You probably should search for "Virgil Smith."  Or, "natural beat."

There are probably more definitions, but simply, it is tuning unisons as you
go.  The different way of listening is that you don't consciously focus on
individual partials.  You listen to all the partials blending  together, and
try to focus on the natural beat.

It would probably be helpful to read Virgil's book.  I was fortunate to have
attended his class two different times.  But I've not yet purchased his
book.
