How to Observe Through Your Day

You're already noticing

The observation is a sensation you notice as you go about your day: walking, sitting, moving. You don't check for it, and you never need to examine yourself. Your body brings the sign to you.

Mucus travels down as you're upright and active, and you feel it at the vulva before you would ever see it. That feeling is the observation.

Through the day, not in a moment

You are not hunting for one perfect reading. You simply stay lightly aware through the day: dry, or moist, or a smoothness, or a clear slipperiness.

If the feeling changes as the day goes on, that is normal. Movement and time are part of how the sign appears.

Record the strongest sign of the day

At the end of the day, you record once, looking back over the whole day. You record the wettest or most slippery sensation you noticed, even if it lasted only part of the day.

A slippery moment counts, even if the rest of the day felt dry. The wettest sensation always takes precedence, because it tells you the most about where your body is.

Choosing the words that fit

In Corvia you record by choosing the words that match what you noticed, from a short, plain list: dry, moist, wet, slippery, and a few more. You pick the one that fits, sensation first, then appearance.

Sensation leads. If you felt slippery but saw nothing, you were still slippery. What you feel tells you more than what you see.

This becomes familiar faster than you would think. A few days in, you'll notice the sign without trying. The noticing is the whole practice.

Terms in this lesson

• Sensation. What you feel at the vulva as you go about your day. The most important sign in the method, and the one that leads when sensation and appearance seem to disagree.
• Appearance. What you see of any discharge, described simply: nothing, cloudy, creamy, clear, stretchy. Appearance supports sensation but never overrides it.
