However, it is now recognized that there is no single or ultimate homeostatic balance point in biologic systems because they are self-organizing systems with many more possibilities than a single steady state. They also rely on dynamics other than feedback controls such as strange attractors and innumerable flows of information to regulate themselves. Thus, the concept of homeostasis is limited and is undergoing replacement by a new concept, homeodynamics. A critical aspect of homeodynamics is the capacity of living systems to respond creatively to stressors by developing new dynamic modes. When humans are exposed to environmental stressors or emotional challenges, there is a cascade of signal processing along with resulting physical changes in the body that initiate a response. Homeodynamics emphasizes the ever-adjusting nature of the processes that maintain life functions. Once a new stressor is encountered, the organism never returns to its previous dynamic state but establishes a new dynamic balance appropriate to this newly integrated experience. (p. 707) The theory is, once the ANS is balanced, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems allow the body to function with ease. When the ANS is at ease, an individual’s breathing is regulated. When an individual’s breathing is regulated, the circulation of fluids throughout the body can flow naturally. When the body is regulated and functioning optimally, an individual has the ability to react with resilience when faced with a stressful situation. When an individual is able to reduce stress on the body, the natural healing process of the body can occur. To better understand the ANS process, Freeman (2009) wrote, The ANS has two divisions that affect the same internal organs, but they have opposite effects. The two divisions are called sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic division generally stimulates certain smooth muscles to contract or glands to secrete, 5PDF Image | Light, Sound, Vibration for Healing and Stress
