Reflexology

I am not sure if I should post this here since it is not about a specific person or group (maybe it should be moved to etc?) but I learned some helpful things from the group about "rebirthing breathwork" last week and so I wondered if I could also get your thoughts on this other seemingly new age trend therapy . . .

I also notice that this seems to be practiced along with shamanism, reiki, etc., an awful lot. Is this another scammy therapy?

I'm guessing this was the wrong place to ask about this, based on the silence . . . sorry about that! Anyway, I can do my own investigating.

Oh, at times we're also operating on ndn time 
Issues like this are not the main field of what we do here, but of course altmed 'therapies' show up in our research as vendors of ceremonies often also sell such 'therapies'.

Anyways, I've got a few links for you:

This site also has a forum.

Any of these sites is a very good address to check altmed 'therapies' etc.
