Not exactly the same thing as a heart skip...but interesting nonetheless...

After you read this sentence, close your eyes and focus all of your attention on how your feet feel for about one minute.




Okay, welcome back. What did you notice? With your mental spotlight pointed at your feet, you probably noticed the pressure where they met the floor, may have sensed what the inside of your shoes felt like, and may have felt your toes touching each other. What words might you use to describe all the sensations you experienced in your feet? Were your feet squashed, relaxed, warm, cold, tingly, sore, itchy?

The most important thing to take away from the exercise is the knowledge that these sensations were there all along - you just weren't paying attention. Later, after your attention has moved on to something else, these sensations will continue on with countless others, unnoticed.

That was neat, I noticed a lot of things like you said, and nothing else in my body going on. Really interesting.
