Autonomic Intelligence: Pathway to the Pulsatile Self and Sustainable Health introduces readers to concepts and practices that enhance "Autonomic Intelligence" or AuI: the ability to build and stockpile health by working the autonomic nervous system. The book 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 "Reflective Response" (RfR), a pulsatile sensation in the body that allows for real-time control over cardiovascular and immune function. The author asserts that the RfR "may turn out to be the greatest, least known, and most poorly understood healing effect the world has ever seen" and offers both scientific and anecdotal evidence to back his assertion. The book's final section gives a vivid account of the history of the RfR and its impact on his own serious health problems.
