Intellectual System

Through 2.5 million years of evolution, humans have developed the part of our brain that sets us apart from every other living species.  Our Neocortex is where we create meaning, rationality, future thinking, and language.  Our ability to learn and understand our own patterns and behaviours can be such an integral part of transformation.  We can use our own minds to create more self understanding while also being able to access our subconscious mind through tools like NLP and CBT.

Emotional System

Our mammalian brain and limbic system is where emotions are generated and processed (or unprocessed).  Working in this system allows for emotional fluidity where we are no longer being controlled by our emotions, nor trying to control them.  Instead, we strive to feel and process our emotions as they come.  It can be remarkable just how quickly some disempowering behaviours fade away if we are not avoiding certain emotions by distracting ourselves through these behaviours. “Joy is the matriarch of a family of emotions, and she won’t enter your house unless all her children are welcome.” – Joe Hudson

Nervous System

Our reptilian brain is home to our vital life functions like heart rate, temperature and hormone regulation, as well as respiration.  The breath is the unlocked front door to the nervous system that we all have access to whenever we desire.  Much of modern society is in a state of constant stress and stimulation, which ends negatively contributing to our mental and physical health.  A disregulated nervous system shows up in every aspect of our mind and body.  It changes the way we breathe which then starts to wreck havoc on our physiology and psychology.  We can’t control our nervous system, but we can control our breath, and our breath controls our nervous system.
