Additions  and  Changes  to  
BodyTalk  Fundamentals  9th  Edition  
 
 
 
PG  48:  Short  and  Long-­‐Distance  Work  
In  order  to  most  effectively  work  with  animals  with  BodyTalk  it  is  necessary  to  take  
BodyTalk  for  Animals  and  BodyTalk  Access  for  Animals.  It  is  important  to  understand  that  
there  are  many  nuances  to  working  with  animals  that  are  different  to  working  with  people.  
 
PG  119:  Hydration  Summary  
Not  necessary  to  place  the  damp  cotton  swab  on  the  navel  before  asking  Further  More  
Specific  to  find  out  what  exactly  needs  to  be  hydrated.  
 
PG  167:  Body  Chemistry  -­‐  Microbes    
It  is  interesting  to  be  aware  that:  At  present  it  is  estimated  that  there  are  100  trillion  
microbes  in  the  body  of  which  only  about  5-­‐10%  are  pathogenic/harmful.  The  pathogenic  
microbes  are  the  ones  we  are  focusing  on  in  BodyTalk  Fundamentals  the  Body  Chemistry  
technique.  
 
PG  170:  Body  Chemistry    
For  Allergies,  Intolerances  and  Toxins,  you  can  facilitate  finding  the  factor  by  asking:  
• How  they  are  coming  in  contact  with  it.  Is  it  being  Inhaled  (coming  in  through  the  
lungs),  Ingested  (coming  in  through  the  mouth),  Skin  Contact  (coming  in  contact  
with  the  skin),  
• or  Injected  (breaking  the  skin  barrier  like,  bug  bites,  actual  injections,  etc.)  
• Where  they  are  coming  in  contact  with  it.  
• What  is  it  (A  good  way  to  break  this  down  is  to  start  by  asking  if  it  is  man  made  or  a  
natural  substance).  
 
PG  188  –  189:  Active  Memory  Technique  #3,  #4  
Surfacing  and  disassociating  happens  in  both  clockwise  and  anti-­‐clockwise  directions.  
 
PG  205:  Brain  Summary  
It  is  not  necessary  to  ask  Triune  Brain  when  looking  for  Further  More  Specifics.  (Triune  
Brain  is  just  a  categorical  way  of  looking  at  the  brain  and  not  necessary  to  ask).  Further  
More  Specific  may  take  you  to  a  location  on  or  an  anatomical  structure  within  one  of  the  
areas  of  the  brain.  
 
   
PG  231:  Meridian  Summary  
Although  in  the  Fundamentals  we  focus  more  on  doing  all  12,  in  the  summary  it  does  
mention  for  Further  More  Specific  you  can  go  to  the  Appendix  for  the  Advanced  Meridian  
Technique  (PG  315)  
 

 
 
PG  249:  Vivaxis  
Another  Alternative  Muscle  Testing  Position  added.  
 

 
 
PG  258:  Cellular  Repair  
We  are  breaking  up  the  steps  into  sections,  which  may  make  them  easier  to  memorize.  
Preparation  Steps  (1-­‐4),  Repair  Steps  (5a-­‐5b),  Closing  Steps  (6-­‐9)  
 
We  are  no  longer  advocating  asking  for  any  kind  of  label  such  as  cancer,  arthritis  etc.  
Preparation  Steps  (1-­‐4)  
1. Find  the  focus  for  the  cellular  repair.  
Use  the  categories  of  vaccines,  acquired  or  inherited  conditions  to  establish  what  is  
to  be  balanced.  If  the  condition  is  acquired  or  inherited,  establish  and  organ,  
endocrine  or  body  part  that  is  the  priority  for  repair.  Write  “DNA/RNA”  plus  the  
area  to  be  repaired  on  a  sticky  note  and  place  it  on  the  navel(or  thymus  if  the  navel  
is  unavailable).  
 
 
PG  259:  Cellular  Repair  
(The  masseter  muscles  are  found  on  the  jaw  behind  the  teeth.  When  looking  for  the  tender  
points  tell  the  client  to  let  you  know  when  you  have  found  a  tender  point  then  release  the  
pressure  but  still  maintain  light  contact  over  the  point.    Find  the  tender  points  in  one  side  at  
a  time.  It  is  important  to  not  overly  stimulate  the  tender  points  as  it  may  aggravate  any  TMJ  
issues  or  create  soreness  in  the  masseters.  You  can  contact  the  masseters  with  one  hand  if  
your  hand  is  large  enough,  but  may  be  best  to  use  both  hands.  Make  sure  your  hand  does  
not  cover  any  part  of  the  client’s  mouth  as  this  is  often  felt  to  be  energetically  invasive.)  
 
