The original flow overview
Our face is how we greet the world, and it is also subject to a tremendous amount of stress. So much stress and tension is stored in the face. Similar to reflexology with the hands and feet, there is a fractaling effect. Stress in the face will fractal out and effect all of the body. If you look into it, certain parts of the face are connected to certain parts of the body. The same goes for the hands and feet in reflexology. It is truly fascinating. This flow is meant to release tension from the face and have you smiling from feeling better.
