Meditating with another human being can be profoundly intimate. There's sharing physical space, and then there's sharing psychic space. When two nervous systems attune, something opens between them that neither could access alone. Silent co-regulation is biology learning to

Somatic therapy isn’t “woo-woo,” and nervous system regulation has nothing to do with “being calm.” The goal is to train your capacity: Learning to stay in your body while dissociation pulls you out, to feel instead of numb, and to re-associate the moment your system wants to

Your nervous system remembers things your mind doesn’t. Triggers make no logical sense. They’re somatic memories asking to be released.

The day I realized every relationship is a mirror was the day I found freedom. Good or bad, conscious or unconscious—what you see in others reflects something in you. Their strengths and flaws hold echoes of your own. This must be accepted on the path to Wisdom.

Training the nervous system is the most important thing you'll ever do. It's your container for energy. Those blessings and goals you're working toward? They require a deep foundation. Without it, self-sabotage is inevitable.

Your nervous system doesn't just respond to what happens to you—it responds to who you believe you are. If you identify as "an anxious person" or "someone who's always tired," your body will organize itself around that identity. Always be mindful of your language. Your nervous
