How do your Feet Feel?

How many of us pay regular attention to the condition of our feet?

Unfortunately for the feet, not many of us! The condition of your feet has a definitive effect on the health of your body; including absorption, elimination, your metabolism, energy utilisation and simply how you feel. There’s is a reason for this.

It just so happens that located on the sole of your feet are reflex points (energy buttons) for all of the body’s inner and outer parts. In particular, there is a power-point located just around the tendon that rises up when you lift your big toe around the middle of the foot . This point relates to the kidneys.

The kidneys have numerous functions to perform in the body, with the most common and understood function being the filtering of waste products that are excreted in the urine. A not so well known function of the kidneys is to store and distribute spiritual energy, or ancestral chi. People don’t die of disease; people die because their batteries are flat. And the kidney's are like a big battery, powering your body.

So if you move with a "heavy foot", lighten up! A favourite positive affirmation I use when I walk or run is,

"I am as light, as a butterfly,
my feet barely touch the ground"

Regularly soaking your feet (and your body for that matter) in Epsom Salts will have a positive effect on how you feel. When you dry your feet off, rub some grape seed oil with a couple of drops of peppermint oil mixed in onto them.

Finish off by rolling your feet over a tennis ball for 10-20 minutes, making sure you get into all the sore points, then before you go to sleep, affirm to yourself how good you will feel in the morning. And as surely as Bobs your uncle, you will.

Look after your feet people and keep well.
