Some anecdotal evidence: When first reading this sequence, and focusing on the ‘Base-Line’, this did seem to increase my bodily perception more strongly than I expected (my reference were results from focusing on my breath), which made me decide to apply the idea of the Base-Line for a few days:
For years, when listening to talks that need a lot of concentration, I had the problem of becoming sleepy and I have found no working solution to this problem. Today, while in such a situation, I remembered this sequence and shifted some of my focus to my Base-Line, which actually was helpful in getting rid of my sleepiness.
If I assume this to be repeatable in the future, this makes me suspect that at least some level of conscious bodily perception is needed for staying alert/awake and that me focusing strongly makes me sink below this level.
This makes me look forward to exploring the idea of ‘conscious proprioception is very valuable’ further
I suspect focusing on your Base-Line muscles ‘corrected’ your positioning (~ reduced stress on body) and made you breathe in a bit deeper—thus receiving a hit of oxygen that increased your alertness.
I’m really happy though—anecdotal evidence is what I need at this point. Everything stems from being willing to work on your Base-Line.It’s well worth the ride. I have created “main muscles made easy” in an attempt to make the key anatomy more accessible.
conscious bodily perception
I have no idea why the word “perception” has not occurred to me before, but that’s it. Increased perception of the state of your body (that comes with the brain and body having a shared Base-Line reference).

Thank you for reading and trying.
