Effort, bite, and discharge

This point represents the right side of a jaw-and-face activation cluster used here to depict effort, biting, vocalisation, and discharge during BPM III's struggle imagery. The jaw projection is a modern somatic visual convention, not a claim that Grof's text defines a discrete jaw point or an anatomical pathway.
