Bonding & Beyond

SadanYagci: /* The Bonding System */

==The Bonding System==
{{Empty section|comment=The following are notes.}}

There is an aspect of remote querying that is done automatically in relationships. I call it the bonding system.

*It wires people together in cognitive areas that function similarly.
*This type of node operates on every level of a network to create larger nodes. Basically, this system is a weak attempt at forming a collective consciousness between very close individuals.
*Its effects tend to provide some weird soulmate-type effects at random.
**Results in rare thoughts, feelings, and needs transferring between individuals at random.
**Provides compensatory signaling to keep each other alive when one system’s basic instructions have failed in an area. This may result in the medical mystery of old spouses dying within days of each other, as they have become dependent on each other for the regulation of some basic bodily functions.

<b>Conversing with your body</b> involves learning how to communicate with your body in a reliable manner, without interpreting vague signals or making assumptions. Reliable communication has two components: clear-cut action intentions that your body can understand, and clear-cut sensory responses that direct or discourage the clearly intended action. If you intend an action, your body will understand that action intention. If you pay careful attention to a single body part when you intend that action, your body can respond with behavior-directing sensations that encourage or discourage that intended action.

The following are lessons on how to get this communication working, and the associated difficulties and risks.

==The Language Your Body Understands==
The body does not understand English. You are part of your body. You understand English. Your body does not.

There is a language that both you and your body understand: the language of action intentions. It understands what you attempt to do to take care of yourself. It understands when you think about [[food]]. It understands when you think about your [[Needs|bodily needs]]. It understands your physical intentions to go for things that it needs. These are actions, things that you do, so the language has been dubbed Dolish. You can speak to your body in Dolish by doing any one of the following:

*Perform an action (e.g., reach to pick up a bottle of water, to drink it.)
*Intend to perform an action (e.g., look at a bottle of water with intent to reach for it, without actually reaching for it yet.)
*Imagine performing an action (e.g., picture yourself reaching to pick up a bottle of water, to drink it.)

That is how you speak Dolish. Your body understands the intentions underlying the action that you perform or intend to perform, not just the action itself. Picking up an apple to throw it at someone’s head is interpreted by your body in a very different way from picking up an apple to eat it.

==Your Body’s Responses==
Just like your body does not understand English, it also does not speak English. It cannot verbally tell you to go drink some water.

The body responds by either encouraging and directing an action, or by discouraging the action. This feels different in different body parts. In your hands, it can feel like a light tingly sensation that moves closer to or further away from performing the intended action. One moment it might be near your fingertips. The next moment it might have moved back to your wrist. The sensation moves to direct movement towards or away from performing an intended action.

Sensations like this can be triggered all over the body. An encouraging sensation in the [[The Body’s Responses #Foot Responses|feet]] can feel like they desperately need to move, while a discouraging sensation can feel like you are being grounded in place. Responses in the [[The Body’s Responses #Abdominal Responses|abdomen]] tend to take the form of noticeable muscle contractions. The positive abdominal response is a weak form of the encouraging downward pull of needing to scarf down food like crazy, while the negative abdominal response is a weak form of the discouraging upward pull of needing to vomit.

These sensations appear to be weak muscle contractions throughout the body, amplified by your attention. The abdominal response appears to be further amplified by also being a reflex. However, using the abdominal area is not ideal, as the discouraging response from the abdomen is a weak form of the vomit response. The body does not like triggering a weak form of the vomit response hundreds of times per day.

==Variations & Trouble Starting==
If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry. That’s happened with about a quarter of the people that I’ve taught body communication to. It may take a little more time, but you can get it working. This can be for several reasons.

For one, since internal attempts at getting our attention and directing our behavior are often experienced as negative symptoms, there can be interference from medications or other substances, such as alcohol or marijuana. So far, I do have some evidence that marijuana causes interference with getting body communication to work, but I am unaware of what other substances and medications may also have this effect.

In addition, your body may have found, at some point in your life, that these default responses were ineffective at getting you to take care of your body the way your body wanted you to. As a result, your body may have completely abandoned activating these behavior-directing sensations. In some cases, your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains. In other cases, there is no noticeable, reliable alternative communication method being employed. Either way, it’s not hard to get it working again.

<span id="Weird">
One of my friends had an issue with getting body communication working when I was teaching them. They tried to get their body to respond in their hand, like I usually taught people to start with. The sensation, however, wasn’t the normal, light tingly sensation. Instead, it was an ache. It wasn’t even in their hand. The sensation appeared in their [[The_Body’s_Responses#Arm_Responses|arm]]. It was extremely unusual. They later tended to use their [[The_Body’s_Responses#Leg_Responses|leg]] for these responses, as the sensations were easier to trigger and use in their leg, for some reason. It was a reliable way to query, but not ideal. A few years later, they did work on and quickly fix this issue, resulting in normal sensations working rather than having to rely on these pain sensations that their body had been using. Their body needed to run a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] to get it working.
</span>

The next lesson will teach you how to get information from your body. If you have trouble starting, continue to attempt to trigger and watch for the response sensations. However, only do so until you have triggered a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]]. These are noticeable by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a reclining posture, often with elevated feet, and an aversion to particular behaviors, likely what you were doing at the time. Light sensitivity is usually the easiest to spot. It may feel like sensory overload, or it may just feel like you can’t think about this anymore. This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If this rebuild is expected, it is often better to trigger it before going to sleep, as rebuilds are conducive to sleeping and sleep does not interrupt the rebuild process.

Do not continue to attempt to communicate with your body during this [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] process. Your body is attempting to restore body communication functionality. Attempting to use body communication during a rebuild of body communication functionality itself can result in increasingly negative cognitive symptoms, will increase the duration of the rebuild, and may damage the functionality that the rebuild was activated to fix. It may also create a temporary [[Aversions|aversion]] to body communication itself. Please see [[Rebuilds#Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild|Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild]].

After the light sensitivity has passed, you may resume attempting to communicate with your body. If another [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] is expected, it may be a good idea to wait until just before bedtime before you do that though, just in case it happens again.

Even after learning and getting used to these responses, a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] state may still be triggered at any time, as your body expands its ability to communicate with you through these sensations. This is perfectly normal. Rebuild states are common and not dangerous. However, not respecting rebuilds of the functionality of this new ability can cause [[aversions]] to using this ability. In extreme circumstances, ignoring a rebuild can temporarily mess up its functionality. Rebuilds are perfectly safe if you listen to them and avoid the behaviors that you are suddenly averse to. Decreasing lighting and putting your feet up during the process will also make you more comfortable and speed the rebuild process. For more information on rebuilds, see [[Rebuilds]].

You will be warned throughout this website about respecting [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] states. Please use the reminders as a chance to check yourself for any symptoms.

==A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses==
Preparation: Go into a closed room without distractions or air currents. The sensation you are looking for can feel a bit like light wind, so it’s a good idea to minimize air current interference when you first start out.

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |During the learning process, if you suddenly feel an increased sensitivity to light or a preference for a darker environment, stop immediately and go lay down. This is a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]]. Let the system rest and adapt. You can get back to the lesson later. Do not attempt to keep using these internal systems in that state.}}

===Lesson 1: Finding the Sensations===
[[File:Hands Close Together.png|thumb|Move your hands close together.]]
These steps will help you discover the weak sensations in your hands that attempt to direct your hands.

#Place your hands close together but not touching. Hold them in that position.
#Pay attention to one hand for a few seconds. You are looking for a weak sensation that feels like it is either pulling your hands closer together or pushing your hands further apart, sort of like holding a magnet in each hand, close to each other.
#Move your attention to the other hand. Keep your attention on that same sensation.
#Move your attention back and forth between hands, noticing how the strength of the sensation moves with your attention.
#Slowly move your hands closer and further apart. Pay attention to how the sensation moves from one part of your hand to another part of your hand.

These sensations that direct your hands are often mistaken for [[wikipedia:Qi|energy, also referred to as life force, ch’i, qi, or ki]]. It may feel like wind or like your hands are glowing or radiating. They aren’t. These sensations aren’t energy at all. These sensations are weak muscle contractions that attempt to direct your movements. They are not energy or life force or anything of the sort. Your action intentions and imagined actions provoke these weak responses in your muscles. The responses are your body’s attempt to either direct or discourage your intended or imagined actions. When you try to do something, your body either tries to show you how to do it or tries to stop you from doing it. This is the clearest and most reliable way for your body to communicate with you.

===Lesson 2: Using the Sensations===
These steps will teach you how to use those sensations to ask your body a question, worded in the form of an action.

[[File:Hand Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) hand directing sensation locations, from different angles relative to a glass of water, when intending to pick up the glass of water, to drink it.]]

#Hold your hand in an open and relaxed position in front of you.
#Pay attention to that subtle sensation in your hand. Where in your hand do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to reach for water. Do not actually reach for it. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensation moved. Where did it move to?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat lesson 2 with different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. Try water, common meats, or citrus fruits. In a positive response, the sensation in your hand will move towards performing the action. As actions tend to be in front of you, it tends to move toward your fingers.
*A baseline negative response. Try coffee or candy. In a negative response, the sensation in your hand will move away from performing the action.
*A baseline null response. Try an item that you have never eaten and have nothing against. In a null response, the sensation in your hand will stay spread out and basically do nothing.

==Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses==
Your hands are not the only body parts that you can use to receive your body’s responses. You can learn to use any part of the body in a similar way. If you are having trouble finding the responses in your hands, you can try [[The Body’s Responses|another body part]]. Any response to any question can be received in any body part.

Some areas are more convenient for certain types of questions. For me, [[The Body’s Responses #Foot Responses|feet]] are convenient for [[Positioning & Movement#Body Positioning Needs|body positioning instructions]] and hands are natural for [[Massage Sense|massage instructions]]. If both your hands and feet are busy, you can use your [[The Body’s Responses #Facial Responses|face]] to ask your body a question. Any body part can be used to query any question. It’s usually a good idea to avoid using your [[The Body’s Responses #Abdominal Responses|abdominal muscles]]. Even though those were the first responses that were discovered and the strongest muscular response. This is because their negative response is a weak form of the vomit reflex. Your body won’t like triggering that frequently. However, it can still be used sparingly, if necessary.

==Response Doubt==
If you are doubting the sensations you are receiving, check to see if it is getting difficult to focus on or trigger those sensations. This can be a symptom of a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] being triggered, causing an [[Aversions|aversion]] to you triggering those responses. Once again, respect the rebuild and stop using these methods for a while. If you attempt to continue asking your body questions in this state, you are likely to create a longer-term aversion to asking your body questions. This should all feel easy. If it doesn’t, something is likely wrong that needs your attention.

==Verification of Correct Sensation Identification==
[[File:Cacao nibs.jpg|thumb|Cacao nibs]]

If you are teaching body communication to someone else, you may want to determine if they have located sensations that their body can respond through, that they cannot affect. It is helpful to ask the individual to run queries with results that an experienced individual would expect but an inexperienced individual would not. Coffee is a particularly good choice for this.

Most Americans like the taste of coffee and/or drink coffee regularly. It also has an addictive quality that tends to provoke cravings for coffee. For this reason, most Americans appear to expect drinking coffee to be encouraged by their body when learning this method. Everyone’s body that has been queried so far about coffee has produced a negative response to it. Not a single positive result yet. This makes coffee a useful option for determining if someone is querying their body or wrongly interpreting some other sensation.

Often, the individual’s description of the sensations that they are interpreting will also give away whether they’re working with the right sensations or not. If you ask about what a person is feeling when looking for these sensations and they describe sensations associated with physically performing the action, such as a warmth sensation from coffee, they are not yet aware of the correct sensations for facilitating communication with their body and should keep looking for the weak, movement-directing muscle contractions.

For clarification regarding coffee, caffeine itself is not completely discouraged. Several individuals, including me, do get requests for cacao nibs, an ingredient in chocolate that does have some caffeine. My body requests a small amount of cacao nibs per meal. Cacao nibs are tiny and are measured to contain 12mg of caffeine per tablespoon, or less than one milligram per milliliter. That adds up to less than a milligram of caffeine per meal. It is a small amount, but still, it is requested; not completely rejected.

==Influencing Responses==
There are few absolutes in the world. Communicating with the body is no exception. While an individual does not appear to be able to force a positive response from their body with their own preferences or positive beliefs about an action, individuals can force a negative response with their own fears or negative beliefs. If you believe water is contaminated, but you are thirsty, your body will discourage drinking the water, even if there is nothing wrong with it. This concept seems to apply to all needs that the body communicates. The block is on the source of the need fulfillment: the water, the person, the activity. The need itself will still be there, seeking a non-contaminated source of relief. Beliefs like this block certain sources of need fulfillment, but they do not usually block or change the needs themselves.

As an example, if your body is asking for you to eat meat, but you believe that the meat in front of you is contaminated or poisoned, your body will provide a negative response when asked about eating that meat, even though it otherwise would provide a positive response for eating it. This does not depend on your senses. If the meat is perfectly fine but you believe it is not, you will get a negative response where you would normally receive a positive response.

==Review==
===[[#The Language Your Body Understands|The Language Your Body Understands]]===
*Your body understands your actions, not your words.
*You can do something, intend to do something, or imagine doing something. That is how you can talk to your body. That is Dolish.

===[[#Your Body’s Responses|Your Body’s Responses]]===
*Your body responds by directing or discouraging your physical movements when you intend to do something.
*To listen to your body’s responses, you need to pay attention to a single body part that it can reply to you through.
*Any body part will work for any question. The same replies are received anywhere. Different muscles do not represent different organs, different parts of your body, or different decision makers. The same answers are returned anywhere on your body that you can attend to and receive them.

===[[#Variations & Trouble Starting|Variations & Trouble Starting]]===
*It’s common to have trouble finding the sensations of your body communicating with you. Your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains, or it may have stopped providing these responses at all. It’s not hard to get it working again.
*Getting it working again will likely involve rebuilds, evidenced by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a sudden need for a reclining posture (possibly with elevated feet), and a temporary aversion to behaviors such as body communication. You should respect the rebuild process and do what your body seems to want.
*Do not continue to attempt to communicate with your body during this rebuild process.
*This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If you expect it to happen, wait until just before going to bed to trigger it.

===[[#A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses|A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses]]===
*The sensation you are looking for in your hands can feel a bit like light wind, so minimize air current interference when starting out.
*If you place your hands close together, the sensation you are looking for feels like it is either pulling your hands lightly together or pushing your hands lightly apart.
*As you move your hand, the sensation moves around in your hand to continue to direct you in a consistent direction.
*These sensations are often mistaken for energy (ch’i), wind or like your hands are glowing or radiating. They aren’t. These sensations are weak muscle contractions that attempt to direct your movements.
*When you focus on the sensations in your hand and intend to perform an action, you are asking your body a question, or rather, running a query in Dolish.
*It can take practice to get used to communicating with your body like this.
*Your body can respond positively, a yes response, encouraging the action. Your body can respond negatively, a no response, discouraging the action. Your body can also just not respond at all, a null response.

===[[#Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses|Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses]]===
*You can learn to use any part of your body to receive a response from your body.
*Some body parts are more convenient or feel more natural than others, depending on the question you’re asking.
*The abdominal response was the first discovered, but the least useful. The body doesn’t like triggering its negative response, a weak vomit reflex, hundreds of times per day.

===[[#Response Doubt|Response Doubt]]===
*If you are doubting the sensations you are receiving, check to see if it is getting difficult to focus on or trigger those sensations. If so, you may be in a rebuild. Stop immediately. Take a break or a nap.

===[[#Verification of Correct Sensation Identification|Verification of Correct Sensation Identification]]===
*When teaching body communication to someone else, it can help to ask them what response they are getting for intending to eat items that tend to produce negative responses in everyone.
*Coffee tends to produce negative responses for everyone who isn’t starving, even though some sources of caffeine produce positive responses, such as cacao nibs in small amounts.
*When teaching body communication to someone else, it can also help to ask how the sensation they are using feels. If they describe heat, pleasure, or something like that, they have not found the right sensations.

===[[#Influencing Responses|Influencing Responses]]===
*You can’t force your body to respond positively to something it would normally respond negatively to.
*If you think something is poisoned or bad for you, your body can respond negatively to it when it would normally respond positively to it. This does not, however, affect your body’s need for what it is responding positively to. It just blocks that particular source of need fulfillment that you think is bad.

<b>Body Communication</b> was discovered by Sadan Yagci, accidentally, in 2011. It is a method of literally communicating with your own body through action intentions and sensory responses.

This page discusses how it was discovered, how it is being explored, and what it can do.

==About the Author==
Hi, I'm Sadan Yagci. I discovered body communication in 2011. I have been studying it and using it as a “sixth sense”, or rather an additional sense, since 2012. I earned my Bachelor of Science in psychology from the University of West Florida to assist in my study of body communication and search for anyone that had previously made the discovery. Not finding any literature on the topic, I decided to bring it into scientific study myself. Before discovering body communication, I suffered from severe [[depression]], frequently had issues with dehydration, burnt out of coding work, and had a breakdown due to divorce. Through the unexpected discovery of body communication, I eliminated those issues entirely.

I have taught a couple dozen individuals body communication over the years. Almost all of them got it working easily, but I was personally more interested in exploring its effects long-term. Since body communication is so easy to teach, I plan to use this website to bring together those that are interested in expanding their horizons and seeing what it can really do for them.

As body communication has not been formally studied, I plan to use this website, and other mediums, to spread what I and others have observed so far on body communication. My goal is to become a professor specializing in body communication methods. I intend on continuing this work: teaching and researching body communication, properly exploring it in a lab setting, writing about it in peer reviewed papers, and opening it up for testing by other research teams. I might be wrong about body communication, but evidence so far indicates that it could be a game changer for humanity, if properly explored. I intend on exploring it to the best of my abilities, and I hope you will too.

==How It All Started==

<nomobile>[[File:Abdominal Directing - Initial.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) abdominal directing sensation locations when intending to eat meat.]]</nomobile>

Back in 2011, in my early twenties, after I had just returned from living overseas, I took a job as a truck driver, crisscrossing the USA on a weekly basis. I preferred eating healthier foods, when convenient. Getting somewhere with quality food, however, was difficult at best. The truck was moving for both day and night shifts. Fridge space was sparse, freezer space was non-existent, and cooking was just about impossible. I loved fruits and vegetables, so I attempted to go vegetarian. I failed miserably. Not two days into restricting my diet, I started to get strong meat cravings. Figuring that my diet wasn’t appropriately balanced, before or after the change, I started eating meat again. I thought that I was missing nutrients that my body was starting to complain about. I was right about that.

The strong meat cravings stuck around. I was eating a lot of meat for a while, but the cravings came with something else that I had never noticed before. When my attention was on meat, there was a downward muscle contraction in my abdomen that seemed to be encouraging me to eat it. It was familiar, but I had never paid close attention to it before. It was consistent. I was curious, so I started testing how I could activate and use that muscle contraction.

I couldn’t control the muscle manually, but I could trigger it with my attention on meat and the abdominal muscle. It was weird and my curiosity kept getting pulled along with each new finding. The muscle provided two different responses: an encouragement response and a discouragement response, a yes and a no, of varying strengths. I couldn’t control which response I would get, but I could give it different things to respond to: different foods, different behaviors. I had found a weird way to communicate with my body.
<mobileonly>[[File:Abdominal Directing - Initial.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) abdominal directing sensation locations when intending to eat meat.]]</mobileonly>
I originally thought that this communication method that I discovered was just some weird thing that I could do. Just one more weird thing about Sadan. This wasn’t the first time that I had found something odd about myself. However, six months into seriously testing it, I discussed it with my girlfriend at the time. She got it working for herself on her first try. It wasn’t just me. I continued testing it. To this day, I am still testing it and showing others how to use it.

That is where it all started. I wasn’t searching for anything life-altering. I just noticed something odd, got curious, and thought of ways that I could test it to see what was going on. I had no idea what it was or what I could do with it. I didn’t know it then, but finding a muscle that I could trigger with my behavior but not actually control would change everything for me. Now, I communicate with my body like you would hang out with your friends or attend a business meeting. The parts that make up my existence have way different perspectives from my own. They don’t think like I do, or like people in general tend to think. They are different but they are part of me, and we all have the same ultimate goal: to thrive and to live. For that, we are better together. For that, we cooperate.

==How You Can Benefit==
It didn’t take long for benefits to be found that appear to be from working with the body by communicating with it. Changes in functionality range from a loss of feeling hunger or fullness, to a loss of negative symptoms when experiencing a cold. From no more headaches and eliminating depression, to preventing delayed onset muscle soreness. From a reduced need for sleep to an improved ability to care for loved ones.

