Explanation
The sympathetic nervous system is a subconscious control system in the body responsible for the “Fight or Flight” response, as well as controlling aspects of homeostasis. When the sympathetic nervous system assumes prominence, it affects the following:
- Heart rate (increases rate and force of contraction)
- Digestion (slows digestion rate)
- Respiratory rate (increases rate)
- Bronchioles (dilates to allow more airflow)
- Blood vessels (dilate in skeletal muscles)
- Perspiration (increases)
- Pupillary dilation (increases)
- Micturition (constricts bladder)
- Rectum (contracts)
- Gallbladder (inhibits secretions)
- Sexual arousal (inhibits)
If you have been guided to this page by the subconscious mind through testing, it indicates that the somatic nervous system is imbalanced in some way.
Decoding
You’ve already identified the imbalance. Continue to Association.
Association
Ask: Is there an associated imbalance that needs to be decoded?
- If no, skip to Intention
- If yes, return to the home page, decode and address any associated imbalance(s), then return here and repeat the above question.
Intention
Swipe three times with a magnet or your hand on any length of the governing meridian, while holding an intention to correct the imbalance.
