FEATHER TOUCH — the lightest thing in the atlas
The one entry that stays open when every other one has closed
With the finger tips of the hands — that is, with the tips of the fingers — stroke the required part of the patient's body with a very soft touch, like a peacock's feather.
This is given for sending impulses through the whole body. It is very beneficial in paralysis, stiffness, pains and in all diseases of the brain.
| Patient's position | Any |

| Where the hands are placed | The finger tips only — stroking the required part of the patient's body with a very soft touch, like a peacock's feather |
| Duration and repetitions | Not counted |
| What it is for | Sending impulses through the whole body. Very beneficial in paralysis, stiffness, pains and in all diseases of the brain; and, in Guruji's own account of it, by this treatment the muscles will relax to a depth of four inches |
This is the treatment for the patient who can be given nothing else. No weight, no jerk, no position that must be held, no bone under a heel. A newborn, a woman in the last weeks of pregnancy, a man whose bones break from a knock, a patient in the acute days after a stroke, a child who will not tolerate being handled, somebody in too much pain to bear a palm — for every one of them the atlas closes, and this one entry stays open. Learn it as the point of last resort and you will use it more than you expect to.
Take that passage as the instruction it is. It says three things a therapist can act on tonight. The body answers to expectation — the mouth waters at the name of a fried thing, without any fried thing. The therapist's own state is part of what is delivered — hurry, irritation and distraction travel down an arm as surely as pressure does. And hold no enmity, which is put as a condition of skill rather than as a piety.
