Touch

Being aware of subtle emotional qualities you may be embodying at various times of the day. Pay particular attention to your hands.  See if you don’t become more mindful by becoming more “bodyful.” Everything from opening a door to making love involves touch. It is possible to open a door so mindlessly that your hand doesn’t know what your body is doing and you hit yourself in the head with it. Imagine the challenge of touching another person without automaticity, with no gaining idea, just presence and caring.

One thought on “Touch

  1. I love to move and dance. Trained dancers will point out that the hands make all the difference in fluidity and expression.
    Noticing my hands has made a big and wonderful difference to my presence in movement.