PG  275:  Lymph,  Circulation/Nerve  Supply    
We  are  asking  for  the  to,  from  and  within  as  the  2nd  step  so  that  it  creates  a  clearly  
understandable  phrase  like,  blood  to  the  liver  instead  of  blood,  liver  to.  
 
Technique  
There  are  three  pieces  of  information  that  need  to  be  collected  for  this  technique:  
1. Establish  whether  you  need  to  address  blood,  nerve  or  lymph  circulation.  This  will  
determine  which  master  organ  the  client  will  touch:  the  heart,  brain  or  spleen,  
respectively.  
2. Establish  whether  the  priority  is  to,  from,  and/or  within(lymph  circulation  has  only  
from  and/or  within).  
3. Establish  which  Organ,  Endocrine  or  Body  Part  has  the  issue.  
 
PG  286:  Reciprocals  Head  to  Body  
We  reordered  the  2nd  group  in  a  more  linear  fashion  so  that  it  is  easier  for  students  to  
remember.  
  8.  Eye  –  Nipple  
  9.  Zygoma  –  Pubic  crest  
  10.  Vomer  –  Xiphoid  
  11.  Mouth  –  Navel

Test Your Knowledge - Answers
Chapter 1 (Page 31)
1. Name and describe the scientific models which can be used to
explain how BodyTalk works.
Dynamics systems model: the body is viewed not as independent parts,
but as systems that interact with each other and are dependent on each
other for their own functioning. (Page 26)
Quantum physics and the holographic model postulate that when
the smallest “particles” of matter are broken down, there exist only vast
amounts of space filled with possibilities and probabilities suggesting
that particles are merely concepts. (Page 27)
2. What is meant by “Consciousness is applied quantum physics?”
Research has demonstrated that when the smallest “particles” of matter
are broken down even further, there exist only vast amounts of space
filled with possibilities and probabilities suggesting that particles are
merely concepts. The bodymind is therefore an interrelated web of
concepts... “No theory of reality compatible with quantum theory can
require spatially separated events to be separate.” In other words, each
and every electron must know exactly what every other electron in the
universe is doing in order to know what it, itself, has to do at any given
moment. Therefore, all distant events are constantly interconnected and
interdependent – all is one. It follows that, when something shifts all other
elements making up the web of reality must respond and also shift... It
follows that the body, with its own innate wisdom/consciousness and
connection to a much larger universal web, is constantly “in touch” with
and responding to the wisdom of “all that is”, or universal consciousness.
The most startling conclusion that quantum physics has come up with
so far is that consciousness, or the act of observing, affects the outcome
of any research study – what is observed, exists. Or, in other words,
consciousness is required to collapse all the waves of possibilities and
probabilities that exist into one form: consciousness creates reality. …
universal consciousness… is the ground substance for all of reality. …
The topic of consciousness has, up until now, been considered the realm
of philosophy. However, with new understanding coming from the field
of quantum physics, consciousness is being redefined as applied quantum
physics. The two fields of study are not really separate. (Page 27-30)
3. Name and describe the five different levels of body.
(1) The physical body is the most obvious and concrete. The focus is
on symptoms and decreasing or eliminating them. (2) The vital body
is more or less the phantom, template form of the body. It is based on
subtle energies and so the modalities based on energy medicine, such as
acupuncture and homeopathy, will have good results with any imbalances
on this level. (3) The mental body consists of the egoic mind and the
belief systems, attitudes, thoughts, and emotions that are created by
that mind. Advanced psychotherapeutic approaches, such as Jungian
psychotherapy, which are focused on making changes at this mental
level. (4) The supramental body is defined by the intuitive, higher
aspect of consciousness. (5) The Bliss body, here there is no need for any
modalities. This is where spontaneous healing on all levels takes place.
This is a rare situation as that individual would be operating from a fully
enlightened state of consciousness. (Page 29)
Chapter 2 (Page 39)
1. Describe what is meant by the term “innate wisdom”.
Localized consciousness is what animates all parts of the bodymind, right
down to the cellular level. It “knows” what is going on at all levels since
it is present from the beginning as the innate wisdom. Its operation is
obvious on a day-to-day basis in the homeostatic processes of the body
that keep everything within optimum levels for all cells to function at
their peak. Its operation is also obvious as the built-in mechanism that
initiates the healing process. When we cut ourselves, the in-born wisdom
or knowledge of what has to occur brings the proper cells to the area,
which release the necessary products to quickly seal the cut and then
heal the wound, all in the proper sequencing and at all levels – physical,
emotional, and mental. The body’s innate wisdom is responsible for all
parts of the bodymind working in synchronicity. (Page 35)
2. True or False? The BodyTalk practitioner is asking the innate
wisdom of the client what is needed to re-establish a healthier balance.
False. The localized consciousness in the bodyminds of each person
involved in a session is drawn upon slightly differently. BodyTalk
practitioners use one aspect of their innate wisdom (the interface
of left and right brain) to collect information about breakdowns in
communication within the client’s bodymind complex. We then rely on
the innate wisdom of the client’s own body to bring about the healing
changes. (Page 36)
3. Being in the zone that we speak of in BodyTalk refers to?
Working in the zone refers to the experience that comes about when the
practitioner’s left and right brain functions infuse one another in a way
that allows for lateral or “outside of the box” type thinking. (Page 37)
 Appendices 323

