Awakening the Lattice
The 1st Four Pillars
What we have been doing with Jeffrey Thompson’s technology is giving your nervous system a direct experience of coherence.
Awakening the Lattice builds upon that by helping your whole body-mind remember how to stay in that coherence — not just during a session, but in daily life.
In Awakening the Lattice, we work with what I call the Four Intelligences of your inner system. These aren’t ideas or concepts — they’re living intelligences within you that shape how you regulate, recover, and reconnect with yourself.
1. Somatic Intelligence
This is your body’s felt sense — your fascia, breath, and subtle sensations.
When Somatic Intelligence comes back online, the body shifts from holding and bracing to softening and orienting, which is the first doorway back into self-regulation.
2. Emotional Intelligence
This is the intelligence of flow, permission, and expression.
We don’t “manage” emotions here. Instead, we help the system remember that emotions are movements of energy through the body — waves that can rise and fall without overwhelming you.
This brings a profound lowering of internal pressure.
3. Mind Intelligence
Mind Intelligence is not the thinking mind or narrative mind.
It’s the organizing, meaning-making, pattern-recognizing intelligence of the system.
When Mind Intelligence comes back online:
- the mind stops hijacking regulation
- thinking becomes supportive instead of controlling
- interpretation softens
- clarity replaces rumination
It’s the mind returning to its right relationship with the body and emotions.
4. Consciousness Intelligence
This is the spacious, wise, steady part of you — the part that can observe, hold, and guide the rest of the system. (the capacity to be present without collapse or bracing)
It’s not mystical; it’s natural.
When this intelligence awakens, people describe feeling a greater sense of choice, clarity, and inner alignment, almost like they can suddenly “see from a higher floor.”
How These Four Intelligences Support IC Self-Regulation
As the four intelligences begin to reconnect and communicate, something essential happens:
Your internal system remembers how to self-regulate from the inside out.
Instead of relying on willpower or effort, your body begins to naturally:
- downshift out of fight-or-flight,
- track safety instead of threat,
- release stored survival responses,
- and return to its original rhythm of coherence.
Awakening the Lattice doesn’t impose something new on the body.
It restores what was already there —
the body’s capacity to regulate, repair, and reorganize itself when given the right internal conditions.
IC = Inner Coherence
Inner Coherence
Is the state in which the body, emotions, mind, and consciousness are communicating and regulating together as one integrated system.
It is not a technique.
It is not a belief.
It is a physiological–somatic–neural state.
When Inner Coherence is present:
- the nervous system feels oriented and safe
- the body is not bracing
- emotions can move without overwhelming
- the mind is clear, quiet, and supportive
- awareness is present rather than fragmented
In other words:
the system is no longer fighting itself.
