I love Dr Randolph Stone's charts 🖤
Below he gives an explanation of this foot chart where he mentions the work of Dr Locke and also makes references to Zone Therapy.
Dr Randolph Stone (February 26, 1890 – December 9, 1981) was the founder of polarity therapy, a complementary technique of holistic, spiritually based energy healing. He held doctorates in osteopathy, chiropractic, and naturopathy.
Explanation of chart 4:
"Chart No. 4 is the reproduction of an anatomy chart of the right foot, to which identification marks and names have been added to link the VITAL ENERGY CURRENT as the main factor for BASIC, STRUCTURAL CORRECTION THROUGH THE SOLES OF THE FEET.
Figure 1 shows the ligaments and their fascia on the bottom of the right foot. If we can see the sweep of energy over this tissue, and its power of balance and control from the bottom up, we HAVE THE KEY TO STRUCTURE AND POSTURE AS WELL AS TO MANY POLES OF THE BODY, THROUGH THIS BASIC ROOT POLE.
No wonder man is constantly trying to balance himself by the springiness and elasticity in his feet! When this quality leaves and the feet become rigid, man is beginning to die slowly. Sore feet indicate chronic conditions in the body which are painful but not in a state of resolution until they reach the neuter [neutral] pole of the hands. Then the condition is acute. Stiff fingers and hands also indicate less energy flow through them, with loss of dexterity and skill, which makes them akward [awkward] in action.
Stiff arches and feet denote a recession of the life energy from that pole. Thick, chalky nails also indicate the same and are not a good sign. VITALITY RECEDES WHEN THE DENSITY OF MATTER BECOMES TOO GREAT TO PE*****TE THROUGH IT. It is like the insulation to an electric current. ....
Figure 2 shows the muscular tissue of the anatomy of the right foot, by which the foot exerts such powerful leverage and spring to lift the whole body. AND, TRULY, THE WHOLE BODY CAN BE REACHED AND BENEFITED THROUGH THE FEET! They are the negative, water pole [Yin1], opposite to the fiery, head pole [Yang1]. They are also the vital negative pole of the neuter [neutral] pelvic, generative pole. That is why it is so important to keep the feet alive, young and active, with a grip on the ground. The whole body is represented in the feet, the water energy [Yin1], which goes deep and seeks out the foundations of things.
Vitality is expressed in limber feet and hands. Stiffness is tension and shows a decline of the vital current flow in both. Working on the foot alone does not give the best results in Vitality Balancing or in Polarity Therapy applications. Three poles MUST BE BALANCED WITH EACH OTHER in order to establish or re-establish the circuit of energy. Mere manipulation of sore areas and tender spots is not enough.
For years doctors of various schools have treated and adjusted the feet with a measure of results. BUT THE POLARITY PRINCIPLE OF VITAL ENERGY FLOW was not in use; hence the COMPLETE PICTURE AND THERAPY FOR THE BODY WERE NOT AT HAND. That is why the feet were neglected.
The only doctor who produced phenomenal results in foot therapy was Dr. Locke in Canada.[1] He was known all over the world. And strange to say all his success resulted from ONE ADJUSTMENT of the CUBOID BONE. This acted as a powerful stimulant to the kidneys, because it lies in that area. The stimulation to the other adjacent articulations helped the circuit flow. In some specific cases results were miraculous. His fame spread; but, alas, not his knowledge of this mystery!
The wonderful response was entirely through the WIRELESS VITAL ENERGY CURRENTS. It proved a little part of the Chinese saying that man dies when the kidneys cease to function.
If one clever application of this principle can do such wonders, why not the selective art of balancing the Vital Energy Flow through polar opposites in the fields of the body as well as in the feet?
The reason for the limitation of this application and of Zone Therapy,[2] was a lack of a logical foundation upon which it could be explained and proven as a principle in LIFE and in the energy field of the human body, instead of arbitrary lines of a method of dividing the body, vertically, as zones. No one could give an explanation why it was so, how these areas originated or why they elicited a response in the body and through what system. It had no scientific foundation. It was called a reflex through the sympathetic or other nerves, whether or not there were fibers of such nature in that area. 'Reflexology' was the name given to the response of an unusual nature.
The Acupuncture doctors in France had a similar system of zoning, which shows its real source or possible origin. But the few books in German, which were written later, tried to explain this system also as a nerve end response. The system followed the outline of our modern textbooks of anatomy, instead of the original concept of the FIVE RIVERS OF LIFE as the FIVE VITAL ENERGIES which enliven our five sensory and five motor actions........
...The FOOT TECHNIQUE according to POLARITY THERAPY PRINCIPLES is a new application of FOOT BALANCING IN RELATION TO THE VITAL CURRENTS. It works like a charm when done with a view to polarizing, through each contact, and not merely massaging to rub out the sore spots.
To illustrate: When working on the foot, over the area marked 'colon, ascending, descending or transverse', then grip the outside and the top of the foot firmly, to also balance the sensory and the motor currents of flow, up and down. This makes foot therapy a BI-POLAR APPLICATION.
It is sometimes necessary to pull on the toe in that region while working on the specific area on the top and bottom of the foot. This is used mostly when the patient is lying on his back or on the side. Then the body contact is related with it.
By flexing the foot with a dual contact, with both hands applied to it, one on the bottom of the foot with the thumb for specific reaction in a selected area, the other on the top of the foot or on the outside. Both have a powerful response, when linked to the body by further balancing.
By bending each toe, the specific center can be raised in the sole of the foot by tension of the tendon and muscles. This gives a very specific reaction. In this contact the dorsal part of the foot should be equally pressed by a contact, so as to balance the anterior and posterior regions in the foot and in the body's vital current flow, for a polarizing effect through the fields......"
