Your hands should alternate. As one hand brushes upward on your chest, the other hand should be getting ready to do the same on the other side. Think of it like a quick, alternating pedaling motion on your upper chest.
Yes, the tips of your curled middle fingers should lightly touch or brush against your chest as they move upward. However, keep the touch gentle—you don't need to press hard. A light, brisk brushing motion is all you need.
