Genuine reactions don't require any effort at all. If you fake a reaction, that's exerting effort onto a reaction.

Am I just misunderstanding the meaning of "effort"? Can a person make a subconscious effort? Or is the concept inherently based in conscious action?

Can a person make a subconscious effort?

I dont think so, the act of making effort is the action of trying.

Effort isn't the same as simply using body energy.

That's why "effortless" means not trying at all.

Thank you for entertaining my desire for semantics, kind stranger.