Chapter 3 (Page 59)

1. True or False? The Yes/No responses used in BodyTalk can be 6. In BodyTalk, why do we ask for the priority rather than the
influenced by the client. problem?

False. Once you understand that you are really asking your own “innate”
the questions, and that it is your innate that is tuning into the innate
wisdom of the client, then you realize that it is your own muscle system
that is moving the client’s arm appropriately even though it might feel as
if it is the client’s arm that is or is not moving. Now the client can fully
relax without having to do anything and can even be asleep, unconscious
or in a coma. (Page 45)
2. True or False? When using a surrogate during a session, the client
must be conscious.
False. Although we can work with anyone who is lying still for us whether
they are awake, asleep, or unconscious, there are occasions when getting
the Yes/No responses is still a challenge. In these cases, the practitioner
can use the arm of another person as a surrogate. Remember that this is
just a prop to allow your right brain to perform its function and bring
information to the attention of the left brain. (Page 47:)
3. True or False? The BodyTalk practitioner can perform BodyTalk
long-distance sessions any time he/she wants to.
Since the BodyTalk practitioner is aware of the importance of revealing
the most advantageous sequencing of the issues in the bodymind, there
needs to be a constant awareness that all questions are directed towards
finding the “priority” that needs balancing which is very different from
looking for “problems.” In the average person, most parts of their body
have a problem to some degree, so if we asked the question “Does this
organ have a problem?” we would intuitively get a Yes response in almost
every case. However, is that the aspect of the imbalance that needs to be
focused on or is there something else that is more important to address
first? For example, the liver could have a problem but maybe the person is
about to have a heart attack so focusing on the liver would not be the most
advantageous sequencing for this person, at that point in time. (Page 51)
7. True or False? During the full breath cycle the brain monitors all
of the frequencies of the bodymind complex.
True. A yoga principle that has immense relevance to BodyTalk is that
each time we breathe in and out, the brain scans all of the frequencies of
the body. As we breathe in, the scanning goes up the frequencies from
lowest to highest. As we breathe out, the reverse happens. (Page 56)

False. It is also very important for the BodyTalk practitioner to receive
verbal permissions from a client before doing any type of distance work.
We do not conduct sessions on people who are unaware of them being
performed unless in an emergency situation or when the client is underage
or in a coma where permission from the legal guardian is required. This
all relates to the ethics of working with clients in general, where upon
examination, the motivation behind working on someone without their
knowledge would reveal itself to be egotistic on the part of the practitioner
and very agenda-based. (Page 48)
8. List three functions of breathing that seem important in connection
with BodyTalk sessions.
Breathing creates movement, breathing affects Qi flow, breathing is a
scanning tool. (Page 56)
9. When we tap the head, what are we are saying to the brain?
Facilitate the changes. (Page 53)

4. True or False? Working with intention is working without an 10. When we tap the sternum, what are we are saying to the heart?
agenda.
Store the memory of the changes. (Page 53)
False. When you proceed with intent, you are proceeding toward a goal
with bias and expectations derived from past training and experiences. You
are hoping for a specific outcome to the session. In BodyTalk, we prefer
that you conduct a session by paying full attention to what is happening
in the present moment. You are there fully with the client where attention
and awareness take advantage of the interfacing of left/right brain which
encourages innate mental clarity; whereas if you proceed to do something
with intent, your own agenda, beliefs and expectations inhibit the healthy
interface of the left and right brain. (Page 51)

5. True or False? Paying full attention during a session supports the

BodyTalk practitioner to be in the present moment.

