Full Lesson Notes
Complete Practice
Lie supine, completely passive, and inventory the involuntary oscillations you can detect: heartbeat in the chest, pulse in the carotid, a tremor in a relaxed quadriceps, the slow rise and fall of the abdomen. Identify the slowest involuntary oscillation, the fastest, and any pair that appear to phase-lock — for example, a quad tremor that briefly synchronizes with the carotid pulse. Do not amplify; only catalog. Phase-lock between two unrelated oscillators is the report you want. Challenge: Detecting a brief lock between heartbeat and a quadriceps tremor requires unusual interoceptive resolution; many practitioners will report nothing.
