Priestess and Joanna,
Namaste.
Sounds as if the two of you have got a soleful leg up on the foot thing. :-}}
At one point or another, in one way or another, I may do some or all of what you have discussed.
There is also a nice thing to do as well, if needed, but the feet are not the only path -
- the feet can also be fine "drain" site if one feels the intrusion of unwanted energy during one's 'work'
Reiki all around,
All Blessings,
Firekeeper
