Research vocabulary

Research vocabulary — expand when needed

Background terms used by the explanatory models. Their presence does not establish a product effect.

Term	Meaning and connection
Biofeedback	Learning from information about bodily processes. Sources include instruments and inward attention; current EB requires no electronic monitor.
Bohr Effect	Increased CO2 and lower pH reduce hemoglobin's oxygen affinity, facilitating oxygen release. The source's further breathing-to-healing chain is a proposed application.
Central Nervous System / CNS	Brain and spinal cord. “Traffic” is the source's sensory/cognitive-demand model, not a measured spare-energy budget.
Gamma motor neurons / fusimotor drive	Motor activity adjusting muscle-spindle sensitivity; no LS-specific gamma-drive effect is established.
Muscle spindle / intrafusal fibers	A stretch-sensing structure and its specialized muscle fibers.
Stretch reflex	A reflex response associated with muscle stretch; distinct from the felt Stretch Impulse.
Reciprocal inhibition	Inhibitory coordination between muscles with opposing actions.
Anterior insula / AIC	A region in the source model of bodily awareness, feeling, and motivation.
Lamina I	A spinal dorsal-horn layer in the source account of ascending bodily signals.
Vagus nerve / vagal afferents	The nerve and incoming sensory pathways in body-to-brain accounts.
Parasympathetic Nervous System	Autonomic division associated with rest-and-digest functions. Activation by the breathing practice is a source hypothesis.
Phosphatidylcholine	A particular phospholipid; lecithin is a mixture and the public ingredient word.
Mixed micelles	Molecular assemblies involved in intestinal handling of fat-soluble material.
Liposome / liposomes / liposomal	Lipid-bilayer-bounded vesicle; adding lecithin alone does not establish a liposomal product.
Chylomicrons	Lipoprotein particles transporting absorbed dietary lipids.
Blood–brain barrier / BBB	Regulated blood-to-brain interface; fat affinity alone does not establish target exposure.
logP / lipophilic	Oil/water partitioning and lipid affinity, respectively; neither directly measures oral bioavailability.
MCT / LCT / coconut oil carrier	Medium-chain and long-chain triglycerides, plus a source-named carrier. Coconut oil is not identical to every MCT formulation; timing belongs to the Glide Path model.
Entourage Effect	Proposed combined contribution of plant constituents. Earlier glossaries include cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids and claim therapeutic synergy; current infusion language uses cannabinoids and terpenes. LS synergy remains unestablished.
CB1 / CB2	Cannabinoid receptor names.
Anandamide	An endogenous cannabinoid signaling molecule, not an asserted LS ingredient.
5-HT1A / TRPV1 / FAAH	A serotonin receptor, an ion channel, and a fatty-acid-amide-metabolizing enzyme, respectively; distinct research targets.
Glandular trichomes	Plant glands discussed in the cannabis-constituent account.
Visual cortex	Cortical regions involved in vision; activity can continue with eyes closed.
4:6 breathing / 4-in / 6-out	Earlier timed-breathing language, not a current Savoring Inhalation requirement.
Cold-sympathetic reflex	Source shorthand for sympathetic responses to thermal stress; the No Drafts healing chain remains hypothetical.
Dopaminergic reward circuit	Vocabulary connecting dopamine with reward, including music research.

Earlier glossary meanings

Earlier meanings and aliases — expand when needed

Preserved source variants and fragments. They explain provenance and possible reuse; they are not current formulations, instructions, approved names, or established outcomes.

