Stress response

Stressful event happens
1. Calf muscles tighten; breath is steady; mind is clear
2. Lower back twitches, Calf muscles tighten; breath is steady; mind is clear
3. Lower back twitches, Calf muscles tighten; breath starts to waver; mind pensive
4. Lower back twitches, Calf muscles tighten; breath deserts completely; mind agitated
5. Nadi sodana fails; hamstring join calves and lower back in indicating stress

Apply will - slowly read Talks with Sri Ramana Maharishi 10 pages
6. Stillness rediscovered; breath returns to an extent; no signals from body
7. Nadi sodana + ujjayi again; breath deepens; stress signals soften in body
8. Mind clear; breath steady and deep; urdhava prasrta padasana, jatara parivrtti
9. Mind, breath, body in harmony

Being ready to face stressful event!
