In this tour-de-force from ancestral neuroscience pioneer Natureza Gabriel, learn to grasp and move the deepest and most powerful levers that govern your moment-to-moment experience of wellbeing.
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 pioneering volume, 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.

“The origin story of human connectedness is not frozen in deep time. It is here, alive, in our present-now, with pulse and with resonance so deep that in somehow coming into contact with this book, I am simultaneously coming more into contact with this pulse. Gabriel’s ability to dissolve limiting paradigms allows the reader to dissolve them, too - reconfiguring our own origin story. This is a book for any human interested in vitality, interested in decoding wellbeing, and interested in coming home.”

“Neurobiology of Connection is a book we all need—a user’s manual for our nervous systems. Brilliantly insightful and practical, we can learn to understand why we are the way we are moment-to-moment, meet our needs in ways that heal old traumas, and enhance deep connection with other humans and the world around us. Gabriel brings together material from indigenous cultures, neuroscience, neurochemistry, mindfulness, somatically-informed trauma work, Polyvagal Theory, and literature, combined with attention to his inner world, in order to create an updated model of the Autonomic Nervous System. I have made so many changes to the way I teach, and my students are loving it!”

“Gabriel has waved a poetic wand over off-putting medical-speak and pulled the curtain back on the divine delighting herself in her magic shop. In this monumental work that is being constructed through him, I get to press my nose against that glass. I tell people the work Gabriel is conducting is the science behind safety. Bravo maestro! A Slam Dunk.”