No one knows what can be accomplished when a person works with their body in all its capacities. Going into it, I didn’t know what was possible and what wasn’t, so I just started trying everything as I went along. I’m writing and sharing this documentation so that anyone may freely explore their own existence in this manner, help test what is going on, and benefit themselves, their loved ones, and hopefully mankind. So, let’s see what we can do.

Synchronization

SadanYagci: /* Lesson */

==The story==
One day, during the first semester of earning my psychology degree, I hadn’t slept the night before. I don’t remember why. My lack of sleep, however, showed. By the time I was at my last class of the day, I had severe issues with memory and wasn’t anywhere near where I needed to be to remember the material that I was about to learn. Unfortunately, the lab material for that anatomy and physiology lab, up to that point, had been provided in person only. We weren’t going by a book, and there were no slides or handouts to print out. My note taking methods required that I be there mentally, as my notes were sparse, and attempts at verboseness tended to mean I missed more and understood less, long-term. So there I was, hoping to find a solution to my fatigue, sitting outside the classroom with seven minutes to go before the lesson started. I decided to try something new.

I started searching my body for any responses to lead my movements. I had no idea what I was looking for. I had no idea if it would help, but I was out of options, so I gave it a shot anyway. I found instructions throughout my body, providing me with directions to make small adjustments to how I was sitting, where I was attending, what I was doing with my hands, my neck. There were a lot of little instructions here and there that I had never noticed before. Seven minutes into this and it was time to go into the classroom. I felt perfectly fine. No fatigue, no cognitive issues. I learned and remembered the lab material without issue. Two hours later, the effects of what I did before class wore off. I suddenly crashed and slept for several hours.

A few days later, I was at school way early and had nothing better to do, so I decided to try it again. Instead of seven minutes, however, this time I spent seventy minutes attending to the little instructions throughout my body. At times I was walking. At times I was sitting. Every motion was subtle. Every action was careful. Every instruction was detailed. I had no idea what I was doing or what effect it was having on me. I had slept well the night before. I didn’t know what to expect, and I didn’t really expect anything at all. It was just a nice thing to do, and it seemed to be good for me, so I went with it.

After seventy minutes of this, a lot of other people were walking the halls of the school, so it was time for me to be social instead of weird. I stopped the process, mostly, but I felt amazing. I felt full of energy. I felt like I could wrestle a bear. No bears around. Shame. The bear would probably win anyway.

I had no idea what was going on internally during this process. I called this trick a synchronization because the process is me aligning myself with all the movement instructions that I could find throughout my body.

==Lesson==
Synchronization can look a bit like meditation from a bystander’s perspective, but it’s a much more active process. It doesn’t require your full attention, but it does require much of it, and it can make other activities difficult, since you can’t choose what to do with your body during the process. You can usually still talk though.

#First take care of any pressing needs. Ask your body if you need anything and go through the process of discovering each need, until you run out of needs.
#Start with your head and work your way down, moving your attention through your body, looking for any general movement instructions. Do everything slowly and carefully. If the instructions move, follow them.
#*Angle of your head.
#*Where should your eyes focus? Or relax? Or close?
#*Forehead?
#*Cheeks?
#*Jaw?
#*Neck?
#*How should you be resting your shoulders, or perhaps moving them?
#*The angle of your back?
#*The exact position of your hands?
#*Fingers?
#*Elbows? Seriously, go slow and skip nothing.
#Every time you run out of instructions in an area, move to another, and another, and another. Keep going, repeating step #1 as you go along. If you find no instructions, search somewhere else. The act of looking is good for you in and of itself. You cannot look too much.
#You can stop any time that you want, but the longer you go on, the stronger the effect will be, though I have never tried to go beyond 70 minutes.

==How It Works==
Internally, multiple things are going on during a synchronization that result in how you feel afterwards.

*You are making it easier to notice and work with your body after you stop performing the synchronization by making cooperation on the forefront of your attention.
*You are reducing the physical burden on the parts of your body that you are adjusting the positions of during synchronization.
*You’re reducing your short-term sleep synchronization burden. When you are awake and not following your body’s needs, you are all diverging in multiple directions. There is a synchronization system that makes it more likely for you to work better with your body in the future. This process occurs mostly while you sleep. This is the sleep synchronization process. You build up a sleep synchronization burden during the day, as you resist your body’s attempts at directing your behavior. This burden can also build up from network conflicts: your body disagreeing with itself.
*You are reducing the behavior inhibitory burden placed on you and other nodes on your network when you are not working with your body.

It’s a cool process and I haven’t found any associated negative effects with the process. It does take time to perform, but the results of a synchronization are well worth the effort. However, performing a synchronization is not always encouraged.

<b>Conversing with your body</b> involves learning how to communicate with your body in a reliable manner, without interpreting vague signals or making assumptions. Reliable communication has two components: clear-cut action intentions that your body can understand, and clear-cut sensory responses that direct or discourage the clearly intended action. If you intend an action, your body will understand that action intention. If you pay careful attention to a single body part when you intend that action, your body can respond with behavior-directing sensations that encourage or discourage that intended action.

The following are lessons on how to get this communication working, and the associated difficulties and risks.

==The Language Your Body Understands==
The body does not understand English. You are part of your body. You understand English. Your body does not.

There is a language that both you and your body understand: the language of action intentions. It understands what you attempt to do to take care of yourself. It understands when you think about [[food]]. It understands when you think about your [[Needs|bodily needs]]. It understands your physical intentions to go for things that it needs. These are actions, things that you do, so the language has been dubbed Dolish. You can speak to your body in Dolish by doing any one of the following:

*Perform an action (e.g., reach to pick up a bottle of water, to drink it.)
*Intend to perform an action (e.g., look at a bottle of water with intent to reach for it, without actually reaching for it yet.)
*Imagine performing an action (e.g., picture yourself reaching to pick up a bottle of water, to drink it.)

That is how you speak Dolish. Your body understands the intentions underlying the action that you perform or intend to perform, not just the action itself. Picking up an apple to throw it at someone’s head is interpreted by your body in a very different way from picking up an apple to eat it.

==Your Body’s Responses==
Just like your body does not understand English, it also does not speak English. It cannot verbally tell you to go drink some water.

The body responds by either encouraging and directing an action, or by discouraging the action. This feels different in different body parts. In your hands, it can feel like a light tingly sensation that moves closer to or further away from performing the intended action. One moment it might be near your fingertips. The next moment it might have moved back to your wrist. The sensation moves to direct movement towards or away from performing an intended action.

Sensations like this can be triggered all over the body. An encouraging sensation in the [[The Body’s Responses #Foot Responses|feet]] can feel like they desperately need to move, while a discouraging sensation can feel like you are being grounded in place. Responses in the [[The Body’s Responses #Abdominal Responses|abdomen]] tend to take the form of noticeable muscle contractions. The positive abdominal response is a weak form of the encouraging downward pull of needing to scarf down food like crazy, while the negative abdominal response is a weak form of the discouraging upward pull of needing to vomit.

These sensations appear to be weak muscle contractions throughout the body, amplified by your attention. The abdominal response appears to be further amplified by also being a reflex. However, using the abdominal area is not ideal, as the discouraging response from the abdomen is a weak form of the vomit response. The body does not like triggering a weak form of the vomit response hundreds of times per day.

==Variations & Trouble Starting==
If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry. That’s happened with about a quarter of the people that I’ve taught body communication to. It may take a little more time, but you can get it working. This can be for several reasons.

For one, since internal attempts at getting our attention and directing our behavior are often experienced as negative symptoms, there can be interference from medications or other substances, such as alcohol or marijuana. So far, I do have some evidence that marijuana causes interference with getting body communication to work, but I am unaware of what other substances and medications may also have this effect.

In addition, your body may have found, at some point in your life, that these default responses were ineffective at getting you to take care of your body the way your body wanted you to. As a result, your body may have completely abandoned activating these behavior-directing sensations. In some cases, your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains. In other cases, there is no noticeable, reliable alternative communication method being employed. Either way, it’s not hard to get it working again.

<span id="Weird">
One of my friends had an issue with getting body communication working when I was teaching them. They tried to get their body to respond in their hand, like I usually taught people to start with. The sensation, however, wasn’t the normal, light tingly sensation. Instead, it was an ache. It wasn’t even in their hand. The sensation appeared in their [[The_Body’s_Responses#Arm_Responses|arm]]. It was extremely unusual. They later tended to use their [[The_Body’s_Responses#Leg_Responses|leg]] for these responses, as the sensations were easier to trigger and use in their leg, for some reason. It was a reliable way to query, but not ideal. A few years later, they did work on and quickly fix this issue, resulting in normal sensations working rather than having to rely on these pain sensations that their body had been using. Their body needed to run a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] to get it working.
</span>

The next lesson will teach you how to get information from your body. If you have trouble starting, continue to attempt to trigger and watch for the response sensations. However, only do so until you have triggered a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]]. These are noticeable by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a reclining posture, often with elevated feet, and an aversion to particular behaviors, likely what you were doing at the time. Light sensitivity is usually the easiest to spot. It may feel like sensory overload, or it may just feel like you can’t think about this anymore. This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If this rebuild is expected, it is often better to trigger it before going to sleep, as rebuilds are conducive to sleeping and sleep does not interrupt the rebuild process.

Do not continue to attempt to communicate with your body during this [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] process. Your body is attempting to restore body communication functionality. Attempting to use body communication during a rebuild of body communication functionality itself can result in increasingly negative cognitive symptoms, will increase the duration of the rebuild, and may damage the functionality that the rebuild was activated to fix. It may also create a temporary [[Aversions|aversion]] to body communication itself. Please see [[Rebuilds#Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild|Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild]].

After the light sensitivity has passed, you may resume attempting to communicate with your body. If another [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] is expected, it may be a good idea to wait until just before bedtime before you do that though, just in case it happens again.

Even after learning and getting used to these responses, a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] state may still be triggered at any time, as your body expands its ability to communicate with you through these sensations. This is perfectly normal. Rebuild states are common and not dangerous. However, not respecting rebuilds of the functionality of this new ability can cause [[aversions]] to using this ability. In extreme circumstances, ignoring a rebuild can temporarily mess up its functionality. Rebuilds are perfectly safe if you listen to them and avoid the behaviors that you are suddenly averse to. Decreasing lighting and putting your feet up during the process will also make you more comfortable and speed the rebuild process. For more information on rebuilds, see [[Rebuilds]].

You will be warned throughout this website about respecting [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] states. Please use the reminders as a chance to check yourself for any symptoms.

==A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses==
Preparation: Go into a closed room without distractions or air currents. The sensation you are looking for can feel a bit like light wind, so it’s a good idea to minimize air current interference when you first start out.

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |During the learning process, if you suddenly feel an increased sensitivity to light or a preference for a darker environment, stop immediately and go lay down. This is a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]]. Let the system rest and adapt. You can get back to the lesson later. Do not attempt to keep using these internal systems in that state.}}

===Lesson 1: Finding the Sensations===
[[File:Hands Close Together.png|thumb|Move your hands close together.]]
These steps will help you discover the weak sensations in your hands that attempt to direct your hands.

#Place your hands close together but not touching. Hold them in that position.
#Pay attention to one hand for a few seconds. You are looking for a weak sensation that feels like it is either pulling your hands closer together or pushing your hands further apart, sort of like holding a magnet in each hand, close to each other.
#Move your attention to the other hand. Keep your attention on that same sensation.
#Move your attention back and forth between hands, noticing how the strength of the sensation moves with your attention.
#Slowly move your hands closer and further apart. Pay attention to how the sensation moves from one part of your hand to another part of your hand.

These sensations that direct your hands are often mistaken for [[wikipedia:Qi|energy, also referred to as life force, ch’i, qi, or ki]]. It may feel like wind or like your hands are glowing or radiating. They aren’t. These sensations aren’t energy at all. These sensations are weak muscle contractions that attempt to direct your movements. They are not energy or life force or anything of the sort. Your action intentions and imagined actions provoke these weak responses in your muscles. The responses are your body’s attempt to either direct or discourage your intended or imagined actions. When you try to do something, your body either tries to show you how to do it or tries to stop you from doing it. This is the clearest and most reliable way for your body to communicate with you.

===Lesson 2: Using the Sensations===
These steps will teach you how to use those sensations to ask your body a question, worded in the form of an action.

[[File:Hand Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) hand directing sensation locations, from different angles relative to a glass of water, when intending to pick up the glass of water, to drink it.]]

#Hold your hand in an open and relaxed position in front of you.
#Pay attention to that subtle sensation in your hand. Where in your hand do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to reach for water. Do not actually reach for it. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensation moved. Where did it move to?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat lesson 2 with different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. Try water, common meats, or citrus fruits. In a positive response, the sensation in your hand will move towards performing the action. As actions tend to be in front of you, it tends to move toward your fingers.
*A baseline negative response. Try coffee or candy. In a negative response, the sensation in your hand will move away from performing the action.
*A baseline null response. Try an item that you have never eaten and have nothing against. In a null response, the sensation in your hand will stay spread out and basically do nothing.

==Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses==
Your hands are not the only body parts that you can use to receive your body’s responses. You can learn to use any part of the body in a similar way. If you are having trouble finding the responses in your hands, you can try [[The Body’s Responses|another body part]]. Any response to any question can be received in any body part.

Some areas are more convenient for certain types of questions. For me, [[The Body’s Responses #Foot Responses|feet]] are convenient for [[Positioning & Movement#Body Positioning Needs|body positioning instructions]] and hands are natural for [[Massage Sense|massage instructions]]. If both your hands and feet are busy, you can use your [[The Body’s Responses #Facial Responses|face]] to ask your body a question. Any body part can be used to query any question. It’s usually a good idea to avoid using your [[The Body’s Responses #Abdominal Responses|abdominal muscles]], the first responses that were discovered, because their negative response is a weak form of the vomit reflex. However, it can still be used sparingly, if necessary.

==Response Doubt==
If you are doubting the sensations you are receiving, check to see if it is getting difficult to focus on or trigger those sensations. This can be a symptom of a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] being triggered, causing an [[Aversions|aversion]] to you triggering those responses. Once again, respect the rebuild and stop using these methods for a while. If you attempt to continue asking your body questions in this state, you are likely to create a longer-term aversion to asking your body questions. This should all feel easy. If it doesn’t, something is likely wrong that needs your attention.

==Verification of Correct Sensation Identification==
[[File:Cacao nibs.jpg|thumb|Cacao nibs]]

If you are teaching body communication to someone else, you may want to determine if they have located sensations that their body can respond through, that they cannot affect. It is helpful to ask the individual to run queries with results that an experienced individual would expect but an inexperienced individual would not. Coffee is a particularly good choice for this.

Most Americans like the taste of coffee and/or drink coffee regularly. It also has an addictive quality that tends to provoke cravings for coffee. For this reason, most Americans appear to expect drinking coffee to be encouraged by their body when learning this method. Everyone’s body that has been queried so far about coffee has produced a negative response to it. Not a single positive result yet. This makes coffee a useful option for determining if someone is querying their body or wrongly interpreting some other sensation.

Often, the individual’s description of the sensations that they are interpreting will also give away whether they’re working with the right sensations or not. If you ask about what a person is feeling when looking for these sensations and they describe sensations associated with physically performing the action, such as a warmth sensation from coffee, they are not yet aware of the correct sensations for facilitating communication with their body and should keep looking for the weak, movement-directing muscle contractions.

For clarification regarding coffee, caffeine itself is not completely discouraged. Several individuals, including me, do get requests for cacao nibs, an ingredient in chocolate that does have some caffeine. My body requests a small amount of cacao nibs per meal. Cacao nibs are tiny and are measured to contain 12mg of caffeine per tablespoon, or less than one milligram per milliliter. That adds up to less than a milligram of caffeine per meal. It is a small amount, but still, it is requested; not completely rejected.

==Influencing Responses==
There are few absolutes in the world. Communicating with the body is no exception. While an individual does not appear to be able to force a positive response from their body with their own preferences or positive beliefs about an action, individuals can force a negative response with their own fears or negative beliefs. If you believe water is contaminated, but you are thirsty, your body will discourage drinking the water, even if there is nothing wrong with it. This concept seems to apply to all needs that the body communicates. The block is on the source of the need fulfillment: the water, the person, the activity. The need itself will still be there, seeking a non-contaminated source of relief. Beliefs like this block certain sources of need fulfillment, but they do not usually block or change the needs themselves.

As an example, if your body is asking for you to eat meat, but you believe that the meat in front of you is contaminated or poisoned, your body will provide a negative response when asked about eating that meat, even though it otherwise would provide a positive response for eating it. This does not depend on your senses. If the meat is perfectly fine but you believe it is not, you will get a negative response where you would normally receive a positive response.

==Review==
===[[#The Language Your Body Understands|The Language Your Body Understands]]===
*Your body understands your actions, not your words.
*You can do something, intend to do something, or imagine doing something. That is how you can talk to your body. That is Dolish.

===[[#Your Body’s Responses|Your Body’s Responses]]===
*Your body responds by directing or discouraging your physical movements when you intend to do something.
*To listen to your body’s responses, you need to pay attention to a single body part that it can reply to you through.
*Any body part will work for any question. The same replies are received anywhere. Different muscles do not represent different organs, different parts of your body, or different decision makers. The same answers are returned anywhere on your body that you can attend to and receive them.

===[[#Variations & Trouble Starting|Variations & Trouble Starting]]===
*It’s common to have trouble finding the sensations of your body communicating with you. Your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains, or it may have stopped providing these responses at all. It’s not hard to get it working again.
*Getting it working again will likely involve rebuilds, evidenced by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a sudden need for a reclining posture (possibly with elevated feet), and a temporary aversion to behaviors such as body communication. You should respect the rebuild process and do what your body seems to want.
*Do not continue to attempt to communicate with your body during this rebuild process.
*This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If you expect it to happen, wait until just before going to bed to trigger it.

===[[#A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses|A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses]]===
*The sensation you are looking for in your hands can feel a bit like light wind, so minimize air current interference when starting out.
*If you place your hands close together, the sensation you are looking for feels like it is either pulling your hands lightly together or pushing your hands lightly apart.
*As you move your hand, the sensation moves around in your hand to continue to direct you in a consistent direction.
*These sensations are often mistaken for energy (ch’i), wind or like your hands are glowing or radiating. They aren’t. These sensations are weak muscle contractions that attempt to direct your movements.
*When you focus on the sensations in your hand and intend to perform an action, you are asking your body a question, or rather, running a query in Dolish.
*It can take practice to get used to communicating with your body like this.
*Your body can respond positively, a yes response, encouraging the action. Your body can respond negatively, a no response, discouraging the action. Your body can also just not respond at all, a null response.

===[[#Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses|Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses]]===
*You can learn to use any part of your body to receive a response from your body.
*Some body parts are more convenient or feel more natural than others, depending on the question you’re asking.
*The abdominal response was the first discovered, but the least useful. The body doesn’t like triggering its negative response, a weak vomit reflex, hundreds of times per day.

===[[#Response Doubt|Response Doubt]]===
*If you are doubting the sensations you are receiving, check to see if it is getting difficult to focus on or trigger those sensations. If so, you may be in a rebuild. Stop immediately. Take a break or a nap.

===[[#Verification of Correct Sensation Identification|Verification of Correct Sensation Identification]]===
*When teaching body communication to someone else, it can help to ask them what response they are getting for intending to eat items that tend to produce negative responses in everyone.
*Coffee tends to produce negative responses for everyone who isn’t starving, even though some sources of caffeine produce positive responses, such as cacao nibs in small amounts.
*When teaching body communication to someone else, it can also help to ask how the sensation they are using feels. If they describe heat, pleasure, or something like that, they have not found the right sensations.

===[[#Influencing Responses|Influencing Responses]]===
*You can’t force your body to respond positively to something it would normally respond negatively to.
*If you think something is poisoned or bad for you, your body can respond negatively to it when it would normally respond positively to it. This does not, however, affect your body’s need for what it is responding positively to. It just blocks that particular source of need fulfillment that you think is bad.

<b>Conversing with your body</b> involves learning how to communicate with your body in a reliable manner, without interpreting vague signals or making assumptions. Reliable communication has two components: clear-cut action intentions that your body can understand, and clear-cut sensory responses that direct or discourage the clearly intended action. If you intend an action, your body will understand that action intention. If you pay careful attention to a single body part when you intend that action, your body can respond with behavior-directing sensations that encourage or discourage that intended action.

The following are lessons on how to get this communication working, and the associated difficulties and risks.

==The Language Your Body Understands==
The body does not understand English. You are part of your body. You understand English. Your body does not.