Source term	Meaning preserved and current relationship
Enhanced Biofeedback — earlier definitions	Earlier variants joined Stretch (cannabinoids, terpenes, lipids), mindful relaxation, and targeted stretching for emotional/physical trauma; or interoception, organic compounds, and sensory management as an alternative to hallucinogens. A later synthesis adds breath/stretch as instruments, homeostasis/reset, pain reduction, and emotional relief. These are source models and claims; current EB names the ongoing inward process.
Follow That Feeling — earlier emphasis	Staying with a useful stretch and bodily cues; later examples use a sigh of relief as a reason to linger. The practical meaning is responsive exploration.
Follow, Don't Lead / Follow, Don’t Lead	An observant rather than forceful role. Source explanations invoke innate healing intelligence and deeper healing; the current guidance retains responsiveness without treating sensation as infallible.
Clear — earlier scope	Readiness of mind, body, and environment: distractions, temperature, basic needs, and attention. CNS effectiveness and a safe space for healing are source explanations.
Furniture is Your Friend	Beds, dressers, chairs, and walls as support, resistance, or leverage. Accessibility is the concept; claimed alignment/flexibility benefits and safe use require movement-specific review.
Healing	Improvement in current baseline health compared with an earlier baseline. Later synthesis includes regained ease/function and gradual improvement, illustrated by longer stretching, changed emotional responses, and less perceived pain. This broad meaning is distinct from proof of tissue repair.
Micro Movements / Micro-Movements	Fine adjustments through a tilt, foot repositioning, or oscillation. Older alignment, tension-release, benefit, and overstretch-prevention claims remain separate from the basic mechanics.
Minimizing CNS Traffic	Reducing competing sensory input, internal chatter, and cognitive demands to make regulation/recovery easier; later expressed as defensive-to-restorative change. This is a proposed model, not measured spare CNS capacity.
No Drafts	Avoiding moving cold air for comfort. Older explanations attribute CNS stability and freed healing attention to reduced thermoregulation demands; that chain is unverified.
Only You Can Know Your Optimal Dose	Individual response observation, with Start Low & Go Slow language. Historical examples name 5 mg THC, later 7.5 or 10 mg, 60–90-minute onset, and about four hours' duration. Archived wording only—not current dosing or redosing instructions.
Mini-Dose Option	An earlier “few drops” familiarization idea. Product concentration and measurement are needed to define a dose; no present serving recommendation is established.
Savor Inhalation / Savoring Breath	Earlier calm, present-awareness, respiratory-efficiency, and bodily-rhythm explanations; later CO2 → Bohr Effect → oxygen-delivery → healing language. Current Savoring Inhalation is only the scent-paced nasal inhale.
Sensory deprivation / sensory reduction	Reducing sensory input. Current Sensory Management also selects helpful input such as music. Replicating psychedelic benefits without risks was a historical ambition, not an established result.
Hallucinogens	Source grouping of psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, and ayahuasca, discussing PTSD/depression applications and risks and positioning EB as an alternative. This is not a precise common drug classification or a comparative safety finding.
Psychotropic Experience	A drug-associated change in mind, emotion, or behavior. The old exclusion “does not induce hallucinations” is not adopted as a general definition or THC safety claim.
Psychedelic Experience	An altered state involving perception, mood, and cognition; distinct from shared setting choices.
Stretch / Stretch (Product)	A product name, not the action of stretching. Earlier claims concern THC-associated urge, relaxation, reduced chatter, and healing engagement. A later generated glossary names Puralief and a 1:2 THC:CBD blend with terpenes and lecithin, plus absorption/pleasure claims. These are source variants, not the current LS formula or verified effects.
Pure Relief	A later glossary's 1:1 THC:CBD whole-plant companion to Stretch, conceived as gentler or a step-down, contrasting lighter/daily use with deeper sessions. CBD mitigation and effects are source claims; the name is not an LS alias.
Nootrias	A historical development identity associated with compounds for PTSD/back pain. Safety/effectiveness assertions record ambition, not validation.
Somatic / so·mat·ic	A word in a placeholder glossary with no developed definition.

| Hang 4 | A named movement using elbow-and-knee weight redistribution. The source explicitly warns of joint/muscle injury; the name does not supply a safe instruction. | | Tea Ceremony | Six-part preparation: Sweep the Studio Floor; Get barefoot; Get clean; Clean the studio; Clean the body; Clean the mind. Related preparation lineage, not the Relief Recipe. | | Savor It / Sipping Air | Savor It is an earlier feeling-good/pinene fragment; Sipping Air is a separate preparation cue. Neither is established as an alias or instruction for current Savoring Inhalation. | | Intuition / body's intuition | A source asks whether intuition differs from the biofeedback loop; later wording invokes body's intuition. Their exact relationship remains a meaning question. | | Touching God / God's touch | Spiritual and near-psychedelic experience language present in artwork and narrative. A theme of subjective experience, not a promised effect or synonym automatically assigned to The One. | | Smoking comparison / cleaner plateau | Earlier experience-model language contrasts a sustained curve with smoking and links the window to healing. Retained as an attributed comparison, not comparative safety or efficacy evidence. | | Cerebral XO / Vercene / Tea & Para-Sympathy | Beverage-compatible morning supplement/transport concept; Vercene names the terpene/monoterpene blend within it. Separates a blend from its delivery vehicle and raises carrier, extraction, and minimum-effective-dose questions. Tea & Para-Sympathy was proposed research. | | Morning Jane | Coffee/cannabis-oil concept joining chocolate, turmeric, water, lecithin, collagen, and named terpenes with whole-plant/slow-cook language. One variant adds a 10 mg time-release claim: a useful example of why formulation versions cannot be merged silently. | | Merry Juice | A two-ounce cannabinoid/coconut-oil tincture family with inconsistent formulas/offers and two distinct same-day COAs. A shared name cannot substitute for sample, batch, serving, label, or laboratory identity. | | Rest / Zoned Sleep / NoWifi.Rest | Adjacent service concept: treat sleeping areas separately while preserving essential router/security functions. Reusable ideas include fit assessment, human outcome before mechanism, readable onboarding/support, and measure → reduce → verify. Sleep Zones and One-Tap Modes are proposed features; all-off was custom/advanced/not-fit. RF and health effects remain unverified. | | RSE tea / Feel Healed / Feel Comfort | Distinct product records plus an unchecked tea composite associated with Feel Comfort, not its package serving or Relief Recipe. Ingredients survive without settled quantities; THC and THC9 fields, database/package directions, composite, and COA must remain distinct. No LS or Pure Relief equivalence is established. | | Whole One | A production-planning outline: acquisition, storage, testing, preparation status, waste handling, phases, and breaks. Its reusable contribution is explicit production states and evidence checkpoints, not a certified SOP or completed batch. |
