9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Ararêtama is a Tupi-Guarani indian word 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 meaning land of light 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the place from where light is born 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and in this case it is consciousness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is light as consciousness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as awareness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so this awakened consciousness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that has the capacity to choose its destiny 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because destiny comes from design 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so as humanity we have the capacity to design our destiny 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our future from conscious choices 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and Ararêtama is a system that brings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 interfaces and instruments so that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we can make conscious choices for the common good 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The first 7 years happened as this dive into nature 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and in starting to comprehend the gestalt of this research 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 From the second block of 7 years 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I started to design a therapeutic system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 grouping together the researched plants 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 inside of this mandala, Ararêtama Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that was created starting in 1997 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as a process that each one could do 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as a journey of self-discovery 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to work on conditionings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So this issue of conditionings is very important 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to be understood because 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is vital in the comprehension of the Ararêtama system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and of the therapeutic and educational system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that Ararêtama proposes to be 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is important to understand these blocks 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the process of the construction of the Ararêtama system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because these blocks opened ways in the foundation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the process in a very clear way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So the first 7 years 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 were years of a dive into nature 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 absolutely guided by the consiousness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of this magnificent forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I always feel an eternal apprentice of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the mastering of this biodiversity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 teaching me every day to become 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a better human being or at least to look to this path 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and the second block from 7 to 14 years 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the existence of the system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I dedicated myself to design this Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and to position the researched plants 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in a way that made it a journey of self-knowledge 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and to apply this method 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that started to be applied in an effective way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in Brazil, Czech Republic and Slovakia 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so we have effective results of how much 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this process can transform one 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And the third block of 7 years that ends now 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there was all of the search to bring diverse conceptions 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that enriched the system and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 grounded this trajectory and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 these different instruments that were utilized 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So the work on the body for example 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I created a whole meditation work called Emotional Fitness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for the body, this 7-minute meditation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where the bodily affirmations of each one of the virtues 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 bringing the body to participate in this journey 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because the body needs to be present in a learning process 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is very important 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the process becomes more complete 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The production and creation of a whole 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 cosmetic line for the body too 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because, what happens? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Our mind is quantic by itself 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so when I am here telling the story of the system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 while I am here present I am also present 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in my house for instance 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I can also go to my house and come back in 3 seconds 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What does this mean? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It means that the mind does not need to be 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 only present, it can also displace itself 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in time and space 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this is what a quantic mind means 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it does not depend upon being here sitting in the chair 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In order for my emotional body to go 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to my house and come back 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it takes a little more 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because it is more synesthesic 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it comes through sensations 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 My physical body depends upon going home and coming back 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because my mind is quantic and my physical body 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 does not accompany this process at the same time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there is a lag 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and with the cosmetics that were created 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the proposal of the system is to bring 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a knowledge as close to the quantic as possible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that we can go to the new in a more integrated manner 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because sometimes the mind is too accelerated 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and the body gets too tired with this process 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 From 14 to 21 years 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there as a dedication to the creation of products 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a deepening of all the conceptual side 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the development of a whole theoretical and practical side 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that it could be followed with very assertive 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 exercises too 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In this search as educator 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I brought a series of elements to constitute 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the emotional fitness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 bringing a gym academy for behaviour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for the emotional body 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because we understand really well 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the physical body the need for movement 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because what happens if I remain seated 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in this chair for 20 years? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 At the moment when I get up 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I will move my leg and everything will be paralyzed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 atrophied and I will have lots of pain 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 when I move 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What happens with our behaviour? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 When we are born we have in our neuroplasticity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a determined quantity of neurons and neurotransmitters 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because we are neurochemical beings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we respond neurochemically to life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this functioning is very important 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 neuroscience is a very important dimension of science 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for us to comprehend behaviour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We have available a certain amount of neurotransmitters 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and what happens? