Àṣẹ — anatomical left foot
Power at ground contact
The anatomical-left foot mirrors the ground-contact Àṣẹ point so the requested head–hands–feet distribution remains visibly bilateral. Its placement is a modern pedagogical simplification of sacred power, not an anatomical or canonical Ifá instruction, and the wide uncertainty radius preserves that distinction.
