Padaveda translates as “knowledge of the feet”. This knowledge arises from the ancient science of Ayurvedic Medicine. Padaveda blends Ayurvedic insight and wisdom with basic reflexology principles to discover a new way of interpreting the feet, to discover a new way of approaching the feet.

On day one, you will create greater awareness of how truly wholistic your reflexology treatment is. As a reflexologist you hold the whole being in the palms of your hands. So every technique you use, every movement you make ripples through and connects with the whole being on all levels of being. This understanding will be explored and you will become conscious of what level of being you are connecting with. Perhaps this will change the whole dynamic of your treatment as you make more conscious selections of techniques in order to resonate with the emotions, the subconscious mind, the intellect or intelligence, the ego and even the soul.

Ayurveda has a unique way of understanding the body, in that it analyses the state of the underlying intelligences behind the structures, behind the body functions, behind the organs, glands and tissues.

From day two to five you will gain a deepening of understanding of body’s basic underlying intelligences and signs of their imbalance in the body and an understanding that these intelligences are located in different sites in the body and as such are also reflected in the feet.

Therefore you will explore:
• another map (perhaps you will interpret the feet a little differently)
• another approach to the feet – working on the imbalanced intelligences themselves.
