It was ‘feet first’ for the members of Llangynog WI at their March meeting, where guest speaker, Chris Perkins, talked about and demonstrated the technique of self-help Reflexology. Chris explained how this therapy is used to balance the body energies through the reflexes in the feet, and how it can be an effective way of relieving pain and stress.

Our chairman for the evening, Anne Hill, had the pleasure of Chris demonstrating on her, enabling members to see just how it should be done. It was explained that reflexology can be effectively used on the hands and other parts of the body too, including the ears!

Reflexology used on hands and feet

The talk was followed by a hands-on session (literally), when members massaged each other’s feet and hands.

A tasty supper, provided by hosts, Anne Evans and Anne Saunders, was enjoyed by a thoroughly relaxed and ‘chilled-out’ group of WI members.

The competition ‘prettiest soap presentation’ was won by Val Atherton, who also won the raffle prize, which included a pair of fingerless mittens... Useful when massaging on a cold day perhaps?