True. In BodyTalk, we prefer that you conduct a session by paying full

attention to what is happening in the present moment. (Page 51)
324 BodyTalk Fundamentals
Chapter 4 (Page 81)
1. The BodyTalk Protocol chart contains _______ that are taught in
this Fundamentals course.
The Basic BodyTalk Protocol chart contains all the techniques that are
taught in the BodyTalk Fundamentals course. (Page 63)
2. The Exploring Procedure chart helps you to ______ the protocol
chart.
The Basic Exploring Procedure chart which provides the methodology
for navigating the Protocol chart. (Page 63)
3. When you arrive at an item in the protocol (e.g. Thyroid), what
is the next question?
Here is some background info to answer the question. The question “Is
More Specific a priority?” is intended to break the structure of an item
down into its component parts. So if the item is anatomical in nature,
you go to the smaller structures of the anatomy; if the item is conceptual,
you go to the smaller structures of that concept. An example: if the item is
the heart and you have to be “More Specific,” you might get taken to the
cells of the heart. The next question would be “Further More Specific?”
This might take you to the nucleus of the cells. The next question would
be “Further More Specific?” and so on, until you got No to “Further
More Specific?” That would be the end of that line of questioning. So to
answer the question, if you have arrived at the thyroid through Section
1, Organs, the next question would be “Is Further More Specific on
Thyroid a Priority?”. (Page 66 and 74)
4. If after tapping out heart to lungs, you ask: “is heart to lungs still a
priority?” and the answer is “Yes,” what are the two possible reasons
it might still be a priority?
After tapping out a formula, your first question would be “Is this formula
still a priority?” If Yes, you need to determine if that is because you need
to tap longer or if there is a download time required. (Page 76)
5. True or False? Once you have an item with all of its details, you go
straight to the Implementation Box.
False. When you get No to “Are Further Details a priority?” the next
question is “Is Link a priority?” If the response is Yes, it refers to looking
for another item from the Protocol chart that needs to be linked to the
first item, thus expanding the formula. (Page 72)
Chapter 5 (Page 91)
1. True or False? When Practitioner Permissions is a priority, you
need to find a statement that needs to be repeated.
False. The correction for practitioner Permissions is to take a moment to
assess what is going on. You can sit back, take a few deep breaths, find a
quiet space within, and center yourself. All it takes is to bring the agenda
to awareness, become aware of what the mind is preoccupied with, or
recognize the effect of any factors contributing to the brain’s lack of focus.
For example, the solution may be as simple as you eating something or
drinking a glass of water. (Page 86)
2. True or False? When Client Permissions is a priority, but Details is
No, you need to find a statement that needs to be repeated.
False. In this case, the question comes up whether the client should be
having a BodyTalk session with you at all. It may mean that you are not
the best practitioner for the client right now and you have to refer him or
her to someone else. It may also mean that the client needs another system
of therapy, for example a different modality that you are also trained in or
they need a referral to another type of practitioner altogether. (Page 87)
3. True or False? Permissions need to be linked to an item before
the tap out.
False. As Permissions is a part of the Protocol chart, it can become an item
in the formula linking to or from any other item. Hence the reminder in
the flow chart to ask for Details, Link and Implementation after you find
the statement the client needs to say while being tapped out. The other
item may represent an area where the client’s subconscious resistance
is held or it could be the part of the person that is being affected by a
permission issue. In either case, tapping out the formula including the
Permissions item will help address the resistance to change. It does not
need a link in all cases. (Page 90)
Chapter 6 (Page 137)
1. When the SB junction is locked down, the person will...?
If the SB is locked down, the person will have difficulties in breathing in.
Since breathing in reflects the act of taking in life’s situations fully, the
person will be constantly living in a reactive mode. (Page 96)
2. True or False? Switching is a biological function that can be
eliminated by the BodyTalk Switching technique.
False. There is a normal biological switching mechanism that is designed
to stop us from overtaxing the body physically, mentally, or emotionally.
The normal switching mechanism is necessary and balancing this does
not attempt to stop it from happening. (Page 102)
 Appendices 325

