I preferred eating healthier foods, when convenient. Getting somewhere with quality food, however, was difficult at best. 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 complaining 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.

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. | I couldn’t control the muscle manually, but I could trigger it with my attention on meat and the abdominal muscle.

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. | No one knows what can be accomplished when a person works with their body in all its capacities.
