Most of the health outcomes in your life will be determined by a part of your nervous system that most people know nothing about. The Autonomic Nervous System is the neurological architecture of the mind-body connection and has the strongest shaping force of any biological system over our lived felt experience. Through coordinated activity of three primary neural systems (Connection, Movement, Grounding) combined with neurochemistries produced by our embodied detection of safety, danger, or lifethreat, it governs how our attention works, shapes our embodied experience, our sense of self, our emotional range, the way we think, the way we perceive the world around us, and how we behave. Because modernity has deviated so far from our ancestral baseline in safety and connection, we have, as a society, totally lost the neurologically ancestral recipe for flourishing, and find ourselves exiled in a landscape of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection.
In this tour-de-force by ancestral neuroscience pioneer Natureza Gabriel, the Developer of Autonomics, learn to grasp and move the deepest and most powerful levers that govern your moment-to-moment experience of wellbeing.
Accompany Gabriel through a profound re-orientation from abstract cognition (I think, therefore I am) back to your embodied felt experience (I feel myself, therefore I am), and learn to provide your deep nervous system the connection nourishment it requires to activate thriving. Walk through five doorways to enduring wellbeing: learn how safety turns on the neurobiology of connection, connection activates grounded interoception, interoception births intuition, intuition sparks relatedness, and relatedness returns us to enduring wellbeing. What you hold in your hands is nothing less than a transformational compass for coming home to the truest coordinates of your thriving.
Gabriel, Natureza: - Natureza Gabriel (né Gabriel Kram) is the principal neural architectof Autonomics, a cutting-edge & ancestral update to our understandingof living autonomic physiology, which he has developed over 30years of trans-disciplinary study and research with input from wellover 5,000 wellness professionals, and 100 mentors and advisors from25 lineages of healing in 24 cultures. His mind was trained at Yaleand Stanford Universities, his heart has been educated in ceremoniesand circles. He has spent 30 years studying connection through thelenses of neuroscience, mindful awareness, social justice, deep natureconnection, non-cognitive ways of knowing, Indigenous Lifeways, and cultural linguistics.He is Founder and CEO of Hearth Science: a translation researchfirm pioneering the union of neurophysiology and ancestral awarenessto turn on the deepest drivers of human wellbeing. He is theprincipal architect of the Autonomic Treatment Atlas, a proprietarydiagnostics and treatment software platform that centralizes autonomicphysiology in the diagnosis and treatment of stress-relateddisorders and the creation of enduring wellbing. He is Host andExecutive Producer of The Restorative Practices Film Series, The ConnectionMasterclass, Evoking Connection States, and Lectures on the NewFoundation Model in Autonomics. In autumn 2023 has was asked tolead the global Polyvagal Study Group on Facebook. He has beenasked to teach Autonomics to people in 50 countries, executives inFortune 500 companies, the faculty of medical schools, governments, international NGOs, and tribal leaders. He is the author of the ConnectionPhenomenology Series. This is his tenth book. He lives in Northern California with his family, where he tends the forest.
