Triangle

A shape that can meet a place

Triangle is one of five named Field Forms. The hands make an open downward-pointing shape that can rest lightly against a comfortable area of the body. It can accompany what you are already noticing without asking you to change where your awareness has gone.

The thumbs meet above and the index fingertips meet below, leaving an open space between them. The remaining fingers stay relaxed. This is the downward shape used on this page.

Find the Position

Bring the tips of your thumbs together and let your index fingertips meet below them. Let the other fingers rest comfortably. Place the downward-pointing shape lightly against the skin of an area of your upper or lower abdomen that feels comfortable to meet.

Let the contact and the open space within the shape be present alongside what you are already noticing. If you are exploring Triangle on its own, you may notice how the position helps you recognize that particular area. There is no need to press or seek a sensation.

You may move the shape, ease it, or let your hands rest whenever you are ready. If skin contact is uncomfortable or unavailable, you may place the shape over clothing, hold it near a comfortable area, or simply notice that area without making the gesture.

Staying With Contact

In my own practice, I have placed Triangle at different locations from the torso downward. At times, choosing a particular place helped me recognize where movement was already occurring. I also found that changing its position could change the atmosphere I met—its sensations, feeling tone, and sometimes its imagery. The shape gave that experience a location; it did not tell me what the experience meant.

Your contact may feel distinct, quiet, or difficult to name. Nothing needs to move or change. If the position causes pain, numbness, dizziness, distress, fatigue, or strain, ease it or let your hands rest.
