Have you ever considered the spiritual origin of reflexology? While this practice has gained popularity in wellness circles, few understand its deep roots in Taoism and Buddhism—religions fundamentally opposed to the Christian worldview. As believers, we must discern the spiritual influences behind such practices before engaging with them.
What Is Reflexology and Where Did It Originate?
Reflexology is a practice rooted in ancient Eastern philosophy. Similar to acupuncture, it is believed that energy (referred to as chi or ki) flows through the body along meridians or channels. When this flow is blocked, sickness is allegedly said to occur. Reflexologists apply pressure to specific areas of the feet, believing it can clear these blockages and restore health.
The practice gained popularity in the West through Dr. William H. Fitzgerald in the early 1900s. He introduced the idea of “zone therapy,” dividing the body into ten longitudinal zones. Later refined by Eunice Ingham in the 1930s, she developed foot charts indicating which parts of the feet correspond to organs and systems in the body. From there, reflexology gained popularity and attracted high-profile followers, including Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher.
The Spiritual Roots of Reflexology
To understand reflexology's spiritual implications, we must explore its foundation in Taoism—a pantheistic religion that does not believe in a personal God. Taoism teaches that all things are permeated by Tao and its spirit, chi. This energy flows through twelve meridians in the body, categorized into YIN (female, passive) and YANG (male, active). Reflexology seeks to balance these energies to achieve healing.
This belief system denies the sovereignty of God and instead attributes life and healing to impersonal energy forces. The chi energy described in reflexology is spiritual in nature—and not the Holy Spirit. The Bible warns us not to participate in practices that invite demonic influence: “Do not give the devil a foothold” (Ephesians 4:27).
The Dangers of Hidden Spiritual Influences
Reflexology and other similar New Age therapies, such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, yoga, and therapeutic touch, promote philosophies that rely on manipulating spiritual energy for healing. These practices present a counterfeit healing that bypasses the need for Jesus Christ, the only true Healer.
Many Christians unknowingly expose themselves to demonic influence by participating in these therapies. Terms like “universal energy,” “magnetic fields,” or “natural vibrations” may sound harmless, but they camouflage spiritual deception. Behind these innocent-sounding practices lurk dark forces opposed to the Kingdom of God.
Diagnosis and Treatment According to Reflexology
Reflexologists claim they can diagnose illnesses by examining and pressing specific points on the feet. Sensitivity in a foot area allegedly indicates a problem in a corresponding body part. Treatment involves massaging those pressure points to remove energy blockages and restore health. But consider this: if healing doesn’t come from God, then where does it come from?
Even if temporary relief is experienced, the source must be examined. The enemy can offer counterfeit blessings to deceive and entrap. God’s Word reminds us that Satan can appear as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).
A Summary of Reflexology’s Spiritual Conflict
Rooted in Taoism and Buddhism – Reflexology shares its foundation with acupuncture, both depending on the flow of chi energy.
New Age Philosophy – Balancing YIN and YANG is a spiritual act that contradicts the truth of God’s Word.
Adapted to Western Appeal – The original 12 meridians were changed to 10 zones for compatibility with the foot’s anatomy.
Miniature Body Theories – The concept that your entire body is reflected in your feet is a Taoistic-Buddhistic belief.
Dangerous Rebranding – Terms like “magnetic rays” or “earth’s energy” mask the demonic nature of these influences.
How to Break Free Through Christ
If you’ve participated in reflexology or similar practices, it’s not too late. Jesus offers freedom and healing. Renounce any spiritual influence connected to reflexology, repent, and invite the Holy Spirit to restore you. Deliverance is available for anyone seeking to walk in freedom from New Age and occult ties.