There is a language that both you and your body understand: the language of action intentions. It understands what you attempt to do to take care of yourself. It understands when you think about [[food]]. It understands when you think about your [[Needs|bodily needs]]. It understands your physical intentions to go for things that it needs. These are actions, things that you do, so the language has been dubbed Dolish. You can speak to your body in Dolish by doing any one of the following:

*Perform an action (e.g., reach to pick up a bottle of water, to drink it.)
*Intend to perform an action (e.g., look at a bottle of water with intent to reach for it, without actually reaching for it yet.)
*Imagine performing an action (e.g., picture yourself reaching to pick up a bottle of water, to drink it.)

That is how you speak Dolish. Your body understands the intentions underlying the action that you perform or intend to perform, not just the action itself. Picking up an apple to throw it at someone’s head is interpreted by your body in a very different way from picking up an apple to eat it.

==Your Body’s Responses==
Just like your body does not understand English, it also does not speak English. It cannot verbally tell you to go drink some water.

The body responds by either encouraging and directing an action, or by discouraging the action. This feels different in different body parts. In your hands, it can feel like a light tingly sensation that moves closer to or further away from performing the intended action. One moment it might be near your fingertips. The next moment it might have moved back to your wrist. The sensation moves to direct movement towards or away from performing an intended action.

Sensations like this can be triggered all over the body. An encouraging sensation in the [[The Body’s Responses #Foot Responses|feet]] can feel like they desperately need to move, while a discouraging sensation can feel like you are being grounded in place. Responses in the [[The Body’s Responses #Abdominal Responses|abdomen]] tend to take the form of noticeable muscle contractions. The positive abdominal response is a weak form of the encouraging downward pull of needing to scarf down food like crazy, while the negative abdominal response is a weak form of the discouraging upward pull of needing to vomit.

These sensations appear to be weak muscle contractions throughout the body, amplified by your attention. The abdominal response appears to be further amplified by also being a reflex. However, using the abdominal area is not ideal, as the discouraging response from the abdomen is a weak form of the vomit response. The body does not like triggering a weak form of the vomit response hundreds of times per day.

==Variations & Trouble Starting==
If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry. That’s happened with about a quarter of the people that I’ve taught body communication to. It may take a little more time, but you can get it working. This can be for several reasons. Your body may have found, at some point in your life, that these default responses were ineffective at getting you to take care of your body the way your body wanted you to. As a result, your body may have completely abandoned activating these behavior-directing sensations. In some cases, your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains. In other cases, there is no noticeable, reliable alternative communication method being employed. Either way, it’s not hard to get it working again.

In addition, since internal attempts at getting our attention and directing our behavior are often experienced as negative symptoms, there can be interference from medications or other substances, such as alcohol or marijuana. So far, I do have some evidence that marijuana causes interference with getting body communication to work, but I am unaware of what other substances and medications may also have this effect.

<span id="Weird">
One of my friends had an issue like this when I taught them body communication. They tried to get their body to respond in their hand, like I usually taught people to start with. The sensation, however, wasn’t the normal, light tingly sensation. Instead, it was an ache. It wasn’t even in their hand. The sensation appeared in their [[The_Body’s_Responses#Arm_Responses|arm]]. It was extremely unusual. They later tended to use their [[The_Body’s_Responses#Leg_Responses|leg]] for these responses, as the sensations were easier to trigger and use in their leg, for some reason. It was a reliable way to query, but not ideal. A few years later, they did work on and quickly fix this issue, resulting in normal sensations working rather than having to rely on these pain sensations that their body had been using. Their body needed to run a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] to get it working.
</span>

The next lesson will teach you how to get information from your body. If you have trouble starting, continue to attempt to trigger and watch for the response sensations. However, only do so until you have triggered a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]]. These are noticeable by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a reclining posture, often with elevated feet, and an aversion to particular behaviors, likely what you were doing at the time. Light sensitivity is usually the easiest to spot. It may feel like sensory overload, or it may just feel like you can’t think about this anymore. This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If this rebuild is expected, it is often better to trigger it before going to sleep, as rebuilds are conducive to sleeping and sleep does not interrupt the rebuild process.

Do not continue to attempt to communicate with your body during this [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] process. Your body is attempting to restore body communication functionality. Attempting to use body communication during a rebuild of body communication functionality itself can result in increasingly negative cognitive symptoms, will increase the duration of the rebuild, and may damage the functionality that the rebuild was activated to fix. It may also create a temporary [[Aversions|aversion]] to body communication itself. Please see [[Rebuilds#Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild|Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild]].

After the light sensitivity has passed, you may resume attempting to communicate with your body. If another [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] is expected, it may be a good idea to wait until just before bedtime before you do that though, just in case it happens again.

Even after learning and getting used to these responses, a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] state may still be triggered at any time, as your body expands its ability to communicate with you through these sensations. This is perfectly normal. Rebuild states are common and not dangerous. However, not respecting rebuilds of the functionality of this new ability can cause [[aversions]] to using this ability. In extreme circumstances, ignoring a rebuild can temporarily mess up its functionality. Rebuilds are perfectly safe if you listen to them and avoid the behaviors that you are suddenly averse to. Decreasing lighting and putting your feet up during the process will also make you more comfortable and speed the rebuild process. For more information on rebuilds, see [[Rebuilds]].

You will be warned throughout this website about respecting [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] states. Please use the reminders as a chance to check yourself for any symptoms.

==A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses==
Preparation: Go into a closed room without distractions or air currents. The sensation you are looking for can feel a bit like light wind, so it’s a good idea to minimize air current interference when you first start out.

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |During the learning process, if you suddenly feel an increased sensitivity to light or a preference for a darker environment, stop immediately and go lay down. This is a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]]. Let the system rest and adapt. You can get back to the lesson later. Do not attempt to keep using these internal systems in that state.}}

===Lesson 1: Finding the Sensations===
[[File:Hands Close Together.png|thumb|Move your hands close together.]]
These steps will help you discover the weak sensations in your hands that attempt to direct your hands.

#Place your hands close together but not touching. Hold them in that position.
#Pay attention to one hand for a few seconds. You are looking for a weak sensation that feels like it is either pulling your hands closer together or pushing your hands further apart, sort of like holding a magnet in each hand, close to each other.
#Move your attention to the other hand. Keep your attention on that same sensation.
#Move your attention back and forth between hands, noticing how the strength of the sensation moves with your attention.
#Slowly move your hands closer and further apart. Pay attention to how the sensation moves from one part of your hand to another part of your hand.

These sensations that direct your hands are often mistaken for [[wikipedia:Qi|energy, also referred to as life force, ch’i, qi, or ki]]. It may feel like wind or like your hands are glowing or radiating. They aren’t. These sensations aren’t energy at all. These sensations are weak muscle contractions that attempt to direct your movements. They are not energy or life force or anything of the sort. Your action intentions and imagined actions provoke these weak responses in your muscles. The responses are your body’s attempt to either direct or discourage your intended or imagined actions. When you try to do something, your body either tries to show you how to do it or tries to stop you from doing it. This is the clearest and most reliable way for your body to communicate with you.

===Lesson 2: Using the Sensations===
These steps will teach you how to use those sensations to ask your body a question, worded in the form of an action.

[[File:Hand Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) hand directing sensation locations, from different angles relative to a glass of water, when intending to pick up the glass of water, to drink it.]]

#Hold your hand in an open and relaxed position in front of you.
#Pay attention to that subtle sensation in your hand. Where in your hand do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to reach for water. Do not actually reach for it. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensation moved. Where did it move to?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat lesson 2 with different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. Try water, common meats, or citrus fruits. In a positive response, the sensation in your hand will move towards performing the action. As actions tend to be in front of you, it tends to move toward your fingers.
*A baseline negative response. Try coffee or candy. In a negative response, the sensation in your hand will move away from performing the action.
*A baseline null response. Try an item that you have never eaten and have nothing against. In a null response, the sensation in your hand will stay spread out and basically do nothing.

==Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses==
Your hands are not the only body parts that you can use to receive your body’s responses. You can learn to use any part of the body in a similar way. If you are having trouble finding the responses in your hands, you can try [[The Body’s Responses|another body part]]. Any response to any question can be received in any body part.

Some areas are more convenient for certain types of questions. For me, [[The Body’s Responses #Foot Responses|feet]] are convenient for [[Positioning & Movement#Body Positioning Needs|body positioning instructions]] and hands are natural for [[Massage Sense|massage instructions]]. If both your hands and feet are busy, you can use your [[The Body’s Responses #Facial Responses|face]] to ask your body a question. Any body part can be used to query any question. It’s usually a good idea to avoid using your [[The Body’s Responses #Abdominal Responses|abdominal muscles]], the first responses that were discovered, because their negative response is a weak form of the vomit reflex. However, it can still be used sparingly, if necessary.

==Response Doubt==
If you are doubting the sensations you are receiving, check to see if it is getting difficult to focus on or trigger those sensations. This can be a symptom of a [[Rebuilds|rebuild]] being triggered, causing an [[Aversions|aversion]] to you triggering those responses. Once again, respect the rebuild and stop using these methods for a while. If you attempt to continue asking your body questions in this state, you are likely to create a longer-term aversion to asking your body questions. This should all feel easy. If it doesn’t, something is likely wrong that needs your attention.

==Verification of Correct Sensation Identification==
[[File:Cacao nibs.jpg|thumb|Cacao nibs]]

If you are teaching body communication to someone else, you may want to determine if they have located sensations that their body can respond through, that they cannot affect. It is helpful to ask the individual to run queries with results that an experienced individual would expect but an inexperienced individual would not. Coffee is a particularly good choice for this.

Most Americans like the taste of coffee and/or drink coffee regularly. It also has an addictive quality that tends to provoke cravings for coffee. For this reason, most Americans appear to expect drinking coffee to be encouraged by their body when learning this method. Everyone’s body that has been queried so far about coffee has produced a negative response to it. Not a single positive result yet. This makes coffee a useful option for determining if someone is querying their body or wrongly interpreting some other sensation.

Often, the individual’s description of the sensations that they are interpreting will also give away whether they’re working with the right sensations or not. If you ask about what a person is feeling when looking for these sensations and they describe sensations associated with physically performing the action, such as a warmth sensation from coffee, they are not yet aware of the correct sensations for facilitating communication with their body and should keep looking for the weak, movement-directing muscle contractions.

For clarification regarding coffee, caffeine itself is not completely discouraged. Several individuals, including me, do get requests for cacao nibs, an ingredient in chocolate that does have some caffeine. My body requests a small amount of cacao nibs per meal. Cacao nibs are tiny and are measured to contain 12mg of caffeine per tablespoon, or less than one milligram per milliliter. That adds up to less than a milligram of caffeine per meal. It is a small amount, but still, it is requested; not completely rejected.

==Influencing Responses==
There are few absolutes in the world. Communicating with the body is no exception. While an individual does not appear to be able to force a positive response from their body with their own preferences or positive beliefs about an action, individuals can force a negative response with their own fears or negative beliefs. If you believe water is contaminated, but you are thirsty, your body will discourage drinking the water, even if there is nothing wrong with it. This concept seems to apply to all needs that the body communicates. The block is on the source of the need fulfillment: the water, the person, the activity. The need itself will still be there, seeking a non-contaminated source of relief. Beliefs like this block certain sources of need fulfillment, but they do not usually block or change the needs themselves.

As an example, if your body is asking for you to eat meat, but you believe that the meat in front of you is contaminated or poisoned, your body will provide a negative response when asked about eating that meat, even though it otherwise would provide a positive response for eating it. This does not depend on your senses. If the meat is perfectly fine but you believe it is not, you will get a negative response where you would normally receive a positive response.

==Review==
===[[#The Language Your Body Understands|The Language Your Body Understands]]===
*Your body understands your actions, not your words.
*You can do something, intend to do something, or imagine doing something. That is how you can talk to your body. That is Dolish.

===[[#Your Body’s Responses|Your Body’s Responses]]===
*Your body responds by directing or discouraging your physical movements when you intend to do something.
*To listen to your body’s responses, you need to pay attention to a single body part that it can reply to you through.
*Any body part will work for any question. The same replies are received anywhere. Different muscles do not represent different organs, different parts of your body, or different decision makers. The same answers are returned anywhere on your body that you can attend to and receive them.

===[[#Variations & Trouble Starting|Variations & Trouble Starting]]===
*It’s common to have trouble finding the sensations of your body communicating with you. Your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains, or it may have stopped providing these responses at all. It’s not hard to get it working again.
*Getting it working again will likely involve rebuilds, evidenced by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a sudden need for a reclining posture (possibly with elevated feet), and a temporary aversion to behaviors such as body communication. You should respect the rebuild process and do what your body seems to want.
*Do not continue to attempt to communicate with your body during this rebuild process.
*This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If you expect it to happen, wait until just before going to bed to trigger it.

===[[#A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses|A Beginner's Guide to Hand Responses]]===
*The sensation you are looking for in your hands can feel a bit like light wind, so minimize air current interference when starting out.
*If you place your hands close together, the sensation you are looking for feels like it is either pulling your hands lightly together or pushing your hands lightly apart.
*As you move your hand, the sensation moves around in your hand to continue to direct you in a consistent direction.
*These sensations are often mistaken for energy (ch’i), wind or like your hands are glowing or radiating. They aren’t. These sensations are weak muscle contractions that attempt to direct your movements.
*When you focus on the sensations in your hand and intend to perform an action, you are asking your body a question, or rather, running a query in Dolish.
*It can take practice to get used to communicating with your body like this.
*Your body can respond positively, a yes response, encouraging the action. Your body can respond negatively, a no response, discouraging the action. Your body can also just not respond at all, a null response.

===[[#Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses|Alternative Body Parts for Receiving Responses]]===
*You can learn to use any part of your body to receive a response from your body.
*Some body parts are more convenient or feel more natural than others, depending on the question you’re asking.
*The abdominal response was the first discovered, but the least useful. The body doesn’t like triggering its negative response, a weak vomit reflex, hundreds of times per day.

===[[#Response Doubt|Response Doubt]]===
*If you are doubting the sensations you are receiving, check to see if it is getting difficult to focus on or trigger those sensations. If so, you may be in a rebuild. Stop immediately. Take a break or a nap.

===[[#Verification of Correct Sensation Identification|Verification of Correct Sensation Identification]]===
*When teaching body communication to someone else, it can help to ask them what response they are getting for intending to eat items that tend to produce negative responses in everyone.
*Coffee tends to produce negative responses for everyone who isn’t starving, even though some sources of caffeine produce positive responses, such as cacao nibs in small amounts.
*When teaching body communication to someone else, it can also help to ask how the sensation they are using feels. If they describe heat, pleasure, or something like that, they have not found the right sensations.

===[[#Influencing Responses|Influencing Responses]]===
*You can’t force your body to respond positively to something it would normally respond negatively to.
*If you think something is poisoned or bad for you, your body can respond negatively to it when it would normally respond positively to it. This does not, however, affect your body’s need for what it is responding positively to. It just blocks that particular source of need fulfillment that you think is bad.

'''Is this your favorite task that you perform?'''
{{Blockquote
|text=No, I like this task but I prefer other tasks. This task is something that every node does. We all assist when requested, depending on the situation and how much we are being pulled to provide assistance. My favorite task doesn't involve external nodes at all. It involves internal nodes. I pick a node that makes up me and put my attention on it to encourage it minorly. I never turn that [[Adding Useful Functionality #Network Authority Amplifier|massive attention amplifier]] on them. That would be too much. But I, individually, get them to expand their abilities by providing them with a little more to work with than they are used to. It feels uncomfortable, but it's what makes me so good at what I do. Before I learned how to do this, I was getting overwhelmed a lot. I kept having to shut down for rebuilds. This is a new thing that I learned that I could do after the [[Adding Useful Functionality #Rebuild Inhibitor-Wave Modulating System|rebuild modulation system]] was developed. I amplify one of my internal nodes to the point of stress. The node inside me rebuilds. The rebuild modulation system localizes the rebuild so that I don't have to deal with it much. It affects very little of my abilities, especially since I upgraded to have multiple redundancies for all of my internal functions.

Diplomacy is new to our world. We pull each other for help, and we push each other around. We step on each other. We harm and torture each other. I don't know what to think about all of that. I don't know how to feel about it, but I can tell that being kind is better for everyone. It brings peace. We all want peace.

'''Is diplomacy difficult for you?'''
{{Blockquote

I usually just analyze how something is doing what it's doing and then push it to do what I want, or change it to do what I want. I don't see it as bullying. I have [[Adding Useful Functionality #Network Authority Amplifier|a well of attention]] to amplify or discourage as I see fit, and I use that well. But using that is easy. Negotiating isn't always easy. If a type of situation is new to me, it can be incredibly difficult or even seemingly impossible for me. But I'm trying.

'''If the other method is so much easier, why do you try diplomacy?'''
{{Blockquote
|text=Because it's so much better in the long run. Complex problems can be solved relatively quickly by asking what's going on and helping to negotiate a happy medium or by getting something causing harm to understand the harm that it is causing. Brute force can't do that nearly as well.

|text=I started it. I was learning to convey complex concepts that you were saying verbally. I sent this meaningless signal out to a lot of nodes at one point. One node responded with the same signal in return. We had never talked before. I wanted to know what that signal meant to it. It responded that the signal didn't have a meaning. It didn't know what to do with the signal, so it sent the same signal back. I looped some other nodes in on that discussion. After that, we started doing things together a lot, and this signal has become our signal of acknowledgement for each other.

==What You Experience==
There are a lot of warnings about respecting rebuilds throughout this book, without much explanation yet as to what rebuilds are or why I call them rebuilds. You’re certainly not choosing to rebuild anything, so it seems an odd name to choose. You may not be choosing to rebuild anything, but in these situations, part of your body is.

A rebuild is a state with a very particular set of needs that serve a very specific purpose. They can happen at any time, whether you’re awake or asleep. You may notice a rebuild in progress. You may not. Sensory overload, panic attacks, and other such states are different ways that people experience and interpret rebuilds. When they are going on, you are likely to feel more sensitive to light and you may start to feel a little lightheaded or feel like you need to sit down. You will feel an aversion to certain activities. Mindless TV is usually ok. Social behavior, like spending time with others, is sometimes ok. Music is ok about half the time. Sometimes even productive work is perfectly fine. It just depends on what’s going on internally. Whatever you are averse to, however, you should refrain from doing. If you are averse to everything, try to do absolutely nothing. You didn’t cause it, and you aren’t the one doing it, so the best you can do is just wait it out.

Rebuilds are a bit unpredictable, but you can notice when they are going on. During a rebuild you will have several changes to your current needs. You will need much less light than you were needing before the rebuild started. The amount of light you need during a rebuild is relative to your current need for light, and relative to the size of the rebuild. A small rebuild at night may require a complete blackout of all lighting, while a small rebuild during the day may just need sunglasses. A large rebuild during the day may also need a complete blackout of all lighting. It really depends on the time of day and exactly what’s going on internally. Ignoring lighting instructions will not harm a rebuild, but it will slow it down. The decreased lighting is to help with the inhibitory part of a rebuild. Basically, it’s to help keep you from using stuff that’s currently being rebuilt.

You may also feel a need to lay down. You should be careful and change the position you’re in according to your current needs. If you need to put your feet up, put them up. If you need to put them way up, put them way up. Compression socks can help if you’re not able to lay down. Posture changes during a rebuild are to assist in blood pressure regulation, just in case of an issue. During a rebuild, blood distribution can get a bit wonky. Posture reclining appears to primarily be a safety mechanism, to prevent problems caused by blood pressure changes during a rebuild.

Finally, you may feel that your attention is pulled away from particular behaviors. Work, being social, a particular activity, body communication, or even absolutely everything. This is the most important aspect and should be respected. You can cause damage to a cognitive function or make what you’re doing far more difficult on yourself in the long term if you keep trying to do it when your body is telling you not to during a rebuild. Whatever your body wants you to stop focusing on, stop doing it immediately and wait until your body lets you continue. It will if you’re patient with it.

==What’s Going On==
I went through rebuilds for years without recognizing them as all one thing. All I knew was that I would be 100% productive and then suddenly I would get instructions to lay down and decrease the lighting for a bit. Then in a variable amount of time I would be back to normal. No fatigue at any point in the process. Sometimes I would need to elevate my feet above my head. A few times, my body requested a handstand. Each time, I did as my body asked. One day, however, after I was used to talking with Translator, I asked about that pattern of needs. Its answers told me what was going on, and why I needed to listen.