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it happens that during the first 2 years we 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 sculpt this neuroplasticity in such a manner 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that we leave out a potential of connections 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and consequently future perceptions of reality 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that are not driven due to our conditionings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that come from family, culture, where we are born, live 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is not that this is bad 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this is a a necessary process 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but this does not mean that we cannot work on this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so this sculpture, this sculpted design 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in our neuroplasticity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 makes us look at life from determined points of view 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they end up generating conditionings in our perception 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and we already know that as humans we 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 utilize a mean of 5% of our cerebral and neurochemical capacity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is incontestable that we have a potential of 95% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to be explored 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I want at least 6%, from 5 to 6% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and as an educator I feel an impulse to create 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 possibilites so that we extend from 5 to 5.1, 5.2, 5.3% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So the contribution of the Ararêtama system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is like a little ant that carries a little leaf of the forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and contributes to a bouquet of methodologies 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of all of the fields 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that the human being can evolve using potentials 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that are here to be used but 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 dut to the conditionings are not 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So the Ararêtama Mandala is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a method to exercise this potential 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 As the essences are arranged in a certain way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is like a gym academy when we are to do a circuit 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 when we enter a gym circuit we don't do one movement only 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 50 times and then go home 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and return the next day to do the same movement 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we rather do a chain fo 10 exercises here 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 another there 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and then do a chain with the trunk 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 one with the legs and foot 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So it is by guiding a chain of movements of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 perception of reality where during 7 days 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we are guided by one essence, one virtue, one worldview 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that then we are guided by another perception 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 another worldview and another chain of movements 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of percpetion of reality 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This makes us tone this sculpture 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that I said is designed by our conditionings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that we can flexibilize this line 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because flexibility is one of the keys to evolution 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 without flexibility we have no way to experiment 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our life potential in its diverse properties 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 forms and functions 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If we don't have flexibility there is no way to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 acquire another key to evolution which is life repertoire 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 When we are born we come with a "little bag" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and in this bag there are series of virtues 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 inherent to each one of us 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This bag, we have a way to bring new instruments to it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 new forms of interaction with life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that we can bring and fill this bag with new experiences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we need to be flexible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 otherwise we will always have one type of experience only 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So the Mandala proposes to be a field of experiences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that we can flexibilize and from flexibility 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 fill our field of repertoire 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with possibilities that make us leave from 5% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and can evolve and make good use of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all our potential that is here to be used 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The issue of flexibility is very important 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because we have a tendency to stagnate 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in our internal victims 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so because my father did this, my mother did that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because I did not get food at the right time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so there is a tendency to justify our difficulties 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through events of our childhood 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and without doubt our phisiology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is formed by larger or smaller traumas 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so we are not diminishing profound trauma 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the issue is that we will never be able to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 dissolve the trauma of our biography 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that is an illusion 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they are there, they are even part of our richness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what we are able to do is to integrate this trauma 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to understand this trauma in the light of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a new perception 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 without having to always come back to the same issue 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but to have the capacity to recognise rapidly 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and to integrate to the present and react adequately to events 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In the process of the Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and one of the proposals of this journey 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is the capacity to get in touch with certain deep pains 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but not to remain in this process for too long 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to get in touch and have the capacity to come out 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and to face life in a new moment 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 when entering again, to have diverse tools 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because teh emotional fitness runs 31 essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 31 different ways to face and relate to life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so tehy are 31 new ways and tools inside 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our "little bag" when we end this journey 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so rapidly we exercise entering an issue and coming out 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 diving and coming out 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through these different ways 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So we have the Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with 8 different levels which are 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Origin and this one has to do with our identity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who we are, honoring who we are 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 having space to flow and through our innocence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 without needing to resort to social masks all the time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The second level, Vital Strength 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is to have strength so we can wake up in the morning 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and interact with life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Movement, the third level 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is to perceive life as a platform of experiences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where all that is stagnated is an illusion 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 movement is a principle of life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the movement of our unconscious to the conscious 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as much as from inside ourselves in an interaction with life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Relationship, the fourth level 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because we are social beings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this occupies our thought sphere 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 either because we are in a relationship 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or because we don't, or our relationship is complex 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so we are all the time in this inner dicussion about relations 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the fifth level is Life Experience 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is to perceive that life is an opportunity and that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 many times we through away years of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our existence because we don't perceive 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 opportunities and are always playing victim 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or giving attention to what we don't have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 instead of giving attention to what we have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and amplifying our possibilities 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so coming back to that issue 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the 5% and reaching 6% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And then we have the Cleansing level 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is the capacity we have to discard what has no use 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and to focus on what is indispensable 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to exercise and go from the microcosmos to macrocosmos 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and from macro to micro again 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they are exercises that make us clean the field of priorities 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so we can have Grounding, the next level 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to bring our life projects in a way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that makes us happy in our work 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so we can't suffer with our choices 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and then going to the eigth level 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is Wisdom 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and the concept fo wisdom of the system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is the dance, it is to bring to the heart 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the paradox between the