Over the last years, I have spent time in different countries, simplified my life and recently been a mum. I have been practising meditation and studying Tibetan Buddhism philosophy for more than seven years. This involvement increased my interest in the relationship between meditation, ethics and emotions. It was then when my attention shifted towards human development, meditation, and wellbeing.
Before becoming a Mindfulness Teacher, I developed a professional career in People and Organizations Development and Leadership with experience in Spain and China. After all those years, I experienced, like many others, how much stress and emotional unbalance affected my professional and personal life, my health and welfare. Since I practise and teach meditation, I realize that it is fantastic training to connect with our deepest feelings and values, to learn how to calm our selves and see things happening from a different outlook.
Mostly in India, UK and Spain, I attended meditation retreats and courses taught by prestigious teachers like Alan Wallace, Eve Ekman or Glen Svenson and others well-known Buddhist teachers like Geshe Lhakdor, Lama Rinchen, and Venerable Lobsang Namgyel. In 2016, I had the privilege of attending to Cultivating Emotional Balance Teachers Training focused on emotions and meditation based on the latest scientific research, taught by influential teachers in the field as are Eve Ekman and Allan Wallace. At that moment is when I could explore more how emotions affect our deep will and values.
In 2017, I began the Mindfulness Teacher training with the Mindfulness Association in UK in London and Scotland, an organization of which I am a member and from which I receive ongoing training. To deepen into my training and personal meditation practice, in 2018 I began two years training as a Buddhist Meditation Instructor with Lama Rinchen Gyaltsen. It gave me greater knowledge of the origins of Mindfulness and its practical and philosophical foundations. In addition, to have deepen my personal practice allows me to transmit from my own experience in the courses I guide.
It is observed that there is an inner conflict between values and emotions that is a big part of our structural morality and in every moment is shaping our character as a person but also as a community, drawing at the same time our culture. Hence the importance of living with the emotional and ethical self-knowledge and awerness, it is necessary to align values and behavior.
I focus my main interest on contributing, through meditation, to the ethical and emotional people´s development. Learn to live in tune with our values and interests, and recognize our power to positively impact ourselves, our environment, families, friends and even strangers. In short, to become the main agents of our lives and recognize the importance of our existence both in the present and in the future.
