What You Learned About Your Nervous System is WRONG
WHAT YOU LEARNED ABOUT YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS WRONG
We’ve been told that
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM IS BAD: it causes us stress and puts us into fight and flight.
And our
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM IS GOOD: it is our rest and digest system, it allows us to slow down, and heal.
In the old model, the sympathetic nervous system was bad and the parasympathetic nervous system was good.
But we need both.
Your SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM AT EASE: Allows you to move and act. It supports you in waking up in the morning. It gives you the energy you need to go about your day. It allows you to use your body the way you want to, like an accelerator.
It’s time to retire the old model of sympathetic bad and parasympathetic good. As I’ve said many times before, we are not spiritual zombies. It is not simply a matter of relaxing to feel better.
