Is the outside world controlling you?
Or, are you controlling you?
The Red-Light Reflex is the activation of the pattern of withdrawal, grief, fear and apprehension. It is the somatic reflexive contraction of the front that makes us hard to the world, who’s in control of it? We loose control of the “red-light” patterns because our nervous system gets plenty of opportunity to practice it. It hunches us over and tries to make us small, as if to disappear. The Red-Light reflexive pattern creates head forward, rounded shoulder, and hushed over postures. This is how to regain control of it.
