[Blindtlk] Running While Blind, How to Link to Guide

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, Julie,

Try resting your hand on your guides, shoulder so as to detect subtle 
movements of her body. This method, I use exclusively, while being 
guided and not the traditional, grasping of the elbow. No, it isn't 
exactly textbook, but what point is there of a textbook when people 
are gonna use what their gonna use, anyway. Why not be comfortable as 
theymove? 1/2012, Julie J. wrote:
