📝 Description: The Language of the Feet 2nd Edition

The Language of the Feet presents a holistic framework for understanding the structure and nature of the human foot. This second edition, published by John Murray Publishers in late 2007, updates a popular text for those seeking qualification in reflexology. The work addresses both practical instruction and the spiritual or emotional context surrounding the practice. It aims to help readers comprehend their clients on a deeper level through this specialized lens. The book is designed for individuals training at any level of qualification. It holds particular relevance for students undertaking the new CPD qualification mentioned in its catalog details. The content covers the examination of foot structure alongside broader reflexological principles. While it offers necessary practical information, it also explores the metaphysical dimensions often associated with the field. This dual focus distinguishes it from purely technical manuals. This volume suits those interested in the intersection of physical anatomy and spiritual well-being within reflexology. It may not appeal to readers seeking only dry anatomical charts or those uninterested in the emotional aspects of client care. The text remains a resource for understanding the foot as a map of holistic health. Its approach bridges the gap between mechanical technique and intuitive practice.

Almost perfect

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.

This edition finally does the material justice. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Five stars from me.

Exactly as described

A friend in my study group recommended this one. You can tell why this work has endured. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

Solid edition

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.

Excellent find

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. One of my better finds this year.

Almost perfect

Needed this for my research. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted.
