Let’s zoom in on the HEALTH CREATION wedge of the autonomic mandala. Autonomic temperature in this wedge is characterized by feeling some degree of safety. In this wedge, you have an embodied feeling of enough present moment safety to feel available to your inward and outward experience.
If the body feels calm, settled, quiet, still, meditative, reflective, you are in the (8) RESTORE state.
If it has slightly more energy than this, you are in (9) ENJOY.
If the primary flavor is SOCIAL- wanting to connect with self, others, or nature, you are in (10) CONNECT.
If there is more movement involved, yet still connection, you are in (11) PLAY.
If there is more of a tone of intensity to this movement, you are in (12) COMPETE.
The state of UNION (7) is a transitional state, which is context dependent. Union is both still (meditative) and also permeable (boundaries are somewhat dissolved).