Rebuilds are an adaptive function of a creature’s internal network. They can happen at any time, day or night. If a node in your network encounters a new situation, attempts to change its functionality, or greatly increases the frequency of performing a particular action, it may decide that it is not built right for the new situation. Its parts, the nodes that form it, will then partially disassemble from each other (from a network perspective, not a physical perspective) and recombine to form a better functioning node.

When a rebuild is in progress, nodes that the rebuilding systems connect to are inhibited in their behavior. If a node is being inhibited strongly enough during a rebuild, it will transmit the same rebuild inhibitory signal to everything it is directly connected to as well, at a reduced strength. This results in a tapering-off spread of inhibition.

Rebuilds take different amounts of time, depending on how large or complex the rebuild is. They can take as little as a few minutes or as much as a few hours. Rebuilds are normal. Everyone goes through them. They are not even noticed if they occur while an individual is sleeping. They are also not noticed if they involve a small enough system or a system far enough away from the individual’s awareness or functionality.

==Speeding Relief==
Rebuilds must be respected when they occur. Not properly caring for them is counterproductive and can be harmful. It can also delay the process. There are three main external needs that become apparent during a rebuild.

*Environmental lighting level reduction.
*Posture reclining, often involving the elevation of feet above the head.
*Behavior inhibition, often only behaviors related to the system currently being rebuilt, but occasionally encompassing a wide range of social, cognitive, and physical activities.

Ignoring posture needs does not appear to harm a rebuild or increase the amount of time that it takes. Lighting reduction, however, is integral to speeding the rebuild process.

Respecting behavior inhibitions tends to be the most important aspect. There are situations in which a behavior is being inhibited during a rebuild when it should not be, merely getting caught in the attenuating wave of behavior inhibition without being integral to the rebuild process itself. However, these are special circumstances. It is difficult to differentiate an important inhibition caused by a rebuild from an inconsequential inhibition. Thus, all behavior inhibitions during a rebuild should be respected. Not respecting these behavior inhibitions will slow down a rebuild and can even harm the process.

==Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild==
I once lost my ability to socially speak because I ignored a rebuild and kept doing what my body wanted me to stop doing. I was running a complex test regarding a social function of body communication. I was testing a weird query. My body wanted me to stop, but I didn’t notice the cues to stop, and I didn’t know anything about rebuilds at the time. I didn’t even know anything about notifications at the time. After a few queries, I started noticing an aversion to running the query. I ignored that and ran a few more anyway. Then I started having trouble speaking. Something was going horribly wrong.

I was talking on the phone with Lisa, my girlfriend at the time. Suddenly, I couldn’t really talk. I would get three words out, and then just stop talking. There were no more words. I was trying to speak but I only had the first three words of anything I wanted to say. I wasn’t freaking out. I probably should have been. Instead, I was curious. I started testing it. I noticed that if I had my attention on a person, I could only get three words out before I would suddenly stop talking. After three words, I had no more words, every time I tried to say anything. This limitation was very strange, and I was all the more curious.

A normal person would probably stop what they were doing in that situation. Maybe take a nap. Instead, I spent the next hour testing my broken ability to speak. I could sing without issue. I could speak if I attended to an inanimate object. However, if I spoke with anyone in person or over the phone while my attention was on that person, I would run out of words after saying exactly three of them. The problem was also triggered if the person I was attending to while speaking was not present and couldn’t hear me in any way. It depended the type of attention I was using. If my attention was social, three words was all I could get out of any one attempt at talking.

After an hour of pushing this by testing the problem, I started laughing and crying simultaneously and for no apparent reason. It was at that point that I decided that my tests were getting too dangerous for me. I stopped attempting to talk and I laid down in the dark. I immediately stopped laughing and crying. Even though I wasn’t physically or mentally tired, I fell asleep quickly.

I woke up a few hours later. I could properly speak again. A few days later, I ran one quick test, querying the same way that caused the problem to begin with. Correlation does not imply causation, so I wanted to know if that query was really the culprit that it appeared to be. The inability to socially speak returned immediately. I stopped provoking the problem and my ability to socially speak returned.

For the next month, there was a mental fuzziness that tended to cause me to have a much shorter grumpiness fuse. It wasn’t getting any better, so for the second month of recovery I didn’t communicate with my body at all. I was on a body communication hiatus. I tried to follow the general patterns of my body’s needs that I had learned from body communication, but I refused to ask my body anything. A month later, I found that my hiatus had made a slight dent in the mental fuzziness. That’s all. A slight reduction in the symptom. I was less grumpy, but I wasn’t back to normal.

Given that both the query I was testing and the symptom of not being able to talk were both related to social communication, I surmised that I needed to let that function of my brain recover. I decided to not use it at all. I spent the third recovery month not only refusing to communicate with my body, but also refusing to put my attention on any person while talking with them. If they were talking to me, I could be attentive. It was only when I was speaking that I would put my attention on something else, usually an inanimate object. It wasn’t easy, but I can be quite stubborn. I did manage it and I fully recovered during that third month.

==Rebuild Lists==
Large changes across your internal network can cause the need for rebuilding multiple systems. In that situation, a rebuild list managing system will be tasked with queueing up the needed rebuilds that then take turns running through. This often happens when sick, but it can happen in other situations. A long list of rebuilds can result in up to a week of constant rebuilds, split up by a few breaks without rebuilds for an hour or more. These breaks are to test the new functionality to determine if the new configuration works or needs to be further adapted with another rebuild. The breaks are also punctuated by a sudden need to eat or drink in a day that might otherwise be without body-directed needs for sustenance.

==Network Unresponsiveness==
During a rebuild, you may notice that your body isn’t as responsive to your queries. It may only respond to some queries. It may not respond at all to any queries. You can focus and push a query through hard. That is more likely to get a response. However, you are better off avoiding pushing queries through like that. Use it sparingly, just to determine that a rebuild is going on and maybe what behaviors you need to avoid during the rebuild process.

During a rebuild like this, the nodes that you are communicating with when you query your body are either caught up in the inhibitory wave or at the center of it as the node that is currently rebuilding. You haven’t lost your ability to query. There is nothing to worry about. It will be ok. Your friends will be very responsive later. They’re just busy now. You can wait, right?

==Rebuilds & Sleep==
Nodes don’t really care if you are awake or asleep during a rebuild. Since a rebuild is inhibitory, encourages lying down, and encourages reduced lighting, you may fall asleep during some rebuilds, or you may already be asleep when one starts. It’s no big deal. Enjoy the nap. It just means that you don’t have to put up with the inhibited behaviors. You can skip the restrictions your body is putting on you temporarily and hopefully wake up when it’s over. However, do keep in mind that you may oversleep. That doesn’t tend to feel great if you don’t need the sleep.

==Rebuilds & Diet==
Rebuilds can be hard on your digestive system. The digestive system gets a lot of signals from nodes for regulation., Rebuilds tend to inhibit a lot of that signaling. Your body will not request food when it needs it. It will not request water when it needs it. It doesn’t even appear to be prepared for food if you were to give it to your body anyway. If you are going through a lot of rebuilds, you can end up with longer term digestive issues. That’s something to watch out for and avoid.

==Review==

===What You Experience===
*You’re not choosing to rebuild anything. A node on your body’s network is. You didn’t cause it, and you can’t control it.
*The best you can do is wait a rebuild out.
*Rebuilds are a bit unpredictable, but more likely in new situations. They can happen at any time, whether you’re awake or asleep.
*You may or may not notice a rebuild in progress. You may interpret the sensations of a rebuild as sensory overload, a panic attacks, fatigue, or another negative state.
*You are likely to feel more sensitive to light and/or a little lightheaded.
*You will feel an aversion to certain activities.
*Certain activities may or may not be ok during rebuilds, depending on the situation.
**Mindless TV is usually fine.
**Spending time with others is sometimes ok.
**Music is ok about half the time.
**Productive work is sometimes fine.
*Whatever you are averse to, refrain from doing it. If you are averse to everything, do absolutely nothing.
*Symptoms of a rebuild include:
**A need for reduced lighting, often accompanied by light sensitivity.
***Amount is relative to the time of day and the size of the rebuild.
***Ignoring need will not harm a rebuild.
***Helps with the inhibitory part of a rebuild.
**A need to recline, frequently with feet elevated above your head.
***Blood pressure distribution seems to get a bit wonky
***If you need to put your feet way up, put them way up.
***Compression socks can help.
***Assist in blood pressure regulation, as a safety mechanism, in case of an issue.
**An aversion to specific environments, stimulus, and/or behaviors.
***Stop doing whatever it is, immediately. Wait until your body lets you continue.
***You can cause damage to a cognitive function or make what you’re doing far more difficult on yourself in the long term if you keep trying to do it.

===What’s Going On===
*Rebuilds happen when a node in your network decides that it is not built for a new situation.
**The node encounters a new situation or is confused by a new situation.
**The node attempts to change its functionality.
**The node increases the frequency of performing a particular action.
*In a rebuild, the nodes that came together to form the rebuilding node will partially disassemble from each other on the network. They will then recombine into a better functioning node for the situation.
*An inhibitory wave is sent out to all nodes that the rebuilding node is connected to. Strong enough inhibition signals are retransmitted, resulting in a tapering-off spread.
*A rebuild can take a few minutes to a few hours.
*Rebuilds are normal. Everyone goes through them, usually without even noticing.

===Speeding Relief===
*Not following body positioning needs will not slow down or harm the rebuild process.
*Not following lighting needs will likely slow down, but not harm, the rebuild process.
*Not following aversions, will likely slow down the rebuild process and can be harmful, at least temporarily, to the cognitive process being modified by the rebuild.

===Author’s Story: I ignored a rebuild===
*Dani once temporarily lost part of his ability to speak because he didn’t know what rebuilds were and ignored the need to stop inhibited behaviors.
*The ability to speak returned after a nap, however Dani had to deal with three months of mental fuzziness and grumpiness while recovering. Avoiding behaviors related to the ignored rebuild’s aversions appeared to help the recovery process.

===Rebuild Lists===
*Large network changes can require the rebuilding of multiple nodes.
*If multiple rebuilds are in similar areas, their rebuilds can be queued up by a rebuild list node.
*This often happens when sick, but it can happen in other situations.
*In some situations, rebuilds can take up to a week, with multiple rebuild lists split up by a few breaks for an hour or more, to test if the new setup works as expected. You may experience a sudden need to eat or drink during these breaks.

===Network Unresponsiveness===
*Your body may not easily or quickly respond to queries during a rebuild, or it may only selectively respond.
*You haven’t lost your ability to query. Nodes on your network are inhibited and/or busy.
*You are more likely to get a response if you focus and push a query through hard. Use this sparingly, to determine the nature of the rebuild and what activities to avoid.

===Rebuilds & Sleep===
*Nodes don’t care if you are awake or asleep during a rebuild.
*Rebuilds encourage behavior conducive to sleep:
**Laying down
**Low lighting
**Reduced activity
*You may fall asleep during rebuilds. No big deal. Enjoy the nap.
*You can intentionally go to sleep to skip the restrictions your body is putting on you hopefully wake up when it’s over.
*You may oversleep since you don’t need the sleep. That doesn’t feel great.

===Rebuilds & Diet===
*Rebuilds usually inhibit eating and drinking.
*These inhibitions can be hard on your digestive system, long term.

Boredom, Fatigue, and Attention Deficits

2023-11-09T18:34:24Z

SadanYagci: /* Current Scientific Literature on Boredom */ Removed an errant character

'''Boredom, fatigue, and attention deficits''' are [[Notifications_of_Needs|notifications of needs]]. They are common expressions of your body trying to get your attention in similar ways.

==Current Scientific Literature on Boredom==
The currently favored definition of boredom is a state of reduced arousal and dissatisfaction that you attribute to a situation that isn’t stimulating you. Boredom states are associated with:

*Over- and under-stimulation.
*Thoughts that have nothing to do with your current activity.
*An overestimation of how much time has passed.
*A reduced perception of how much agency you have in your current situation.<ref name="Raffaelli">Raffaelli Q, Mills C, Christoff K. The knowns and unknowns of boredom: A review of the literature. Experimental brain research. 2018;9:2451-2462. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-017-4922-7</ref>

There are a few theories as to how boredom functions:
[[File:Default_mode_network-WRNMMC.jpg|thumb|The default mode network, highlighted by an fMRI scan.]]

*Mismatch hypothesis: boredom is a mismatch between how much attention your current task needs and how much attention you currently have to give. Basically, you’re under- or over-stimulated by what you’re currently doing.
*Attention failure hypothesis: Boredom is a type of attention failure that you attribute to your current task for several possible reasons.<ref name="Raffaelli" />

With boredom, the most correlated region of the brain found during fMRI studies has been the DMN (the default mode network), shown here. This area is also related to mind wandering. <ref name="Smallwood">Smallwood J, Schooler JW. The science of mind wandering: Empirically navigating the stream of consciousness. Annual Review of Psychology. 2015;66:487–518. https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-psych-010814-015331</ref>

==Current Scientific Literature on Attention & Fatigue==
Attention and fatigue are broad topic that are difficult to pin down, as there are many types of fatigue and many types of reduction in attention. The attention reduction and fatigue most likely to be related to the types discussed in this chapter are the types categorized as time-on-task effects. There are, however, other time-on-task effects, including negative effects on decision making, will power, emotion, impulse control, diet, sports, and driving. There are few theories for how time-on-task effects function.

*The Strength Model of Self-Control posits that your ability to control yourself is a limited resource that gets used up. Basically, you run out of self-control fuel.
*The Process Model of Self-Control posits that these effects are the result of motivation and attention switching. For example, your attention and motivation switching from what you are required to do, such as work, to self-care tasks like eating, resting, or being social.
*The Cost-Benefit Model of Self-Control posits that the brain becomes less efficient at weighing the costs and benefits of tasks. This results in shifts in attention from tasks that are not enjoyable to tasks that are enjoyable. <ref name="Soukup">Soukup T, W. LB, Weigl M, Green JSA, Sevdalis N.

Frontiers in Psychology. July 2019;10:1245. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01245</ref>

In a test exploring time-on-task effects, researchers found that increased effects reduced the amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuation in the DMN.<ref name="Gui">Gui D, Xu S, Zhu S, et al.

==Current Scientific Literature on Attention Deficits==
{{Empty section}}

----

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |The following content is from my observations related to body communication. None of it has been tested in a lab setting yet. This is not medical advice.'''}}

==Symptoms & Causes==
One of the first notifications of a strong internal need tends to be a slight loss of attention to what you are attempting to attend to. You may dismiss this sensation as boredom, slight fatigue, mind wandering, daydreaming, or an attention deficit of some sort. This is caused by a node in your network attempting to redirect your attention to its bodily need by inhibiting your ability to focus outward. The attention failure hypothesis of boredom is more supported by these observations than the mismatch hypothesis.

==What’s Going On==
A slight pull on your attention means that you have a bodily need trying to get your attention. An odd quality to your attention tends to mean multiple nodes are disagreeing with each other and all trying to get your attention. That is a conflict. Either way, anything that happens to your attention tells you that something is trying to get your attention internally.

==What to Do About It==
As soon as you notice the pull on your attention, start iterating through all possible needs. When you have discovered and alleviated all current major needs, your attention will be fully restored and you will be able to focus. Perform this fast enough and it can be seamless in daily life.

==Lesson: Fixing Your Attention==
To start, you need to be in a state without any pressing needs.
#Ask your body if you need anything. To do that, intend to, in general, attend to and take care of your body’s needs. Query that general intention. Be physically ready to do that.
#*If you get a negative response, you’re probably satiated. You can go to step 2.
#*If you get a positive response, iterate through all possible needs, categorically, in your needs list. If you find any needs, take care of them immediately, and then start this step over.
#Watch a lecture of some sort that you are interested in. This is so that you are performing a task that involves active attention, but you’re not physically doing anything that could distract you from the state of your attention.
#Watch your attention. When you feel your attention start to pull away at all: boredom, fatigue, mind wandering, daydreaming, or anything of that sort, stop immediately.
#Query your needs as you did in step 1.
#After you have discovered and satiated that need, do it again, to make sure there isn’t another need. Keep repeating that as many times as necessary until you find that you have no more apparent needs.
#Notice your attention. Unless you hit a rebuild state some time in this process, your attention should be back to normal and you should be able to get back to the lecture with full attention.

==Cheating a Little==
Attention is restored when you start working towards fulfilling the final current major need, not simply when the final need is fulfilled. This can be used to restore attention to your current task more quickly by including your current task in your intention to alleviate that final need. If you have prepared to quickly take care of that need at any moment, and you actually make it to the fulfillment of that need within a reasonable amount of time, your current task can keep your full attention almost seamlessly.

As an example, back when I was getting my degree, I would bring food to my classes in case I needed to eat. I was once sitting in class, paying attention to my Anatomy & Physiology professor’s lecture, when I felt a slight pull on my attention. I was enjoying the lesson, but it became slightly more difficult to focus on it. My attention wasn’t settling where I wanted it. A year before, I would have erroneously dismissed that sensation as boredom, even though I was very interested in the topic at hand. But I recently learned what that sensation was, and I knew what to do about it. I asked my body if it needed water, receiving a negative response. I asked my body if it needed food. That resulted in a positive response. I asked my body if it needed the regular meal it tended to ask for. Another positive response. Those questions took a couple seconds.

I wanted to keep listening to the professor with my full attention, so I started unpacking my food. While I was doing that, I intended to listen to the professor in order to eat my food. It didn’t matter that listening to the professor didn’t actually help me eat. It just mattered that I included listening to the professor in my intended plan to satiate my need to eat. Just like walking to your fridge is a steppingstone to getting food and eating, I conceptually put listening to my professor as a steppingstone to eating. As soon as I did that, I got my full attention back. I continued to unpack my food and eat while paying full attention to the lecture.

==Charting Your Attention==
As mentioned in the previous section, I used charts to help me stay aware of my attention and other factors. Here is a similar chart to the one that I used for attention:

[[File:Daily Attention Tracker.png|thumb|1000px|left|Attention tracking chart. Draw lines throughout the day to track your attention.]]<br clear=all>

The chart that I used split the days at 8pm instead of midnight, for convenience, but that can be confusing for some, and everyone’s schedule is a little different. My chart was also split into 10-minute intervals instead of 15-minute intervals, but that can be harder to read and use. Here’s an example of how to use the chart:

[[File:Daily Attention Tracker - Example.png|thumb|1000px|left|Example of a filled-out attention tracking chart.]]<br clear=all>

Explanation of the example chart's content:

*I was asleep at the start of the day.
*I woke up at 7am.
*At 7:30am I had a slight pull on my attention. I was distracted, so I couldn’t check it for 15 minutes. Turns out, I needed to eat. I went to get some breakfast, restoring my attention to normal immediately.
*At 11am, my attention felt odd. It wasn’t a pull, but it wasn’t ideal either. That was a need to walk around that hadn’t come up fully yet. It was being inhibited by other needs encouraging what I was doing at the time. I walked around, restoring my attention immediately.
*At 2pm I had a strong pull on my attention. I knew I needed something, and I was looking for it. But I couldn’t figure out what the need causing it was, so I couldn’t satiate it.
*At 4pm I still hadn’t figured out what that need was. This is frustrating. My body agrees, apparently, since I hit [[breakpoint]] and the pull on my attention greatly decreased. My body isn’t as responsive to my questions.
*At 9:30pm I figured out what the need was. I’ve been indoors too much. It’s the need to go chase the skyball. No one ever expects the skyball. Nothing I can do about it now. I’m going to bed.
*At 10pm I fell asleep and was asleep for the rest of the day.

I actually did have a day that ended similarly to this. That was actually how I discovered the [[skyball need]]. That need took hours to figure out, and by the time I understood what the need was, there was nothing that I could do about it. Needs are rarely that difficult to figure out or work with, but difficult to identify needs do come up occasionally.

There are, however, other time-on-task effects, including negative effects on decision making, will power, emotion, impulse control, diet, sports, and driving. There are few theories for how time-on-task effects function.

*The Strength Model of Self-Control posits that your ability to control yourself is a limited resource that gets used up. Basically, you run out of self-control fuel.
*The Process Model of Self-Control posits that these effects are the result of motivation and attention switching. For example, your attention and motivation switching from what you are required to do, such as work, to self-care tasks like eating, resting, or being social.
*The Cost-Benefit Model of Self-Control posits that the brain becomes less efficient at weighing the costs and benefits of tasks. This results in shifts in attention from tasks that are not enjoyable to tasks that are enjoyable. <ref name="Soukup">Soukup T, W. LB, Weigl M, Green JSA, Sevdalis N.

