STAGE 2: HUMAN TECHNOLOGY – SWITCHING ON HEART-MIND INTELLIGENCE

Stage 2 – Response shows what occurs when the right brain is awakened and left and right come into balance, and how so many more of our natural resources are available to us.

Here is a breakdown of the elements of Stage 2:

  • Switching on: using both left, right and whole brain function, we can now manage our old amygdala reactive caveman software more effectively
  • Hypothalamus: more aware of the hypothalamus part of the brain – our mind-body emotional regulator – we can learn to stay in control
  • The endocrine system: the endocrine system now relaxes and the body is calmer
  • Parasympathetic (response) nervous system:­ our parasympathetic (response) part of our nervous system comes into balance, counteracting emotions such as anxiety, frustration and anger, helping to prevent stress build up experienced through our sympathetic (reactive) nervous system
  • Prefrontal cortex: the amygdala recognizes there’s no danger (no sabre tooth tiger) which opens the gateway to our prefrontal cortex, allowing us to engage in critical thinking
  • Open in the heart: more open in the heart, we can safely internalize the experience, allowing us to go through the process in a healthy way, using our bright response software and exercising emotional awareness and heart-mind intelligence
  • Processing past trauma:when experiencing unprocessed stress, conflict and trauma from past events, we are now more prepared to manage what we couldn’t before, perhaps with support from people we know and trust or professional guidance

The benefits of the Stage 2 shift from reaction to response can’t be over-stated. As you develop a more positive and motivated mindset you are in spirit and inspired, thinking more creatively, living more purposefully, becoming a problem solver and solution seeker. You realize the power of giving and receiving, and as you practice living from higher values you will naturally build stronger and more fulfilling relationships. As you find your way with these changes, you’ll find yourself and life in general to be very much more enjoyable.