intellect and the instinctual 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and at the Center of the Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have a complex, an essence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is Rudá, which brings the need to metabolize 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our life experiences so we can get the best out of each event 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have a physical metabolic system which is fundamental 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in relation to what we ingest, our food 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because we are not only what we eat 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we also depend on a metabolic system that works 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We have our lives but we are part of a species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the human species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it is very important to understand how habits are 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 incorporated in a species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because from there we can also understand 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 how much we are responsible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for our development, the quality of our relations 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and the quality of this species that we are part of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so we have a choice to make 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we can participate passively because we participate anyway 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 even if we are doing nothing 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or to actively participate in a process of evolution 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So let us understand how a habit is incorporated by a species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Let us imagine that I am a mother monkey in the forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with my monkey puppies 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and suddenly when strolling in the forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 one fruit falls, a new fruit that I had never seen before 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I pick up this fruit, scratch my teeth on it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I hit the fruit on a rock 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I start to interact with this fruit 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and my puppies jump over me 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and by instinct I realize it is not venom 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I start to chew it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and this repeats itself for a day, a week, a year, 5 years 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 until all of the monkeys from nearby groups 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 start to also know that this fruit is eatable 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there is a certain number reached of monkeys that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 when they know this fruit is eatable 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this information is passed on to all of the species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in all of the places in the world 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through an invisible field of information 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is invisible to our field of perception 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but we must understand that our field of perception 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is a field of 5% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so in this invisible filed of information 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the information is passed to the species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and this is called Morphogenetic FIeld 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and one of the great researchers of the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Morphogenetic Fields is Rupert Sheldrake 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 an academic of Cambridge University 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who I had the honor of knowing and accompanying 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in a certain moment of his research 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and today through research he brings the foundations 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of this Morphogenetic Field 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of this field of invisible lines where the information transits 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All of what we don't like in the human being 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that we easily hear in a circle of friends 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "this is absurd! when I read the papers I hear this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 absurd news" etc. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But all of this absurd is part of a human species 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where we are co-producers of this construction of knowledge 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 As educator and human being, mother, friend, companion 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I start to research the ways that can make the human 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a better human being 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I start by bringing the issue that was very well 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 explored by the Sufis 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 First of all of the 3 centers of the formation of personalities 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is the Instinctive, the Emotional and the Intellectual 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So there are many issues that intellectually 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we can ground ina a brilliant way and that we can feel 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in our emotional center 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but the great problem is when we get to the instinctual center 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because instinctively we are beings that separate 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 ourselves from one another 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 by the issue of sameness 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we separate by clans and culture 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you don't see white cows and black cows 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 separated in the field by colour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but you see human beings separating based on colour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is in the instinct of the human being 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The only way we can work on the instinctual 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I don't know another 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I am not closed to other ways 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I am only saying that the system brings this contribution 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is through a conscious way, a daily choice 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of what one wants from life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and from this conscious choice 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Ararêtama system proposes a work on the 3 Ecologies 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 How can I work on myself 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 becoming a better being at every moment? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is the 1st Ecology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 How can I deal with my relations making them 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 qualitatively better through choice, too? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is the 2nd Ecology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 How can I bring to the community where I live 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the society I am part of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a reflection of my actions and thinking 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the community in a positive way? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is the 3rd Ecology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 How can I contribute? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If I become a better human being I am already contributing 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to the 3rd Ecology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If I make my relations better I am already contributing 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to the 3rd Ecology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and if I do something for this society 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I also contribute to the 3rd Eoclogy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So this is a model where by incorporating 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the vibrational and floral essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 when I bring the essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I bring an interface of the intelligence of this biodiversity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 inside our neurochemical field 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so that it can be a help to our evolutionary process 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If this forest was able to solve a serious problem of survival 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 on an infertile soil, constructing a complex web of life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where 75% of the active life on this forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 rests on the tree crowns that comes from this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 social and biological intelligence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so when I bring this intelligence inside of my physiology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I learn with it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 also the way to solve this relation with my inner complexity 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with my shadows, my dichotomies, my paradoxes 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is a difficulty 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is our richness but at the same time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 our paradoxes can be obstacles to growth 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so when I propose diverse mandalas 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as ways to exercise perception and behaviour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I propose an exercise of life to a process of evolution 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that is personal, social and planetary 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The first Mandala, the original one 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the Ararêtama system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is the heart of this methodology 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that gives origin to the Basic Course 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and is a program made as a process of rebirth 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it has the duration of approximately 10 months 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where the essences are incorporated