(4.) Rarely, emotions will not budge from the diaphragm. These emotions
end up stored in the connective tissue of the diaphragm muscle itself
and continually compromise the function of the diaphragm. To dislodge
them, the diaphragm often has to be addressed specifically (covered in
an advanced BodyTalk course). (Page 157)

1. True or False? A virus is never linked to an Active Memory release.
False. Often, Body Chemistry is oriented to something in the
environment or linked to General Environment or Active Memory to
clear the specific emotional events that initiated the disharmony in the
immune system. (Page 167)
1. Which lobe of the cortex relates primarily to processing touch
and body awareness?
The parietal lobe. (Page 201)
2. What is the primary focus of the limbic brain?

2. True or False? An intolerance is an immediate reaction of the
immune system to a specific substance that has entered the body.
False. Intolerances, often food related, are categorized here as a more
insidious or slower reaction that the body has to one or more substances.
The reactions may not start to occur for a few days after contact with the
substance, making it much more difficult for the person to realize what
triggered the adverse response. (Page 169)
Chapter 9 (Page 194)
Its primary focus is survival. (Page 200)
3. In terms of brain functioning, what sets us apart from other
primates?
Scientific studies have concluded that what sets humans apart from
other primates may be found in the brain’s frontal lobes. It is the ability
to understand the mental processes of another and is the basis of our
socialization. It allows us to feel empathy, sympathy, understand humor,
and when others are being ironic, sarcastic, or even deceptive. (Page 201)

1. True or False? In Active Memory Events you need to find a phrase 4. What is your line of questioning to get you to “sacral aspect of

events, but learned in childhood that are no longer useful, or never were
useful. (Page 182)

5. True or False? The client should always be informed of what is

being balanced with the Active Memory technique.

False. If the subject matter is controversial, it may be inappropriate

to discuss with the client. For example, if the situation highlighted is
childhood sexual abuse by the father, what is sufficient to say is that
an aspect of the early childhood relationship with the father is going to
be balanced or disassociated. This is a precaution, in case the client as
a child, feared sexual abuse and it did not really happen; or if the child
saw a movie and imagined experiencing something similar. (Page 190)

Chapter 11 (Page 237)
1. True or False? Chakras are consciousness centers for transformation.
True. As centers of transformation, the chakras step down subtle energies
and transform them into nerve, hormonal and cellular energy within the
physical body. (Page 211)
2. Which is the Yang partner of the Throat chakra?
The Solar Plexus chakra balances the Throat chakra to create a single
combined chakra. The digestion of life’s experiences is balanced by the
outward expression and communication of inner truth. (Page 221)
3. Name the 3rd Chakra and list two primary aspects it governs.

