It lives inside the rhythms we are forced to follow, the pace our bodies are trained to endure, the emotional range we are taught to suppress, and the forms of “productivity” we are pressured to perform. Michael Yellow Bird’s work on neurodecolonization opened the door for us to see how deeply colonialism shapes the nervous system. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.To decolonize the nervous system is not a metaphor. It is physiological, relational, and cosmological work. It asks us to restore the cadences we lost to speed, scarcity, and survival. It calls us back to the body as the first site of truth.If the body remembers how to feel, empire loses one of its oldest technologies.If this resonates, Chasing Consciousness goes much deeper. The book exposes how empire infiltrates the body, rewires our nervous systems, and convinces us to mistake survival patterns for our true selves. It also maps the practices that help us return to clarity, coherence, and collective power. Preorder your copy today & support a comrade who just got out of 19 months of state suppression.
