Breaking news! Brain Scan Research Confirms Reflexology Affects Multiple Areas of the Brain.
Recent research is building scientific evidence that reflexology creates specific, measurable responses in the brain — and may play a meaningful role in stroke rehabilitation.
Dr. Stefan Posse, a researcher at the University of New Mexico, presented groundbreaking functional MRI (fMRI) findings on the “Neural Pathways of Applied Reflexology” at the International Society for Medical Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Annual Meeting in Cape Town on May 12, 2026.

The research maps brain activity during foot reflexology to understand what happens in the brain in real time while reflexology was being applied and neurological impact in patients with stroke. Advanced MRI technology was used.

What They Found in Healthy People

Scans revealed distinctly different activation patterns for different reflex areas. Importantly, the brain responses weren’t limited to just the foot area of the brain — multiple regions were activated. One area that consistently responded was the supramarginal gyrus, a part of the brain packed with “mirror neurons,” which are linked to empathy, learning, and body awareness.

For the first time showed reflexology technique applied to different reflexology reflex areas activates different areas and networks of the brain in healthy controls and stroke patients.

What They Found in Stroke Patients

In people who had suffered a stroke, the brain activation looked different — more one-sided — and varied depending on whether the left or right foot was worked. Following the application of reflex stimuli, patients demonstrated increased two-point discrimination and improved sensorimotor function in their hemiplegic hands.

Who Is Behind the Research

The team is led by Dr. Posse and includes well-known reflexology educators Barbara and Kevin Kunz, graduate student Arthur Schoen, and researchers from the University of Minnesota.

What Comes Next

The team is now expanding the study to better understand the timing of brain responses during reflexology and to identify exactly which brain networks are involved in stroke recovery.

Deep down we know it’s true. This isn’t just about cell towers, or vaccines, or Epstein, or Roundup or greedy corporations or bad science. They’ve pulled us so far from the rhythms of the Earth that we’ve forgotten we ARE the Earth.

But here’s what I know. We’re not helpless. Not even close. The moment we remember that we’re made of sunlight and soil and sound and cycles, we start to turn the tide. We don’t have to burn it all down to fight back. We start by coming home to our body. To the Earth. To the ancient ways that never needed a charger or a software update.

Start your mornings outside. Get your bare feet on the ground even if it's just for five minutes. Let the sunlight hit your naked eyes before you ever look at a screen. That morning light is medicine. It tells your body it's safe. It sets your hormones right. It feeds your mitochondria and clears your head.

Want to know how we can fight back?

Turn off your Wi-Fi at night. Unplug the smart junk. You don't need your fridge talking to the internet. You don’t need Bluetooth in your pillow. You need quiet. You need dark. You need stillness when you sleep. That’s when your body does its holy repair work. Let it. Give it the chance.

Eat real food. Wild if you can. Simple. Unprocessed. Foods that don’t come with labels or barcodes. That aren't grown with glyphosate and haven't been tampered with, genetically. Drink clean water, not the stuff in plastic bottles, or coming from your tap. Get a filter if you need to. You are water, and your water is killing you, numbing you, making you sick.

Throw away your Tide. Your Crest. The air fresheners. The fabric softeners. The chemical soaps, shampoos, lotions, cleaners. They are toxic. They poison your body every single day. Your skin is your largest organ. It drinks in whatever you put on it. If it’s poison, and most of it is, it’s poisoning you.

Fast sometimes. It gives your system the rest it’s been begging for. Let the body burn through the gunk they’ve piled on us... and that we have willingly consumed. Fasting is how we empty out what doesn’t belong and make space for light to come in.

Build your house like a sanctuary. Use wood and stone and cotton and plants. Bring back incandescent bulbs. And candles. Wrap yourself in the things that breathe, like wool, cotton, silk, linen, h**p, and leather, and that don’t buzz and disrupt your electromagnetic field, like nylon, rayon, polyester and the other plastics do

Play music. In 432. Sing. Out of tune is fine. Hum. It resets your vagal nerve and calms you down.

Dance barefoot on the kitchen floor... Or better yet, barefoot in the grass!

These are not silly things. They’re how we recalibrate the field. Your field. The collective field.

Talk to your neighbors. Teach your kids. Share what you know with gentleness, not fear. The fear is theirs. They want us divided and panicked. But when we speak with love and clarity and calm, it cuts through the fog like a tuning fork. Be that tuning fork.

And don’t forget to laugh and cry and pray and rest. And look around and be grateful for all of the things you've taken for granted. All of it heals. All of it builds your frequency. When you’re in coherence, your body becomes a signal they can’t jam. Your cells remember how to sing. It's biology, man! It's physics! That’s REAL power.

Yeah. They’ve rigged the game. But we don’t have to play. We make our own game now. One rooted in Earth, the earth's food, light, breath, rhythm, love, and truth.

And the best part? It’s already inside us! It's already around us. Our mother is waiting with open arms, ready to support us, to provide for us. She is yearning to connect. She welcomes the prodigal son home.

Let’s walk it together, barefoot and fierce. Let's plant gardens and share our harvest. Its time for you, for me, to remember our power. It's time to step into our roles as creators. It's time for us to turn on our light. As I learned by living in the south for a lot of years, when I flipped the on shed light, the roaches would scatter! Darkness has no safety in light.

We came here for this time, beautiful souls.

Stand up.

Unite.

And, most of all...

Turn on your light and

LOVE!

Welcome to our New Earth! It's ours to create!

I am delighted to announce my return to full-time Reflexology practice after a temporary break in 2024, when I explored another opportunity while maintaining my mobile Reflexology services on a part-time basis. I greatly missed the interaction with my clients in my own treatment room, and I am excited to resume operations at my Muchea clinic. To celebrate my return, I am offering a one-hour Reflexology treatment for $60.00 until March 31st. Please contact me to schedule your appointment. 👣
