
 
This heavy cream soothes your soles with the richness of Rose Fruit and Jojoba Oils. Super-sloughing Salicylic Acid gets rid of pesky rough patches. Softening Shea Butter smooths cracks to put feet back on easy street. And tingly Menthol provides a refreshing kick.

*Step Lively: Energizing foot cream
 
You’ll be back on your feet with a spring in your step when exhilarating Mentha Piperita and stimulating Wintergreen travel across the “reflex points” in your feet to help channel energy throughout your body. Rose Hips Oil combats dryness to soften and smooth your feet.

*Leg Lifts: To rev up tired legs (this product is my personal favorite because it’s magical)
 
Nature’s cooling leg-lifters, including invigorating Menthol, Cypress, Peppermint and Cedarwood, tingle, tone and de-tense tired thighs and calves to add new glide to your stride.

*Origins can be found in selected department stores in your area.

So if you’ve been soul searching for quality and effective foot care products, please take your feet over to Origins…where you’ll discover a great deal of  Sole.

Enjoy!
