Foot Reading Video 7-11-18

hello everyone so we are here on the foot whisperer reflexology Institute YouTube channel for a live foot reading video and we are pulling up the chat right now because this is a live event but one of the things that I forgot to do was plug in my microphone so while we're doing that I'm going to just flip that on so y'all can hear me better and then we will get right into the presentation we have some really cool pictures to show you in terms of feet and la la la ville ears on over the shirt but that's okay because we're improvising so if you have questions throughout the presentation make sure to use the chat if you're not tuning in live and this is a replay for you then make sure to use the comments section below because I love to know what you think and love to chat back and forth about kind of what I find fascinating about the feet so let's get started and we will screen share your entire screen sound effects help okay f5 so here we are with foot reading on July 11th 2018 here is our set of feet that we will be examining these feet were sent in as you can yourself by one of the people following us on various social media channels super excited to break these feet down for everybody it's going to be a wild ride so where you can actually tune into the conversation is going to be the foot reading and reflexology online community group on Facebook that's where a lot of these pictures get submitted where the conversation is happening in that closed group because it's only for people who are either professionally or personally involved with work have that curiosity for studying reflexology and foot reading so that's kind of the secret hub our base of operations but in this video we are going to take the pictures that you all submit and I'm going to explain what I see what I would say and also not say it a particular client sometimes it's important not just to outline what a consultation would look like but also what I would omit and what I would not say during a session because that is also super important and then what to do about it because we don't just want to read the feet we also want to give somebody an actionable outline of what they can do to move their life from point A to point B and that is a very important part of the work not just the assessment but the action items post assessment that's what really creates the consultation approach to this work so let's talk about context and story one more reading feet we always want to make sure that we understand that there's a story here the feet are not just things that we stick in shoes they are the person they are not just the person physically but also mentally and emotionally it's an entire package that were cracking open for everybody's eyes to see which is why these photos are totally anonymous but when we have a client in front of us we have to respect that we're not just looking at toes and heels and you know arches were looking at head and neck we're looking at thoughts and opinions were looking at sense of security somebody's foundation all of those aspects that are a little bit more deep rather than just you know plain old feet we're gonna look at some contradicting markers in this video we will also look at some very interesting personality stuff very cool examples of how both the physical and the mental emotional coincide with in a single marker and then focusing on actionable steps with this person because we have so many contradicting things and so many things stacking on top of each other we're really going to need to focus on what is the one thing that one thing that they can do on their own to really take their their lifestyle to the next level okay so let's jump on into it everybody here are the picture of pictures of the feet once again us so these were the dorsal aspect the top aspect of the feet that are submitted and let's pick out some are normally we just do top three because that's what I really want to drive home if you're if you're going to be nitpicking all over the place it often creates confusion for you and the client but here we're gonna delve into some pretty specific markers that will then reinforce in other slides so you'll see a lot of inner weaving happening but not just focusing on those top three let's talk about marker number one which is just the idea of this person having an overall earth Constitution couple things give this away you can see the big toenail is totally square the toes also have that blocka shape to them the feet are wide and the bone structure is very pronounced all of these things give us the idea that the person is an earth Constitution individual their bone structure is going to be denser they're going to have a sturdier framework because their bones are the central focus of their body type but then also they're going to be prone to having bone issues not necessarily something like an osteoporosis prosess which we see in the air Constitution but we're going to see joint impingement issues these are the type of people that will wake up first thing in the morning and they'll feel like they got hit by a bus just because they're they're cold they're there it takes a little bit for them to warm up their joints tend to be very dense and so they tend to stack on each other and pinch some nerves on occasion all of those things just part of that package of having a denser earth you're almost mountainous type of Constitution so that's just marker number one and there is no like specific place for that it's kind of all over marker number two though we can totally point out and it does get backed by the idea of the earth Constitution so let's look at the shoulder reflex shoulder reflex we know is in a horizontal zone two vertical zone five vertical zone