The nervous system as your inner universe
Most of us were never taught that the nervous system is something we can have a relationship with. We were taught that it operates automatically, beneath the threshold of conscious influence, doing its job of keeping us alive while we get on with the business of living.
Your spine is not just a structure - it's a story
We tend to think of the spine in purely mechanical terms, as the column that holds us upright and the structure that protects the spinal cord running through it.
But the spine is also the literal housing of your central nervous system, and your nervous system is the organ through which all of your experience, every perception, every emotion, every threat response and moment of deep safety, has ever moved.
