Texture Walk
Short Answer
Walk barefoot (safely) or touch different surfaces with your hands, focusing on texture, temperature, and micro-changes in sensation.
Safety First
Only use clean, safe surfaces. Avoid unknown outdoor terrain, broken glass risk, and anything sharp or biologically unsafe. If barefoot isn’t appropriate, do a “texture hand scan” instead.
How to Do It (3–8 minutes)
- Pick 3–5 surfaces (wood, tile, fabric, carpet, stone).
- Spend 30–60 seconds on each.
- Notice pressure points, temperature gradients, and friction.
- Describe sensation with precision (gritty, slick, springy).
- End by comparing: which surface felt most “alive” to you?