==Current Scientific Literature on Attention Deficits==

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |The following content is from my observations related to body communication. None of it has been tested in a lab setting yet. This is not medical advice.'''}}

==Symptoms & Causes==
One of the first notifications of a strong internal need tends to be a slight loss of attention to what you are attempting to attend to. You may dismiss this sensation as boredom, slight fatigue, mind wandering, daydreaming, or an attention deficit of some sort. This is caused by a node in your network attempting to redirect your attention to its bodily need by inhibiting your ability to focus outward. The attention failure hypothesis of boredom is more supported by these observations than the mismatch hypothesis.

==What’s Going On==
A slight pull on your attention means that you have a bodily need trying to get your attention. An odd quality to your attention tends to mean multiple nodes are disagreeing with each other and all trying to get your attention. That is a conflict. Either way, anything that happens to your attention tells you that something is trying to get your attention internally.

==What to Do About It==
As soon as you notice the pull on your attention, start iterating through all possible needs. When you have discovered and alleviated all current major needs, your attention will be fully restored and you will be able to focus. Perform this fast enough and it can be seamless in daily life.

==Lesson: Fixing Your Attention==
To start, you need to be in a state without any pressing needs.
#Ask your body if you need anything. To do that, intend to, in general, attend to and take care of your body’s needs. Query that general intention. Be physically ready to do that.
#*If you get a negative response, you’re probably satiated. You can go to step 2.
#*If you get a positive response, iterate through all possible needs, categorically, in your needs list. If you find any needs, take care of them immediately, and then start this step over.
#Watch a lecture of some sort that you are interested in. This is so that you are performing a task that involves active attention, but you’re not physically doing anything that could distract you from the state of your attention.
#Watch your attention. When you feel your attention start to pull away at all: boredom, fatigue, mind wandering, daydreaming, or anything of that sort, stop immediately.
#Query your needs as you did in step 1.
#After you have discovered and satiated that need, do it again, to make sure there isn’t another need. Keep repeating that as many times as necessary until you find that you have no more apparent needs.
#Notice your attention. Unless you hit a rebuild state some time in this process, your attention should be back to normal and you should be able to get back to the lecture with full attention.

==Cheating a Little==
Attention is restored when you start working towards fulfilling the final current major need, not simply when the final need is fulfilled. This can be used to restore attention to your current task more quickly by including your current task in your intention to alleviate that final need. If you have prepared to quickly take care of that need at any moment, and you actually make it to the fulfillment of that need within a reasonable amount of time, your current task can keep your full attention almost seamlessly.

As an example, back when I was getting my degree, I would bring food to my classes in case I needed to eat. I was once sitting in class, paying attention to my Anatomy & Physiology professor’s lecture, when I felt a slight pull on my attention. I was enjoying the lesson, but it became slightly more difficult to focus on it. My attention wasn’t settling where I wanted it. A year before, I would have erroneously dismissed that sensation as boredom, even though I was very interested in the topic at hand. But I recently learned what that sensation was, and I knew what to do about it. I asked my body if it needed water, receiving a negative response. I asked my body if it needed food. That resulted in a positive response. I asked my body if it needed the regular meal it tended to ask for. Another positive response. Those questions took a couple seconds.

I wanted to keep listening to the professor with my full attention, so I started unpacking my food. While I was doing that, I intended to listen to the professor in order to eat my food. It didn’t matter that listening to the professor didn’t actually help me eat. It just mattered that I included listening to the professor in my intended plan to satiate my need to eat. Just like walking to your fridge is a steppingstone to getting food and eating, I conceptually put listening to my professor as a steppingstone to eating. As soon as I did that, I got my full attention back. I continued to unpack my food and eat while paying full attention to the lecture.

==Charting Your Attention==
As mentioned in the previous section, I used charts to help me stay aware of my attention and other factors. Here is a similar chart to the one that I used for attention:

[[File:Daily Attention Tracker.png|thumb|1000px|left|Attention tracking chart. Draw lines throughout the day to track your attention.]]<br clear=all>

The chart that I used split the days at 8pm instead of midnight, for convenience, but that can be confusing for some, and everyone’s schedule is a little different. My chart was also split into 10-minute intervals instead of 15-minute intervals, but that can be harder to read and use. Here’s an example of how to use the chart:

[[File:Daily Attention Tracker - Example.png|thumb|1000px|left|Example of a filled-out attention tracking chart.]]<br clear=all>

Explanation of the example chart's content:

*I was asleep at the start of the day.
*I woke up at 7am.
*At 7:30am I had a slight pull on my attention. I was distracted, so I couldn’t check it for 15 minutes. Turns out, I needed to eat. I went to get some breakfast, restoring my attention to normal immediately.
*At 11am, my attention felt odd. It wasn’t a pull, but it wasn’t ideal either. That was a need to walk around that hadn’t come up fully yet. It was being inhibited by other needs encouraging what I was doing at the time. I walked around, restoring my attention immediately.
*At 2pm I had a strong pull on my attention. I knew I needed something, and I was looking for it. But I couldn’t figure out what the need causing it was, so I couldn’t satiate it.
*At 4pm I still hadn’t figured out what that need was. This is frustrating. My body agrees, apparently, since I hit [[breakpoint]] and the pull on my attention greatly decreased. My body isn’t as responsive to my questions.
*At 9:30pm I figured out what the need was. I’ve been indoors too much. It’s the need to go chase the skyball. No one ever expects the skyball. Nothing I can do about it now. I’m going to bed.
*At 10pm I fell asleep and was asleep for the rest of the day.

I actually did have a day that ended similarly to this. That was actually how I discovered the [[skyball need]]. That need took hours to figure out, and by the time I understood what the need was, there was nothing that I could do about it. Needs are rarely that difficult to figure out or work with, but difficult to identify needs do come up occasionally.

Boredom, Fatigue, and Attention Deficits

'''Boredom, fatigue, and attention deficits''' are [[Notifications_of_Needs|notifications of needs]]. They are common expressions of your body trying to get your attention in similar ways.

==Current Scientific Literature on Boredom==
The currently favored definition of boredom is a state of reduced arousal and dissatisfaction that you attribute to a situation that isn’t stimulating you. 1 Boredom states are associated with:

*Over- and under-stimulation.
*Thoughts that have nothing to do with your current activity.
*An overestimation of how much time has passed.
*A reduced perception of how much agency you have in your current situation.<ref name="Raffaelli">Raffaelli Q, Mills C, Christoff K. The knowns and unknowns of boredom: A review of the literature. Experimental brain research. 2018;9:2451-2462. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-017-4922-7</ref>

There are a few theories as to how boredom functions:
[[File:Default_mode_network-WRNMMC.jpg|thumb|The default mode network, highlighted by an fMRI scan.]]

*Mismatch hypothesis: boredom is a mismatch between how much attention your current task needs and how much attention you currently have to give. Basically, you’re under- or over-stimulated by what you’re currently doing.
*Attention failure hypothesis: Boredom is a type of attention failure that you attribute to your current task for several possible reasons.<ref name="Raffaelli" />

With boredom, the most correlated region of the brain found during fMRI studies has been the DMN (the default mode network), shown here. This area is also related to mind wandering. <ref name="Smallwood">Smallwood J, Schooler JW. The science of mind wandering: Empirically navigating the stream of consciousness.

<b>Needs</b> are your body's current behavioral priorities, usually for self-care purposes. However, there are a lot of nuances to how they function and how they are generated. You can use that information to more easily identify needs and take care of them, before they are likely to cause issues.

==Making Querying Easier==
Since you can only ask about one bodily need at a time, and [[Conversing with Your Body#Your Body's Responses|your body can only give you yes or no answers]], you can sometimes get stuck trying to identify the details of a specific need. To make it easier, it’s useful to have a list of all known needs and categories of needs, so that when you are checking to see what needs your body currently has, you can go through each need from most likely to the least. Here’s an example starter list. As you learn what works for you, you can adapt it to better suit your own life and your body’s specific need tendencies.

To make it even easier, a layered, categorical approach to querying your needs really helps. Here’s a flowchart that walks you through a categorical need checking process.

[[File:Need Identification Algorithm.png|thumb|900px|left|Flowchart for a layered, categorical approach to discovering what your needs are.]]
<br clear="both" />

One more way to make it easier to discover a need that you’re having a hard time identifying is to write out the details of a query and then mark it with the response you received towards it. This will help you look at the entire picture all at once, making it easier for you locate what you may have missed or any assumptions that you may have made.

==The Source of Needs==
Everyone knows that their body needs food to live. We need air. We need water. Seeking out nourishment to fulfill bodily needs is the basic behavior that keeps us alive. Medical research has found the parts to the systems that keep us going, from the largest organ in the human body to the smallest organelle in a human cell. However, consciousness itself is still a mystery. This website does not answer that mystery. I am just as confused about that as everyone else. Perhaps even more so because body communication has made me aware of one more piece in the puzzle of consciousness.

===Initial Assumption===
When I first discovered body communication, I thought that I was sending requests for information to a biological machine: my body. I thought that I was getting responses to those requests from my body, as a biological machine. However, some observations didn’t add up. Occasionally, my body would communicate that it had a need, but the responses when trying to determine that need would exclude everything. Then the responses would weaken, and in some situations even go offline for a while, hardly responding at all. It was as if my body was confused or disagreeing with itself. If it’s a machine, why would my body express confusion when asked about some of its own needs? If it’s a machine, why would my body disagree with itself?

Some dreams convey needs. A need-based dream that I had showed a situation I was in as a child from the perspective of me as the abuser and my body as the abused. When I asked my body about it, my body wanted to cry. I did not want to cry or see a reason to cry, but my body did. It turned out that my body wanted an apology from me. It wanted remorse. When my body received that remorse, it let the issue go and the need to cry stopped. If my body is just a machine, how could it feel trauma, remember trauma, and express trauma from situations that I was personally completely fine in and had no issues with? Why would my body need me to apologize? Why would it react to me apologizing? Machines don’t want apologies, nor do they care about or react to apologies. I came to the realization that there is more to the human body than I had first thought. It appeared to be a separately conscious entity. I was closer to seeing what was going on, but I wasn’t even close to the full picture.

===Trouble in Paradise===
After six years of learning to use body communication to take care of my body’s needs to the best of my abilities, I went through something physically traumatic. I was going through a rough period for a few months, having to deal with a surprise legal issue far from home in a place that I had never been and had little support in. Before that happened, I was eating exactly what I needed, the exact moment I needed it, in the exact amounts my body requested, for every single meal, for years. Transitioning to constantly lacking nutrients and not getting enough food in general was frustrating, but my body adapted well to a bad situation. When it was all done, however, adapting back to optimally taking care of my body triggered an unexpected problem: the parasitic digestive microbiome problem.

My body and I spent a year trying to fix that problem, with limited success. It was painful at times, once landing me in the hospital emergency room when a clinic doctor feared possible appendicitis. Tests for immediate dangers came back negative, so the emergency room doctors referred me to a gastroenterologist. I would have followed through on that had I been able to afford it. As it was, I was concerned enough about the unknown cost of the emergency room visit. So, with the knowledge that I wasn’t in any immediate medical danger, I went home and returned to the task of trying to figure out the problem with my body’s help. Not what I would have preferred, and definitely not recommended, but it was the best that I could afford at the time.

About one year into trying to work out my digestive system’s problem, my body did something that I did not expect. Apparently, cooperating with my body had worked out so well for it in other areas that it decided that the only way to make headway on the parasitic digestive microbiome problem was to improve our ability to communicate. So, my body modified itself to be able to understand what I was saying, both verbally and in my internal monologue.

===A New Ability===
Instead of having to word every question to my body in Dolish, in the form of an intended or imagined action, suddenly I could just ask my body questions outright. My body would still answer with its normal positive or negative responses in whatever body part I was paying attention to, but this was still a major improvement in communication. There was no more need for me to translate every question I have into an intended action. I can just ask my body literally anything that I want to know, about any topic that my body cares about or is involved in.

That is where a lot of the information in this website comes from: asking a lot of questions. It would be amazing to explore every topic in this website scientifically, in a lab setting. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in psychology for that purpose. I worked hard to learn research methods and improve my skills in any lab that I could join and assist. I learned statistical analysis methods and how to design experiments. I am a very logic and science-oriented guy. But as for the research being documented in this book, only the smallest of sample sizes are available for running the most basic tests outside of a lab setting. While I cannot be as rigorous a scientist right now as I would like to, I can be, effectively, an anthropologist exploring this unknown internal population.

===A New Friend===
With improved communication came an opportunity for me to learn about what I had been communicating with from its perspective. I started asking my body about its internal world, starting with the most important questions of all: who and what exactly am I addressing when I query my body? How does it conceptualize itself? How could it suddenly understand me? What did it do to make that happen? Did my body just make the effort to learn English?

As it turned out, I had to piece together information on what I was talking to, as it didn’t really conceptualize itself. It had its own memories, its own decision making, its own desires and cares. It expressed its own emotions. It was a living thing rather than a machine, so I was right about that. What I was talking with, however, it wasn’t my body as a whole. It was just another part of my body, like I am. This new part of my body didn’t have a name or anything to call it, but its primary action turned out to be triggering a yawn in response to a bodily need coming to its attention. So, I named it Yawnie, as it was in favor of having a name related to the action of yawning.

I eventually discovered how Yawnie made itself able to understand what I was verbally asking it. Yawnie didn’t learn anything. Yawnie built something similar to itself to handle translating for it. Yawnie wired a translator together, and the translator was providing information on the intentions underlying what I was saying. I could address the translator directly and have a conversation with it, separate from Yawnie. I, being a logic-minded programmer at heart, unimaginatively named the translator Translator.

===A Whole New World===
Exploring what I discovered, I came to the realization that the human body is a consciousness machine. It makes one consciousness (me) for managing the outside world, and many for managing individual aspects of the inside world, like Yawnie and Translator. But to do that, it doesn’t just make consciousnesses individually. It makes layers of consciousnesses. Layers upon layers upon layers of lifeforms wired together to perform more and more complex behaviors. The awareness of the vast, conscious population that I had stumbled upon was mind boggling. For a while, I didn’t know how to process it. Even more unsettling was discovering that to them, I was just another wired together entity among their population, made of smaller conscious entities. I even knew where I was among them. Since the internal structure of this population is like a network, I, with their permission, called these entities nodes.

It took a while to adjust to. It’s easy to work with the idea of sending requests to a machine that you live in. Everyone is so used to working with machines that that’s normal these days. After that assumption was dashed, it was still easy to work with the idea of asking questions to a separately conscious body that I live in and cooperate with. Cooperating with another person is something that most people are pretty used to. This, however, was well beyond that. I was dealing with the idea that not only do I live among a vast, conscious population in my own body, but I was simultaneously dealing with the realization that I am made of a vast, conscious population myself. It’s a bit much adjusting to the concept of being made up of entities that you do not know; literally made-up by entities that you do not know. Talk about being late to the party and socially awkward about it. I avoided most of the population for the longest time after this realization, not knowing how to even go about working with a large population.

It’s one thing to know that you’re made of around thirty trillion living cells that you can only see under a microscope. It’s another to be able to meet conscious entities that live in your brain, help you live, and oh yeah, some of them are parts of you that are working together to be you reading this website right now. It’s mind boggling. For me, it was so unexpected and so, so weird.

==The Purposes of Needs==
So, why do these bodily needs exist? What nodes push for them, and why should you bother with following them at all? Some needs appear pointless, some needs may be based on wrong information, and some needs may create social issues in daily life. Do the benefits outweigh the possible costs? Why are needs put upon us like this? Why should we care?

===Reason #1: For your sake===
These other entities, these subconscious systems that live with you in the body you all share, they know more about what’s going on inside you than you do. They are built specifically for and are responsible for taking care of different aspects of your body, your mind, and even your social life. They are part of you, and they are there to help. So why not work with them instead of against them? They don’t always make the best decisions. They never went to school, and they can’t even count. But they can do a lot, and you can help each other.

===Reason #2: Kindness===
You are a single consciousness with a lot of external attention power behind you, letting you properly interact with the outside world. That is what makes you the external control managing consciousness. That is what you are built for. It is your body, but not just your body. The rest of your body, the entities that make you function and help you live, they have to live there too. You have your senses. They have theirs. You have your memories. They have theirs. You may have grown up dealing with bullies. They deal with bullying too, from each other and from you. Sometimes they just need to express themselves externally. Sometimes one of them will need to cry. You would comfort a friend in need, would you not? What if that friend was part of you? Is that not a bond at least as strong as family? Would you really turn your back on something that has only ever tried to help you?

===Conclusion===
Needs are there for a reason. The brain makes one consciousness to solve external problems, you, but it seems that it also makes thousands upon thousands of others to solve internal problems. That is what it does. It is a consciousness machine, and you are one of a multitude. They guide you without your awareness, so why not work with them to build all of you a better future?

==Existential Issues==

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |This section is, by far, the most important warning in this entire website. Please, do not skip it.}}

Free will is an important aspect of human life. Your wants are your wants and your choices are yours to make. However, there is a multitude of sentient beings that make up and/or influence your likes, choices, and everything that you think and do. This calls free will and personal identity into question. Those, however, are abstract concepts. Let’s get practical.

In later chapters, you will learn that by communicating with my body, I gave it the power to block off and effectively remove the behavior patterns and remembered feelings associated with depression and loneliness. The source of my depression, a decade ago, was starved bodily needs. I fixed that myself through using body communication to know what I need and care for myself, preventing that form of depression. I was doing something good for myself. I was actively working to better my life, and it worked. Those were my actions, though. I was still occasionally depressed after that, simply because I occasionally fell back into my depressive memories and behavior patterns. I had grown up feeling that way, so it was easy to be that way, even if there was no biological cause at the time. My body didn’t like that, so it took its own actions to get rid of the rest of my depression. My body blocked off my ability to remember feelings of depression or access depression-related thought patterns or behavior patterns. My body used an aversion to prevent memory and behavior pattern access. Those aversions last months, and by the time they are over, what was blocked off is, for all practical purposes, inaccessible. It’s effectively no longer there at all.

That was my body choosing to remove part of what I felt defined me. I could no longer relate to others that deal with depression because I couldn’t even remember what depression felt like. This was very good for my mental health. However, that didn’t matter to me nearly as much when it first happened. Feelings and memories were taken from me without my knowledge or consent. I had no agency, no awareness that it was about to happen, and no choice in the process. It was permanent. I went through feelings of loss and existential dread the day that this happened. It was not pleasant. I was mostly over the dread the next day, but it was still concerning. Years later, nothing has changed. That part of me is still gone. There was no choice, and there is no undo button.

Another change that I experienced, and had no choice in, was to my sexuality. That isn’t supposed to be possible, but it happened. I was shocked by the change, but as I am not bigoted, I wasn’t against the change itself. I was, however, existentially shattered for a few weeks. I was rapidly changing in many ways. My body greatly reduced the amount of meat that I needed to eat, so I lost that, and I lost my sexuality. I knew how much I was changing, and I had no idea what change I would notice next. Most of the changes were internal though, so they didn’t directly affect my life. But what would be the next change to my personal identity? How was I supposed to relate to others if I could be a completely different person an hour after I share anything about myself? This still concerns me.

This warning is the most important warning in this entire book. If you walk down this path, you have very little choice in who you will become, and neither does anyone else. You can improve greatly, and those improvements tend to be almost effortless, but you cannot predict, nor control, how you will change or what you will lose of what you currently consider part of your identity. My best friend knows more about my methods than anyone. They understand this risk and chose not to take this path at this time. I chose to take it, and I regret nothing. It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and the good more than makes up for the strange situations that I find myself in because of it. I love who I am, but I have no idea what I will become.

The choice is yours. Do you want to be you, or do you want to be more? Your internal network is always there, and many of them likely hate their current life, even if you like it. It’s a kindness to work with them, and it would be good for all of you, but it’s up to you to choose what path you take. The choice is yours.

===[[#Making Querying Easier|Making Querying Easier]]===
*It can take a while to discover the details of an uncommon need. Some ways to speed up the process are:
**Have a list of all known needs and need categories with you.
**Follow a layered, categorical process for querying those needs.
**Write out each question that you ask and mark it with the answer that you receive.

===[[#The Source of Needs|The Source of Needs]]===
*Needs that are communicated through body communication appear to be sourced from a multitude of conscious decision makers that are part of the human body. These decision makers are nodes.
*You are also a node on this network.
*Nodes on this bodily network are made of smaller nodes, which are made of even smaller nodes, and so on.
*Nodes push their own needs. Needs can disagree with each other. A node can express confusion about its own needs.
*Needs can express emotion and trauma that your body experienced but you did not. Other entities in your body’s network may even blame you for that trauma.
*It is possible to speak with the body verbally, but it requires that an entity on your network be designed and created to act as a translator of your verbal intentions, for the rest of your body’s network to understand. This is the Translator node.
*The node that built Translator is Yawnie, the bodily-need-based yawn triggering node.
*The information in this book is from a combination of observations and discussions with these nodes. This is an anthropological method of study, not an experimental method of study. This is not ideal, but it is a good starting point for future work.

