SUCH A STUNNING SUNSET HERE IN THE SOUTH

31/08/2026

Just as physical exercise challenges a muscle and, with time, makes it stronger, so each challenge to our vision can strengthen what I call our ‘visualisation muscle’. The more consistently we hold a clear picture of what we want to achieve, despite the circumstances around us, the stronger our ability to visualise—and ultimately to move towards—the life we imagine.

HARNESSING THE ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL OF REFLEXOLOGY

One of the most common complaints I have received over the years is from people who are disappointed with the reflexology treatment they received, as it was too light, never that it was too hard.

This is a subject that I have covered a number of times. However, the focus of this article is whether a more painful or sensational treatment brings about a more positive therapeutic outcome.

To understand this, I need to define what I mean by pain. Importantly, in my view, a treatment should be administered with authority, not brutality. The pain or sensation should be experienced by the recipient as a sweet pain or a good hurt, as some people describe it.

The problem is that, because the techniques, purpose, and recognition of reflexology have largely evolved into something akin to a gentle foot massage over the years, the subject of this article may not be understood by those who are relatively new to the therapy.

The techniques of classical reflexology were based on ‘working out’ a reflex. This was achieved through sustained contact on the disturbed reflexes.
Put simply, this sustained action reminds the nervous system that something is out of balance in the body, thereby harnessing the body’s healing processes to produce the appropriate biochemical responses needed for healing.
 From an electrical perspective, applying sustained pressure to a disturbed reflex sends an electrical message to the brain, which responds by sending the appropriate level of current to stimulate healing.
Also, when the disturbed reflexes are treated in this way, and in a sequential order, the pain (or sensation) experienced will gradually change into a therapeutic, strangely relaxing, and stimulating sensation.

Although a gentle oil-based massage of the feet may be relaxing and valuable, it will not produce the type of response described.

THE BIOELECTRIC MATRIX
The circulation of life

As your fingers and thumbs move over the feet, are you aware of the process that produces the physiological effects of reflexology? In other words, how do the pressures and structural mobilisations performed during a treatment produce a response?
I became aware that each client had an individual response to reflexology, which was based on the tone and texture of their reflexes.

From this, I am able to determine at the initial consultation how a new client would respond to treatment; sometimes I would explain that reflexology would not be effective for them; this, after all, is the purpose of a consultation.
(This does not apply to the type of reflexology, which is more of a pampering or ‘spa’ type, where every client can be treated to induce a relaxation response).

It was after a ‘Road to Damascus’ moment that I realised we need to view reflexology from an electrical standpoint to gain a deeper understanding.
The flow of electrons through the body’s cellular matrix is continuously modulating. The techniques applied, in conjunction with pressure and continuous flexing of the feet and ankles, help amplify the body’s electrical circulation.

‘One could take a fantastic voyage from the farthest Schwann cell output in the big toe, through the spinal cord and into all parts of the brain. Indeed, electrons are making this trip every moment of our lives.’
- Dr Robert Becker.
This is part of an extensive subject, which I shall expand upon in future articles.

Artist Moosky.
I am an anonymous artist who is fighting against the creation of our ever-increasing dystopian society.
My most recent project is to create paintings that will send positive messages to all. To really think about our values and the impact of our choices on the world.
For any art I sell, all proceeds will be donated to Yogift, a charity that supports orphanages in India. These children are often abandoned by their parents, leaving them vulnerable to s*x trafficking and those who abuse them. Please help me to help them. Follow me and share my work.

DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

It was a bright early-spring day in 1982 and my trusty Citroen 2CV was hurtling (as much as that is possible in a 2CV) along the A23 in the UK on the way to Brighton, a popular town on the south coast.
My passenger was Dwight Byers (nephew of Eunice Ingham).

The purpose of our journey was through an invitation from BBC Radio Brighton to be interviewed while giving the presenters a treatment.
At that time, reflexology was something of a Cinderella therapy, and as they smirkingly described it, something that bored housewives did. It was obvious they were expecting a foot pamper, or a toe tickle, as they described it.
Instead, they experienced something else - pain, not pain of the brutal type, but therapeutic (or sweet pain as the Chinese call it).

Their smirk quickly changed to one of surprised shock. They became totally absorbed with what they were experiencing and related this to the listeners.
Due to the volume of listener responses, it was decided to extend the interview and include live phone callers. After a break for the news, we carried on the session, answering listeners’ questions.

We could have gone on much longer, but since that was not possible, it had to be brought to a close.

After the interview, Dwight and I went for lunch, where we met a local journalist who wanted to interview us for an article.
After finding a vacant seat outside, the interview took place with the journalist’s feet in Dwight’s hands - a painful yet magical experience, as he described it.

This scene soon attracted throngs of people, all clamouring for a share of the action, with as many as possible receiving short ‘sample’ treatments from us and all wanting to know where they could receive this treatment.
Dwight always said that a busy practice could be developed virtually anywhere by using the hands and fingers in a positive and focused way.
After this, on board the trusty 2CV, we zipped to Gatwick airport and from there to South Africa to teach and climb Mt Kilimanjaro between seminars.
