Free public domain CC0 photo. More: View public domain image source here At some point in my life my relationship with food changed radically. Somewhere along the line, I became convinced that I had too many toxins in me and began a series of radical detoxes that all but one were based on drastic elimination of food groups and monophagy. All were also based on some old healing method that had obvious results or a newer version of an old therapy principle as it had been translated into our modern lifestyle. They were all wonderful in their own right. They provided me with excellent clarity, health, loss of excess weight, a strong body and of course detoxification. I am not sure exactly what I detoxed from, perhaps I was eventually…

Anger, Sadness and Panaceia

Red Boots
Clear goals in my life were largely set at a young age. Tangible life stages with visible impact and form: studies, profession, relationships with others, children, financial independence, continuous education, entertainment, travel, etc. But also intangible pursuits of mental well-being based mainly on values: how I live my life, how I stand in different life situations, how I navigate dilemmas, how I envision and realize who I am, how I invest my vital energy, how I face death, etc. Apparently many of these seemed relatively simple affairs; I was studying for my studies, working for my profession, planning for my travels, and so on. As long as the goals were modest and ordinary, a rational preparation and a basic planning, together with the simplicity of the circumstances around them usually…

Sex Emanicipation

Sex Emanicipation

Red Boots
What is a woman? What is a man? What is a Woman? What is a Man? Is there a difference between the same sex or the other sex? Being a woman or a man is not coincident, an accident of nature or of misfortune. It is not something defined by human logic or human intervention. Human participation in general is needed to procreate but how many couples do you know that would like to have a child but are unable too? We don’t give birth to ourselves. We do not control life or death. We do not define our biological gender and we are not the Creator of that mystery called the miracle of Life. Lately, we believe we could change it all. With very costly and medical induced support…

The First Movement of Healing

The First Movement of Healing

Red Boots
The first movement of healing is to see your issue, the thing that bothers you, that thing that messes up your sleep, keeps you awake or make you lying in bed all day on Sundays. Seeing what the whole fuss is all about into your heart is a minute second of a second movement that gives you instantly clarity of presence. You see it and you are free. The simplicity of it though it is not understood by the mind; suspicious of all that ease and time expediency from request to answer, will probably give you a hard time, especially if you are a strong thinker, a tireless researcher or a devoted wisdom lover. Thoughts after thoughts, questions after questions and doubts after doubts will build now layers of uncertainty…

When your name comes

When your name comes

Red Boots
When I was born it was decided that I would take the name of my grandmother from my father’s side, which was something quite common in the place I was born. Although this has been a tradition for as long as people were giving birth in this land, a movement of ancestral homage to the lineage before them, it is a movement that encloses systemic risks. Taking the name of one of your ancestors potentially means that you are also assuming part of that ancestor’s fate; the good and the bad parts, the qualities but also the hurdles, the agonies, the systemic entanglements. In a way it is like a heritage that you embody unknowingly because you have recognized and accepted another person’s history and presence. I believe that none…
