FILD clarification

I just read about FILD and based on the success rate am eager to try it. However, I tried practicing what I was going to do on my bed just and need to be clear about some things.

-Just how much do we move our fingers in the low movement phase? Do we press down very slightly on the bedsheet or do we just contract the finger muscle?

-I dont feel much when I just try contracting the finger muscle and when I try pushing slightly that finger or another nearby one twitches. Is that normal?

-This seems to work better when I try to only move the upper third of my index/middle finger. I that the right approach or do we try to move the whole finger?

You just very gently contract the finger muscle - you don't want to do too much movement, otherwise FILD becomes useless.

You can try moving the fingers on the other hand if you have trouble doing it on one hand. You could also try your toes.

I don't quite know on the last question - someone else'll have to help you there.

If I only use gentle contraction, my finger probably doesn't move more than 1-2 mm. Is this sufficient movement for FILD?
