Today I received an email from Katie Dove where she wrote about the nervous system—about the many tools, methods, and techniques we’re offered to regulate, manage, or fix what’s happening inside us. And then she named something gently but powerfully: not all nervous system work is relational.
This landed deeply for me.
Through sitting with Katie in her classes, I’ve come to recognize an important truth in my healing journey: information, knowledge, and wisdom are not the same. As a curious being who loves learning, I read a lot and research the subjects I’m immersed in. And yet, I always reach a moment when my nervous system says, “Enough.”
Here is where the sensitivity I’ve been learning to nurture comes in. A better approach. A better way of forming inquiry. A better way of relating to myself. More grace, more space, more acceptance of what is.
I love Katie’s work because she teaches through embodiment, not through dry information. This feels especially precious in a time when we’re flooded with endless content that often overwhelms our systems rather than supports them. Working with her brings one’s own wisdom alive. She teaches how to relate, not how to train. A living process instead of problem-solving. A focus on the health that is already present.
We are all different, and so our paths to health will look different too. Finding the right people to relate with matters deeply—because wherever we place our attention, our life energy flows. Health doesn’t come only from eating well, exercising, or sleeping enough, but also from our ability to return to our baseline in the midst of a busy world.
I’ve recorded an interview with Katie, which you can watch on my YouTube channel. And starting February 4th, you can also join her signature course, Source Regulation and experience her work directly.
May you be held, softened, and nurtured by her work in the way I’ve been.
Sat Nam,
