Being in the Red zone is more rare. This is where the lower brain perceives that the body is not going to survive the experience and shuts it down. The body becomes immobilized to play dead, anesthetized to minimize suffering, and the consciousness often leaves the body or is disassociated from it. Again, this is an amazing biological accomplishment in a split second. We see this with high impacts, with early and chronic abuse such as [[SRA]], and in war and torture. The [[Dissociative Disorders|eyes are vacant]] the voice is monotone and the body is lifelessly still, meaning there is no fidgeting or normal movement in the body.<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/resource-tools/news-shift-timelines/3200-overcoming-fear Overcoming Fear]</ref> | Being in the Red zone is more rare.

==Creating Conditions== | |||
The issue with the survival brain is that we cannot fake it out. If we want to relax, we actually have to create the conditions for the physiology to move into green. If we live with a [[FKOT|predator]], if we work under a predator, if we do not have our basics needs met, we are going to be in yellow. So part of being able to clear fear means making choices that help the [[Brain]] and nervous system register that we are [[Safe People|safe]]. | |||
