PAIN

PAIN  “Move your finger”

Many people, after the end of the session, complain of excessive pain during the session. But the problem is a bit more complicated than the way most people interpret it. This is because it is the structure of the human body that causes all the information related to pain or pleasure to travel to the brain through the same neural channels. The problem is that the intensity of any emotion in each individual person is subjective. Under this perspective, we can define pain as a subjective, unproductive emotion. Any form of reflexology has to work with one of the most sensitive parts of the human body, which are the nerves. But one cannot use any anesthetic.

That is why (and Participating Reflexology but also the Mouth-therapy) at the same time must create a sense of pain and pleasure together, a kind of giddiness that from within us, activates the knowledge of self-healing. This is where the sufferer also participates. Recognizing and adjusting the intensity of pain he wishes to accept he simply wiggles one finger. So the Reflexologist sees and fully recognizes to what point he must press in order to achieve the perfect balance between pain and pleasure. Too many people, although they are in a lot of pain (and it is obvious), avoid moving their finger, because, as they explain after the end of the session, they want to see their resistance to pain. For me, there are two types of pain. Productive pain and unproductive pain. Where the limit lies between them, only the sufferer can recognize the difference, by shaking his finger.
