The four core drills in Training 6 are enough to continue.
These additional drills give you more ways to explore Position, Attention, Input and Response as the Response continues, changes, quietens or returns.
You don’t need to complete them all.
Choose the drill that addresses what you want to understand.
Allow a recognisable Response to develop.
When it reaches a quieter point or seems to fade, notice the urge to begin again.
You may want to increase Input, recreate the previous rhythm or try to bring the stronger sensation back.
Instead, remain with what is happening now.
There may still be warmth.
Movement.
Pressure.
A faint pulse.
Or very little at all.
Give the Response time to show you whether the quieter period is actually an ending.
Another wave may emerge.
The sensation may change form.
Or nothing further may happen.
A trough does not automatically mean the Response has finished.
Use a familiar Position and the same general approach that has previously produced a clear Response.
Then observe what happens without expecting the same result.
One session might produce strong waves.
Another might move through:
Wave → quiet → warmth → pulse → wave.
Another may remain subtle throughout.
Avoid treating those differences as evidence that something has gone wrong.
Your task is simply to remain with the Response you have.
Continuity does not require the experience to repeat itself.
Allow a Response to become established.
Once it feels reasonably stable, gradually reduce deliberate Input.
Don’t withdraw everything suddenly.
Simply do a little less and observe what continues.
Perhaps the rhythm continues.
Perhaps a contraction appears without your help.
Perhaps the sensation remains but changes character.
Perhaps the Response fades.
You are not testing whether you can sustain everything indefinitely without contributing.
You are discovering how much of the continuing Response belongs to the body itself.
Notice what continues when you stop carrying it.
Stay with a developing Response long enough to notice it change state.
It might move from strong to subtle.
From rhythmic to diffuse.
From movement to warmth.
From a wave into quiet and then back into movement.
Try not to decide that one state is the correct one.
Keep Attention with what is actually happening.
Let Input change only when there is a reason for it to change.
The experience does not have to remain constant to remain continuous.
Learn to recognise continuity through change.
Begin with a Response that already feels established.
Then make one small change to Position.
You might slightly extend the legs, alter their spacing, change pelvic support or make another gentle adjustment that feels natural.
Don’t make several changes together.
Give the body time to respond to the new Position.
Does the Response continue?
Does it spread?
Does its rhythm change?
Does it weaken and then return?
Or does the adjustment clearly disrupt it?
Return to the original Position if you need to.
Discover which movements the Response can absorb without losing continuity.
Allow a sustained Response to develop.
Then introduce one brief sensory change.
Keep it small and temporary.
After a few moments, remove it and return to simply observing the Response.
The additional sensation might intensify what is happening.
It might alter the rhythm.
It might briefly disrupt it.
Or the Response may continue almost unchanged.
The important part is what happens after the additional Input ends.
Does the body continue?
Does something new emerge?
Does the Response settle back into its previous pattern?
Experiment briefly. Then give the Response back to the body.
You don’t need to complete every drill.
Return to the exercises that help you understand continuity, change, autonomy and recovery, and leave the others alone.
Over time, Sustain should require less effort to preserve a particular experience and greater confidence in staying with the Response as it changes.
Stay with what continues. Let it change. See what the body does next.
