Did you know that your feet reflect your personality and emotions? Foot reading is used by Reflexologists to understand their clients from a more holistic perspective and is used as a therapy to help people identify the issues in their life and to help them move forwards. It’s a great tool for personal development
Ah, phrenology for the new millenium.

The top ten secrets that your feet reveal about you
As a foot reader practicing since 1999, Jane Sheehan is often asked to talk about what
secrets the feet reveal. Here she reveals the top ten questions she is most often asked.
Secret 1: What does it mean if I have a bunion?
Bunions are telling you that you are bending over backwards doing too much for others and
not enough for yourself! The degree to which the big toe is deformed towards the little toe
shows the degree that you are out of balance in this area of your life. Ask yourself, what
would I be doing with my time if I had more time for me. Many people with bunions can’t
answer this. Until they work out what they really want to spend their time on for themselves,
they will continue doing too much for others. If you want some clues as to what you would
possibly enjoy doing if you had more time, think back to what you did when you were a child
in the school holidays. Perhaps you could spend more time doing that now?
Secret 2: What does it mean if I have wide feet?
Very wide feet are what I call the “carthorse” foot! This person is very very hard working.
They are constantly doing things and find it very difficult to sit down and do nothing. If I offer
you a cup of tea, you will be getting the cups out of the cupboard to help me rather than sitting
back and letting me wait on you.
Secret 3: What does it mean if I have narrow feet?
Very narrow feet are what I call the “princess” foot! You are much happier sitting back and
letting others run around after you. “Peel me a grape”! You are very good at delegating to
others without appearing to do so! You appreciate the good things in life.
Secret 4: What does it mean if I have a high arch?
High arches are commonly found on people with strong inner resources. You enjoy spending
time on your own. That’s not to say that you aren’t sociable, but if you do go to a party, you
need the next day as quiet time to re-energize. You are very resourceful but find it hard to
accept help from others because you feel you can do it all yourself.
Secret 5: What does it mean if I have flat feet?
Your flat feet are showing that you love the company of others. You are very sociable and
you just don’t like being left on your own. You need lots of support in your life. You’re happy
to accept help from others…. Lots of it!
Secret 6: What does it mean if my feet have grown a shoe
size?
Even though your feet have stopped growing, your feet can grow a shoe size because of a
relaxation of tension in the tendons and ligaments of the feet. When your feet go up a shoe
size, it is because something has changed in your life and you now want recognition for your
merits. You’re much happy to thrust yourself into the lime-light. I know one person who’s feet
grew like this when she gave up her administration job to become a teacher.
Secret 7: What does it mean if my feet have shrunk a shoe
size?
It is possible for your feet to shrink a shoe size because of tension in the tendons and
ligaments of the feet. When your feet shrink a shoe size, it is because something has
changed in your life and you now feel that you want to take your time to assess situations and
watch what is happening before you push yourself forward. You no longer need recognition
and value your privacy more. You want to take more of a back-seat role.
Secret 8: What does it mean if I have athlete’s foot?
If you have athletes foot you have developed a tendency to let things get under your skin.
You experience extreme irritability. It annoys you that people constantly interfere and doubt
and question your ideas. Why are you letting them bother you? Each toe has a meaning
assigned to it, once you learn their meanings, you can further refine your interpretation based
upon which toes the athlete’s foot is occurring.
Secret 9: What does it mean if I have smelly feet?
This is what I call the “skunk” effect! You are trying to make more space for yourself by
driving people away with the smell! You often find this on teenagers who are fed up with the
rules “be back by half ten”, “don’t do that”, “do your homework first”, “no you can’t have your
belly button pierced”! You also find it on carers of a dependent relative where their own
personal freedom is restricted by their duty and responsibility. How can you build some more
freedom into your life?
Secret 10: What does it mean if I have a gap between my big
toe and my second toe?
You have delayed reactions between your logical reaction and your emotional reaction. You
need to learn to make more space to think before you make decisions. Do you find that you
often agree to do something and the next day you think “gosh, why did I agree to do that?” or
someone says something to you and the next day you think “I can’t believe I let them get
away with that”. It’s just that your first reaction was your logical reaction but you hadn’t had
time to assimilate how you feel about it. The bigger the gap between these toes, the more the
delayed reaction.

Shouldn't this be thrown into the "snake oil" section
Dry skin means your not looking after yourself?? Really
Low arches mean you have a bad back ...Pleeeeeeeeeze
Just a grain of possibility / truth in each statement
I have no doubt this person wrote this article while her feet were in a tank of fish snudging tea tree oil and the like and aimed it at those of the same mentality.

"Political Correctness" is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end
