A portion of the sentiments may be wonderful, a delicate warmth, an agreeable weight. A few sentiments may be impartial — shivering or tingling. Also, some may be unsavory. Your feet could feel irritation some place.

Anything the sensation is, simply note it. In the event that you really want to move to assuage genuine agony, do as such.
