Foot Reading
Foot Reading, also known as Solestry, is believed to have been practiced in India and China for more than five thousand years. This fascinating practice is rooted in the idea that our feet act as a mirror to the rest of the body. While I mention the mirrored connections of the body in my Reflexology article, the focus of Reflexology is mechanical and health related. Foot Reading is different. It is centred on personality, behaviour, emotional patterns and the subtle clues our feet reveal about our lives.
Foot Reading is Not a Medical or Psychic Practice
If you are seeking a medical diagnosis or advice, you will need to see a doctor or a podiatrist. If you are looking for predictions about your future, you will need to consult a psychic. Foot Reading does not predict the future in the way that palmistry or astrology is believed to. What it can do is reveal truths about your past and present. A simple example is the position of the little toe. Can you separate your little toe from your fourth toe? How far apart they move can indicate how much you enjoy new experiences and adventures.
MY Foot Reading
Well known names in this field include Jane Sheehan, who has read the feet of many celebrities. Unlike many people who would shy away from feet, foot readers like her are genuinely fascinated by them. They study shape, texture, and movement with interest and passion, though not in a strange or uncomfortable way. I had a foot reading some years ago, back when I lived in the UK, I will not share the personal details of that reading, but I can say it was accurate, insightful, and deeply interesting. It reflected my personality, my emotional triggers and the patterns I recognise in myself. The session left me fascinated by how much our hard working feet really can reveal.
How a Foot Reading Works
A Foot Reading looks at the structure, colour, and texture of the top and bottom of the feet and the toes. These details help the reader understand aspects of personality and emotion. Scars, marks, moles, blemishes, verrucas and areas of hard skin are also taken into account. Each toe represents a different area of your inner world which includes your Thinking, Feeling, Doing, Relating and Security. Your left foot reflects your past. Your right foot reflects your present. The top of the foot shows what you are comfortable sharing with others. The bottom of the foot shows what you tend to keep private. The foot is also divided into zones that relate to Family, Friends and Outside Influences. The way you place your feet on the floor, the condition of your skin and the state of your nails are all part of the picture.
What Do Your Feet Say About You
Your feet may have more to say than you realise. Whether you are curious about personality patterns or want a deeper understanding of your emotional world, a Foot Reading can offer an eye-opening experience.
