Sometime between the year 2000 and 2008, my MD introduced me to Tom Woloshyn who performed a technique called VitaFlex and changed my health and life forever. I subsequently studied and learned the technique as detailed in Stanley’s book, Healing for the Age of Enlightenment.
Tom, a long-time student of Stanley Burroughs, developer of VitaFlex, told me this story as it was told to him by Stanley. Around the year 1928/29 Stanley had a vision and saw himself performing a unique massage technique using touch on one part of the body to make changes in a totally different part of the person’s body. In his mind’s eye he could even see charts showing which points were interconnected. Later Stanley encountered some Tibetan Lamas who recognized the technique he was using and told him it had been used in Tibet for over 5000 years.
Stanley called the technique VitaFlex. As Tom explained, “The word reflex is derived from reflexive, meaning “to direct back onto one’s self”. A person who does Vita-Flex is activating the inborn system of bodily reflexes to correct or balance the body by its own natural means.” The VitaFlex movement can be performed on multiple areas of the body, including the arms, hands, feet, scalp, and shoulders.
After Gary Young’s logging accident, he became acquainted with Stanley and learned Stanley’s VitaFlex protocol. Always the pioneer, Gary modified the technique to incorporate essential oils, applying them to the spinal reflexes on the feet. I suggest you read this in its entirety before attempting and relax knowing it is much easier to perform than it is explain and read. If you have questions, feel free to contact me on fb.

Energetically we receive with our left hand and give with our right. With Gary’s technique, you begin by placing the oil in your left hand (receiving).
1. Hold your desired bottle of oil at least 3 inches above your left palm and allow 3 drops to fall into your left hand.
In the human body both the cardiovascular and digestive systems move in a clockwise direction as does our DNA. Due to the meticulous growing, harvesting, processing, and distilling of Young Living oils; the Vital Life force in the plant remains in the oil even after it is bottled and stored. In the bottled environment the Life Force energy is in a state of suspended animation until it is released from the bottle. Upon release, stirring the oil in a clockwise direction aligns it with our biological system’s movements.
2. Using the fingertips of your right hand, stir the oil 3 times in a clockwise direction.
On the bottoms of the feet are reflex points that, when stimulated, affect every aspect of our physical body. If in your mind’s eye you superimpose a picture of the human body upon the feet with the head aligned to the big toes and the bottom of the trunk aligned to the heels of the feet you have a general idea of which parts of the foot reflex to the anatomy. Unlike some other techniques you may have encountered, Gary’s technique calls for the right hand to work with the right foot and the left hand to work with the left foot.
3. Place the pad of your right pointer finger on the inside anklebone on the right foot; then move your pointer finger downward until you reach the edge of the foot at the approximate point where the arch and the heel meet. This is the reflex point for the lower part of the spine.
4. Allow your remaining finger pads to come into contact with the edge of the arch with your thumb resting comfortably on top of the foot.
This is not a pressure technique. It is an energetic/electrical technique. The premise is that slight pressure applied to the body by a rolling motion of the finger pads, tips and nails creates an electrical charge that is therapeutic in nature. This piezoelectric charge works much like an electrical light switch. The charge produced, travels along energetic pathways until it comes to a gap in the pathway where it then repairs the break that is causing an imbalance in the body. By using essential oils with this technique, you are sending customizable messages via the piezoelectric charge. How cool is that????
5. Begin a rolling motion; roll from your finger pads onto the tips of the fingers and then continue to roll the fingers over so the back of the nail is in contact with the skin(pad-tip-nail)and back to the pads.
6. Move pads ever so slightly in the direction of your little finger and repeat the pad-tip-nail process until you have moved off the tip of the big toe.
Repeat the entire process on the left foot.
