I came across a mode in another technique that is called the "body
awareness" mode. The stated purpose is to make the body aware of
things that it has purposefully "forgotten." (A type of adaptation
or survival?) It seems to bring things that the body has "put on the
back burner" to the front so that they can be dealt with. It is
formed by wrapping the 4 fingers over the thumb, so that the thumb is
tucked inside the fist.

I have been experimenting with it for some time and this is what I
have found so far:

1) I can treat a patient until saturated and then use the body
awareness mode and new things will come up.

2) I can treat an endpoint until nothing else shows up and then use
the body awareness mode and new things will come up.

3) If I examine the patient first without the body awareness mode
and then go back and re-examine the patient by first locking in the
body awareness mode, the priorities, endpoints, and causal chains
seem to be completely different.

From what I can tell, it seems to be a type of high gain and it seems
to find problems that do not come up with regular processing. I do
not know if what it finds is more pertinent or more helpful, but it
is definitely different.

If anyone has any experience with the body awareness mode, I would
love to hear your experiences. If not, would some of you try it on
some patients and report back on your experience and results? I have
wondered if this might not be a mode that will take us to a deeper
level of dysfunction, and if so, it might take us closer to root
problems and in the process decrease our processing time and
hopefully correct more surface level problems automatically as the
deeper problems are dealt with. (Or it could just be a mode that
means "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" to the body..LOL.)

Anyone that takes the time to experiment with it, please report back
your findings.
