An autonomic state is like a tuning preset on your deep nervous system. Like a graphic equalizer, the Autonomic Nervous System comes with numerous presets that address a range of life conditions. Each of these 13 states is comprised of three elements.

Autonomic Temperature (temperature)- which is our moment-to-moment detection of safety, danger, and lifethreat

Autonomic Neurology (neurology)- which are the actual neurological systems available to us

Autonomic Neurochemistry (chemistry) - which are the neurohormones flowing through our system

Although this might sound complicated, you already know this because it is an essential part of our humanness. It has just never been organized into an accurate living map for you.
