AN UNCANNY STORY

I gifted to my cousin a ticket to one hour of a reflexology massage (this kind of massage in which the practitioner can access to all the body by touching your feet).

The day she decided to go, she asked me to go with her, because we get on very well and we usually do things together, and because I had to pay for it. So I did, and while she was in the massage room I waited patiently reading magazines. One hour later, we came back home, she with a pleased face and me with a little less money in my wallet but with a little more knowledge of celebrities’ life.

I wanted to know how it was, so I asked her how do you feel when someone massages your feet, and she answered “well, it’s been very good, very relaxing, but I don’t know if it’s true that they can operate over the whole body, because the masseuse said that she felt something weird in my abdominal area, and she asked me if I have pain in my stomach or intestinal problems, and the truth is that I don’t”. So we walked home thinking that the reflexology massage is relaxing and makes you feel better only because they touch a very sensitive part of the body, the feet.

What was my surprise when, two weeks later, my cousin phoned telling me that she was five weeks pregnant.

Amazing story! I've heard similar things with reflexology and I think there must be some truth about it. After all Chinese medecine is the oldest of them all! And wisdom only comes with time.

Wow!! Nice one. I have a friend who works as a podiatrist. I'll ask her how do they find illness or weird things by massaging feet.
Keep on that great work on your blog :)

Well, it is curious. Coincidence or not? That’s the question. In fact, I know it’s possible to discover health problems touching your feet because (that’s what I have heard) all our nerves end in our feet.
A cousin of mine who had problems to get pregnant came to Barcelona to visit us and I prepare for her Japanese food. Some weeks later she was pregnant but I prefer don’t think about she got pregnant because of the Japanese food!!!

That was a very good present! I love reflexology! It really works!

Excellent text and very well written! You seem to have very few problems except with prepositions. Prepositions are the most difficult chapter, I think.

Have a look at my suggestions:

-and because I had to pay FOR it.

-but WITH a little more knowledge of celebrities’ life. (OR EVEN BETTER "A LITTLE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF...")

-when someone massageS your feet

I really like your story. I belive that people who practice the art of reflexology are able to detect some illness and certains changes of the body.
See you.

Yea, It's going very well. We have a book of reflexology at home and I use to have a big poster very useful, but one day the poster disappered. It was easier with the poster
A shame!
You should try to do it yourself, obviously it's not the same,but it's cheaper!