in the process 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it can be made in 2 ways 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 One as a passive mode where you simply take the essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and observe the results 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and the second way which I find more complete 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is that when taking the essences you are 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 at the same time paying attention and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 exercising to become the virtue of the essence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is a work in the formation of this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 methodology that comes from the research 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 on transpersonal psychology of Stan Grof 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which has foundations in the dramaturgy coming 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 from shamanism because dramaturgy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 ha as initial source, shamanism 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the performance and dances in relation to the humours 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the Earth, are perfomratic processes in ancestral 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and more primitive cultures 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they give birth to the dramaturgy and theatre 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so this is also an aspect that can and I recommend it to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 be incorporated in the journey of the Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the sense of becoming that virtue for 7 days 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so it is a conscious exercise 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where you teach your reaction meachanism to life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to have new ways to deal with the events of life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is a known fact that all that is alive communicates 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 communicates between themselves 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so the human being has an arrogance of thinking that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it possesses the most sophisticated forms of communication 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or sometimes even that only humans communicate 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Nature communicates all the time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and all of the research and production fo the floral 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and vibrational essences take into account 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the communication of virtues 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the messages that are brought by this nature 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 When we reasearch and produce an essence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we collect messages coming through these plants 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that are intelligences of the ecosystems 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In The Secret Life of Plants, a book published 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a few decades ago 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 researches were reported to be made in an university in India 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 whith scientists putting electrodes on plants 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and these plants communicating through sound 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So it is very important to understand that the floral 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and vibrational essences can also be understood 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through mathematics 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So when I report that at the beginning of my experience 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the portal that is opened through a liana that communicates 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or through a mushroom that speaks 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I consciously choose to bring to the world 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this speech a as if it were a child reporting an experience 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because when I bring the child I bring the portal of innocence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 when I connect to the portal of innocence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I reach the language of the heart 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The Mandala can be travelled 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 many times during a lifetime 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so it is not a process we run through once and that is it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is a method that can be worked on innumerous times 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I have facilitators of the system that have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 travelled the Mandala 10 or 12 times 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because at each moment, new content emerges 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And when I cite the transpersonal influence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in teh process of the construction of the Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is related to rebirth and gestation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have issues that are absorbed during gestation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 especially fusion phases with the mother 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that end up being printed in the physiology of our behaviour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that emerge during the process of taking the essence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I have a case of a person whose mother suffered 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a possibility of aborting during her 3rd month of gestation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and when this person reached the 3rd month of the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Mandala, some impulses came and wishes to abort 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the work and to stop doing the Mandala 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of wanting to change work and end relationships 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so it is very interesting how it arises processes 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that are printed from a long time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So teh Mandala is a filed of possibilities of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 transformation and self-knowledge that is very multiple 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It is important to understand the difference 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 among the fields of allopathy, homeopathy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and floral and vibrational essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In allopathy we have the presence of 100% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 biochemical elements 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so when we buy a tablet and analyse it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have 100% of inserted products in the tablet 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In homeopathy we have biochemical presence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but in more elevated potencies 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have the presence of information through waves 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because we study in quantum physics life in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the form of matter or wave 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in quantic bioogy which is the study in loco 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in nature and not in the lab 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as it is in quantum physics 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have the presence of matter AND energy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they are different states of a same manifestation of life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So in allopathy we have 100% biochemical presence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in homeopathy we have half biochemical and half 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with potentializations, the presence of information through wave 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it si also where phytotherapy fits, with the presence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of organic material 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and in vibrational and floral essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we only have the information 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the virtue of the plant 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in an imprint on water which is an excellent conductor 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of information 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but it is through waves 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Waves of knowledge that are absorbed by water 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So they are waves of information printed on water 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and we can understand this mathematically 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In allopathy, phytotherapy and part of homeopathy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have the presence of 1.0, an integral presence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in vibrational and floral therapy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we enter into fractions 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 waves are 0.0001 of biochemical presence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and this is the mathematical reproduction 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the waves imprinted on water 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and water becomes the matrix of this source 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of knowledge and wisdom 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that then is transformed into bottles and products 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So when I choose to speak about the experience 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the forest in a pure way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is like voices that talk to me 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 like when children spontaneously interact 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the diverse dimensions of expression of life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is not because one can't speak in another way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I can say that the information arrived through 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 some signs coming from the nature of a plant 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because communication happens and this is a study 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of decades in universities all over the world 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the fact that the human being thinks 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this is magic or sorcery 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is absolute ignorance of the researches made 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for