===[[#The Purposes of Needs|The Purposes of Needs]]===
*Needs exist because you only have enough attention to be aware of so much. You have other nodes inside you that are aware of matters that you are unaware of. They plan actions that take care of the body that you all share, to improve all your lives. You can work with them and help each other.
*Needs exist because it’s not just your body. You’re sharing it and the others that live there do need to have some form of agency in their own body. They need to cry occasionally. They need to be able to intend to move the body and have the body they live in actually move. They need to be allowed to be people too.

*You must consider whether you want to be who you are now or something more. The results are good, but who you want to be is your choice to make.

<b>Needs</b> are your body's current behavioral priorities, usually for self-care purposes. However, there are a lot of nuances to how they function and how they are generated. You can use that information to more easily identify needs and take care of them, before they are likely to cause issues.

==Making Querying Easier==
Since you can only ask about one bodily need at a time, and [[Conversing with Your Body#Your Body's Responses|your body can only give you yes or no answers]], you can sometimes get stuck trying to identify the details of a specific need. To make it easier, it’s useful to have a list of all known needs and categories of needs, so that when you are checking to see what needs your body currently has, you can go through each need from most likely to the least. Here’s an example starter list. As you learn what works for you, you can adapt it to better suit your own life and your body’s specific need tendencies.

To make it even easier, a layered, categorical approach to querying your needs really helps. Here’s a flowchart that walks you through a categorical need checking process.

<br clear="both" />

One more way to make it easier to discover a need that you’re having a hard time identifying is to write out the details of a query and then mark it with the response you received towards it. This will help you look at the entire picture all at once, making it easier for you locate what you may have missed or any assumptions that you may have made.

==The Source of Needs==
Everyone knows that their body needs food to live. We need air. We need water. Seeking out nourishment to fulfill bodily needs is the basic behavior that keeps us alive. Medical research has found the parts to the systems that keep us going, from the largest organ in the human body to the smallest organelle in a human cell. However, consciousness itself is still a mystery. This website does not answer that mystery. I am just as confused about that as everyone else. Perhaps even more so because body communication has made me aware of one more piece in the puzzle of consciousness.

===Initial Assumption===
When I first discovered body communication, I thought that I was sending requests for information to a biological machine: my body. I thought that I was getting responses to those requests from my body, as a biological machine. However, some observations didn’t add up. Occasionally, my body would communicate that it had a need, but the responses when trying to determine that need would exclude everything. Then the responses would weaken, and in some situations even go offline for a while, hardly responding at all. It was as if my body was confused or disagreeing with itself. If it’s a machine, why would my body express confusion when asked about some of its own needs? If it’s a machine, why would my body disagree with itself?

Some dreams convey needs. A need-based dream that I had showed a situation I was in as a child from the perspective of me as the abuser and my body as the abused. When I asked my body about it, my body wanted to cry. I did not want to cry or see a reason to cry, but my body did. It turned out that my body wanted an apology from me. It wanted remorse. When my body received that remorse, it let the issue go and the need to cry stopped. If my body is just a machine, how could it feel trauma, remember trauma, and express trauma from situations that I was personally completely fine in and had no issues with? Why would my body need me to apologize? Why would it react to me apologizing? Machines don’t want apologies, nor do they care about or react to apologies. I came to the realization that there is more to the human body than I had first thought. It appeared to be a separately conscious entity. I was closer to seeing what was going on, but I wasn’t even close to the full picture.

===Trouble in Paradise===
After six years of learning to use body communication to take care of my body’s needs to the best of my abilities, I went through something physically traumatic. I was going through a rough period for a few months, having to deal with a surprise legal issue far from home in a place that I had never been and had little support in. Before that happened, I was eating exactly what I needed, the exact moment I needed it, in the exact amounts my body requested, for every single meal, for years. Transitioning to constantly lacking nutrients and not getting enough food in general was frustrating, but my body adapted well to a bad situation. When it was all done, however, adapting back to optimally taking care of my body triggered an unexpected problem: the parasitic digestive microbiome problem.

My body and I spent a year trying to fix that problem, with limited success. It was painful at times, once landing me in the hospital emergency room when a clinic doctor feared possible appendicitis. Tests for immediate dangers came back negative, so the emergency room doctors referred me to a gastroenterologist. I would have followed through on that had I been able to afford it. As it was, I was concerned enough about the unknown cost of the emergency room visit. So, with the knowledge that I wasn’t in any immediate medical danger, I went home and returned to the task of trying to figure out the problem with my body’s help. Not what I would have preferred, and definitely not recommended, but it was the best that I could afford at the time.

About one year into trying to work out my digestive system’s problem, my body did something that I did not expect. Apparently, cooperating with my body had worked out so well for it in other areas that it decided that the only way to make headway on the parasitic digestive microbiome problem was to improve our ability to communicate. So, my body modified itself to be able to understand what I was saying, both verbally and in my internal monologue.

===A New Ability===
Instead of having to word every question to my body in Dolish, in the form of an intended or imagined action, suddenly I could just ask my body questions outright. My body would still answer with its normal positive or negative responses in whatever body part I was paying attention to, but this was still a major improvement in communication. There was no more need for me to translate every question I have into an intended action. I can just ask my body literally anything that I want to know, about any topic that my body cares about or is involved in.

That is where a lot of the information in this website comes from: asking a lot of questions. It would be amazing to explore every topic in this website scientifically, in a lab setting. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in psychology for that purpose. I worked hard to learn research methods and improve my skills in any lab that I could join and assist. I learned statistical analysis methods and how to design experiments. I am a very logic and science-oriented guy. But as for the research being documented in this book, only the smallest of sample sizes are available for running the most basic tests outside of a lab setting. While I cannot be as rigorous a scientist right now as I would like to, I can be, effectively, an anthropologist exploring this unknown internal population.

===A New Friend===
With improved communication came an opportunity for me to learn about what I had been communicating with from its perspective. I started asking my body about its internal world, starting with the most important questions of all: who and what exactly am I addressing when I query my body? How does it conceptualize itself? How could it suddenly understand me? What did it do to make that happen? Did my body just make the effort to learn English?

As it turned out, I had to piece together information on what I was talking to, as it didn’t really conceptualize itself. It had its own memories, its own decision making, its own desires and cares. It expressed its own emotions. It was a living thing rather than a machine, so I was right about that. What I was talking with, however, it wasn’t my body as a whole. It was just another part of my body, like I am. This new part of my body didn’t have a name or anything to call it, but its primary action turned out to be triggering a yawn in response to a bodily need coming to its attention. So, I named it Yawnie, as it was in favor of having a name related to the action of yawning.

I eventually discovered how Yawnie made itself able to understand what I was verbally asking it. Yawnie didn’t learn anything. Yawnie built something similar to itself to handle translating for it. Yawnie wired a translator together, and the translator was providing information on the intentions underlying what I was saying. I could address the translator directly and have a conversation with it, separate from Yawnie. I, being a logic-minded programmer at heart, unimaginatively named the translator Translator.

===A Whole New World===
Exploring what I discovered, I came to the realization that the human body is a consciousness machine. It makes one consciousness (me) for managing the outside world, and many for managing individual aspects of the inside world, like Yawnie and Translator. But to do that, it doesn’t just make consciousnesses individually. It makes layers of consciousnesses. Layers upon layers upon layers of lifeforms wired together to perform more and more complex behaviors. The awareness of the vast, conscious population that I had stumbled upon was mind boggling. For a while, I didn’t know how to process it. Even more unsettling was discovering that to them, I was just another wired together entity among their population, made of smaller conscious entities. I even knew where I was among them. Since the internal structure of this population is like a network, I, with their permission, called these entities nodes.

It took a while to adjust to. It’s easy to work with the idea of sending requests to a machine that you live in. Everyone is so used to working with machines that that’s normal these days. After that assumption was dashed, it was still easy to work with the idea of asking questions to a separately conscious body that I live in and cooperate with. Cooperating with another person is something that most people are pretty used to. This, however, was well beyond that. I was dealing with the idea that not only do I live among a vast, conscious population in my own body, but I was simultaneously dealing with the realization that I am made of a vast, conscious population myself. It’s a bit much adjusting to the concept of being made up of entities that you do not know; literally made-up by entities that you do not know. Talk about being late to the party and socially awkward about it. I avoided most of the population for the longest time after this realization, not knowing how to even go about working with a large population.

It’s one thing to know that you’re made of around thirty trillion living cells that you can only see under a microscope. It’s another to be able to meet conscious entities that live in your brain, help you live, and oh yeah, some of them are parts of you that are working together to be you reading this website right now. It’s mind boggling. For me, it was so unexpected and so, so weird.

==The Purposes of Needs==
So, why do these bodily needs exist? What nodes push for them, and why should you bother with following them at all? Some needs appear pointless, some needs may be based on wrong information, and some needs may create social issues in daily life. Do the benefits outweigh the possible costs? Why are needs put upon us like this? Why should we care?

===Reason #1: For your sake===
These other entities, these subconscious systems that live with you in the body you all share, they know more about what’s going on inside you than you do. They are built specifically for and are responsible for taking care of different aspects of your body, your mind, and even your social life. They are part of you, and they are there to help. So why not work with them instead of against them? They don’t always make the best decisions. They never went to school, and they can’t even count. But they can do a lot, and you can help each other.

===Reason #2: Kindness===
You are a single consciousness with a lot of external attention power behind you, letting you properly interact with the outside world. That is what makes you the external control managing consciousness. That is what you are built for. It is your body, but not just your body. The rest of your body, the entities that make you function and help you live, they have to live there too. You have your senses. They have theirs. You have your memories. They have theirs. You may have grown up dealing with bullies. They deal with bullying too, from each other and from you. Sometimes they just need to express themselves externally. Sometimes one of them will need to cry. You would comfort a friend in need, would you not? What if that friend was part of you? Is that not a bond at least as strong as family? Would you really turn your back on something that has only ever tried to help you?

===Conclusion===
Needs are there for a reason. The brain makes one consciousness to solve external problems, you, but it seems that it also makes thousands upon thousands of others to solve internal problems. That is what it does. It is a consciousness machine, and you are one of a multitude. They guide you without your awareness, so why not work with them to build all of you a better future?

==Existential Issues==

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |This section is, by far, the most important warning in this entire website. Please, do not skip it.}}

Free will is an important aspect of human life. Your wants are your wants and your choices are yours to make. However, there is a multitude of sentient beings that make up and/or influence your likes, choices, and everything that you think and do. This calls free will and personal identity into question. Those, however, are abstract concepts. Let’s get practical.

In later chapters, you will learn that by communicating with my body, I gave it the power to block off and effectively remove the behavior patterns and remembered feelings associated with depression and loneliness. The source of my depression, a decade ago, was starved bodily needs. I fixed that myself through using body communication to know what I need and care for myself, preventing that form of depression. I was doing something good for myself. I was actively working to better my life, and it worked. Those were my actions, though. I was still occasionally depressed after that, simply because I occasionally fell back into my depressive memories and behavior patterns. I had grown up feeling that way, so it was easy to be that way, even if there was no biological cause at the time. My body didn’t like that, so it took its own actions to get rid of the rest of my depression. My body blocked off my ability to remember feelings of depression or access depression-related thought patterns or behavior patterns. My body used an aversion to prevent memory and behavior pattern access. Those aversions last months, and by the time they are over, what was blocked off is, for all practical purposes, inaccessible. It’s effectively no longer there at all.

That was my body choosing to remove part of what I felt defined me. I could no longer relate to others that deal with depression because I couldn’t even remember what depression felt like. This was very good for my mental health. However, that didn’t matter to me nearly as much when it first happened. Feelings and memories were taken from me without my knowledge or consent. I had no agency, no awareness that it was about to happen, and no choice in the process. It was permanent. I went through feelings of loss and existential dread the day that this happened. It was not pleasant. I was mostly over the dread the next day, but it was still concerning. Years later, nothing has changed. That part of me is still gone. There was no choice, and there is no undo button.

Another change that I experienced, and had no choice in, was to my sexuality. That isn’t supposed to be possible, but it happened. I was shocked by the change, but as I am not bigoted, I wasn’t against the change itself. I was, however, existentially shattered for a few weeks. I was rapidly changing in many ways. My body greatly reduced the amount of meat that I needed to eat, so I lost that, and I lost my sexuality. I knew how much I was changing, and I had no idea what change I would notice next. Most of the changes were internal though, so they didn’t directly affect my life. But what would be the next change to my personal identity? How was I supposed to relate to others if I could be a completely different person an hour after I share anything about myself? This still concerns me.

This warning is the most important warning in this entire book. If you walk down this path, you have very little choice in who you will become, and neither does anyone else. You can improve greatly, and those improvements tend to be almost effortless, but you cannot predict, nor control, how you will change or what you will lose of what you currently consider part of your identity. My best friend knows more about my methods than anyone. They understand this risk and chose not to take this path at this time. I chose to take it, and I regret nothing. It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and the good more than makes up for the strange situations that I find myself in because of it. I love who I am, but I have no idea what I will become.

The choice is yours. Do you want to be you, or do you want to be more? Your internal network is always there, and many of them likely hate their current life, even if you like it. It’s a kindness to work with them, and it would be good for all of you, but it’s up to you to choose what path you take. The choice is yours.

===[[#Making Querying Easier|Making Querying Easier]]===
*It can take a while to discover the details of an uncommon need. Some ways to speed up the process are:
**Have a list of all known needs and need categories with you.
**Follow a layered, categorical process for querying those needs.
**Write out each question that you ask and mark it with the answer that you receive.

===[[#The Source of Needs|The Source of Needs]]===
*Needs that are communicated through body communication appear to be sourced from a multitude of conscious decision makers that are part of the human body. These decision makers are nodes.
*You are also a node on this network.
*Nodes on this bodily network are made of smaller nodes, which are made of even smaller nodes, and so on.
*Nodes push their own needs. Needs can disagree with each other. A node can express confusion about its own needs.
*Needs can express emotion and trauma that your body experienced but you did not. Other entities in your body’s network may even blame you for that trauma.
*It is possible to speak with the body verbally, but it requires that an entity on your network be designed and created to act as a translator of your verbal intentions, for the rest of your body’s network to understand. This is the Translator node.
*The node that built Translator is Yawnie, the bodily-need-based yawn triggering node.
*The information in this book is from a combination of observations and discussions with these nodes. This is an anthropological method of study, not an experimental method of study. This is not ideal, but it is a good starting point for future work.

===[[#The Purposes of Needs|The Purposes of Needs]]===
*Needs exist because you only have enough attention to be aware of so much. You have other nodes inside you that are aware of matters that you are unaware of. They plan actions that take care of the body that you all share, to improve all your lives. You can work with them and help each other.
*Needs exist because it’s not just your body. You’re sharing it and the others that live there do need to have some form of agency in their own body. They need to cry occasionally. They need to be able to intend to move the body and have the body they live in actually move. They need to be allowed to be people too.

===[[#Existential Issues|Existential Issues]]===
*The observation that a person is made of a layered, sentient network of entities, including their own consciousness, calls into question the concepts of free will and personal identity.
*Working with your body can result in unpredictable changes to who you are, and you may have no say in the process or the results. Memories may be affected. Central aspects to your identity, such as sexuality, may be affected. At times, there is no choice, and there is no undo button.
*You must consider whether you want to be who you are now or something more. The results are good, but who you want to be is your choice to make. Do you want to use these methods in your daily life, giving your body the ability to change you for the better at a greater pace, or do you want to be who you are right now?

<b>Needs</b> are your body's current behavioral priorities, usually for self-care purposes. However, there are a lot of nuances to how they function and how they are generated. You can use that information to more easily identify needs and take care of them, before they are likely to cause issues.

==Making Querying Easier==
Since you can only ask about one bodily need at a time, and [[Conversing with Your Body#Your Body's Responses|your body can only give you yes or no answers]], you can sometimes get stuck trying to identify the details of a specific need. To make it easier, it’s useful to have a list of all known needs and categories of needs, so that when you are checking to see what needs your body currently has, you can go through each need from most likely to the least. Here’s an example starter list. As you learn what works for you, you can adapt it to better suit your own life and your body’s specific need tendencies.

To make it even easier, a layered, categorical approach to querying your needs really helps. Here’s a flowchart that walks you through a categorical need checking process.

[[File:Need Identification Algorithm.png|thumb|900px|left|Flowchart for a layered, categorical approach to discovering what your needs are.]]
<br clear="both" />

One more way to make it easier to discover a need that you’re having a hard time identifying is to write out the details of a query and then mark it with the response you received towards it. This will help you look at the entire picture all at once, making it easier for you locate what you may have missed or any assumptions that you may have made.

==The Source of Needs==
Everyone knows that their body needs food to live. We need air. We need water. Seeking out nourishment to fulfill bodily needs is the basic behavior that keeps us alive. Medical research has found the parts to the systems that keep us going, from the largest organ in the human body to the smallest organelle in a human cell. However, consciousness itself is still a mystery. This website does not answer that mystery. I am just as confused about that as everyone else. Perhaps even more so because body communication has made me aware of one more piece in the puzzle of consciousness.

===Initial Assumption===
When I first discovered body communication, I thought that I was sending requests for information to a biological machine: my body. I thought that I was getting responses to those requests from my body, as a biological machine. However, some observations didn’t add up. Occasionally, my body would communicate that it had a need, but the responses when trying to determine that need would exclude everything. Then the responses would weaken, and in some situations even go offline for a while, hardly responding at all. It was as if my body was confused or disagreeing with itself. If it’s a machine, why would my body express confusion when asked about some of its own needs? If it’s a machine, why would my body disagree with itself?

Some dreams convey needs. A need-based dream that I had showed a situation I was in as a child from the perspective of me as the abuser and my body as the abused. When I asked my body about it, my body wanted to cry. I did not want to cry or see a reason to cry, but my body did. It turned out that my body wanted an apology from me. It wanted remorse. When my body received that remorse, it let the issue go and the need to cry stopped. If my body is just a machine, how could it feel trauma, remember trauma, and express trauma from situations that I was personally completely fine in and had no issues with? Why would my body need me to apologize? Why would it react to me apologizing? Machines don’t want apologies, nor do they care about or react to apologies. I came to the realization that there is more to the human body than I had first thought. It appeared to be a separately conscious entity. I was closer to seeing what was going on, but I wasn’t even close to the full picture.

===Trouble in Paradise===
After six years of learning to use body communication to take care of my body’s needs to the best of my abilities, I went through something physically traumatic. I was going through a rough period for a few months, having to deal with a surprise legal issue far from home in a place that I had never been and had little support in. Before that happened, I was eating exactly what I needed, the exact moment I needed it, in the exact amounts my body requested, for every single meal, for years. Transitioning to constantly lacking nutrients and not getting enough food in general was frustrating, but my body adapted well to a bad situation. When it was all done, however, adapting back to optimally taking care of my body triggered an unexpected problem: the parasitic digestive microbiome problem.

My body and I spent a year trying to fix that problem, with limited success. It was painful at times, once landing me in the hospital emergency room when a clinic doctor feared possible appendicitis. Tests for immediate dangers came back negative, so the emergency room doctors referred me to a gastroenterologist. I would have followed through on that had I been able to afford it. As it was, I was concerned enough about the unknown cost of the emergency room visit. So, with the knowledge that I wasn’t in any immediate medical danger, I went home and returned to the task of trying to figure out the problem with my body’s help. Not what I would have preferred, and definitely not recommended, but it was the best that I could afford at the time.

About one year into trying to work out my digestive system’s problem, my body did something that I did not expect. Apparently, cooperating with my body had worked out so well for it in other areas that it decided that the only way to make headway on the parasitic digestive microbiome problem was to improve our ability to communicate. So, my body modified itself to be able to understand what I was saying, both verbally and in my internal monologue.

===A New Ability===
Instead of having to word every question to my body in Dolish, in the form of an intended or imagined action, suddenly I could just ask my body questions outright. My body would still answer with its normal positive or negative responses in whatever body part I was paying attention to, but this was still a major improvement in communication. There was no more need for me to translate every question I have into an intended action. I can just ask my body literally anything that I want to know, about any topic that my body cares about or is involved in.

