CHAPTER

Understanding the Autonomic Nervous System

This chapter explores the autonomic nervous system, its role in fight or flight and rest and digest responses, and the importance of activating the parasympathetic nervous system for recovery. It discusses how modern society's overload of information can trigger stress responses, and emphasizes the need to cultivate the ability to downshift into the parasympathetic nervous system. The chapter also explores practical strategies such as intentional breathing, movement, soothing touch, intentional listening, intentional nutrition, and sleep and rest.
