All The Subs-...

[integral]

1. Sub-Vocalization

"saying" words in your head, affirmations, names, or mantras in your inner voice

• Internal scripting that guides thought or emotion
• Can be used to initiate states, prime beliefs, or shift identity
• Example: whispering “I am safe” internally shifts your field

2. Sub-Emotionalization

Initiating an emotion (joy, gratitude, calm, forgiveness) without an external cause

• Emotion as command, not reaction
• Can become a base signal for perception
• This is at the heart of your “Feel Good Technique”

3. Sub-Visualization

Light, pre-symbolic imaging — often non-deliberate or semi-symbolic

• Can include colors, light, shapes, memory fragments, archetypes
• Used in visualization training, dreamwork, energy healing
• More fluid than full conscious imagination

4. Sub-Experialization

Simulating an internal experience, sensation, or memory without external trigger

• Example: imagining the feeling of holding a loved one, or the felt weight of confidence
• Often a precursor to embodiment

5. Sub-Attunement

Internally “tuning into” a person, place, concept, or state

• Like adjusting an internal frequency dial to “feel into” something
• Often used in empathy, energetic sensing, and channeling states

6. Sub-Positioning

Slightly shifting the position of your inner witness or attention

• You can “look from the heart,” “think from the gut,” or “observe from above”
• Tiny shift, massive perceptual consequences

7. Sub-Intending

Holding a micro-intention or subtle desire in place, like an energetic lean

• Not forcing, just gently holding an outcome or preference
• Common in healing work, prayer, or intuition setting

8. Sub-Resonating

Feeling the energetic “hum” or “click” when something aligns with your system

• Often noticed in response to words, ideas, or people
• Trained in subtle energy work, aesthetics, or intuitive disciplines

9. Sub-Releasing

Internally relaxing or letting go of control, even within a single muscle or mental grip

• Essential in surrender practices, trauma release, meditation
• “Dropping” the need to do or control something subtly

10. Sub-Sensing

Activating a subtle sense (energetic, emotional, somatic) in the background of awareness

• Like checking in with the space around you, or the texture of a thought
• Used in martial arts, Qi Gong, intuitive scanning

11. Sub-Modulation

Adjusting the intensity, tone, or flavor of an internal state without changing its core.

• Example: turning down the emotional volume of anger while keeping the message
• Often used in trauma healing, emotion regulation, tantric containment

12. Sub-Contracting / Sub-Expanding

Slightly withdrawing or widening the field of awareness

• Can occur somatically (tension or breath), emotionally (narrow focus), or energetically (shrinking aura)
• Core practice in energy management and subtle attention dynamics

13. Sub-Permitting

Silently allowing a sensation, thought, or emotion without resisting or identifying with it

• A core micro-movement in mindfulness, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and nondual inquiry
• Creates "space" around experience

14. Sub-Titrating

Intentionally touching into an intense experience just a little bit, then pulling back

• Found in Somatic Experiencing, trauma processing, grief work
• Balances exposure and safety; builds capacity for deeper truths

15. Sub-Noticing / Micro-Tracking

Sharpening the resolution of what’s already subtly known

• Example: “Ah, that sensation behind my eyes has a slight spiraling movement…”
• Forms the basis of intuitive refinement, high-resolution somatic sensing, and psychic development

16. Sub-Seeding / Pre-Intending

Quietly planting a question, intention, or request into your awareness and then releasing it

• Common in dream incubation, mystical prayer, or oracular techniques
• Example: “Show me what I need to know” (then letting it go)

17. Sub-Tuning

Matching your internal frequency with something external or internal (a place, person, mood, archetype)

• Like tuning a radio to align with a subtle broadcast
• Found in energy work, empathic practices, shamanic merging

18. Sub-Reframing

Silently adjusting the context or meaning-frame of what you're experiencing

• Not full cognitive reframing — more of a shift in emotional or energetic narrative
• Example: A tight chest becomes “expansion trying to happen”

19. Sub-Feeling

Feeling into the potential of something — not a full-blown emotion, but a flavor or emotional hint

• Common in decision-making, inner visioning, symbolic reading
• “What would it feel like if this were true?”

20. Sub-Disidentifying

Loosening the grip of identification with thought, sensation, emotion, or story

• Often felt as “witnessing from behind,” stepping back
• Essential in ego work, meditative self-inquiry, and lucid dream states

21. Sub-Modeling

Building and interacting with abstract, often non-verbal structures in mind

• Think of this as “doing math without language” or “rearranging logic blocks”
• It’s how you feel the weight of a system or simulate a move without narrating it

22. Sub-Projective Awareness

Projecting attention into external space to “think through the environment” (in this case, the chess board)

• Your cognition is outside your head, in the field of play
• You’re extending your consciousness spatially

23. Sub-Spatial Relational Mapping

Tracking where things are in relation to each other and sensing potential configurations

• You’re aware of the tension between spaces, like a body sensing balance and pressure

24. Sub-Embodied Intuition

Letting the body–mind process data through felt “rightness” or flow without symbolic overlay

• You just “know” that a move is good without words or visuals — your internal somatic/energetic field has processed it

25. Sub-Flow Tracking

• Feeling momentum and unfolding logic without discrete thoughts or images — like surfing an inner wave of pattern

 

🧭 How to Work with These

You can train these through:

• Meditative micro-practice (tracking subtle shifts)
• Inner journaling (writing about what shifts what)
• Somatic awareness training (naming and noticing body signals)
• Energy work (Qi Gong, Reiki, etc.)
• Voice or sound-based tuning (vowel toning, humming)

 

🧠 Applications

These subtle operations are at the core of many deep states and disciplines, including:

• Inner alchemy (Taoist)
• Tantric visualization
• Hypnosis and NLP
• Energy psychology
• Mystical prayer
• Somatic psychotherapy
• Manifestation work
• State design and metacognition

They also underlie how you do:

• Affirmation
• Intention-setting
• Meditation
• Emotional regulation
• Self-healing
• Spiritual transmission

 

🌌 Meta-Layer: Composability

All of these can be combined to create inner "chords" or rituals:

• Sub-vocalize “thank you” + sub-emotionalize gratitude + sub-attune to heart field = Instant joy
• Sub-permit discomfort + sub-titrate sensation + sub-reframe narrative = Trauma integration
