(1) Free full respiration and free activity of all voluntary muscles; or, for other feelings, the checking of respiration and often the lack of impulse to move at all, with no suggestion, however, in most cases, of lassitude.
(2) Chest expansion and general relief pervading the whole body. The expansion or contraction is further modified by the degree of regularity and by the rate of the movements involved, as also by the ease or difficulty in the performance. So also, in the cases of feeling whose tone exists but is doubtful in character, the bodily situation seems to mean "lack of movement or change in any definite direction." The feeling-tone and its vividness are interdependent and reported as closely connected.
(3) A cringing all over and a "holding up of all activities."
(4) Abdomen contraction, chest and shoulders drawn in, hands clenched, and jaws set.
(5) A feeling at once in different parts of the body of both process of contraction and expansion.
(6) An incipient feeling of nausea in the digestive tract.
(7) A tendency to incline the head forward or backward, or to keep it rigid, or to turn it aside.
(8) For touch, waves, reverberations, pleasant penetrating thrills in the chest and abdomen especially, less frequently in the limbs, occur. Sometimes these suggest expansion of the whole frame; sometimes, even when also pleasant, the tendency to contraction and tension is noticeable, but in these latter cases the contraction seems to be rather definitely the calling into action of those general innervated muscles which refer to the bodily situation of one when he intends to go toward the pleasantly stimulating object.
(9) For unpleasant touch the reference or localization of the bodily response is, when reported definitely at all, generally in the back, described as chills not thrills, contractions always, contractions also which often suggest shivers of withdrawal. These feelings also are referred to the situation of the trunk of the body, and are felt to originate in the small of the back, and in the back of the shoulders. For two subjects there occur twitchings in the tendons of the hips and thighs, and movements of the knee-cap.
(10) The pervasive bodily collapse, which seems to accompany feelings characterized as depressing, altogether unlike the soothing feeling of unwearied repose given by certain soft rich colors or by low deep full tones or smooth yielding surfaces, is another form of organic response which is often spoken of.