five being anything that's in line with the fit toe and then horizontal zone two being the ball of the foot just underneath the toes so we're looking at the most lateral portion of the chest space here which is the baby bunion or the eye if we wanted to be super anatomical about it we could talk about this being at the metatarsal phalangeal joint where it is the distal head of the fifth metatarsal meeting the proximal phalange or phalanx of the fifth digit a little bit of fun Anatomy stuff but we can see that this reflex is very pronounced it's actually going outside of the boundary you can see that little bump and that indicates that the shoulders are going to be both physically prominent and prominent injury-wise they might not have injured the shoulders per se but they may feel like chronic tension in the shoulders the body is just saying you who look at me literal bone deviation here that gives you a clue as far as what is going on within their body structure marker number three plays into this marker because because we're in the same vertical zone kind of reminds me of a chessboard how we're looking at different cross sections so this is in the same vertical zone so it has that same influence of vertical zone five this means two things we'll start with the physical stuff and then we'll kind of wrap these two markers in mentally and emotionally the physical stuff is that vertical zone five represents the influence of the lower body that's going to be your leg your knee everything in that zone five base of support structural foundation this is influencing the neck because the toes represent the next space so the fact that this fit toe on either side is stunted slightly lower than the other toes means that this person's lower body will be weaker which will influence the neck to fall out of alignment more easily do we see how that kind of how I came to that conclusion shorter fit digit means a lesser energetic kind of oomph from horizontal Zone in horizontal Zone one from vertical zone five using that grid system and this also makes sense because then we look back to the shoulder reflex and the shoulder reflex is actually overactive so it's like the neck reflexes have become under active and then shoulder reflexes are trying to bolster up the neck in that space in order to try to compensate for the deficiency super fascinating so it's all stemming from that vertical zone five influence of the lower body but if we wanted to flip this around mentally and emotionally we get really exciting personal stuff so the shoulder reflex is also vertical zone five horizontal zone - meaning somebody's sense of security and how they're moving forward is influencing their emotional space to basically become larger than it should be a great way to think about this is the shoulder reflex when the shoulder reflex becomes prominent it often means that the person is prone to shouldering the burden of other people but they are always going to be the one that takes responsibility for the people around them pair that with the stunted fit digit which means somebody's thoughts and opinions being influenced by their sense of security and how they're moving forward we get this idea that their vision for the future the way that they look towards their sense of security moving forward in their head space is actually stunted so they live very moment to moment this is a person who constantly puts out the fires of those around them and cannot see into the future for like five years ahead to do that long-term goal setting goal planning because they're too busy in the present moment taking care of everybody else so we see some physical but also some personality traits starting to come to the surface which I find super fascinating and then we have marker number three which is going to back all this up so marker or marker number four sorry marker number four we can see the neck and thigh rate reflexes have actually kind of collapsed you see the skin is kind of folding over I it's almost like the area has been deflated slightly we also have we've covered this in previous videos that nice horizontal slice right across the middle of the toe representing weakness in the neck so the neck is weak on all fronts we can see that as a kind of echo of the stunted fifth digit but and also how this corresponds to the other two markers is when you have signs of excess and deficiency there's always going to be the given the take so with vertical zone five we can see that there's excess in the shoulder but deficiency in the neck here we can see that there's actually access in the earth Constitution earth constitutions tend to hold on to resources they tend to be prone to things like hypothyroidism just because their their metabolism tends to be very low in slow burning fasting is a great protocol for them in that way but then here we see that the thyroid area and the neck area has really become depleted so it's that excess of Constitution but that deficiency of the glandular reflexes and the structural reflexes the nerve innervation that would actually help to counterbalance that Constitution really delving into the deeper aspects with that one but you can see how there's that theme of always where there is access there is a counterbalancing deficiency and we see two examples of that here everybody with me so far type yes in the chat if you're following along okay here is where we get into the crux of this pair of feet because we have this beautiful contrast of validating markers which if you're like Sam this is just a weird outside view of the feet just wait I promise it will get 10 times more exciting once I tell you what I see okay vertical zone 5 we've already talked about vertical zone 5 right since it's the digit shoulder reflex