The Keeper's Compass
Your nervous system speaks in colour.
And so does your child’s. Your partner’s. Your clients. Your students.
The Keeper’s Compass gives you a language for the invisible. Helping you recognize dysregulation (and regulation) in yourself and others without blame, shame, or fear.
Built on The Dragon Keeper’s Riding Gauge, this guide explores seven core nervous system states:
Green – Calm
Yellow – Alert
Orange – Frustrated
Red – Explosive
Blue – Low
Grey – Fading
White – Frozen
Each colour is a message- not of failure, but of need. This guide helps you hear it.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Full colour-by-colour breakdowns for adults, kids, and relationships
- Reflections to understand your own dragon’s patterns
- Scripts for co-regulation and communication in each state
- Printable worksheets: “What I Need to Say,” “What Helps Me Most,” “How I Like to Be Supported”
- A framework that works in parenting, therapy, teaching, and real-life emotional storms
This is not a diagnosis manual.
It’s a compass for care. For presence. For riding.
You'll get a colour-coded map of the nervous system designed to help you understand emotional states in yourself and others- without shame. This guide includes breakdowns of seven nervous system colours, a language bank for co-regulation, and reflection pages to personalize your own “dragon map.” It’s an essential tool for riding the waves of emotion with compassion, not control.
