Chapters
We have three types of stress that we process in the physical body. We have physical stress, that's like trauma, accidents, injuries, and then you have chemical stress, like toxins or pesticides or pollutants, and then you have emotional stress. Emotional stress can be family tragedies, car accidents, each one of those things, physical, chemical, or emotional, knock the body out of homeostasis, out of regulation, out of balance. The innate capacity of the body when it's not overstressed is that it wants to always return back and regulate, it wants to return back to homeostasis, the autonomic nervous system wants to return back to order. That's an automatic process that's running through the autonomic nervous system. So we could say the job of the autonomic nervous system is to create balance and regulation and homeostasis and it's automatic. Well, it just makes sense. If you keep knocking it out of balance over and over again and you keep moving it out of homeostasis, that imbalance is going to become the new balance and now you're headed for disease because that autonomic automatic system can't regulate order in the body.
