Chi and The Beautiful Foot.


If you click on the above illustration it will get larger and easier to see and use. The same is true of any and all the photos and illustrations on this blog.

Time for a bit of foot chi kung.

The above illustration is of reflex points found in the feet.
Master these points and you will be able to help yourself and your friends and family when needed.


The photo above is me sending chi into Kidney 1. You will notice you can use either one finger or two, it does not matter.



Kidney 1 is the start of the Kidney meridian and one of the most powerful acupoints on the body. I find Kidney 1 very helpful for most problems. Touching and holding this points for a few minutes to a half an hour will often ease leg pain and if held long enough will spread chi through the whole body reducing pain and discomfort and strengthening the whole being. The energy body is like a giant river or ocean. If you treat any one point long enough the chi will eventually be felt through the whole body. Following are some more things Kidney 1 may do when worked with enough. How long is enough varies with each treatment. Intuition and study and practice will show you the way, inshAllah.
" Descends excess from above, useful for LV Yang Rising or LV Fire - headaches, tinnitus, hypertension, epilepsy.
Cooling KD empty heat - chronic sore throat, dry mouth, low back pain.
Tonify KD/HT Yin - insomnia, palpitations, anxiety, poor memory, mania, rage w/desire to kill, hot flashes, night sweats.
Loss of consciousness, yang collapse." This quote taken from the following link, http://www.yinyanghouse.com/acupuncturepoints/kd1
Kidney 1 can also sometimes help with loss of voice and chronic laryngitis and chronic pharyngitis. It can also ease or eliminate headaches and help with dizziness. It also sooths the liver and strengthens the Kidney. I am referring to the Chinese understanding of the kidneys and liver, not as an organ, but a flow of energy through the body.


Above is a photo of more powerful acupoints found on the foot and leg. You can press these points or just touch them ,. If you move your touch in a clockwise direction it strengthens the points actions. A counter-clockwise movement will reduce pain and inflammation, inshAllah.

Spleen 3 can help gastroenteritis, and digestive problems. SP3 strengthens the spleen meridian and helps the stomach meridian.
Kidney 3 is very powerful.
"Tonify KD Qi, Yin or Yang Deficiencies from any etiology.
Asthma from KD Deficiency - difficulty inhaling.
Tonifies Yin of KD (chronic sore throat, empty heat), LV (dizziness, tinnitus, headache) a/or HT (anxiety, insomnia, excessive dreaming).
Low back pain, usually of a chronic nature.
Local point for heel a/or ankle pain." The above quote is from the following link.

Spleen 6 is especially important for women during their moon time i.e. periods. It is about three inches up from the ankle bone and can be found by pressing . It will be very tender. Holding a light touch at Spleen one will often ease or eliminate menstrual cramps. I recommend a counter-clockwise movement. It can take awhile sometimes to reduce or eliminate the pain so be patient. Sp 6 is also good for treating problems in the legs and problems with the bladder and urinary tract.
"Tonify Yin and Blood, all Spleen disorders.
Digestive disorders, sinking/prolapse.
Gynecological issues, male sexual issues, difficult labor (expel fetus).
Bleeding disorders, cool blood in hot skin diseases.
Insomnia and other anxiety related emotions"
The above quote can be found by clicking the following link. " The above quote is from the following link.

The thumb is touching Kidney 1.


One of the best things you can do for another human being besides love them and listen to them and be real with them is to massage their feet. I massage my wifes feet as often as I can. She does the same with me. She treats my hands more then my feet. Both are wonderful. I will cover the hands later.

I urge you to get to know your feet. Spend time learning where the reflex points and the acupoints and the meridians are on your feet. Study how to press and pull and massage and treat your feet. Study and practice various ways to send chi into the acupoints on the feet. Learn on your own feet and the feet of your families and friends. You can find enough information on the web to start your journey. There are no excuses not to learn and practice foot healing except laziness and apathy. People need help and this is one easy way you can help.

Massaging and treating the feet with chi is easy to learn and will influence all kinds of medical problems for the good. If you are getting a foot treatment, wash your feet. If you are giving one, have the person wash their feet before the treatment. After a foot treatment if you gave it, always clear yourself using one of the techniques found on this blog after a treatment.
