I don't know if I slept funny or if this is related to the training. When I have been dong the back slaps the last few days when I bend and move the center line of the chest to do the first backslap I have been feeling this thing in my back. If I imagine that my spine is inside a tube I could feel the left side of the tube near the lower ribs. It's not a discomfort but I just notice some kind of stretching tube feeling. I think I was feeling it on the right side on a different day but today it is  present on the left side. 

We have been talking about how when doing the transverse couple there should be a feeling of spreading in the back. I've been having trouble feeling that sensation and I've felt that when learning the foot couple and the transverse couple in the waist it helps to be able to mentally visualize or have some idea about what is causing the sensations to occur.

Earlier on when I started the standing I would notice that I often could feel tension in my back near the ribs on the left hand side. After some time I stopped noticing that tension or it went away. Last night after I had done some of the warmups and was practicing the standing I could feel tension in that area again but now it felt as if it was underneath the ribs and it felt more like it was maybe tension in the fascia or something that was wrapping around that part of the diaphragm.
