Handshaking is called a "practice" even though it isn't a method, but more of a non-method. It is not so much about something to do as what not to do. It is a re-training of our attitude – the attitude that particular feelings, emotions, moods, or ways of thinking are bad and therefore need to be suppressed, attacked, eliminated, and so on. Handshake is precisely the opposite approach; it allows every feeling and emotion to arise, to be there fully, and to express itself. There is no active judgment of good and bad, right or wrong, and no resistance. So the only "method," which isn't truly a method, is to train in non-judging and non-resisting, in allowing everything to be and reveal itself.
