Combining meditation with foot massage starts from the complex interaction between mental and physical well-being. According to scientific studies, our mental state clearly affects our physical condition; vice versa. Mindful techniques help us to stimulate several healing processes in our body as we get or provide foot massages. While lowering cortisol levels, the main stress hormone, this twin method releases endorphins, our natural feel-good hormones. Comprising reflexology points and hundreds of nerve endings, the feet act as doors to complete-body relaxation. Focussing our attention on these sensations during meditation helps us to build a strong feedback loop that improves the mental clarity attained via meditation as well as the physical advantages of the massage.
