Soul to Sole® Foot Reading Monday 13th October 2008 9.30 – 8.00 pm
Tuesday 14th October 2008 9.30 – 5.30 pm
£400 + VAT (includes a light lunch)
Soul To Sole® Foot Reading is exactly that: the reading and translation of your Soul’s language, which is imprinted on the soles of your feet. Hard skin, excessively soft skin, corns, blisters, deformities, differences, sizes, texture, colours, angles, impressions, nail condition and strength – all of these “markings” represent different reflections of your mind.
A perfect foot would indicate a perfect mind. But: we are a product of our parents, we have “genetics” influencing us the first few years of our life, and markings found then would be related to the parent’s whereas later we are influenced by the challenges provided by our parents, our surroundings and our environment, as we learn, adapt and grow. It is during this later phase where our own markings become more pronounced or/and replace what was imprinted in our youngest years.
The nature of Foot Reading is such, that when the right technique is used even the beginner can build up a gradual mental and psychological image of their client, without having to initially discuss anything. The therapist can “see” where a client is emotionally sensitive and is feeling challenged, and can approach a therapy session more sensitively by knowing where these weaknesses lie.
The ever-changing characteristics of feet provide valuable clues as to inner needs and reflect potential for personal development and ultimate fulfilment. Take the opportunity to have a ‘look’ into your life and discover which part/s you have been neglecting, and any issues, which may be hindering your personal growth, whilst gaining an invaluable tool for your therapeutic work on all clients and even family. A brilliant tool for all Reflexologists!
