Your hands are not the only body parts that you can use to receive your body’s responses. You can learn to use any part of the body in a similar way. If you are having trouble finding the responses in your hands, you can try another body part. Any response to any question can be received in any body part.

Some areas are more convenient for certain types of questions. For me, feet are convenient for body positioning instructions and hands are natural for massage instructions. If both your hands and feet are busy, you can use your face to ask your body a question. Any body part can be used to query any question. It’s usually a good idea to avoid using your abdominal muscles, the first responses that were discovered, because their negative response is a weak form of the vomit reflex. However, it can still be used sparingly, if necessary.
