Reflexology and “Our Best Friends’ Crisis” (ICR Newsletter/ICR Paws 🐾)

This article I contributed was published in ICR Newsletter September 2019.

Later that month the ICR conference took place in Anchorage, Alaska where #ICRPaws was introduced.

#ICRPAWS is a collaboration between One Minute Reflexology for Animals and ICR (Thank you, ICR). 

This is an invitation to pet parents to treat their pets to reflexology and to reflexologists to visit their local shelters and introduce stuff to the practice to support them in their efforts supporting animals, working together to support our best friends or perhaps participate in other ways. 

Please, note some reflexology at home is not comparable to a visit from your local reflexologist. 

Best wishes to all of us during this difficult time.  Thank you for your visit as always,

Birgit

YOUR Reflexology Break

We Stay Here for you ❤️.  Please Stay Home for Us! THANK YOU! 

This is for Anyone in need of a break during this difficult time be it  at work, at home, volunteering, in bed, seated, standing, et al., 

This is for: the medical community, the care givers, the food workers.  To use the words of Angela Merkel, “those who keep the shop running”. 
This is also for everybody else who does not have the luxury of staying within the comfort of their home or who is volunteering.

Thank you for your visit as always, best wishes to all of us during this difficult time.
   
A few mindful breaths can at times allow for more ease...

 About sharing this practice: 

Anyone is welcome to avail themselves of this simple self touch hand reflexology break having a subtle impact on the entire body and giving your deserving hands some TLC.

Please, feel free to use this as you see it fit.
It can be beneficial to return our focus to our body regularly if somehow possible perhaps during this difficult time.
