About the focusing, yeah, I was doing the Wim Hoff method and one point and the way he does stretching by holding his breath and concentrating fully and whatever is being stretched, the relax & repeats worked very well for me - better than doing intentional contractions even. Its like the intense focus itself works out the tension. And breathing into the part, which I suspect helps by increasing one's awareness of the body part. Then there's Feldenkrais that I have tried just a couple times at home: you essentially practice selected short motions by moving your body very slowly and without tension, and by concentrating on feeling the body and how it works. According to them, you'll "map" these parts of your body in your mind by doing so, quickly learn to do the motions more effectively. Seems to work. The body part, e.g. a leg will also feel more "solid" and heavy once you have practiced with. Which brings me to Tai Chi that I also tried a couple times, where you again move very slowly with intention, and you end up feeling more in control of your body. So is Chi work "just" about directing the brain, or is the latter actually the former, or are they the same, or mixed, and does it matter? If Chi work can be done to another person, then can affect another by focusing your brain on them? Can subs help us to unconsciously direct that stream of [attention] to where it's needed to heal/perform/learn, as with your eye? Sounds like having 1.5 conscious minds. Shannon talks about energy sourcing, so that'd seem to imply the attention directs an energy flow of some kind. Which makes me wonder, if I'm angry, then do I arouse my self with chemicals and thus feel more awake, or do I project [energy] more intensely and by doing that feel like I am more intense (as an energy source).
And of course mentally also, I find focusing on tension-like artifacts helps to process them.
Shiiit, I should be at work already!