yep everybody's following it along in the chat absolutely love it look at the right versus the left side here on the right side we have this line of redness you can see the skin is more like somebody has deflated it again you can actually see a red pock mark but you can see the callosum the dryness starting to build up versus on the left side you can't really see that so much right we see that contrast from right to left so what this tells us is that vertical zone 5 although it's a systemic issue because it's on both sides in horizontal zone 1 zone 2 we can see that it's actually been a more active theme in this person's life in the past I'd give this maybe about 6 months time line wise but we can see that in the present shifting to the left side that these stressors have alleviated it's no longer as big of an issue so with vertical zone 5 being a constant theme here this marker from right to left gives us contrast saying not only is this a reoccurring theme but it's actually recently had a flare-up which means that all of those right-side vertical zone 5 influences of the lower body on the right side so that's right knee all muscles of the right leg potentially sciatic issues as well on the right side have been flared up have been active have been on fire but also very weak dehydrated we can see so many markers there but then we look to the left and the left side doesn't seem to be effective so symptom ology local to the right and then also past present mental and emotional stuff so in the past their sense of security has actually been super overactive very fiery very fatigued a lot of movement happening for this person over the past six months potentially injury especially since we see that little red pock mark in horizontal Zone 3 so potentially a career shift that occurred but everything has settled down in the present moment left side is much cleaner the skin is much more calm not as much callous and dryness as the opposite side so definitely something to consider when you were consulting with this person hey you just got through a really tumultuous period we need to have a conversation about this because it's still being held in you body okay so let's just zoom into some primary elements here we're seeing red with the inflamed skin as well as the micro injury we're seeing air element in terms of the weakness and the skin but also the lining and dehydration and then we're seeing earth in terms of Callison in that specifically the right vertical zone five space so what does all of this mean this means that there's one element that's lacking and that element is simply water so the method of balancing would be in the water element category do we see how we came up with all of this were zooming into this particular marker because it's such a beautiful example of when somebody's coming in to see you for a foot reading consultation or you're just looking at friends and family's feet you can see that all the elements are present in excess but one so when it comes to rebalancing the body we just need to reintroduce that one element that's missing yeah starts to make a little bit of sense so method of balancing doesn't really need to be super difficult but we're using multiple validating markers to basically say hey there's a lot of excess and deficiency a lot of imbalances that are happening that have actually gotten fired up more recently but they've also calmed down so you're in a good space to recover how do we recover the feeder telling us water is the issue and we can move forward with that let's also take a snapshot of the plant our view I know that a lot of you are like saying where's the plant RB oh well here it is people confirming right versus left just real quick not super important but just wanted to as an aside kind of flip that on the screen we can see that the right side again this person's right foot in the digestive spaces the lines are much deeper they're much more present in the digestive reflexes although they're even they're worse on that right side so validating again that issues in the past have recently been a stressor but we've come out of that relatively clean as an angle aside because you can see that the light is kind of shining on that right foot so it's not a stellar example because that shadowing is exaggerating it just a little bit but we can see that the lining is largely in horizontal Zone three horizontal zone four so digestive irritability when we see the waves in the reflex that's kind of what's happening in the the corresponding reflexes so the ups and downs very much in this person's gut so we would need to calm that down any ideas on how we would calm that down we've already talked about it hint hint but that's in the next slide so just to circle that we can really see a horizontal zone three four sign of irritable bowel stuff hey putting it all together let's wrap all of this up in a nice neat pretty bow and kind of talk about some physical mental emotional and methods of balancing shall we so the physical side of this equation physically after a major period of physical stress in the lower body remember vertical zone 5 it's now time to recover through hydrating and nourishing activities that's basically the physical equivalent of everything that we just saw internally sense of security stressors are still lingering in the nervous system again probably six months ago is when the stressors really were at their peak and started to come into the surface but more recently because they're not present as present on the left they've dissipated so although an internal framework is good like her bone structure is very prominent prominent earth constitutions like they can withstand a lot of stuff but the daily details are taxing to the system the nervous