This is primarily about two things: attention and intention. ‘Skillful and subtle’ means really turning on your attention in a deep way — like putting all your focus into your fingers to really feel what they feel; the texture of clothing, or little hairs, the feel of the skin (the pliability, roughness or smoothness), and even the muscles, fascia, and bone under the skin. With practice, we can feel all these things and more through our fingers.

‘Transmitting from the fingers to the tissues’ is about intention. Holding the intention to send ourselves care, gentleness, and healing through our fingers.