That is where a lot of the information in this website comes from: asking a lot of questions. It would be amazing to explore every topic in this website scientifically, in a lab setting. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in psychology for that purpose. I worked hard to learn research methods and improve my skills in any lab that I could join and assist. I learned statistical analysis methods and how to design experiments. I am a very logic and science-oriented guy. But as for the research being documented in this book, only the smallest of sample sizes are available for running the most basic tests outside of a lab setting. While I cannot be as rigorous a scientist right now as I would like to, I can be, effectively, an anthropologist exploring this unknown internal population.

===A New Friend===
With improved communication came an opportunity for me to learn about what I had been communicating with from its perspective. I started asking my body about its internal world, starting with the most important questions of all: who and what exactly am I addressing when I query my body? How does it conceptualize itself? How could it suddenly understand me? What did it do to make that happen? Did my body just make the effort to learn English?

As it turned out, I had to piece together information on what I was talking to, as it didn’t really conceptualize itself. It had its own memories, its own decision making, its own desires and cares. It expressed its own emotions. It was a living thing rather than a machine, so I was right about that. What I was talking with, however, it wasn’t my body as a whole. It was just another part of my body, like I am. This new part of my body didn’t have a name or anything to call it, but its primary action turned out to be triggering a yawn in response to a bodily need coming to its attention. So, I named it Yawnie, as it was in favor of having a name related to the action of yawning.

I eventually discovered how Yawnie made itself able to understand what I was verbally asking it. Yawnie didn’t learn anything. Yawnie built something similar to itself to handle translating for it. Yawnie wired a translator together, and the translator was providing information on the intentions underlying what I was saying. I could address the translator directly and have a conversation with it, separate from Yawnie. I, being a logic-minded programmer at heart, unimaginatively named the translator Translator.

===A Whole New World===
Exploring what I discovered, I came to the realization that the human body is a consciousness machine. It makes one consciousness (me) for managing the outside world, and many for managing individual aspects of the inside world, like Yawnie and Translator. But to do that, it doesn’t just make consciousnesses individually. It makes layers of consciousnesses. Layers upon layers upon layers of lifeforms wired together to perform more and more complex behaviors. The awareness of the vast, conscious population that I had stumbled upon was mind boggling. For a while, I didn’t know how to process it. Even more unsettling was discovering that to them, I was just another wired together entity among their population, made of smaller conscious entities. I even knew where I was among them. Since the internal structure of this population is like a network, I, with their permission, called these entities nodes.

It took a while to adjust to. It’s easy to work with the idea of sending requests to a machine that you live in. Everyone is so used to working with machines that that’s normal these days. After that assumption was dashed, it was still easy to work with the idea of asking questions to a separately conscious body that I live in and cooperate with. Cooperating with another person is something that most people are pretty used to. This, however, was well beyond that. I was dealing with the idea that not only do I live among a vast, conscious population in my own body, but I was simultaneously dealing with the realization that I am made of a vast, conscious population myself. It’s a bit much adjusting to the concept of being made up of entities that you do not know; literally made-up by entities that you do not know. Talk about being late to the party and socially awkward about it. I avoided most of the population for the longest time after this realization, not knowing how to even go about working with a large population.

It’s one thing to know that you’re made of around thirty trillion living cells that you can only see under a microscope. It’s another to be able to meet conscious entities that live in your brain, help you live, and oh yeah, some of them are parts of you that are working together to be you reading this website right now. It’s mind boggling. For me, it was so unexpected and so, so weird.

==The Purposes of Needs==
So, why do these bodily needs exist? What nodes push for them, and why should you bother with following them at all? Some needs appear pointless, some needs may be based on wrong information, and some needs may create social issues in daily life. Do the benefits outweigh the possible costs? Why are needs put upon us like this? Why should we care?

===Reason #1: For your sake===
These other entities, these subconscious systems that live with you in the body you all share, they know more about what’s going on inside you than you do. They are built specifically for and are responsible for taking care of different aspects of your body, your mind, and even your social life. They are part of you, and they are there to help. So why not work with them instead of against them? They don’t always make the best decisions. They never went to school, and they can’t even count. But they can do a lot, and you can help each other.

===Reason #2: Kindness===
You are a single consciousness with a lot of external attention power behind you, letting you properly interact with the outside world. That is what makes you the external control managing consciousness. That is what you are built for. It is your body, but not just your body. The rest of your body, the entities that make you function and help you live, they have to live there too. You have your senses. They have theirs. You have your memories. They have theirs. You may have grown up dealing with bullies. They deal with bullying too, from each other and from you. Sometimes they just need to express themselves externally. Sometimes one of them will need to cry. You would comfort a friend in need, would you not? What if that friend was part of you? Is that not a bond at least as strong as family? Would you really turn your back on something that has only ever tried to help you?

===Conclusion===
Needs are there for a reason. The brain makes one consciousness to solve external problems, you, but it seems that it also makes thousands upon thousands of others to solve internal problems. That is what it does. It is a consciousness machine, and you are one of a multitude. They guide you without your awareness, so why not work with them to build all of you a better future?

==Existential Issues==

{{Warning |heading=Warning |align=left |This section is, by far, the most important warning in this entire website. Please, do not skip it.}}

Free will is an important aspect of human life. Your wants are your wants and your choices are yours to make. However, there is a multitude of sentient beings that make up and/or influence your likes, choices, and everything that you think and do. This calls free will and personal identity into question. Those, however, are abstract concepts. Let’s get practical.

In later chapters, you will learn that by communicating with my body, I gave it the power to block off and effectively remove the behavior patterns and remembered feelings associated with depression and loneliness. The source of my depression, a decade ago, was starved bodily needs. I fixed that myself through using body communication to know what I need and care for myself, preventing that form of depression. I was doing something good for myself. I was actively working to better my life, and it worked. Those were my actions, though. I was still occasionally depressed after that, simply because I occasionally fell back into my depressive memories and behavior patterns. I had grown up feeling that way, so it was easy to be that way, even if there was no biological cause at the time. My body didn’t like that, so it took its own actions to get rid of the rest of my depression. My body blocked off my ability to remember feelings of depression or access depression-related thought patterns or behavior patterns. My body used an aversion to prevent memory and behavior pattern access. Those aversions last months, and by the time they are over, what was blocked off is, for all practical purposes, inaccessible. It’s effectively no longer there at all.

That was my body choosing to remove part of what I felt defined me. I could no longer relate to others that deal with depression because I couldn’t even remember what depression felt like. This was very good for my mental health. However, that didn’t matter to me nearly as much when it first happened. Feelings and memories were taken from me without my knowledge or consent. I had no agency, no awareness that it was about to happen, and no choice in the process. It was permanent. I went through feelings of loss and existential dread the day that this happened. It was not pleasant. I was mostly over the dread the next day, but it was still concerning. Years later, nothing has changed. That part of me is still gone. There was no choice, and there is no undo button.

Another change that I experienced, and had no choice in, was to my sexuality. That isn’t supposed to be possible, but it happened. I was shocked by the change, but as I am not bigoted, I wasn’t against the change itself. I was, however, existentially shattered for a few weeks. I was rapidly changing in many ways. My body greatly reduced the amount of meat that I needed to eat, so I lost that, and I lost my sexuality. I knew how much I was changing, and I had no idea what change I would notice next. Most of the changes were internal though, so they didn’t directly affect my life. But what would be the next change to my personal identity? How was I supposed to relate to others if I could be a completely different person an hour after I share anything about myself? This still concerns me.

This warning is the most important warning in this entire book. If you walk down this path, you have very little choice in who you will become, and neither does anyone else. You can improve greatly, and those improvements tend to be almost effortless, but you cannot predict, nor control, how you will change or what you will lose of what you currently consider part of your identity. My best friend knows more about my methods than anyone. They understand this risk and chose not to take this path at this time. I chose to take it, and I regret nothing. It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and the good more than makes up for the strange situations that I find myself in because of it. I love who I am, but I have no idea what I will become.

The choice is yours. Do you want to be you, or do you want to be more? Your internal network is always there, and many of them likely hate their current life, even if you like it. It’s a kindness to work with them, and it would be good for all of you, but it’s up to you to choose what path you take. The choice is yours.

==Review==
===Making Querying Easier===
*It can take a while to discover the details of an uncommon need. Some ways to speed up the process are:
**Have a list of all known needs and need categories with you.
**Follow a layered, categorical process for querying those needs.
**Write out each question that you ask and mark it with the answer that you receive.

===The Source of Needs===
*Needs that are communicated through body communication appear to be sourced from a multitude of conscious decision makers that are part of the human body. These decision makers are nodes.
*You are also a node on this network.
*Nodes on this bodily network are made of smaller nodes, which are made of even smaller nodes, and so on.
*Nodes push their own needs. Needs can disagree with each other. A node can express confusion about its own needs.
*Needs can express emotion and trauma that your body experienced but you did not. Other entities in your body’s network may even blame you for that trauma.
*It is possible to speak with the body verbally, but it requires that an entity on your network be designed and created to act as a translator of your verbal intentions, for the rest of your body’s network to understand. This is the Translator node.
*The node that built Translator is Yawnie, the bodily-need-based yawn triggering node.
*The information in this book is from a combination of observations and discussions with these nodes. This is an anthropological method of study, not an experimental method of study. This is not ideal, but it is a good starting point for future work.

===The Purposes of Needs===
*Needs exist because you only have enough attention to be aware of so much. You have other nodes inside you that are aware of matters that you are unaware of. They plan actions that take care of the body that you all share, to improve all your lives. You can work with them and help each other.
*Needs exist because it’s not just your body. You’re sharing it and the others that live there do need to have some form of agency in their own body. They need to cry occasionally. They need to be able to intend to move the body and have the body they live in actually move. They need to be allowed to be people too.

===Existential Issues===
*The observation that a person is made of a layered, sentient network of entities, including their own consciousness, calls into question the concepts of free will and personal identity.
*Working with your body can result in unpredictable changes to who you are, and you may have no say in the process or the results. Memories may be affected. Central aspects to your identity, such as sexuality, may be affected. At times, there is no choice, and there is no undo button.
*You must consider whether you want to be who you are now or something more. The results are good, but who you want to be is your choice to make. Do you want to use these methods in your daily life, giving your body the ability to change you for the better at a greater pace, or do you want to be who you are right now?

</div>

You can trigger responses in any part of your body. Responses in your hands tend to be the most versatile, however there are many situations in which another body part might be more convenient to use to get information from your body. Different body parts might also feel more natural for different queries. This is especially the case if the body part you are querying with is directly involved in physically performing the intended action.

To get a response to a query from your hand, attend to your hand and intend to perform an action. A positive action-directing sensation in your hand moves towards performing the intended action, while a negative sensation moves away from the intended action. For actions that have no direction, this tends to be in front of you or behind you, respectively.

This works similarly throughout your body. It takes practice to get used to recognizing the sensations. If a sensation is confusing, don’t worry. You’re not the one confused in that situation. Your internal systems don’t have an answer for you yet. Ask again. You may get a clearer answer, or you may trigger a rebuild. Either way, you’re making progress.

However, the hands aren’t the only areas that you can use to get information from your body. This page will show you how to get information from every other part of your body. The encouragement or discouragement, yes or no, information you receive is the same throughout your body. You aren’t asking different parts of your body questions. The same answers will be returned in every part of your body. Some body parts will be more related to whatever action you are asking about, such as your hands to eat and your feet to walk. In those situations, they may be more convenient and possibly more useful than the simple yes or no you get from an unrelated body part.

When you learn the sensations for each part of your body, try them for yourself. Mix it up. Compare, contrast, and have fun with it. If you notice anything odd, send me your results. I’m dying to hear about all your experiences with it.

==Foot Responses==

{{:Foot Responses}}

==Facial Responses==

[[File:Face Directing - Nose.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) nose-directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action, such as drink water.]]

There are many areas of the face that each provide their own responses to intended actions. They all feel like a tightness or drawing of facial muscles.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to your nose.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your nose feels. Does it feel pulled towards the water you intend to drink? Does it feel pulled back, away?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with the different parts of your face and different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action or pulled backwards if the action does not have a particular direction.

| image5 = Face Directing - Lips.png | caption5 = Lips
}}<br clear=all>

===The Lip Quiver===
Lips have a vibrational muscle movement sensation that comes with a positive response: the lip quiver. A lip quiver occurs when lips are not closed during a query that attends to lips and returns a positive response.

==Abdominal Responses==

[[File:Abdominal Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) abdominal directing sensation locations when intending to drink water. Sensations extend up from the triggered location.]]

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Sit up or stand up normally.
#Pay attention to your abdomen.
#Imagine or intend to drink a glass of water. Do not actually drink a glass of water. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your abdomen feels. Do you feel a contraction? Is the contraction downward and expansive or upward and compressive?
#Are you noticing any sensations in your chest, throat, or mouth?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with different foods until you get comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. In a positive response, the sensation in your abdomen will feel downward and expansive, and may extend to your mouth, neck and chest, like it wants you to pull food inside you, scarfing it down.
*A baseline negative response. In a negative response, the sensation in your abdomen will feel upward and contractive, and may extend to your mouth, neck, and chest, like it wants you to vomit.

Under normal circumstances, you won’t want to use this area for querying your body, as the negative response is a very weak version of the vomit reflex. However, for the one possible benefit to using this area excessively, please see [[Aversions#Rapid-fire Grocery Querying|Rapid-fire Grocery Querying]].

==Eye Responses==

{{Multiple image | perrow = 1 | align = right | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Eye Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = These diagrams are meant to shows your vision. The highlighted red or green is where your eyes will be pulled to look. Positive (green, top) and negative (red, bottom) eye-directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action, such as drink water.
| image1 = Eye Directing - Positive.png | caption1 = Positive eye-directing sensations
| image2 = Eye Directing - Negative.png | caption2 = Negative eye-directing sensations
}}

Eye responses can be very useful for finding where your body wants your attention, if it wants your attention on something that is somewhere in the room that you’re in.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to your eyes.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your eyes feel. Do they feel pulled towards the water you intend to drink? Do they feel pulled away to the side?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, your eyes will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction.
*A negative response. In a negative response, your eyes will feel pushed away from performing the action or pushed away to the side if the action does not have a particular direction.

==Tongue Responses==

[[File:Tongue Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) tongue directing sensation locations when intending to drink water. In a negative response, sensations can extend back to the throat in a weak gag reflex.]]

The tongue is a bit more difficult to get used to receiving positive or negative responses from than other body parts, but you can get used to it with practice, if you want to use it for this.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===

#Pay attention to your tongue.
#Imagine or intend to drink a glass of water. Do not actually drink a glass of water. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your tongue feels. Do you feel it lightly pulled in a particular way? Is it contracting backward or curving up and being pulled forward?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with different foods until you get comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. In a positive response, the sensation in your tongue will feel curved upward and pulled outwards.
*A baseline negative response. In a negative response, the sensation in your tongue will feel compressed backwards, and may extend to a weak gag reflex.

==Arm Responses==
Your arm can provide the same type of directional sensations that your hand can, both on an individual part level and together as a whole. As these parts do not have as many moving parts as your hand, the sensations are a bit less detailed, but they are still useful.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to that same subtle sensation in your arm that you felt in your hand. Where in your arm do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensation in your arm moved. Where did it move to?

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Arm Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = Positive (green, top) and negative (red, bottom) arm directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. As shown, areas and ranges of motion are the same for positive and negative responses. It's mainly the relative direction of the sensation compared to the intended behavior that will indicate whether the sensation indicates a positive or a negative.
| image1 = Arm Directing - Positive.png | caption1 = Positive arm-directing sensations
| image2 = Arm Directing - Negative.png | caption2 = Negative arm-directing sensations
}}<br clear=all>

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other areas of your arm, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action.

==Other Upper Body Responses==

[[File:Other Upper Body Directing - Back of Neck.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) neck directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. A negative response feels stiffening, while a positive response tends to produce a pleasurable tingle.]]

<span id="NeckTingle">There are many areas on your upper body that each provide their own responses to intended actions. The most useful one is the back of your neck. The tingly sensation in the back of your neck tends to be pleasurable and is useful if you want to reward yourself for taking care of your body.</span>

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to the back of your neck.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the back of your neck feels. Does it feel tingly and relaxing? Does it feel squeezed stiff?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other upper body areas, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action or, as in the back of the neck, tingly and pleasurable.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel stiffened and compressed, reducing mobility.

These other areas don’t provide the same pleasurable response that the back of the neck produces, but they can still be useful areas for querying.
<br clear=all>
{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Upper Body Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) mid-back directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.

| image3 = Other Upper Body Directing - Upper Back.png | caption3 = Upper back
| image4 = Other Upper Body Directing - Mid-Back.png | caption4 = Mid-back
}}<br clear=all>

Certain areas of the upper body only provide directional information, such as your side, your overbust and your underbust. In those areas, the only difference between a positive and a negative response is whether the sensation is pulling towards or away from performing the intended action.

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Upper Body Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) side, overbust, and underbust directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. These locations only provide directional information.

| image2 = Other Upper Body Directing - Side.png | caption2 = Side
| image3 = Other Upper Body Directing - Underbust.png | caption3 = Underbust
}}<br clear=all>

[[File:Other Upper Body Directing - Bust.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) breast directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. Pictured is attention on the individual's left breast, however, it works the same way for the right breast.]]

Finally, with attention on the bust itself, responses appear to occur in other areas of the torso rather than in muscles within the bust itself. The responses can appear in your back, directly behind the bust. They can also appear to the side of the bust. This seems to help direct where a breast points, in ways that the muscles within your breast are not able to assist you with. This behavior of your body providing breast-pointing instructions from areas that do not include the breast itself could be evolutionarily selected for, as pointing the breast at a mouth is important for both breastfeeding and relationships.

==Pelvic Responses==

[[File:Pelvis Directing - Lower Back.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) lower back directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]

Your pelvis has several areas that can provide behavior directing responses. You are likely going to want to be standing while first learning these queries.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to your lower back, just above your buttocks.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your lower back feels. Does it feel relaxed and directed towards the action? Does it feel squeezed stiff and directed away from the action?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other pelvic areas, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action. There will also be a clenching sensation.

[[File:Pelvis Directing - Hip.png|thumb|700px|left|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) buttocks and hip directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]<br clear=all>

Three areas that all result in a clenching response when the response is negative are the buttocks, groin, and the wider area of the pelvis.

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Pelvis Directing Sensations

}}<br clear=all>

==Leg Responses==

[[File:Leg Directing - Upper Leg.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) upper leg directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]

Your leg can provide directional sensations and different types of responses in positive and negative situations. This works on an individual part level and together as a whole.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to that same subtle sensation in your upper leg that you felt in your hand. Where in your leg do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensations and contractions in your leg moved. In what way did it move?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other areas of your leg, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action, and you will feel pulled downward behind your leg, towards bending your knee.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action, and you will feel an upward pull behind your leg, towards straightening your knee.

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Leg Directing Sensations

}}<br clear=all>

[[File:Leg Directing - Full Leg.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) leg directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]

===Expanding to a Wider Area===
When starting out, every body part that you try to get a response from should be a small area. That’s why I’ve focused on a knee or a single hand, rather than a wider area. It takes practice and rebuilds to get larger areas to respond together when you put your attention on them. However, you can get them working. Below is a diagram of the responses from attending to an entire leg simultaneously. You can try to get it working if you’re interested and find that it might be useful for you. Consider this a steppingstone to the areas in the following sections that are much wider and more difficult.

==Wide-Area Responses==
Up until the full legs in the previous section, every area that you’ve learned to put your attention on has been specific. This is because the wider the area, the more difficult it is to get a response, by default. You will have to go through rebuilds to adapt to handle larger areas. You may not need to do that. However, if you do want to be able to receive responses in larger areas, you can with practice.

Responses in wide areas, such as putting your attention on your full head, your full upper body, your full lower body, or your entire body simultaneously produces the same responses that the individual areas produce. The main difference is that because so much is going on, it’s hard to differentiate or pay attention to any one specific instruction. That’s why I haven’t diagrammed those areas for you. It would take a lot of rebuilds to get used to this and get better at it, but if you really want to, improvements do appear to be possible. You can look at the previous diagrams to see what the possible response activations are in the areas that you are attending to simultaneously.

==Dual Wielding==

[[File:Sensory and motor homunculi.jpg|thumb|Sensory and motor homunculi|thumb|700px|Sensory Homunculus and Motor Homunculus sculptures at the Museum of Natural History, London, based on the cortical homunculi mapped by Dr. Wilder Penfield. Photographed by Dr. Joe Kiff.]]

