From foot to palm, Hand Reflexology 从脚至手掌,手部病理按摩


Here's a Hand Reflexology Chart that I had recently found. Same as foot massage, you just need to massage the parts of the palm associated with related organs so as to improve blood circulation.

For Foot Reflexology, read Massage the parts where it hurts! and The Health Handbook of Pathological Massage.

Want a Divorce? Read this. 要离婚?请先阅读本文 。

I came by an interesting article, which I found rather informative for those who has the idea of divorce in mind, prepares to get married, or plans to involve in a serious relationship.


“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.

So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Remember love is the richest of all treasures. Without it there is nothing; and with it there is everything. Love never perishes , even if the bones of a lover are ground fine like powder. Just as the perfume of sandalwood does not leave it, even if it is completely ground up, similarly the basis of love is the soul, and it is indestructible and therefore eternal. Beauty can be destroyed , but not love.  "

Try to find a solution before going for the "road of no return". There's nothing cannot be solved, only things that not wanted to be solved.


Wish you all have a loving relationship,

For: the Underdogs 至:被看扁的朋友们

We have been been teased, been looked down, been cast aside, been bullied, been suppressed, been forced to the corner by those who think that they are the top dogs. 

For how many times that it rains when we have no shelter,
For how many times that it shows when we have no warm clothing,
For how many times that we starve when we are penniless,

For how many times that people leave us when we need them the most,
For how many times that people cheat on us when we trust them by heart,
For how many times that people step on us when we are in our trough,

SO WHAT??! Despite all these,

we bravely march to our destination in the rain.
we warm up our hearts and keep our heads up.
we fill up our will and strength and keep moving on.

we still have ourselves.
we still have faith in people.
we still survive through the trough.

Are we defeated? NO, NOT THAT EASY. 

We, the underdogs, only know that:
For all the words that can be remembered, never remember the words "give up".
For all the words that can be forgotten, never forget the words "keep it up".

Underdogs, let's show and prove to the world that, the whole world can underestimate and step on anything and anyone, but not the us, the UNDERDOGS.

Cheers to those who always been bombarded by challenges but have been courageous and determined enough to continue the journey.

我们曾经那些自以为了不起的人戏弄看不起唾弃欺负打压压迫和逼到墙角。曾经有多少次,下雨的时候,我们没有地方避曾经有多少次,下雪的时候,我们没有御寒衣物,曾经有多少次饿了的时候,我们身无分文,曾经有多少次,我们最需要他们时他们却转身离去
曾经有多少次我们诚心相信时他们却以谎言背叛回应,
曾经有多少次当我们处于低谷时,他们却落井下石

那又如何??!尽管如此,


我们仍然勇敢地在雨中前进.
我们温暖我们的心,并抬头挺胸.
我们填补了我们​​的意志和力量,继续前进.

我们还有自己.
我们还会相信别人.
我们还是熬过来了.

我们被打败吗? ,没那容易。

我们这群被看扁的,只知道:


任何字句都可以被记住,唯有 放弃”不能记进脑里
任何字句都可以被遗忘,唯有坚持下去不能被忘

如果你失败了,

如果你一直挨打,

都不要紧.

最重要的是,

站起来再试一次. 因为胜利是有趣的,

但没人料到你会获胜,

那才是最棒的.

     ---无名氏

被看扁的朋友们,让我们展示和证明给全世界让他们知道,就算他们可以低估和打压任何东西任何人,但绝对不是我们这群被看扁的

在这向那些带着
勇气和决心面对挑战的朋友们致敬。
