So we are supporting your hormones today,
Helping to find balance.
Helping to regulate them.
So that you can live life with greater ease and peace no matter what you're going through.
You may be struggling with PMDD,
PMS.
Maybe some thyroid imbalances,
Whatever is going on in your world.
Whether we know what it is or not,
Sometimes we just sense things might be a little off,
We might be struggling,
We might be harder than usual,
And we just need that support.
So let's start with some reflexology.
Let's warm up our hands.
Just gently bringing in that sense of touch and care.
Welcoming them to this practice.
Touching every surface of your hand and doing a little massage to warm them up.
Working on each finger.
It's a lovely way to wake up the body.
And as we do this we're really touching all of the reflexology points so just that awareness it's like we're getting a nice Full body.
Gentle,
Loving touch right now.
Maybe bringing an intention for yourself in this practice.
Really rubbing into your palms,
Using your thumbs,
You can kind of dig in.
See if there's any tender or sore spots,
Any tension.
And we're going to start the practice with the pituitary gland.
Which is the master gland in the body.
So choose either hand,
Left or right.
And simply in the center of your thumb.
I have a little marker here showing you where the pituitary gland is.
Find the spot in the center of your thumb,
And I grasp it from the front and back,
Applying pressure to the center of the pad of your thumb.
Energetically,
This is where our trust and our wisdom lies.
Can we surrender and open to that inner wisdom,
That inner knowing that you do have?
On the physical aspect.
It signals the other glands like the thyroid and the adrenals to release hormones.
So it really begins here in the pituitary gland.
We'll move to the other side,
The other thumb,
Center of the pad.
Applying that gentle pressure.
Just enough so you can feel it.
Nice grip.
Opening to your wisdom.
And letting energy flow into your brain.
Like the conductor of your hormones sending love to that conductor.
Take some deep breaths when we're holding points.
Letting your breath be a catalyst.
For that connection.
For that balance and that response in the body.
Beautiful.
And we're going to come into the thyroid area.
Again,
It doesn't matter which hand we're on,
And there's a little band kind of around the base of the thumb here.
So we're going to massage the base of the thumb on both sides.
This is our thyroid.
And I think of throat chakra expression,
Speaking our truth,
Not holding back.
Massaging that point,
That area.
You might feel tension or like you're rolling over a ligament here if it's tight.
Be gentle with yourself.
This is just on the front of the Base of the thumb.
Right over those kind of bony protuberances that pop out.
Letting you activate your truths.
And feel a sense of freedom and expression.
So this supports our metabolism and also our levels of energy.
So switching hands.
If you're feeling fatigued,
Exhausted,
Or like.
.
.
Your systems in overdrive,
Maybe moving too quickly and also leading to exhaustion.
Welcoming that warm energy into your life.
Beautiful.
And now we're going to locate our adrenal glands.
I'm doing both sides.
And so I love to kind of follow the pointer finger down and the thumb,
Creating a triangle.
Into the fleshy part here.
Between those two fingers like a big strong muscle is what it feels like.
Here at the tip of that triangle at the base is our adrenal gland which is located above the kidney.
So pinching again,
Applying pressure from the front and the back.
That's a nice way to pin down the point.
And really trust that you're on the point.
Sometimes you just have a gut feeling like,
Yeah,
This feels right.
Trust that.
Energetically,
This is our ability to let go of negativity,
Fear-based decisions,
Thinking,
And living.
And really surrender to the flow of life.
Accepting things as they are.
Bringing in that warm acceptance into your body.
Beautiful.
I'm going to locate it on the other hand as well,
So finding that tip of the triangle there,
A good fleshy point.
Maybe a little bit tender.
This helps to reduce our cortisol levels,
Manage our stress overload.
Which disrupts our hormones.
Yeah,
When our cortisol levels are out of control and our Stress is high.
Disrupts our hormones and what's being released.
Just taking some deep breaths in here and sending this love to your adrenals.
Releasing any fear-based thoughts or feelings we can get stuck in.
Finding a deeper space of gratitude.
Beautiful.
We're going to go to the sexual organs now.
I'm going to start with the ovaries and the testes.
So to find this point,
To palpate this point,
We'll find the base of our wrist bones,
We can kind of feel bony protuberance sticking out there,
And then a tendon here,
A flexor tendon along this edge and we're nestling right into the groove in between.
Kind of feels like this dip.
So finding a dip with your finger.
This little corner we can.
.
.
Cozy into.
And we don't need too much pressure here.
So this is,
If you're on your left hand,
It's your left.
Overy,
Testy,
And same with the right.
Energetically.
This point for both is about the birthplace of our dreams and if we're struggling in holding our dreams back,
Not even allowing ourselves to dream.
We can find issues and imbalances here.
And we'll move to the other side,
Finding that nice little dip.
And applying some gentle pressure here.
And these are very important for hormones.
Our ovaries producing,
Making the estrogen and the progesterone.
And the testicles making testosterone.
Supporting our libido and actually many other hormones.
So just sending love there.
You can bring your awareness.
To these organs in your body.
Bring an openness,
A receiving energy.
Reducing any tension or any pent up,
You know,
Wound up energy around these.
Letting it feel nice and open to the flow.
And our final point that we're going to do Very similar to the last,
Just on the inner side here.
So following on the thumb side instead of the pinky side.
Again,
Finding the groove.
We have a wrist bone above and a little bit of a tendon here,
Another flexor tendon.
Finding the point where your finger just melts in,
Where it feels called to go.
And this is our uterus for females.
And this is our prostate for those with the male organ.
Energetically when I think of uterus,
I think of womb energy and allowing our dreams to come to reality,
Allowing our dreams to be birthed.
And same with the prostate.
Representing that birthplace of our dreams.
The catalyst that gets them going,
The energy we put in.
Also where testosterone is processed.
Just bring your awareness there in your body to this area.
Sending some love.
And locating it on the other side,
That nice little groove where it just.
.
.
Naturally fits in there.
Kind of pushing gently into the tendon.
Feeling a little boner buff.
And taking some deep breaths,
Relaxing,
Letting the body do what the body does.
Finding balance.
Amazing.
Giving your hands a little hug together.
Holding hand in hand,
Clasping.
Letting the warmth there ignite within the palms.
Promoting circulation to the body,
Promoting energetic flow.
And openness.
Heat is that element of transformation.
So we welcome the heat and the fire.
Amazing work today supporting your hormones.
You can come to this practice at any time,
Revisit it,
And touch on these reflex points to support your system.
