SOM.2:4.2 - Locate what is distinguishable

Ask where the change is experienced, in which direction and how it develops. The answer can initially be a broad region, a gesture or “no reliable difference.” Bodily landmarks help recover a location without asserting which tissue produced the experience.

Use a coarser contrast or different suitable support when the distinction is unavailable. Do not require the performer to report the teacher’s expected sensation. Refine the region only when the next action needs that resolution.

An effort that is outside attention and an effort that is involuntary are different matters. Exploring a previously unnoticed change may make it reportable without making it controllable.
