GUIDE TO FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY
Ensure the person receiving face reflexology is sitting comfortably, their shoulders and head must be supported. The best place to position yourself when doing face reflexology is behind the person receiving it e.g. if they are in a chair you are standing behind them. Don't stand in front of a person because they will be unable to relax with your body physically looming over them.
There are 15 points on the face that represent areas and systems within your body. By stimulating these points you're increasing circulation and balance as well as relaxing the person receiving reflexology.
Using one finger or thumb apply firm pressure on a face reflex point. Without lifting the thumb or finger slowly rotate the finger/ thumb so pressure is being applied in a circular motion. Do this on the same spot for fifteen to thirty seconds clockwise, and then fifteen to thirty seconds anti-clockwise.
Stimulate each face reflex one at a time, unless where there are two points on the face for the same organ/ area. Use the face reflexology chart below for direction. If you want to work a specific area of your body (eg chest area to help with a cough), use the diagram to determine which ones to do, however, this is called "doing the helper areas" and you can only do them after doing the whole face first.
Using both hands very gently tap (using tips of fingers) underneath the eyes (moving form nose to ears). Still using both hands gently rub the jawline from top of ears to chin. Use index fingers to rub chin for fifteen seconds. Using tips of fingers of both hands move up from chin, past the edges of the mouth and gently but firmly rub the cheeks in a circular motion for about thirty seconds. Still using tips of fingers/ thumb move upwards, over the nose onto forehead where eyebrows meet, rub along both eyebrows moving in an outward direction. Once fingers at outside end of eyebrows spread fingers evenly pull upwards over forehead all the way to hairline. Gently rub the hairline, scalp and all over the head.
Water is important because an increase in blood circulation means the body will get rid of waste quicker. Get the person receiving face reflexology a big glass of water.

GUIDE TO EAR REFLEXOLOGY
Consult your ear reflexology chart to find reflex points for any particularly issue you are experiencing so you can be sure to concentrate on those points during your session.
Sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room.
Pull your hair back if it is long or if it will interfere with your ear reflexology. Secure it with a clip or ponytail holder to keep it out of the way.
Start with your ear lobes of both ears. Squeeze the lobes lightly and pull them down - just a gentle tug downward, don’t pull so hard you experience pain.
Trace the outer edge of your ears up and around. Repeat this motion several times.
Identify sensitive areas on your ears, if any. Pay attention to any place on your ear that feels tender, sore or painful when you press or squeeze it.
Begin at the top of your right ear and slowly work you thumb and forefinger along the outer edges, continuing to the end of your earlobe. Apply pressure on the outer edge of your ear by gently squeezing and releasing every point along the ear. For best results, repeat this procedure at least five times. Go slowly and hold the pressure for at least five seconds before inching down to the next spot.
Repeat this process on your left ear.
Work the inner crevices of your ear, if desired, since there are many reflex points there as well. Professional ear reflexologists usually use a small, blunt stick to work those points because fingers are often too large to pinpoint a reflex.