7. How do you find the location of the Pancreas Reflex Point on a
client?
To locate the point, have the client place their right hand under the left
armpit and then replace the left arm beside their body. The point will be
just in front of the arm below the little finger. (Page 233)
8. Describe some of the symptoms a client might have if their Pancreas
Reflex Point is unbalanced.
It is closely associated with the mood swings found in unstable sugar
balance and is often strongly indicated in premenstrual tension and
depression associated with food intake. (Page 232)
Appendices 327
Chapter 12 (Page 253)
1. True or False? A major contributing factor to disease is often due
to unresolved conflicts within the client’s environment.
True. Frequently, the practitioner will find that the bodymind will not
fully balance until unresolved conflicts with factors and people within
the client’s environment are linked and harmonized. (Page 241)
2. True or False? The General Environment balancing technique has
nothing to do with Active Memory processing.
False. With the General Environment technique we are restoring
harmony by removing the emotional charge from the environmental
factor using a shift in the client’s perspective. In a way, this is an alternative
to the Active Memory technique.
3. Explain the role of consciousness (or the mind) of a person, as they
relate to their environment.
We need to remember that from a consciousness perspective, the
environmental factors that the client is having issues with are outward
projections from their own mind. Things in the environment in and of
themselves are not the problem. This is a difficult concept for the mind
to grasp, because we are constantly bombarded with information about
how this is bad for us, or that causes cancer, or the other thing leads
to horrible symptoms, etc. We are brainwashed into thinking that the
environment has a real effect upon the body. (Page 241)
4. What is the Birth Vivaxis technique designed to do?
In the case of the Birth Vivaxis, the technique is designed to strengthen
the link between the client and their place of birth. (Page 248)
5. What are three signs that a person’s environmental vivaxis may
be out of balance?
When clients have a disturbance in their environmental vivaxis, they tend
to feel uneasy in their environment. They will complain that they do not
“fit in” to the surrounds and feel uncomfortable there, both physically
and socially. (Page 248)
328 BodyTalk Fundamentals
Chapter 13 (Page 264)
1. The first area to consider when asking what needs to be repaired
with Cellular Repair is?
Vaccinations (Page 262,263 or Protocol Chart)
2. Explain the relevance of using the sore points in the masseter
muscles in the Cellular Repair technique.
The masseter muscles are involved in the operation of the
temporomandibular joints and have an extraordinary number of
receptors that constantly send impulses back to the brain – far more
than would obviously be necessary for normal jaw movement. There
appears to be some form of encoding in the way the impulses are sent to
the brain. In clinical experience, different tender spots in these muscles
may correlate with different conditions being highlighted for repair, so
a focus on this muscle engages the attention of the brain. The sacrum,
or “sacred bone,” in traditional Chinese medicine, is the entry point
of the ancestral energy. Both the sacrum and the masseters have also
been used in applied kinesiology techniques to balance ancestral energy
and seem to influence genetics. These are some of the reasons that the
relationship between the sacrum and the masseters is important to the
Cellular Repair technique. (Page 258)
3. After the genetic code has been opened, the client’s hands are
placed where?
The client places both hands on the sides of the head covering the limbic
brain. (Page 260)
4. What is the most common link after the Cellular Repair is
completed?
As the brain has done a lot of energetic processing of changes to the
DNA, it may require some balancing itself, after completing the Cellular
Repair technique. At this point, you ask if Cortices are a priority. If Yes,
tap out the Cortices technique. If the Cortices needs a link, it is usually
to the area of cellular repair. (Page 261)
Chapter 14 (Page 278)
1. Name the main areas associated with the Lymph technique. What
structures are found here?
The focus of the Lymph technique is on the six main areas that lymph
nodes are found: Neck, Clavicle, Axilla, Spleen, Abdomen, Groin. Lymph
Nodes are found here. (Page 270)
2. What structure is considered the master controller of the nerve
supply?
As a part of the technique, there is an “anchor” symbolizing the master
organ of the particular system that is being addressed: Nerve circulation
is represented by the brain. (Page 274)
3. What does “Circulation, Lymph within” refer to?
Circulation of the lymph, within represents the movement of the
interstitial fluid amongst the cells of the tissues in the area. (Page 274)
Chapter 15 (Page 291)
1. Explain the concept of “reciprocals” using a person’s gait as the
example.
This relationship can be seen clearly when you observe a person walking.
The arms and legs move in synchronicity, the left arm balancing the body
when the right leg is forward and the right arm balancing the body when
the left leg is forward. The motion of the shoulders counterbalances the
opposite hips, the elbows follow the opposite knees and the wrists balance
the opposite ankles. It is similar for the head balanced on the spine when
walking, where every point of the upper spine is counter-balanced by a
point in the lower spine. (Page 283)
2. List six possible effects that balancing the reciprocals could result
in.
(1.) Significantly affect the total health of the person.
(2.) Boost the general energy levels of the person.
(3.) Lift the person’s mood and strengthen their resolve (possibly a side
effect of the general energy boost).
(4.) Balance the energy meridian system that influences every major
organ.
(5.) Have a dramatic effect on the overall structural integrity of the person.
(Significant changes in posture are often noticeable to trained eyes.)
(6.) Improve total circulation and lymphatic drainage of the body
(probably due to the postural changes). (Page 284)
3. Which is the reciprocal partner of T5?
T6, (Page 288)
4. You are at extrinsic reciprocals “left shoulder tip to right hip”
and Further More Specific is a priority. What would you be looking
for next?
You will first need to determine if you are working bilaterally… or which
diagonal pair is the priority… More specific could also mean that you
have to find a more specific location within the area of the reciprocal.
