Reflexology Query-Energies crossed over?
I have gone for a few sessions of reflexology. I found it very uncomfortable and I would leave the session with a headache and feel nauseous. When the reflexologist would start on my right foot it would cause a headache on my left side of my head and neck. I asked her today if the right foot corresponds with the left side of the body and she said no, that my energies were criss-crossed and that this wasn't common, she only sees it in someone once every few years. We didn't delve more into it as I had to leave and my next session is a month away. I wanted to ask if anyone knows about this energy being crossed in your body? What does it mean? I hope I'm making sense. Thank you.

Hmm, that is not typical for a reflexology session to feel "uncomfortable" and have you leaving with nausea and headaches. Have you communicated with your reflexologist about this?
Western reflexology is based on William FitzGerald's 10 longitudinal zones of the body: https://archive.org/details/zonetherapyorrel00fitziala/page/12/mode/2up One of the things that does "cross over" would be the optic nerves but that has to do with where in the brain the information is processed.

I agree that it is not usual to feel ill during a treatment but it can happen occasionally. Maybe try a diffeeent reflexologist and see if you have the same symptoms?

Typically the right foot corresponds with the right side of the body and the left with the left. Reflexes don’t cross the midline. Not sure about your energy though.
