Field Notes

content/somatic-brush.yaml

  • Depth and Flow Through Pressure
  • experience depth as a directional field rather than static layering

content/job-search-exercises.yaml

  • Down-regulate sympathetic overload during crash states
  • 10-15

content/depressionwhileexercising.txt

  • Depressive affect during exercise is usually multi-factor. Common mechanisms:
  • Physiological
