Strange sensation in feet

Kate Kestrel said:

Quick question! Does anyone else on here get a strange sensation in their feet as a response to a particular thought? My son wants to know as he is troubled by this and wonders if other people get this too. If he has a thought about something disgusting - like a needle or blood or something like that - he gets a strange tickling feeling on the soles of his feet. He hates this sensation. Does anybody else get this? Or something similar? 

It is basically the same sort of thing as getting sweaty or dry palms ~ i.e., registrations of how one is feeling ~ which can be pondered further in regard to 'Reflexology':

Thanks Deepthought - that’s helpful. You’ve made me wonder if we could use reflexology to help it be more tolerable for my son. He sometimes gets quite upset by this sensation and I’m looking for a way to help him. I hadn’t really thought about reflexology- it might be a good way to approach this.

Providing he is into it and excuse my attempt at humour here and he is not the next messiah for the anti-foot-pampering league of hypersensitives ~ here follows a link for an article on '12 foot massaging techniques'.

It may be that a negative association has developed on account of not knowing what's going on or how to sort it out ~ due to perhaps having gotten into a 'freeze' state of mind involving executive planning issues, what with ignorance being associated with fear and knowledge with empowerment, and all that.

If he does turn out to be ‘the next messiah’ I’ll be sure to let you know

Ooh ~ well it's nice to have at least this forewarning that the footspanish inquisition will be coming around, although I doubt the mother of the messiah herself would be coming with a lynch mob and a kestral in hand as podiatrist finder general and all that for little old me . . . on the other hand though [turbines and nitrous oxide engaging sound] meep-meep:

Thank you Deepthought - that’s really helpful and I think you’re right (especially about the fact that he doesn’t understand it and therefore he’s finding it alarming). If he does turn out to be ‘the next messiah’ I’ll be sure to let you know

I’ll check out the foot massaging techniques - thanks for that!
