I appreciated that the safety / danger / life-threat triad of neural systems was widened to include the role of the latter neural systems in non-threatening circumstances, which are likely their more normal mode of working when not dealing with chronic stress.

I appreciated when participants shared real-life experience to explore where things fit or not quite or not fully.

As others have stated, I have a better understanding of the color-coding of triangle wedges and their surrounds (circles) used in your newer charts.

The conversation began to touch on hormones' roles in various scenarios. I'd like to hear more about this, and if possible shifting language from technical (oxytocin, cortisol , ...) to language that speaks more to the activity they elicit or what elicits them?

Brainstem and spine act as a whole for complex patterned movement

Would like to better understand how various parts of the brain interact with the three ANS channels

Overall really clear and respectful of past exploration while being clear where "conventional wisdom" doesn't get it right. By "being clear" - specific observations that are counter to orthodoxy

I don’t think we’ve broken anything - you added body.

Heart centered, brain centered, blood centered concepts are insufficient. Even traditional Chinese medicine needs to revised, as there are multiple defects of translation.

So, whole body including all layers and structures plus energy level (aura etc etc) should be considered as a whole working together system - nothing should be abandoned and underrated.

And it’s very wise you add not exclude, that what I noticed on Friday’s meeting.

I would like to dive more into phenomenological approach, I see that it makes knowledge re ANS more accessible
