Hand reflexology is so important when we consider chair yoga. It is gentle and nurturing. At the same time it is also a powerful healing therapy for whole body health and wellness. It stimulates the nervous system. It works in unison with the body to help protect and correct the physical and physiological imbalances. By working on the various reflex points in the palms, it stimulates the lungs, neck, shoulders, spine, thyroid, abdomen, knees, hearing and sight and so on. It helps the stiff joints and poor blood circulation. Understand the reflex points before commencing the exercise. It helps to detect the reflex points and the corresponding organs and systems in our body.
Hand is easily accessible than foot. Once the pressure is applied to the point, the blocked energy starts dissipating. There starts the inner healing.
