One advantage with my new 3-center system is that it matches mainstream medicine. The kidneys are the lower center symbolized by red. The heart is the middle center symbolized by green. And the amygdala is the upper center symbolized by blue. In mainstream medicine this is related to the HPA axis.
Quote:"The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA axis or HTPA axis) is a complex set of direct influences and feedback interactions among three components: the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland (a pea-shaped structure located below the thalamus), and the adrenal (also called "suprarenal") glands (small, conical organs on top of the kidneys). ... Sensory information arriving at the lateral aspect of the amygdala is processed and conveyed to the amygdala's central nucleus, which then projects out to several parts of the brain involved in responses to fear." - Wikipedia
Quote:"In this review, we will explore the emerging research that indicates stress does have direct effects on the cardiovascular system via the HPA axis activation, with emphasis on the latest research on the impact of glucocorticoids signaling in the vasculature and the heart." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5666832/