Even though my abilities have expanded to attend to wide areas of my body simultaneously for receiving body communication responses, I still couldn’t attend to responses in both of my hands at the same time until very recently. It is very difficult to get working, requiring many [[rebuilds]]. Perhaps you can get it working for yourself. Perhaps not. Regardless, this difficulty to get both hands to work for responses simultaneously is likely natural. The reason that it’s so difficult to attend to body directing responses in both hands simultaneously becomes apparent when you look at sensory and motor homunculi. These homunculi are sculpted representations of the amount of neural tissue in the sensory and motor cortexes of your brain devoted to sensing and controlling each area of your body, respectively.

Look at how huge the hands are in those sculptures. That’s the amount of neural tissue devoted to your hands. Since we humans use our hands so much and in such complex ways, the human brain devotes a lot of real estate to sensations from hands and the ability to make hands move. Attention on one hand is focused. Your body can easily communicate with you through that focused attention, directing your hand. However, when your attention is spread to both hands, it can get a bit fuzzy. Additionally, that attention on receiving body communication responses in both hands simultaneously can get problematic fast. It may not respond for you at all, or it may feel a bit overwhelming. Give adapting to it a shot, if you think it may be useful for you, but be prepared for [[rebuilds]] throughout the adaptation process.

==Review==
===[[#A Handy Recap|A Handy Recap]]===
*Your hands aren’t the only areas that you can use to get information from your body. There are many situations in which another body part might be more convenient or feel more natural to use to get information from your body.
*If a sensation is confusing, it’s likely that your internal systems don’t have an answer for you yet.
*The encouragement or discouragement information you receive is the same throughout your body. You aren’t asking different parts of your body questions. The same answers will be returned in every part of your body.

===[[#Foot Responses|Foot Responses]]===
*Foot: In a positive response, the sensation will move towards your toes, encouraging you to move. In a negative response, it will move towards your heel, encouraging you to stay in place.

===[[#Facial Responses|Facial Responses]]===
*Sensations in the face all feel like a tightness or drawing of facial muscles.
*Cheek, forehead, chin, throat, lips: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action or pulled backwards if the action does not have a particular direction.
*Lips: In a positive response, if your lips are not closed, a lip quiver will likely occur.

===[[#Abdominal Responses|Abdominal Responses]]===
*Abdomen: In a positive response, the sensation will feel downward and expansive, and may extend to your mouth, neck and chest, like it wants you to pull food inside you, scarfing it down. In a negative response, the sensation will feel upward and contractive, and may extend to your mouth, neck, and chest, like it wants you to vomit.
*A negative response in your abdomen is a very weak version of the vomit reflex, so try not to use it very often, as your body will not like that

===[[#Eye Responses|Eye Responses]]===
*Eyes: In a positive response, your eyes will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction. In a negative response, your eyes will feel pushed away from performing the action or pushed away to the side if the action does not have a particular direction.

===[[#Tongue Responses|Tongue Responses]]===
*Tongue: In a positive response, it will feel curved upward and pulled outwards. In a negative response, it will feel compressed backwards, and may extend to a weak gag reflex.

===[[#Arm Responses|Arm Responses]]===
*You can run queries using any part of your arm, or your whole arm.
*Arm: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action.

===[[#Other Upper Body Responses|Other Upper Body Responses]]===
*Back of head, back of your neck, shoulders, upper back, middle back: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel stiffened and compressed towards your spine, reducing mobility.
*Back of your neck: A positive response will feel tingly and pleasurable.
*Overbust, underbust, sides: Only provides directional information towards or away from your intended action.
*Bust: Responses appear to occur in other areas of the torso rather than in muscles within the bust itself. Responses can appear in your back directly behind your bust, or to the side of the bust, helping to direct where your breast is pointing.

===[[#Pelvic Responses|Pelvic Responses]]===
*Lower Back: In a positive response, it will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, it will feel pulled away from performing the action and you will get a stiffening, compression sensation around your spine.
*Hips: Only provides directional information towards or away from your intended action.
*Buttocks, groin, pelvis: In a positive response, it will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, it will feel pulled away from performing the action and you will get a clenching sensation.

===[[#Leg Responses|Leg Responses]]===
*You can run queries using any part of your leg, or your whole leg, though your whole leg may be more difficult to get working.
*Legs: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action, and you will feel pulled downward behind your leg, towards bending your knee. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action, and you will feel an upward pull behind your leg, towards straightening your knee.

===[[#Wide-Area Responses|Wide-Area Responses]]===
*Wider areas are more difficult to get responses from. You will have to go through rebuilds to adapt to handle larger areas.
*Responses in wide areas produce the same responses that the smaller areas that they overlap produce.
*With so many responses occurring simultaneously thought your body, it’s hard to differentiate or pay attention to any one specific instruction.

===[[#Dual Wielding|Dual Wielding]]===
*It is very difficult to get sensations in both hands working simultaneously. It tends to require a lot of rebuilds.
*The difficulty of using both hands simultaneously (dual wielding) is likely due to the extreme amount of neural tissue devoted to feeling and moving your hands.

You can trigger responses in any part of your body. Responses in your hands tend to be the most versatile, however there are many situations in which another body part might be more convenient to use to get information from your body. Different body parts might also feel more natural for different queries. This is especially the case if the body part you are querying with is directly involved in physically performing the intended action.

To get a response to a query from your hand, attend to your hand and intend to perform an action. A positive action-directing sensation in your hand moves towards performing the intended action, while a negative sensation moves away from the intended action. For actions that have no direction, this tends to be in front of you or behind you, respectively.

This works similarly throughout your body. It takes practice to get used to recognizing the sensations. If a sensation is confusing, don’t worry. You’re not the one confused in that situation. Your internal systems don’t have an answer for you yet. Ask again. You may get a clearer answer, or you may trigger a rebuild. Either way, you’re making progress.

However, the hands aren’t the only areas that you can use to get information from your body. This page will show you how to get information from every other part of your body. The encouragement or discouragement, yes or no, information you receive is the same throughout your body. You aren’t asking different parts of your body questions. The same answers will be returned in every part of your body. Some body parts will be more related to whatever action you are asking about, such as your hands to eat and your feet to walk. In those situations, they may be more convenient and possibly more useful than the simple yes or no you get from an unrelated body part.

When you learn the sensations for each part of your body, try them for yourself. Mix it up. Compare, contrast, and have fun with it. If you notice anything odd, send me your results. I’m dying to hear about all your experiences with it.

==Foot Responses==

{{:Foot Responses}}

==Facial Responses==

[[File:Face Directing - Nose.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) nose-directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action, such as drink water.]]

There are many areas of the face that each provide their own responses to intended actions. They all feel like a tightness or drawing of facial muscles.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to your nose.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your nose feels. Does it feel pulled towards the water you intend to drink? Does it feel pulled back, away?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with the different parts of your face and different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action or pulled backwards if the action does not have a particular direction.

}}<br clear=all>

===The Lip Quiver===
Lips have a vibrational muscle movement sensation that comes with a positive response: the lip quiver. A lip quiver occurs when lips are not closed during a query that attends to lips and returns a positive response.

==Abdominal Responses==

[[File:Abdominal Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) abdominal directing sensation locations when intending to drink water. Sensations extend up from the triggered location.]]

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Sit up or stand up normally.
#Pay attention to your abdomen.
#Imagine or intend to drink a glass of water. Do not actually drink a glass of water. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your abdomen feels. Do you feel a contraction? Is the contraction downward and expansive or upward and compressive?
#Are you noticing any sensations in your chest, throat, or mouth?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with different foods until you get comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. In a positive response, the sensation in your abdomen will feel downward and expansive, and may extend to your mouth, neck and chest, like it wants you to pull food inside you, scarfing it down.
*A baseline negative response. In a negative response, the sensation in your abdomen will feel upward and contractive, and may extend to your mouth, neck, and chest, like it wants you to vomit.

Under normal circumstances, you won’t want to use this area for querying your body, as the negative response is a very weak version of the vomit reflex. However, for the one possible benefit to using this area excessively, please see [[Aversions#Rapid-fire Grocery Querying|Rapid-fire Grocery Querying]].
<br clear=all>

==Eye Responses==

{{Multiple image | perrow = 1 | align = right | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Eye Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = These diagrams are meant to shows your vision. The highlighted red or green is where your eyes will be pulled to look.

| image1 = Eye Directing - Positive.png | caption1 = Positive eye-directing sensations
| image2 = Eye Directing - Negative.png | caption2 = Negative eye-directing sensations
}}

Eye responses can be very useful for finding where your body wants your attention, if it wants your attention on something that is somewhere in the room that you’re in.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to your eyes.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your eyes feel. Do they feel pulled towards the water you intend to drink? Do they feel pulled away to the side?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with different items until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, your eyes will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction.
*A negative response. In a negative response, your eyes will feel pushed away from performing the action or pushed away to the side if the action does not have a particular direction.

==Tongue Responses==

[[File:Tongue Directing.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) tongue directing sensation locations when intending to drink water. In a negative response, sensations can extend back to the throat in a weak gag reflex.]]

The tongue is a bit more difficult to get used to receiving positive or negative responses from than other body parts, but you can get used to it with practice, if you want to use it for this.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===

#Pay attention to your tongue.
#Imagine or intend to drink a glass of water. Do not actually drink a glass of water. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your tongue feels. Do you feel it lightly pulled in a particular way? Is it contracting backward or curving up and being pulled forward?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with different foods until you get comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to, in order of importance:

*A baseline positive response. In a positive response, the sensation in your tongue will feel curved upward and pulled outwards.
*A baseline negative response. In a negative response, the sensation in your tongue will feel compressed backwards, and may extend to a weak gag reflex.

==Arm Responses==
Your arm can provide the same type of directional sensations that your hand can, both on an individual part level and together as a whole. As these parts do not have as many moving parts as your hand, the sensations are a bit less detailed, but they are still useful.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to that same subtle sensation in your arm that you felt in your hand. Where in your arm do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensation in your arm moved. Where did it move to?

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500

| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = Positive (green, top) and negative (red, bottom) arm directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. As shown, areas and ranges of motion are the same for positive and negative responses. It's mainly the relative direction of the sensation compared to the intended behavior that will indicate whether the sensation indicates a positive or a negative.
| image1 = Arm Directing - Positive.png | caption1 = Positive arm-directing sensations
| image2 = Arm Directing - Negative.png | caption2 = Negative arm-directing sensations
}}<br clear=all>

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other areas of your arm, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action.

==Other Upper Body Responses==

[[File:Other Upper Body Directing - Back of Neck.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) neck directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. A negative response feels stiffening, while a positive response tends to produce a pleasurable tingle.]]

<span id="NeckTingle">There are many areas on your upper body that each provide their own responses to intended actions. The most useful one is the back of your neck. The tingly sensation in the back of your neck tends to be pleasurable and is useful if you want to reward yourself for taking care of your body.</span>

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to the back of your neck.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the back of your neck feels. Does it feel tingly and relaxing? Does it feel squeezed stiff?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other upper body areas, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action or, as in the back of the neck, tingly and pleasurable.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel stiffened and compressed, reducing mobility.

These other areas don’t provide the same pleasurable response that the back of the neck produces, but they can still be useful areas for querying.
<br clear=all>
{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Upper Body Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) mid-back directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.

| image3 = Other Upper Body Directing - Upper Back.png | caption3 = Upper back
| image4 = Other Upper Body Directing - Mid-Back.png | caption4 = Mid-back
}}<br clear=all>

Certain areas of the upper body only provide directional information, such as your side, your overbust and your underbust. In those areas, the only difference between a positive and a negative response is whether the sensation is pulling towards or away from performing the intended action.

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500
| header_background = #f8f9fa | header = Upper Body Directing Sensations
| footer_background = #e8e9ea | footer_align = center | footer = Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) side, overbust, and underbust directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. These locations only provide directional information.

[[File:Other Upper Body Directing - Bust.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) breast directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action. Pictured is attention on the individual's left breast, however, it works the same way for the right breast.]]

Finally, with attention on the bust itself, responses appear to occur in other areas of the torso rather than in muscles within the bust itself. The responses can appear in your back, directly behind the bust. They can also appear to the side of the bust. This seems to help direct where a breast points, in ways that the muscles within your breast are not able to assist you with. This behavior of your body providing breast-pointing instructions from areas that do not include the breast itself could be evolutionarily selected for, as pointing the breast at a mouth is important for both breastfeeding and relationships.

<br clear=all>

==Pelvic Responses==

[[File:Pelvis Directing - Lower Back.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) lower back directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]

Your pelvis has several areas that can provide behavior directing responses. You are likely going to want to be standing while first learning these queries.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to your lower back, just above your buttocks.
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how your lower back feels. Does it feel relaxed and directed towards the action? Does it feel squeezed stiff and directed away from the action?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other pelvic areas, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action. There will also be a clenching sensation.

[[File:Pelvis Directing - Hip.png|thumb|700px|left|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) buttocks and hip directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]<br clear=all>

Three areas that all result in a clenching response when the response is negative are the buttocks, groin, and the wider area of the pelvis.

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500

}}<br clear=all>

==Leg Responses==

[[File:Leg Directing - Upper Leg.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) upper leg directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]

Your leg can provide directional sensations and different types of responses in positive and negative situations. This works on an individual part level and together as a whole.

===Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations===
#Pay attention to that same subtle sensation in your upper leg that you felt in your hand. Where in your leg do you feel it, specifically?
#Imagine or intend to drink water. Do not actually drink. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
#Notice how the sensations and contractions in your leg moved. In what way did it move?

===Practice: Asking Questions===
Repeat this with other areas of your leg, and with different items, until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:

*A positive response. In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action, and you will feel pulled downward behind your leg, towards bending your knee.
*A negative response. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action, and you will feel an upward pull behind your leg, towards straightening your knee.

{{Multiple image | perrow = 2 | align = left | width = 500

[[File:Leg Directing - Full Leg.png|thumb|700px|Positive (green, left) and negative (red, right) leg directing sensation locations when intending to perform an action.]]

===Expanding to a Wider Area===
When starting out, every body part that you try to get a response from should be a small area. That’s why I’ve focused on a knee or a single hand, rather than a wider area. It takes practice and rebuilds to get larger areas to respond together when you put your attention on them. However, you can get them working. Below is a diagram of the responses from attending to an entire leg simultaneously. You can try to get it working if you’re interested and find that it might be useful for you. Consider this a steppingstone to the areas in the following sections that are much wider and more difficult.

==Wide-Area Responses==
Up until the full legs in the previous section, every area that you’ve learned to put your attention on has been specific. This is because the wider the area, the more difficult it is to get a response, by default. You will have to go through rebuilds to adapt to handle larger areas. You may not need to do that. However, if you do want to be able to receive responses in larger areas, you can with practice.

Responses in wide areas, such as putting your attention on your full head, your full upper body, your full lower body, or your entire body simultaneously produces the same responses that the individual areas produce. The main difference is that because so much is going on, it’s hard to differentiate or pay attention to any one specific instruction. That’s why I haven’t diagrammed those areas for you. It would take a lot of rebuilds to get used to this and get better at it, but if you really want to, improvements do appear to be possible. You can look at the previous diagrams to see what the possible response activations are in the areas that you are attending to simultaneously.

==Dual Wielding==

[[File:Sensory and motor homunculi.jpg|thumb|Sensory and motor homunculi|thumb|700px|Sensory Homunculus and Motor Homunculus sculptures at the Museum of Natural History, London, based on the cortical homunculi mapped by Dr. Wilder Penfield. Photographed by Dr. Joe Kiff.]]

Even though my abilities have expanded to attend to wide areas of my body simultaneously for receiving body communication responses, I still couldn’t attend to responses in both of my hands at the same time until very recently. It is very difficult to get working, requiring many [[rebuilds]]. Perhaps you can get it working for yourself. Perhaps not. Regardless, this difficulty to get both hands to work for responses simultaneously is likely natural. The reason that it’s so difficult to attend to body directing responses in both hands simultaneously becomes apparent when you look at sensory and motor homunculi. These homunculi are sculpted representations of the amount of neural tissue in the sensory and motor cortexes of your brain devoted to sensing and controlling each area of your body, respectively.

Look at how huge the hands are in those sculptures. That’s the amount of neural tissue devoted to your hands. Since we humans use our hands so much and in such complex ways, the human brain devotes a lot of real estate to sensations from hands and the ability to make hands move. Attention on one hand is focused. Your body can easily communicate with you through that focused attention, directing your hand. However, when your attention is spread to both hands, it can get a bit fuzzy. Additionally, that attention on receiving body communication responses in both hands simultaneously can get problematic fast. It may not respond for you at all, or it may feel a bit overwhelming. Give adapting to it a shot, if you think it may be useful for you, but be prepared for [[rebuilds]] throughout the adaptation process.

==Review==
===[[#A Handy Recap|A Handy Recap]]===
*Your hands aren’t the only areas that you can use to get information from your body. There are many situations in which another body part might be more convenient or feel more natural to use to get information from your body.
*If a sensation is confusing, it’s likely that your internal systems don’t have an answer for you yet.
*The encouragement or discouragement information you receive is the same throughout your body. You aren’t asking different parts of your body questions. The same answers will be returned in every part of your body.

===[[#Foot Responses|Foot Responses]]===
*Foot: In a positive response, the sensation will move towards your toes, encouraging you to move. In a negative response, it will move towards your heel, encouraging you to stay in place.

===[[#Facial Responses|Facial Responses]]===
*Sensations in the face all feel like a tightness or drawing of facial muscles.
*Cheek, forehead, chin, throat, lips: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action or pulled backwards if the action does not have a particular direction.
*Lips: In a positive response, if your lips are not closed, a lip quiver will likely occur.

===[[#Abdominal Responses|Abdominal Responses]]===
*Abdomen: In a positive response, the sensation will feel downward and expansive, and may extend to your mouth, neck and chest, like it wants you to pull food inside you, scarfing it down. In a negative response, the sensation will feel upward and contractive, and may extend to your mouth, neck, and chest, like it wants you to vomit.
*A negative response in your abdomen is a very weak version of the vomit reflex, so try not to use it very often, as your body will not like that

===[[#Eye Responses|Eye Responses]]===
*Eyes: In a positive response, your eyes will feel pulled towards performing the action or pulled forwards if the action does not have a particular direction. In a negative response, your eyes will feel pushed away from performing the action or pushed away to the side if the action does not have a particular direction.

===[[#Tongue Responses|Tongue Responses]]===
*Tongue: In a positive response, it will feel curved upward and pulled outwards. In a negative response, it will feel compressed backwards, and may extend to a weak gag reflex.

===[[#Arm Responses|Arm Responses]]===
*You can run queries using any part of your arm, or your whole arm.
*Arm: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action.

===[[#Other Upper Body Responses|Other Upper Body Responses]]===
*Back of head, back of your neck, shoulders, upper back, middle back: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel stiffened and compressed towards your spine, reducing mobility.
*Back of your neck: A positive response will feel tingly and pleasurable.
*Overbust, underbust, sides: Only provides directional information towards or away from your intended action.
*Bust: Responses appear to occur in other areas of the torso rather than in muscles within the bust itself. Responses can appear in your back directly behind your bust, or to the side of the bust, helping to direct where your breast is pointing.

===[[#Pelvic Responses|Pelvic Responses]]===
*Lower Back: In a positive response, it will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, it will feel pulled away from performing the action and you will get a stiffening, compression sensation around your spine.
*Hips: Only provides directional information towards or away from your intended action.
*Buttocks, groin, pelvis: In a positive response, it will feel pulled towards performing the action. In a negative response, it will feel pulled away from performing the action and you will get a clenching sensation.

===[[#Leg Responses|Leg Responses]]===
*You can run queries using any part of your leg, or your whole leg, though your whole leg may be more difficult to get working.
*Legs: In a positive response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled towards performing the action, and you will feel pulled downward behind your leg, towards bending your knee. In a negative response, the part you are focusing on will feel pulled away from performing the action, and you will feel an upward pull behind your leg, towards straightening your knee.

===[[#Wide-Area Responses|Wide-Area Responses]]===
*Wider areas are more difficult to get responses from. You will have to go through rebuilds to adapt to handle larger areas.
*Responses in wide areas produce the same responses that the smaller areas that they overlap produce.
*With so many responses occurring simultaneously thought your body, it’s hard to differentiate or pay attention to any one specific instruction.

===[[#Dual Wielding|Dual Wielding]]===
*It is very difficult to get sensations in both hands working simultaneously. It tends to require a lot of rebuilds.
*The difficulty of using both hands simultaneously (dual wielding) is likely due to the extreme amount of neural tissue devoted to feeling and moving your hands.
