Frequently Asked Questions

Why does "standing up" feel different after a period of strain?

This is Upright Recovery. After high strain, your "structural front" has been compromised. Standing up is a re-assertion of your Structural Integrity. Naming this feeling helps you stay "contiguous". You are observing how your body "re-stacks" itself after being "bent" by effort. This is a moment of "Self-Recalibration," where you verify that you are still "awake and upright" despite the cost of the exertion.

Should I push through the "shaky" feeling of standing?

No. Move with "Low Velocity." In the Meaning Density Model™, shakiness is a "safety signal" that your integration capacity is low. Move slowly and stay close to your "base." By allowing your "uprightness" to be "mild" rather than "strong," you respect your system's current state. This "gentle recovery" actually speeds up the return to full strength by preventing secondary stress-triggers.
