It was pure intrigue that led me to choose the course, as I\u2019m always open to learning new things. That said, I was a tiny bit skeptical, as I felt it would be perhaps just a transplantation of \u2018palm reading\u2019 onto the feet, or something along those lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I\u2019m pleased to say I was wrong, and that the skill of toe reading stands alone as a therapy quite in its own right. I was surprised to learn that each toe represents an element, and also a part of our psyche or personality. Also, deeper than that, how we interact with the associations of that toe depends which foot it is on. The shape and condition of the toes can also lend insight into the past life, or destiny of the foot owner. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The course itself is hosted by Katherine Veltri. Her introduction to the course is lovely; very upbeat, very positive; welcoming the student with \u2018open arms and open heart\u2019. She tells us a bit about herself, which is a nice touch. Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of Joy, Katherine! Once introductions are done, Katherine tells us a bit about her qualifications and how she loves to teach. It\u2019s clear she has a real passion for learning and loves to instill that passion in others. Her introduction leaves me excited to start the course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This toe-reading course is one of the shorter courses on the Council of Light training pages, and is priced accordingly. It\u2019s very short, but well worth the few dollars you would normally pay to gain access. All the coursework is downloadable, so there is no time limit to complete the work. I doubt this would be an issue anyway, as once you start the \u2018webinar\u2019, the coursework is interesting and keeps you engaged. The webinar is basically a slide show that takes you through all the aspects of toe reading, from the history and basic principles to actually putting it into practice. I don\u2019t want to say too much about the details of the content, as that seems unfair to the Council of Light and their paying customers! I can say that the coursework follows a consistent thread, is clear, easy to follow, and leaves you keen to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a> <span style=\"font-size: large;\">My favourite thing about the toe reading course is the way it teaches you to be open and non-judgemental with those you may practice on. It encourages open questions, without probing, and discourages diagnosis. My overall feeling was, even if you don\u2019t believe that the toes hold genuine insight into someone\u2019s past or their destiny, you can absolutely use toe reading as a tool to open up gentle conversations that may allow the client to be honest with themselves about crucial situations in their own life. Discussing the different aspects the toes represent is a way to encourage a therapeutic and holistic approach to mental well-being, and could be very useful to lots of different types of people. I can imagine that toe reading could easily be implemented by reflexologists, masseurs and a range of holistic practitioners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Overall, I\u2019ve enjoyed my first course with the Council of Light immensely, and look forward to my next educational foray. I\u2019m hoping to do some study with them around Chakra Meditation soon, so watch this space for further reviews. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">If you are interested in this course you can head to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeshare.thinkific.com\/courses\/toe-reading-webinar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.lifeshare.thinkific.com\/courses\/toe-reading-webinar<\/a> or click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeshare.thinkific.com\/courses\/toe-reading-webinar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">For a full list of courses offered by the Council of Light head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeshare.thinkific.com\/?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.lifeshare.thinkific.com\/?page=1<\/a> or click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeshare.thinkific.com\/?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><i>**Full disclaimer: I was offered the course for free in return for an objective review.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>***<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><b>About the Author:<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Mabh Savage<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0is a Pagan author, poet and musician, as well as a freelance journalist. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">She is the author of\u00a0<b>A Modern Celt: Seeking the Ancestors<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>Pagan Portals: Celtic Witchcraft<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Follow Mabh on\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mabherick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #b96d00;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Twitter<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MabhSavage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #b96d00;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0and her\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/soundsoftime.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #b96d00;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">blog<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Click Images for Amazon Information<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00EPQ7Y5O\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00EPQ7Y5O&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=paganpages-20&amp;linkId=82194a7868a6d1d569befa594800c5de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00EPQ7Y5O&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=paganpages-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important;
