Autonomic Intelligence

In Autonomic Intelligence: Pathway to the Pulsatile Self and Sustainable Health, wellness entrepreneur and innovator John Alton introduces readers to concepts and practices that enhance ìAutonomic Intelligenceî or AuI: the ability to build and stockpile health by working the autonomic nervous system. Alton helps readers expand their AuI by providing a fully illustrated, concise, and understandable overview of the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and the cardiovascular and immune systems and the role that relationship plays in both good and poor health. The overview includes the latest research on the "autonomic cardiovascular and immune systems" and an explanation of a promising, non-invasive technique for measuring their strength and weakness. Halfway through the book, readers are introduced to Reflective Exercise (RE): a simple routine that can be learned via streaming video available at www.pulsatileinternational.com or Amazon Video Direct. RE transforms the autonomic nervous system into a sensory organ, producing the ìReflective Responseî (RfR), a pulsatile sensation in the body that allows for real-time control over cardiovascular and immune function. Alton asserts that the RfR ìmay turn out to be the greatest, least known, and most poorly understood healing effect the world has ever seenî and offers both scientific and anecdotal evidence to back his assertion. The bookís final section gives a vivid account of the history of the RfR and its impact on his own serious health problems.
