[immortal_wisdom]

hi guys im new here i just wanted to ask one question
when im doing the brushing action on my toes or fingers does it have to be so vivid
(i mean do i have to feel the texture of the warm brush hair brushing and annoying my finger tips as it moves on it?
or just i have to move my awareness on the surface of my skin like its being brushed

Even if you are just thinking about it and you don't feel anything at all, it still counts toward your practice. The more you do it the more vivid it becomes. Some days it can be more of a challenge than others. With everything else, the better you feel the easier it can be to do this kind of thing. When you are just starting out learning NEW you can easily use more energy than you raise, but with practice you break even and then consistently raise more energy than you use.
