While performing your duty, expect neither approval nor disapproval. Do your work with the utmost love.
This love alone will attract grace, and all that you do will become the
worship of God. You will see you own self in this worship.

LET'S HEAR IT FOR YOUR FEET!

Feet

Let’s talk about your feet, Yah, those guys opposite your head. We pay so much attention to the head and face but very little attention to the other end. That end that is our Foundation. It is our Understanding, Balance, Propulsion Forward in Life. If you are standing and able to walk everything you do in a day involves your feet. 

So what about them? They are comprised of one quarter of all of your bones, each foot has 33 joints and will over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is my theory that a body part hurts to get our attention. Feet hurt. Maybe because an estimated 85% of us are wearing the wrong shoe size. As we age our feet lengthen and spread out. If you are wearing the same shoe size you wore 10-20 years ago chances are you are wearing the wrong size, which caused calluses, corns, scrunched toes, bunions, and PAIN. We are fortunate to have Foot Solutions, Tenni-moks, Bodell’s where the staff knows how to fit shoes.

Whenever you are buying shoes have the clerk measure BOTH feet while you are standing. Buy for the larger foot. Have your shoe repair person fit the other shoe to your smaller foot. My grandfather, who had to walk a lot of miles as an electrical engineer installing lines thru the mountains and valleys of Montana, always said to never skimp on the quality of your shoes. Without healthy feet survival is an issue.

Adjust a FootAs a full body adjuster, I adjust the feet every visit. In my opinion feet are more important than the brain. But then again, researchers have found that feet have the third or fourth greatest nerve endings from the brain. There are reflexes to every organ and neuro-structure on the feet.

Should you have new shoes, bring them in on your appointment and let’s test them for fitness. Or if you are planning to shoe shop come in to learn how to test your shoes for yourself. It is easy.

Of course in this day and age we don’t have to worry about survival, or do we?

Could you walk a mile to a food/water station? Could you be on your feet all day in an emergency? These demands may never arrive however it is a good idea to be prepared.

It is much like getting up off the floor if you have fallen. Can you get up from the floor? Can you reach the phone? It is probably a good idea to practice that maneuver, just in case. Be sure that you have emergency shoes and clothes in your car, along with some cash and water in case there is an earthquake.

Never, ever remove your shoes without untying the laces—unless of course you want heel pain, ankle pain, knee pain. Tie the laces if you plan to move in the shoes. Bare footing is best for foot and spinal health if you have safe clean places to walk like the grass or sand.

Walking on the ground also connects you to the earth. Check out Earthing.com for more about that. When you walk bring your center of gravity down to your pelvis. You will feel a release of tension in the neck and shoulders when your center is in your pelvis. This works when you are sitting also.

Thank you for listening. Thank you are all of the lovely referrals.

I am looking forward to adjusting your feet!
