The best protection against being interrupted is knowing whether there's anyone out there to interrupt you.  This Rote allows the student to scan her immediate area for life patterns.  It's also an excellent practice exercise -- masters often ask their students to scan their areas, identify any life patterns by species and then repeat the scan every 10 minutes, making a note of which life forms have left and which new ones have entered.

[Life 1 allows the student to sense and identify life forms, Correspondence 1 allows her to sense the area around her.]
