What Do Different Colors On Your Feet Mean - Reflexology Exploration

hello and welcome Adam Thomas from balancing touch reflexology so good to see you and thanks for joining me today well when you work with feet for a while you start to notice patterns right so patterns of certain lines showing up or certain colorings or just things that you see from different clients you start to see tends to be like common things show up so today I want to look at common colors that show up in feet [Music] so when I'm working with feet and I'm thinking about color I'm looking over the entire soles of the feet the sides and the top of the feet right so I'm looking for an overall color what do they look like do they look healthy do they look you know certain areas or or different things like that do they look you know stressed out or things like that right um so when you're looking and working with feet I like to kind of step back a little bit and see the whole feet as a unit right so your first impression of the entirety of the feet in a way right and then you can go into little details and look at little points and stuff and see different colors in that but what I like to do as an overall look is look at the feet their overall color look at the client and check out to see if their feet match right that's one of the biggest things to look at and another thing that helps me when I'm looking um at feet and color as the topic is um think about how color shows up in our bodies right especially on our face so for example the color red um you know red can show up as far as like if I'm really angry or mad or hot right red will show up in my face right and also on the other side too uh red will show up if maybe I embarrass myself right so red as a color can mean you know a bunch of different things so this is something else to think about as well as like how does color show up in your body you know when you you know injure your hand or something like that uh you get bruising right so it goes from a whole different shades of coloring from you know right away an injury kind of shows up as more kind of uh red into purplish right and then it goes into blue and then the final healing stages seems to be like more of sort of like green yellowy and then it goes back to the normal color of the skin so this really helps me when I'm looking at somebody's feet and I see some odd colors um show up kind of like thinking that way like how does how does this color happen right so that's something to that helps me when I'm looking at color [Music] foreign [Music] so the very first color that I'd like to look at is pink okay so this color is a well-balanced sort of Pinky Hue okay so it doesn't matter really what color your skin is but what we're looking for is a nice healthy looking skin so think about you know newborn babies feet right you look at them and they have some Vitality they they look a healthy glow to them right they have this nice overall even pinky healthy color right so when we see that that's sort of like our Baseline that we're gonna base um all of the other colors off of right so healthy pink helps me to think about like babies feet [Music] foreign [Music] to the color white I like to make a fist like this and if you squeeze really hard so you get nice white there and so what's happening here well it's a lack of circulation so when the feet are white there's a lack of circulation they can be completely depleted of um energy right so in their strength and also in the Vitality of their body and stuff like this so they're really drained their energy is drained right physical and mental um they can even be close to catching a cold too like right before you get sick or as you're getting sick the body gives you signs right so completely white you know if you're about to pass out right you turn kind of white um so that is also uh you know your system has been overloaded right it's sort of um exhaustion extreme exhaustion right um mentally there can be a lot of negativity in the person as well right so that's something else extreme fear right again ready to faint sort of all the blood goes out of our body right um goes into the parts that we need so we get white um so extreme fear and just exhaustion right mentally physically everything right so when white comes up it says something to really make sure that they're taking the time and it's so great that they're coming to see you right um going to see a reflexologist because that is going to really help you know bring that circulation back and allow them to relax and so that's a really good sign there but you know just let them know that it's probably time to you know take care of themselves take a good rest right when you see that so that they can get that you know sort of Pinky you know vitality and stuff return to their feet right and so when we're working on their feet we want to really that's where we want to put our focus is bringing back that good energy that good uh circulation in their body right that will really help somebody that you see has really depleted White sort of skin right [Music] so then we come to orange or yellowy type of skin okay so if the foot is overall orange first thing to check is the Palms and the whites of the eye and the reason to do this is because you know as babies a lot of people get jaundice and it's related to liver problem right so if you check your client and the palms of their hands are fine and the whites of their eyes are white then you're good right so you can ask a client you know are you I don't know eating lots of carrots or lots of carrot juice right which is high in beta-carotene and that's what causes the the skin to turn orange so it's totally not um harmful at all um but this is something to be aware of so if the eyes are a little bit yellowy um in the hands also are kind of yellowy make sure that they don't have any liver issues coming up so jaundice right um so yellow has sort of high potential for stress Okay so and you can again bring back like they might have a jaundice outlook on life which means that you know bad things are always going to happen to them because in the past bad things happen to them so they're always looking through the filter of the past and something bad is going to happen again because it's happened before right so lots of critical thinking in people that have um yellow show up and orangey show up right so these are the things that you look for or ask um when you're dealing with orangey yellowy color [Music] so we already talked a little bit about red but when red shows up on the feet it's an excess of energy right there's too much flowing in the body right too much circulation basically coming to the surface right so the the blood is boiling right so this