The "pull" is the internal tension created by the Reward & Pursuit system reacting to external triggers. When this pull is absent, you experience "Non-Demand." It feels like a lightness in the chest and a softening of the jaw. In this state, your body is no longer "leaning into the future." You are simply here. This absence of pull is the structural requirement for true, unconditioned rest.
You can tell by your "checking" behaviors. If you can walk past your phone or an unfinished task without a "hitch" in your breath or a mental "tug," the pull has eased. In the body, this feels like your weight is fully supported by the ground rather than being held up by your own tension. It is a state of deep biological trust where the environment is no longer seen as a series of demands.
