how it feels and try to listen to your
body rather than guiding this activity
with your mind.
Leave that hand in place, and take your
other healing hand and let it move to
where it wants to sit, palm down, on
your body.
Just hold these two places until one
hand gets called to move to another
spot. Shift that hand. Then check in
with the other hand: Does it want to
move somewhere else or stay put?
There is no rule about how long to
hold or where to place your hands. Just
follow their wisdom, the inclinations
of the quiet still voice within, and let
yourself feel whatever sensations arise
as you use your healing hands.
Continue shifting each hand as it
is pulled or guided by your body’s
wisdom to move. At some point, you
will have a sense of completion, that
whatever needed to happen has been
accomplished for now.
It is fine to do this exercise fully dressed,
but it is also lovely to do it in the bath
or bed, making contact between your
hands and skin. Your body will give
you feedback on what it needs each
time. And your healing hands will
engage in an energetic dialogue your
body needs, even when your conscious
mind is not able to guide you.