system and the soft tissues of the body are still struggling to keep up this is this is something that we really want to make sure that although they could totally carry on although they could you know act like nothing fazed them and put put the cart back on their shoulders and start trucking away at it we want to remind them that hey like you can't just flip a switch in this situation you need to remember to take care of yourself and allow yourself that recovery time methods of balancing hydration is going to be the first step increasing fluid intake paired with regular meals to calm nourish the digestive irritability are required so we're taking that idea of hydration but also based on what we saw in the plant our service the need for regular consistent nourishing meals again part of somebody's personality profile who can't look into the future to plan but also who tends to shoulder the burden and fight the fires that everybody else is causing there go to be taking care of themselves last so we really want to drive home that it's not just about drinking water to put out the internal inflammation and soothe and soften the tissues that have already been compromised and on are on their way to recovery what we want to remind this person that hey if you're feeling out of sorts it's going to be the fact that you have not eaten anything and for those of you that have followed the videos and for those of you that are my live students you know what's coming next protein bars and smoothies are not meals so it's not as simple as grabbing that quick to go salad I actually prepping cooking eating meals that are nutritious and tasty as well so that the body can absorb it properly really really important then we can start to work on the soft tissues and they will begin to heal and release the joints with any excess pressure so with fire or air and earth being the primary elements at play here we need to counterbalance those forces with cooling hydrating calm and dark rest influences so all of those watering methods of balancing that's not just physical hydration that's going to be if somebody wants to think of movement it's going to be restorative yoga preferably something that is going to be yen based not taxing on the body super anti-inflammatory not flowing but instead any excuse to lock themselves into a dark quiet room preferably with an IV drip of fluids all of that is going to be super duper important as we bring this person back from the brink of setting themselves on fire all of that is going to be the theme of those watery feminine dark nourishing influences make sense give me a thumbs up in the chat if you're agreeing with me just as a quick note here's what didn't make the cut in this foot reading video here we have the medial view of the feet which was submitted I personally didn't want to include this in this foot reading series because although it does validate the lower digestive weaknesses we can see here there's a lot of dryness and dehydration happening in the digestive reflexes we can also see that the spine is in good shape we can see that horizontal zone 5 those lines on the heels are pretty intense which could be an issue but nothing that we haven't seen throughout the other angles of the feet so although this is good and if you were doing a foot reading consultation this is something that you would definitely want to look at not something really relevant when we look at what we've already seen we've pretty much got this person pegged in terms of time line okay so that's pretty much it I appreciate all of you sticking around and for those of you who tuned in live in the chat but if you're watching this on the replay definitely make sure to comment like subscribe share your thoughts below and we will continue these videos make sure to again hit that subscribe button but also join the Facebook group because the foot reading and reflexology online community the frock group is really where the magic happens if you're interested in foot reading you can always buy the book it's entitled book reading imagine that by sambel yay so links to that in the video below book number two is also on the way if you're really interested in maybe practicing foot reading professionally you can always take the foot reading online course there's a link to that in the description also through the website we have tons of other online resources like I'm halfway through like six or seven lessons in a reflexology master class series that focuses on teaching you the anatomy that your reflexology school probably didn't give you because I know I certainly didn't get it that's always fun and then the email in your feet for either videos like this or for the 100 feet project which you can always learn about by going to WWF us for calm back slash projects so that is pretty much it I will end our screen share just so that you can see my mug one more time doo doo doo here we go and thank you again for tuning in I appreciate everybody everybody's definitely blowing up the chat thank you for tuning in and taking away apparently your sucker time for all of those in the UK thinking that your football is more important than foot reading I would beg to disagree although I totally understand because I know that if I went too hard on that y'all would kill me so love y'all thank y'all for watching make sure to send in your pictures tell me what you want to see next we'll probably be doing a webinar on spotting digestive markers throughout the feet in the next video series I think that's going to be super fun but you need to be a part of the Facebook group to get in the loop on that because that's only available to them plus the replays are free until next time thank you all for joining us and we will see y'all later
