UMOJA RISING IBD

Sinopse

What if the path to healing requires unlearning everything youâÇÖve been taught about your own mind?áFor generations, Western psychology has positioned itself as the ultimate authority on human consciousness-diagnosing, treating, and defining what it means to be mentally well. But for those with spirit-first worldviews, this framework often deepens disconnection rather than fostering true liberation.áUmoja Rising: Decolonizing the Seven Layers of Self offers a radical alternative.áDrawing from West African spiritual traditions-particularly the Yoruba concept of Ori (divine consciousness)-and integrating cutting-edge insights from psychology and education, author and school psychologist Chase presents a transformative framework for mental liberation and spiritual literacy. This book dismantles psychologyâÇÖs role as political technology and reclaims ancient wisdom that prioritizes internal authority over external dependence.áInside, youâÇÖll discover:The Seven Layers of Self and how to navigate them for genuine transformationHow to build spiritual literacy and discernment rooted in cultural sovereigntyWhy traditional therapeutic models often fail spirit-first communities-and what to do insteadPractical frameworks for educators, mental health professionals, and seekers committed to decolonizationTools for recognizing and resisting systemic oppression while cultivating abundanceáUmoja Rising is not about adding African concepts to Western psychology-itâÇÖs about liberating consciousness from colonial frameworks entirely. Whether youâÇÖre a mental health professional seeking culturally sovereign approaches, an educator working with marginalized communities, or someone reclaiming your spiritual birthright, this book provides the foundation for authentic healing.áItâÇÖs time to trust your own inner knowing. Your Ori has been waiting.
