"Economic trends and events affect both individuals and their communities profoundly—both in the immediate short-term (e.g., economic downturns or spikes in oil process) and the potential or long-term (e.g., the end of economic growth or a sharp decline in available fossil fuels). Because the state of the economy typically is perceived as closely associated with security and well-being, economic events and trends can engender emotional and physiological responses that affect what people and groups pay attention to. That is, how they act and react, what they understand—even what they are able to understand. "
"Survey results indicate a strong, if not fully defined, relationship between perception of economic crisis and personal somatic functioning. In addition, they indicate several types of responses that may provide insight into common dispositions and symptoms of the “activist” or “progressive” community. These people — particularly some subgroups and segments — could be more effectively engaged and activated by utilizing somatic-based techniques to increase association, receptivity, and other integrative functions that accelerate regenerative change."
