This checklist relates to my current desire to control my depth of breathing, consistency of depth of breath, and to practice keeping my voice at a deeper tone, which I discovered is more natural to me, despite earlier experience since I was a teen.

Voice > Breathing > Chimpanzee Torso/limbs > Heavy Legs > Vacant Face (Dead or Sleep) > Talk through a topic of interest.

Volume Match > Sing to self > Dance

Focus attention onto current project. E.g. Just now it was useful to transition to your thinking about the TIF file reduction.

False join in.

- Vibrate your chest with your voice.
  - “Mattanaw, Mattanaw….” said in a very low tone, with slow bass vibrations.
  - “With, Withhhhhhhh…” also my own name, but allows for an even lower bass vibration.
- No catches along the way, smooth voice.
  - I noticed my higher pitched voice had tension somewhere in my upper respiratory tract, to create the pitch. Hard to detect.
  - When my voice shifts to higher pitch involuntarily out of habit, it feels like it “catchs” or somewhat “pinches” and closes the tract.
  - Speak “Low and Slowwwwww….” again and again, ensuring depth of voice, and smoothness along the respiratory tract, with no sense of “catches” or friction. This goal is less friction.
- Totally expanded stomach, like a child forcing a “pregnant stomach”.
  - Your stomach is totally out, so there is limited compression. Force is outward and not inward.
  - “Low and slowww…..”
  - “Mattanaw, Mattanaw….”
  - “With, With…..”
  - All without removing the outward force the the stomach which is not related to breathing.
- Full deep breaths with stomach out.
  - No part of your lung feels obviously constricted or nonfunctioning.
  - Your lower left lung, especially, feel expanded.
  - A good sign is a burp.
- Vibrate your lower left and right chest with animal grunts.
  - Breathe outward and use a non-abrupt, smooth grunt, like an ox you’ve seen in a video online.
  - Use that same smooth grunt and combine it with a normal chest “hack” sound, that is smooth, for removing mucus.
  - Ensure you can vibrate the lower left and right of your chest, and
  - that some mucus is ejected.
  - A good sign is you can vibrate your chest in a way that is pleasant and tickles.
  - Another good sign is if it feels like there is no mucus inside after.
  - have fun, and feel like you are another primate that would have chest out doing the same.
  - stomach and lower chest should also be completely pressed outwards.
- Ask yourself if you had plain water to drink.
  - If not, drink at least 16 ounces of cool water (or whatever plain water you enjoy).
- Do your limbs feel as though they are heavy and dangling? _ Check your shoulders
  - Your arms, hands
  - Your legs, body (if in a chair),
  - Feet.
  - Good signs: You can fall through the chair and surfaces,
  - You feel like you can imitate a chimpanzee, in how they use their arms and how they sit.
  - (Resting chimpanzees look somwhat like a downward force is on them).

Mattanaw I., formerly "Christopher Matthew Cavanaugh"

I am a retired executive, software architect, and consultant, with professional/academic experience in the fields of Moral Philosophy and Ethics, Computer Science, Psychology, Philosophy, and more recently, Economics. I am a Pandisciplinarian, and Lifetime Member of the High Intelligence Community.

Articles on this site are eclectic, and draw from content prepared between 1980 and 2024. Topics touch on all of life's categories, and blend them with logical rationality and my own particular system of ethics. The common theme connecting all articles is moral philosophy, even if that is not immediately apparent. Any of my articles that touch on "the good and virtuous life" will be published here. These articles interrelate with my incipient theory of ethics, two decades in preparation. This Book and Journal is the gradual unfolding of that ethic, and my living autobiography, in a collection of individual books that fit into groups of book collections.

This Book and Journal is already one of the largest private websites and writings ever prepared, at nearly 1 million words, greater than 50,000 images and videos, and nearly one terabyte of space utilized. The entire software architecture is of my creation. Issues of the book for sale can be found under featured. These texts are handmade by myself, and are of excellent quality, and constitute the normal issues of my journal that can also be subscribed to. The entire work is a transparent work in progress. Not all is complete, and it will remain in an incomplete state until death.

I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback and conversation with readers.
