Your Brain and Your Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system includes the parasympathetic and the sympathetic systems. The parasympathetic system is in charge of the organs and their functions, while the sympathetic system is in charge of the fight or flight response to perceived danger or stress, whether that means running from a dangerous animal, being stuck in a dreadful job, or dealing with a difficult boss! Excess fear or anger, stress or shock can cause the sympathetic nervous system to turn on and shut down the parasympathetic system. When this happens the organs don’t receive their usual instructions and stop functioning normally so that all energy is diverted to the “fight” or the “flight”.
Sometimes after the shock is over or the danger has passed, the sympathetic nervous system forgets to revert control back to the parasympathetic system, which in turn inhibits proper organ function, and could lead to disease if prolonged. This state is called sympathetic dominance, a term used by Dr. Lawrence Wilson, and indicates a pattern of over-utilizing the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic dominance can also occur when there is not enough downtime for recovery between stress responses.
Individuals who are sympathetic dominant usually have a very active mind to begin with, and can easily become overactive. Often it is rooted in a background that taught them not be lazy, to be productive and to not waste time; which can develop into a compulsive or obsessive quality. Some people may experience emotions of fear, anger, worry or other negative feelings that drive them to achieve highly or just to keep moving all the time. This can make relaxing, sleeping or just sitting even more difficult. The reason for this is that the body is often in a “second wind” mode of living much of the time. Many who are stuck in sympathetic dominance, if they were honest with themselves, would admit to being fearful and always somewhat depressed; the high state of activity or achievement provides them a way to “run away” from dealing with situations that trouble them, otherwise they would not feel well.
Sympathetic dominance is often a lifestyle pattern. This means it is usually more of a habit, rather than a strictly physical illness or condition.
Other Symptoms of the Sympathetic Dominant Personality Type include:
- Lots physical activity – often run around too much physically
- Forever busy
- Difficulty relaxing, sitting still, resting, and being idle
- Highly driven and compelled
- Somewhat obsessive or compulsive
- Often stressed as if being “chased by tigers”
- Believe that to relax is a “waste of time” or “unproductive” or “lazy”
- Identify themselves as a “doer” with lots of physical or mental activities
- Struggle to be happy without needing to run around or do much of anything
- Anxious or worriers. This is a form of “running around aimlessly” in the mind
- Tired, but usually somewhat out of touch with the fatigue and exhaustion
- Might only feel tired when they slow down. If you relax, you feel like going to sleep
- A very active or analytical mind
- Willful, often willing themselves to think and do too much
- Fearful and always somewhat depressed underneath due to fears, worries and fatigue. Constant busyness allows them to avoid feeling these unpleasant emotions.
- Desire to “move on”, but unsure how to do this
- Somewhat lonely but try to ‘fit in with the crowd’
- Overwork, overachieve, and generally run themselves ragged
- Try to please others and exhaust self in the process
- Reduced libido in some cases. This may stem from hidden fatigue, and an inability to just relax.
- Un-grounded and not centered enough. This goes with the tendency to run around too much or worry too much.
Correcting Sympathetic Dominance
A Balancing program is geared to correct sympathetic dominance in many different ways.
If we are stuck in the Sympathetic Dominant state, we are never able to rest, digest and heal.
So many people today are in sympathize dominance and like so many other things in our life we have to find balance with our autonomic nervous system as well as everything else. We believe that Chiropractic care, nutritional balancing, hydration and BrainTap can be a great ways to get started with achieving this balance. The body is about homeostasis, or in other words balance; balance of emotions, of systems, or energy, of chemical processes, of hormones, etc.
Why We Recommend Brain Tap
After decades of research, Dr. Porter has developed a truly revolutionary concept in BrainTap — a powerfully effective tool designed to help people like you achieve balanced brainwave states that enhance production of all the necessary neurotransmitters needed for optimal function of body and mind. This exclusive, copyrighted technology has been extensively tested to create the perfect symmetry of sound, music, and spoken word for the ultimate in brainwave training and relaxation, providing your mind and body with all the benefits of meditation without the disciplined effort. Unlike meditation apps, BrainTap’s neuro-algorithm produces brainwave entrainment — the synchronization of brainwaves to a specialized sound — with no user effort. The result of which is full-spectrum brainwave activity. Using this matrix of neuro-activity, each of BrainTap’s sessions is encoded differently to ensure maximum neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, resulting in a flexible and resilient brain.
The science behind BrainTap relies on four key elements that enable the sessions to induce brainwave entrainment.
Those four elements are:
The Power Of Light
The Braintap Headset
In addition to the sonic effects of braintapping, the BrainTap headset delivers gentle light pulses that travel through the retina and ear meridians, sending direct signals to the brain and guiding you into unparalleled brain states.
Pulsing light, in the correct pattern and intensity, can produce levels of deep relaxation known to affect serotonin and endorphin levels, with an average increase of 21 percent in one study. These increases not only can calm and relax the mind but also produce powerful effects in maintaining a positive outlook and optimistic thinking.
What is the BrainTap Headset and the BrainTap Library?
The BrainTap Headset delivers gentle pulses of light and sound combined with visualization, guided imagery and soothing music in the BrainTap Library of audio sessions to take you to the profound levels of relaxation known for focus, learning, achievement and healing. How well does it work?
Well, one study, using blood analysis before and after relaxation sessions using flash emitting goggles showed an average increase of beta-endorphin levels of 25% and serotonin levels of 21%. Beta-endorphins are produced by the pituitary gland and are known to have greater analgesic (pain-relieving) potency than morphine, and serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical in the brain that is responsible, in part, for regulating brain functions such as mood, sleep, and memory.
BrainTap is a fresh approach for calming stress, emotional eating and other addiction patterns as well as changing the habits and behaviors. And these are just a few of the reasons BrainTap is becoming so popular that, according to Dr. Porter, hundreds of thousands of North Americans are now taking advantage of its benefits daily.
What do I love most about BrainTap? It’s so simple to use! You just put on the BrainTap Headset, then kick back and experience deep relaxation and body/mind rejuvenation. It’s a 20-minute light & sound show you’re going to love!

“I Kicked My Smoking Habit Without Withdrawals!”
I started smoking when I was a teenager. I tried to quit cold turkey and, when that didn’t work, I tried weaning myself off. I’d have horrible mood swings and suffer intense cravings, especially around other smokers. When I started gaining weight, I’d cave. Once I met the creator of SMT, Dr. Patrick Porter, everything changed. Dr. Porter showed me how to kick my habit without withdrawals. Not only did I not have mood swings, I felt empowered. He taught me how to use SMT to become a nonsmoker for life!

“Helps Golfers Get the Crucial Mental Practice They Need”
Golfers are known for losing their temper, overanalyzing, and second-guessing their club selection. Without mental focus, most people tend to quickly revert to old swing faults. Dr. Porter’s SMT program helps golfers get the crucial mental practice they need. It can also replace many of the repetitions needed at a golf driving range, saving them money and time. I’ve seen Dr. Porter’s SMT program help dozens of golfers gain mental control, which translates to lower golf scores.
