It is getting into boot season where I live. This fashionable footwear often contains a heel lift. Heel lifts change the entire set up of the body---bones, muscle, and fascia. Over 90% of foot surgeries are done on women. At some point we have to ask, "Why?" What are women doing that is causing so many foot problems? Our shoes play a huge roll in our foot health. I am not saying you can't ever wear fashionable footwear, but you do need to consider how your footwear is impacting your body. Foot health food for thought today!

Our hands are one of our greatest tools for sensing (feeling) the world around us. It would seem like we get a lot of hand and finger movement in a given day but the truth is hand mobility is greatly declining. Most of our hand movement are the same repetitive pattern which is actually hurting our hands. Text thumb anyone? Or notice how you can't be on your hands and knees very long because your hands give out? These are all indicators of decreased hand and finger mobility. Today's challenge to get moving our hands is to make circles with each individual finger. Also, spend time truly feeling something this week. Hold your spouse's hands....feel the roughness or the smoothness, the warm, the gentleness. Let every sense you have come alive as you truly feel your spouse's hand in yours. Any when was the last time you held your spouses hand?

These are 5 characteristics that the woman in Song of Solomon possesses. She is no ordinary women. She is sensuous in all areas of her life. I have been studying her. I have been thinking about how she interacts with her husband and herself. If being sensuous seems foreign to you, start reading this book. It has a lot to teach us about being a women and wife.

Being sensuous means using all your senses. However, some of our senses may not be working at full capacity. When we lack movement or do the same repetitive movements, it means our tissues, muscles, fascia, cells, etc. aren't getting all the nourishment they could. This means our tissues may become less reaponsive---or they stop sensing the environment around them. As we look at being sensuous, we also need to access how we can move various parts of our body to reactive the tissue in that particular area to sense more. Let's start with our toes. 🔹️Try to release each toe one at a time up and down. 🔹️Pretend to play the piano with your toes. 🔹️Lift your toes up and spread them wide. If you think something like this has no affect on the senses of your tissue, do these movements on one side only and then assess the difference between the sides.
