Restore Wellbeing

Ancestral Healing Practices for Daily Living

Stress is always a mind-body experience, and always a function the Autonomic Nervous System. In a world where four out of five doctor visits are stress-related, the deepest levers that govern your wellbeing are no further away than your own autonomic state.

In RESTORE WELLBEING pioneering ancestral neuroscientist Natureza Gabriel presents simple ancestral autonomic nervous system practices for transforming our nervous system base- lines. These are things you can do from home, many of which are free, and are designed to change the inputs to the deepest layers of our nervous system, moving us in the direction of deep restoration.

They include awareness practices, sensory practices, movement practices, creative practices, craft practices, insights, and perceptual shifts, poetically described with jewel-like clarity. Most of them are very simple. Rather than setting aside time apart from our daily lives, RESTORE WELLBEING harnesses the things that we do each day– from getting dressed, to paying attention to patterns of sunlight, to the sensory qualities of our sheets– to intentionally provide new and organizing inputs to the nervous system.

A practical catalog of practices easily within reach, RESTORE WELLBEING harnesses the texture of the everyday to help carry us home.

This book is part of the Autonomics RESTORATION series for nervous system healing.
