Is there any meaningful difference between the sense of self in your foot and the sense of self in your head?

Same here, most of the time. I can move most of it to my foot with a slight shift in attention, after it happened once spontaneously.
The point, FWIW, was that the sense of self is mostly about perspective-taking and labeling - one thinks "this is me," but it ain't.

Shifting the location is a more or less constant exercise for everyone, though. If you're in pain, "me" tends to be located wherever the pain is.
The really weird stuff happens when it just sort of disappears, or distributes itself into the environment.
