This a small thing but I have tried a number of ways to place my hands during a session and none of them was effortless until this week I read that placing the left hand palm up and then placing the right hand palm up on top ot the left in your lap witht the thumbs touching to form a triangle was recommended. I have used that for several sessions now and I can say my hands just seem to disappear. There is no effort required for my hands anymore. I said it was a small thing but I think anything that reduces effort is worth sharing maybe it will help someone else.
Also I am still having a lot of thoughts during a session and I know that is ok. Would it be better to pick a subject if you are going to have thoughts or is it better not to.
