Body Map

Where the body holds what the mind has explained away

Stress, emotional pain and trauma are stored in the nervous system and the body, not just the mind. The body map is how we find where.

The plane it happens on

Spiritual work on the plane of the nervous system

Much of what we carry lives in the nerves, our wiring for survival, connection and expression. When the vagus nerve and other pathways are overworked or shut down, the body stays locked in patterns of stress and bracing. This work helps the system feel safe enough to soften again.

Vagus nerve
A main pathway that helps the body regulate heart rate, digestion, breath and the sense of safety.
Trigger energy
What we follow to identify where the blocks sit in the body.

Draft New seven-centre diagram, in for review. The wording differs from the table it replaces in a few places, and its labels are part of the image rather than text on the page.

What the body and emotions are saying

Not a checklist, and not a diagnosis. A symptom belongs with your physician; this work sits alongside medical care, never in place of it.

Spirituality is not religion

This is spiritual work, not religious work. We do not use religious doctrine to define what is true for you.

Spirituality is not belief. It is the direct experience of connection with life, within you and around you. It shows up as meaning, compassion, awe, inner guidance and the sense that you belong.

The same idea, older words

It is not a new claim

“Seek first the Kingdom of God… The Kingdom of God is within you.”Jesus of Nazareth
“The Lord resides in the hearts of all beings…”The Bhagavad Gita
A conversation, not a commitment