has to do a lot with um frustration and anger um and also the sympathetic nerves are dominant they're running the system right so the sympathetics uh uh and the parasympathetic they work together right so one is the the on switch basically which is the sympathetic nerve system and the parasympathetic is the calming you know rest and digest system but when you're in the sympathetic nerves are firing all the time it's the go go go uh sort of energy right so thinking is excessive everything is is frustrating and moving quickly and things like that right so when I see somebody like this I feel feel for the middle of the foot right so if I feel around the sole of the feet and they're nice and you know too warm right so a healthy foot is supposed to be warm but if it's like hot or sort of leaning more towards the heat I feel for the toes and more than likely they're going to be like burning so their feet are on fire they're they're frustrated they they're you know standing in hot lava all the time they're you know stewing in memories that bring up frustration right so there's smoldering with things that have happened or they they that they were very frustrated by right um and then I already mentioned this before but Extreme embarrassment right as well so yeah when we get embarrassed we feel you know that flush all over our system and then we feel kind of angry that we're getting embarrassed about it right so they sort of go hand in hand that way so yeah um red uh is quite common actually um you know you get red when you're in your feet are rubbing on the shoes because they're getting friction right so friction in life and stuff like that so red is a really kind of you know ex intense passion right can also be another uh reason why red would show up as well so it's not always just negative anger stuff like that but um and also uh anger and frustration stuff is a really creative uh energy as well so it's it pushes us into um you know lighting the fire to get us going right to try and fix the issues that we're trying to deal with right so it's not always uh where I was looking at the Bad and the negative but there's also some positive that can come out of it so it's an exciting time when you see red feed as well because they're they're burning to do something and get what they've uh haven't been getting done right they're getting pushed to to do that so once they move past all that frustration and get moving and moving into action you know things can calm down a little bit so red uh when it shows up it's an excess of energy [Music] so in the last color that I want to look at it's actually kind of a hue a range of color uh is sort of Bluey to purple purple sort of you know that sort of look so it's like a bruised ish colors right and so this always leads to circulation issues right so again check their body see if their lips might be blue and it looks like they're not getting enough oxygen right it could be hints of you know something else that's really wrong with them so make sure that they do check with their doctor if you're seeing you know kind of purpley blue feet as the major overall color of the feet right because so it's there's definitely something going on with their circulation right so make sure that they get checked out and that's leading to maybe some other symptomatic problems that could be happening in their body right so this person is uh showing signs that they're deeply hurt they could be you know in a state of sluggishness right or they're not really wanting to get up and do stuff they kind of have that like depressive State um and they could be fighting something right so uh another thing as well is that it could be deeply hurt right so think again of Brews being bruised right they're they're their whole body their whole person has been bruised in some way right so you know what else could it be like a disappointing failure right um they're always misunderstood uh you know basically deeply heard right so these are the kind of things that um show up in a person when their feet are showing signs of blue purpley color [Music] so what happens when we see feet that are all blotchy and patchworky with all the different colors that we talked about earlier well this is can be you know feet that are under a lot of stress and different things like that so there's different layers here of what's going on so one really good thing is to get the feet to sweat right and get the rest of the body to sweat to kind of like move stuff get it out of your system so that might be one way to deal with that another way is to relate it to the areas like if you if you're showing red in certain areas and you know purple over here and orangey over here relate that to the different reflexes and and check in with your client to see if any of that information can you know relates to them and the reflexes right but as we were talking before the um and the meanings behind all the colors can be applied to the little areas as well but also uh what we were talking about was the overall color of the feet so if the overall Hue of the feet is orange that's what it would mean right overall is red that's what it would mean but yeah color can be quite subtle and you know can hide and so it's not as clear um sometimes as other people so once you have been working with people for a long time and clients for a long time you'll notice that their chain their feet change right and even yourself so it might be good to once in a while you know get your feet up and take pictures of them right soles of the feet sides of the feet tops of the feet and you know take it with your cell phone or get somebody to take a picture of your feet and um you know on the camera or whatever it will be time stamped as well so you can kind of look back in history and see um what was going on in your life uh at the time when your you know feet were really red for example right like oh yeah okay and see if it relates to um some kind of frustration embarrassment uh times that were happening then right so that's a fun one when you actually start logging your clients and yourself um to learn a bit more about what is going on in the feed so yeah hopefully this helps I know it's a lot of information can can be kind of confusing but again it's the art of reflexology there is no yes no answer right it's sort of like we live in this kind of Wonder um realm and you know kind of detective work we do all the time so which is kind of exciting so there you go um color it's exciting let me know in the comments below um if there's some other colors that that you see show up a lot and what you found them to mean so hopefully this was useful uh thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one take care remember to keep those
