If you hold your reader in your hand and relax, it doesn't matter whether it is plugged in or not. You will eventually feel a tingle as you allow your awareness of your contact with the Reader to build. But of course you can do this with a rock too, or with an empty hand. If your awareness is sufficient, you will feel an intensity of sensation which is often a tingle. Sometimes it is a lightness, or a thickening, or a warmth, but it is usually a tingling in the rhythm of your heartbeat. Once you become proficient, you can feel this in both hands at the same time. Then by deepening your awareness you can grow to feel it in your face as well. Once you have accomplished this, hands and face, you have involved a majority of your sensory cortex and you are damping other processes in your brain such as cognition. This will become a familiar sensation to you and you will be able to "find" it merely by taking a breath. It can become a comfort in times of tension and anxiety. Sometimes, if you feel too stressed even to read, it will calm you sufficiently that you can concentrate. This sensation can become a useful background for you during a stressful meeting or even in a time of danger.
