Covered in 6.3:

-The sympathetic nervous system can provide us with superhero powers in moments of extreme need
-The sympathetic nervous system has important functions and is needed in the body (it’s not “bad!”)
-Trouble occurs when the pendulum doesn’t ever swing back to parasympathetic
-When there is a lack of balance between these two systems, we can get trapped in “orange alert” (state of persistent, subtle stress)
-When we’re living in “orange alert,” we often have overblown responses to small stimuli
-Overview of the sympathetic nervous system is action: what happens neurologically, anatomically and cardiovascularly when a tiger (or perceived tiger) is coming at us
-Overview of reciprocal inhibited breathing
-Why one of the most powerful things we can do as teachers is realign students with their breath
-Fascia will always develop in such a way to best support the muscles, even if the muscles are in a state of chronic tension (this is why myofascial release therapy is so important)
-Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system can spike cortisol levels and lead to autoimmune disorders
-Oxytocin (the cuddle hormone) releases into the bloodstream as the sympathetic nervous system shuts off
