When you experience trauma or stress, your body goes into an adrenaline or “fight or flight” state. Your body is preparing to run or fight, literally. Here are the physical changes associated with the fight or flight state:
-
• Increased Blood Pressure
-
• Increased Heart Rate
-
• Shallow Breath
-
• Reduced Digestion
-
• Increased Blood Flow to Large Extrinsic Muscles
-
• Reduced Blood Flow to All Organs
-
• Reduced Blood Flow to Skin (largest organ)
-
• Reduced Blood Flow to High Brain (Neocortex)
-
• Increased Blood Flow to Reptilian Brain (Survival Brain)
-
• Reduced Electrical Activity in High Brain/Neocortex
-
• Increased Electrical Activity in Reptilian/Survival Brain
-
• Increased Flexion (forward bending like a boxers crouch)
-
• Reduced Control of Bowels and Bladder
Many people are walking around, stuck in an adrenaline state 24 hours a day. Their nervous system has not processed their stress or trauma enough to get out of the flight or flight state, and this feels normal. Yet it affect people at many levels, whether it is blood pressure, pressure incontinence, or just not making as good of decisions because they are not accessing their high brains like they should be.
In my experience, nothing compares to Network Spinal Analysis for getting the nervous system to get out of fight or flight. Your skin heating up during an Entrainment is an absolute sign that the adrenaline side of your autonomic nervous system is calming down. You will also feel extremely relaxed. If you have been used to relying on adrenaline for your energy, you may feel exhausted for about 2o minutes after your entrainments. Your sleep will be so much deeper and more restful as you drop your adrenaline levels that soon you will feel a surge in your baseline reservoir of calm energy. Your spouse or significant other may comment that you are less edgy. Welcome to Network care, we are just getting started...
