    1. They want you passive, sitting in a burning room, trying to meditate the smoke away.

      Denial vs. Regulation The "Spa Day" fallacy is a misapplication of mindfulness that can lead to Dissociation. When the brain’s Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) detects a conflict (the "burning room"), the healthy response is to mobilise the Sympathetic Nervous System for a solution.

      The "PsyOp" of passive peace encourages a "freeze" response under the guise of relaxation. This causes the Dorsal Vagal branch of the Vagus Nerve to shut down system functions rather than engaging the Ventral Vagal state of "Social Engagement and Safety." True Shalom requires Neural Integration—where the brain acknowledges the chaos but maintains the Executive Function needed to act, rather than simply suppressing the stress signal until the system collapses from within.

    1. in a normal person this is what their sympathetic nervous 00:06:45 system activity looks like and people with sleep apnea who are having these difficulties at night this is what their sympathetic nervous system looks like during the day when they're actually not having apnea it's because it's ramped up 00:06:57 and this is a problem that causes their blood pressure to not be able to relax

    1. once we get under stress we hit what they call the sympathetic nervous system the sympathetic nervous system causes a a a stoppage 00:27:18 to the to the digestive system in other words you know with this pure sympathetic is what we call the rest and digest so when you're relaxed you digest food better okay when you're when you're in the skin tense 00:27:31 so what happens is when you get tense the digestive system doesn't function correctly so now you got food in there you need you need you need that acid you need the enzymes to work correctly but nothing's working so you got food 00:27:44 sitting in there that's not getting digested all right so what does it do it's got to go somewhere
      • for: stress - affects digestion - sympathetic nervous system

    1. The PDMs of this model show promise in revealing the important dynamic characteristics of the underlying physiological mechanisms and allow the formulation of specific quantitative hypotheses about the role of the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity (corresponding to specific PDMs) in cerebral perfusion and autoregulation. Consistent with the widely held view regarding the temporal characteristics of autonomic control of the cardiovascular system, it is posited that the HR PDMs with a resonant spectral peak around 0.2 Hz may be associated with parasympathetic activity, whereas the PDMs with a resonant spectral peak around 0.12 Hz may be associated with sympathetic activity
