The Yawn That Spreads Presence
Yawns spread automatically, but Human Baseline shows how to ride the contagion consciously into presence.

Metaphorical Narrative
One person yawns, another follows, then another.
A wave of breath rolls through the group like a tide.
It isn’t tiredness alone — it’s nervous systems syncing without consent.
Core Insight
Yawns are autopilot co-regulation — a vagal contagion cue.
Human Baseline reframes it: instead of unconscious mimic, treat the yawn as entry into deliberate presence.
Exhale longer, shoulders soften, and the wave becomes conscious calm.
Saturday Experiment
When you catch a yawn, let it deepen into a full baseline reset.
Notice if others sync with you more strongly.
Sunday Reflection
What proof showed yawns were co-regulation biology?
How did baseline awareness turn contagion into conscious presence?
