Through these pathways you send and search for signs of welcome and signals of warning.

The ventral vagal and sympathetic systems work together to activate the state of play. Play exercises the vagal brake and strengthens the ability to move between activity and calm. If sympathetic mobilization overwhelms the capacity of the vagal brake, the excitement of play quickly turns from fun to fear. Play uses the Social Engagement System to regulate mobilization.

Stillness is a complicated autonomic activity. The challenge is to become still without being pulled into shut down. To become safely still, the dorsal pathway brings immobilization and the ventral pathway adds the sense of connection. These two circuits work together to support experiences of intimacy and social behaviors that require stillness.
