Points of contact You can do this practice in any position But I recommend trying it while sitting close the eyes and bring your awareness to the posture of the body Make any minor adjustments to help the body be at ease Begin by noticing the places where the body is touching something else Can you feel the contact between your feet and the floor pay attention to the physical feeling of the feet?

There is nothing special to do Just observe how the feet feel in this moment can you continue up to where you can feel the contact between your rear end and The chair or cushion notice the contact and pressure of the upper thighs with the chair rest your awareness here Mindfully observing what this feels like in the body bring the attention to the hands However,

They may be resting feel the places where the hands are touching each other Sitting in the lap or resting on the knees Focus on whatever part of the hand is in contact with something else Now see where you can feel the sensation of the clothes on the body You can scan the body to see where this sensation is present It may be easiest to feel the places where the clothing stops and the skin is exposed such as the arms neck or ankles Finally bring your awareness to the sensation of the air on your skin You may notice the temperature of the air feels different on the palm of the hand Then on the back of the hand you may also feel the wind if you are sitting outside There's no right or wrong Be true to your own experience Start to bring your awareness back to your body To your breath and the space around you as you finish this practice Bring mindfulness to the points of contact during the day whenever you sit down Feel the body come into contact with the chair when you stand up Notice your feet on the floor you may begin to resume the rest of your day
