The Past and the Future Are Transformed in the Present
Certain patterns express themselves through human existence again and again, seeking to transform into more refined and fluid forms. Violence, separation, inequality, stagnation, exploitation, and the objectification of people, nature, and animals manifest themselves from within our cells to the reality we observe beyond ourselves. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake proposes that living systems do not store […]
Why Do I Do What I Do?
As a child, I grew up in a seemingly “normal” family and was very fortunate in some respects. I had the opportunity to attend good schools, play sports, be surrounded by knowledge and culture, live between the beach and the mountains, eat well, and have friends. But I don’t remember feeling normal. I don’t remember […]

The Invisible Origin of Violence: The Wound That Needs to Be Seen
Violence in all its forms is carried out by human beings who were once children full of life, curiosity and hope, children who needed protection, care, affection and a safe environment in which to grow and develop their individuality, their unique way of being and contributing to the world. Children raised by adults who were […]
Addicted to addiction: Breaking the cycle
I dedicate this article to all those who have not yet found peace within themselves, and to those who are on their way to finding it. Do not give up. Because it is possible. Addictive behaviours do not always take socially recognised forms such as smoking, alcoholism, or other substance dependencies. Sometimes they hide behind […]
The Expression of Trauma Through the Senses
Trauma does not always express itself as a clear, organised and verbal memory. Very often, it remains active as a sensory response: a voice that contracts the body, a smell that triggers alarm, a gaze that evokes shame, a touch that provokes rejection, a posture that activates defence, or an internal sensation that the organism […]
The Sophistication of Self-Deception
Without realizing it, we begin to distance ourselves from who we are. It doesn’t happen all at once, but gradually and silently. We learn to calibrate what we feel, think, and express in order to preserve connection, avoid rejection, or fit into our environment. Over time, this adaptation ceases to be a strategy and becomes […]
“Wellaging” sin alma: el vacío silencioso
Social media, the media, and much of the public conversation are saturated with longevity strategies, advanced aesthetics, supplements, and habits that promise to keep us young and “healthy” under the umbrella of well-ageing. Caring for the body or taking pleasure in beauty is not the issue — I value it and practise it —; the […]
Adolescence: Supporting Beyond the Need for Control
Adolescence is an intense and transformative stage. Our brain goes through a period of significant change: emotions and the drive to explore intensify, while the area responsible for planning, decision-making and emotional regulation is still refining its development. This explains impulsivity, intense reactions and the need to experiment. From a neurobiological perspective, adolescence spans approximately […]
Genes, Consciousness, and Transformation: An Evolutionary Perspective on the Human Being
For a long time, the idea prevailed that our biology and destiny were defined by genetic inheritance. This deterministic view began to crumble with the Human Genome Project, which revealed that the number of human genes is far lower than expected and that they do not operate in isolation or automatically. Far from being a […]
