The purpose of this paper is to clarify the possibility of body in reading by examining "Shindoku". First, we must examine the concept "Mi (body)" in Japanese and clarify the function of "Mi (body)". "Mi (body)" can synchronize with another "Mi (body)". And this is why "Shindoku" can be possible. Second, we would examine "Shindoku" as a method. "Shindoku" is classified into two. One is "reading with body" and the other is "reading to body". The method of "reading with body" contains "reading with hand", "reading with mouth" and "reading by getting body ready". Michio Namekawa, a pioneer of reading education in Japan, told that we need concentration in "reading by getting body ready" in order to get reading more effectively and deeply. Kakichi Kadowaki, a Christian, told that he could read Bible more deeply by practicing "Zen". We must walk the same way with all our body and soul as the author walked in order to "read to body". If we read a book as a purpose of "Shindoku", we should not receive the book as only written sentences but we should receive what the author says as his own experience. And we should take the author's problem as our own problem. From the viewpoint of "Shindoku", we can see the problem of practice and posture in reading.
