The central eye represents the body, mind and environmental context (BME) and the peripheral eye represents the context of an observer/experiencer of that content. Within Prakriti, resilience is represented by the capacity to recognize and shift states, as well as changing the relationship to the fluctuations of the gunas (rajas/tamas/sattva) and neural platforms (sympathetic nervous system (SNS)/dorsal vagal complex (DVC)/ventral vagal complex (VVC)). Yoga aims to facilitate the emergence of qualities such as eudaimonia by strengthening the experience of sattva and VVC as well as developing facility in moving between gunas and neural platforms and changing the relationship and response to the inherent changing nature of the body, mind and environment reflected in gunas and neural platforms.