several years already 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So in quantum physics labs 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in quantum biology labs 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Bruce Lipton, Rupert Sheldrake 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and various researches bring this knowledge 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the issue is that there is a discrepancy 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 between what exists as research and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what is taught in didactic books at schools 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in biology, and the quantity of information 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that teachers have nowadays in relation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to research that is done 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I consider Ararêtama and the contribution 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it has in society 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that which moves me when I receive testimonies 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that sometimes come from inner Brazil 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or from cities of the Czech Republic 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or from places in England 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with gratitude for having made use of the essences 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and of the system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for having surpassed very difficult things 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I owe my trajectory and my contribution to society 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to my group of friends with whom I coexist 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for more than 30 years 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I am certain that this style fo life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this choice made at the beginning of post-adolescence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this wonderful partnership of life that I have with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Susana Maiani, an architect, a wizard jeweller 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a Nagual, a person that brings such 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 an uncommom existential love 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this partnership with her and Mauro Liberali 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who today goes with me many times to the forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a very important presence after Zac passed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Ricardo Airoza, Daisy, Irene, Michel 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so all of this pool of friends thati I have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that I can bring a deep thanks to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for having had the opportunity to choose 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to live with a group of friends that today 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is on the 3rd generation in this coexistence 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it is a great challenge 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but I believe it is the contribution of this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 intelligence of the forest together 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with the coexistence in community 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is a small contribution to society 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but I think that if each person brings their little leaf 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it is possible for us to produce incredible things in the planet 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I feel very awarded by this choice and friends I have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 How did I get to the Czech Republic? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Well, in 1997 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I will tell a little about my trajectory in foreign countries 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I started the process of getting in touch 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and deepening myself in the forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 starting at the beginning of the 1990's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and launched the system from 1992 to 1993 in Holland 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and Belgium and later in England 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 From there the system spread 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and in 1997 I went to represent Brazil 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 at the Findhorn Conference in Scotland 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and when I got there I decided to do 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a ludic game 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I got a pendulum and the conference catalog 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I asked the catalog 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "Catalog, catalog of mine 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who of the people present here 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is related to my life destiny?" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I got the pendulum and managed it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And to all of my friends and representatives at the time 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the pendulum said No 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It made big No's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They were really present people in my life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This way I went with the pendulum running No 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 until it made a big Yes on the name of a person 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Cale Carson, a producer of essences from Hawai'i 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and lived at the island of Kaua'i 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I had never heard of him 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and he was also not part of the main conference presenters 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I thought, I will look for this person 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I put the catalog under my arm 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and asked many people in teh following days 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 hey do you know this person? and noboby knew 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 then on one of the days there was a presentation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the people that were not main presenters at the conference 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I entered the room and sat on a vacant chair 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and asked the person to my side with the catalog 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "Do you know this person by any chance?" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And he showed his hand and said "It's me." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And there we established relations and contact for a year 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and he invited me a yearlater to give a workshop in Kaua'i 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 at his house 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and when I was arriving at the island at his house 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 an email came from an email from Prague 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 asking him if he recommended another system beyong his 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and he said Sandra from Brazil is arriving at my house 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I will put you in touch with her 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This way for a year I was in touch with this therapist 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 until he invited me to teach the first course 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 at the Czech Republic 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and this way my trajectory started there 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and he was a therapist that later 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 tried to steal my brands and register them in his name 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but after a juridical process 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Sirkova like a little warrior got the system in her hand 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 together with Veronika Sablova in the Czech Republic 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and Slovakia 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and with this a work vortex was created that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is very efficient in Eastern Europe 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It was there too that I met Bea Benkova and Jan Polak 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who are 2 work partners 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Bea came to a workshop and at the time she worked at a bank 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and she never imagined her trajectory 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of creating a whole work for extraordinary women 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and later giving origin to Diphil Institute 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 whose main nucleus and conception brings 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all of the virtue of the atantic forest 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the contruction of a new planetary culture 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The conception of the Institute and the idea 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the issue of the metaphor of the star that constructs 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the constellations, bringing this as a model of leadership 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The 3 Ecologies as a focus of work on 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the personal, social and planetary improvement 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 weas incorporated by the Institute but has its origin 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the methodology of the Araretama system 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Today, Araretama is present in diverse institutions 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and NGOs, helping these communities to work on traumas 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and to transform the biographies of children, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 giving them possibilities for concentration, study, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and an emotional dignity making them more apt 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to deal with the current world. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We are developing a methodology for childrenm based on 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the Atlantic Forest. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We work on leadership for the 21st century, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with leaders working from this model of the forest, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 tranforming teams into a community of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 biodiversities of talents of co-management.
