Middle trapezius from T1–T5 to the spine of the scapula — retracts the blade
Middle fibers retract. Accessory nerve and C3–C4. You name retract, or depress. You name the door.Illustration · site art, not a Kapel Draw.

This class does not take the upper trapezius. Middle fibers from T1–T5 to the spine of the scapula: they retract. Lower fibers from T6–T12 to the root of the spine: they depress the blade and help it upwardly rotate. The source slide wrote ‘retration.’ The word is retraction. Nerve: accessory (CN XI) and C3–C4.

Spleen as address

Mid-trapezius was the spleen door in Class 1. Kapel’s emotional pair here is self-esteem and self-blame. Classical TCM gives spleen over-thought and worry. We say whose vocabulary we are in. Feelings have jobs. You name retract, or depress. You name the door.

Practice

Reach a hand toward the opposite back pocket, slow. Feel the lower trapezius work without hiking the shoulder toward the ear. Name depression. Name spleen.

Check

Lower trapezius helps the scapula to:

  1. Depress and upwardly rotate ✓
  2. Shrug toward the ear — that is upper trapezius, not this class
  3. Protract, with serratus

Depression and upward rotation. Upper trap is not this class. Serratus protracts.

You use this fiber by:

  1. Naming spleen as the address — self-regard against self-blame — and asking which fibers are on ✓
  2. Parking it on liver with the rhomboids, because both retract
  3. Parking upper and lower trap on lung, because the girdle lifts into air

Spleen is the door. Liver is rhomboid. Lung waits on serratus as a fork, and on deltoid in a later course.

Middle fibers from T1 on this hour:

  1. Middle fibers from T1 as a bottle you write
  2. T5 to the spine of the scapula: they retract ✓
  3. Squeezing the gate until it 'opens'

Middle fibers from T1 — T5 to the spine of the scapula: they retract

Lower fibers from T6 on this hour:

  1. A dose you write from a yield
  2. T12 to the root of the spine: they depress the blade and help it upwardly rotate ✓
  3. Treating every hour as interchangeable production

Lower fibers from T6 — T12 to the root of the spine: they depress the blade and help it…

This hour teaches that:

  1. A bottle that finishes the feeling
  2. The source slide wrote 'retration.' The word is retraction. ✓
  3. Opening a chakra by squeezing it

The source slide wrote 'retration.' The word is retraction.

Mid and lower trapezius, spleen — keep this:

  1. Thyroxine from the medulla
  2. Kapel's emotional pair here is self-esteem and self-blame. ✓
  3. A cream you prescribe from the chart

Kapel's emotional pair here is self-esteem and self-blame.

A true line on this hour:

  1. A name that captures the whole sky
  2. We say whose vocabulary we are in. ✓
  3. Living against the tide on purpose

We say whose vocabulary we are in.

Practice on this hour is to:

  1. Inventing a colorful story so the session feels complete
  2. Reach a hand toward the opposite back pocket, slow. ✓
  3. A rigid medical diagnosis you must stamp

Method before bottle. Trace what the lesson names.

The lab on this hour is for:

  1. A graded exam that invents the next curriculum
  2. Feeling and naming what the lesson maps — journal, not a bottle ✓
  3. A prescription pad for the lab name

Lab is literacy. Not a dose from the yield.

"Mid and lower trapezius, spleen" here is best treated as:

  1. A tourist collection of special experiences
  2. This class does not take the upper trapezius. ✓
  3. A rigid diagnosis tool that replaces sleep

Train with the map. Do not invent a second sky.
