Circumspect on Circumcision

It is our belief that circumcision is received by the body as trauma. A dismembering of the genitalia, the act and response from the male (or female) leave an imprint of trauma within the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual cells and bodies. This can be seen as a baby's indoctrination to physical pain/abuse, by way of his/her sexual organ. Furthermore, it is our belief that this imprint can possibly result in a desensitized genitalia, contributing to challenges with satisfyingly giving and receiving pleasure during love making with a partner and in masturbation, rage, unhealthy romantic love partnership, fear of self-actualization.

According to the philosophy of Sexual Reflexology, the skin that is removed during male circumcision is connected to energy meridians of the spleen, stomach and pancreas, and the adrenal, thymus, pineal and pituitary in female. This additional information further supports that this surgery is a whole body, holistic experience, affecting every known and unknown aspect of the individual.

Repairing the physical and metaphysical consequences of circumcision, at any age, can be done. We find that essential oils and flower essences work exceptionally well with physically enlivening the genitals and supporting the individual in his/her emotional release and healing.

Reflexology: Safe, Gentle Approach to Assist Labor Induction and Balance Breastmilk Flow

It was found that by administering direct, gentle pressure in certain parts of the feet there was an effect in related areas in the body. The feet are a mirror ('reflexsion') of the body, hence Reflexology! By applying skilled and specific thumb, finger and hand techniques to these pressure points or reflexes, you have the opportunity to discover where pain and challenge may lie in the body and utilizing Reflexology to assist in addressing it.

Regarding labor induction, it is best to request after 40 weeks of gestation. At this time, the gentle method of Reflexology can be applied to assist in stimulating movement and encouraging labor. A trained and qualified Reflexologist, in partnership with mom and baby's intention, can apply this special technique to the area of the feet that correspond to the reproductive system.

The same safe and non-invasive approach can be used if breastmilk flow is a challenge, whether too little or too much. By administering Reflexology finger techniques to the pressure or reflex points that correspond to the mammary glands, a mother has the opportunity to unblock channels that may have interfered with the flow of her breastmilk, and, in the same vein, the technique can also slow down/balance the flow, if too abundant.

Assisting labor induction and balancing breastmilk flow with Reflexology can be accomplished in one or multiple sessions. Other factors may affect these concerns; they would also need to be addressed as part of the Reflexology protocol and/or with other wellness modalities, such as Aromatherapy, Herbal Care, Flower Essences and Energywork.
