Turning off cancer and switching on your life

I am interested in what wants to be born,  in the untouched health behind illness,  in the depth that shows itself on the surface of the world,  in the evolutionary playful impulse behind all creation, YES, behind you also, behind the illness particularly.  illness as an opportunity to let light through the cracks. I am curious about the mystery that meets me in every encounter, I want to know all that is looked behind bars and keys. I want to open all doors and walk every step of my path , dive, reach, jump, carve, forge, shake and dance. I believe the world is ready for a unprecedented r-evolution, the r-evolution of self responsibility, interdependence and co-creation. I think we are all discovering at one  that it is more fun and easy all together. I feel that feminine power and global consciousness together with a radical commitment to embody and live from the personal truth and collective contribution is going to create a coming renaissance of unimaginable creativity and communal well-being. I crave for a crowd ,  better an organized tribe , that cares about illuminating the dark places , injustice to be eradicated, and resources to be distributed more egalitarian, and as I look around I see a world that is changing rapidly toward new ways of living in the same shared planet-home,  spaceship mother Earth. I believe cancer is not only genes gone arbitrarily mad, but a toxic environment, a toxic relationship with self and world, and a lost sense  of where all this abundant proliferation of information, goodies and Facebook friends is going when we had lost grasp of who we are here and now. In my experience we all need inspiration and encouragement to heal and thrive after been hurt and touched by illness, then we gather up, we recover the broken dreams, and we flourish with the sweetest fruits and the coziest shade under our treetop where new life huddles together. I believe we get sick when we lie about who we are, the friction of the incongruence depletes our immune system, the bigger the inconsistency the greater the depletion. To be oneself is a divine imperative that takes a whole life to fulfill. Of course I never pretend to have all the answers.   I want to share with you all I have learned from the most influential therapists,  healers and pathfinders of the 20th. and 21st century. I made the movie Turn Off Cancer. Turn On Life to ignite in you a passion for your possible healing, to provide a pile of evidence to hold you in the moments of uncertainty in your recovery from cancer. My past, present and future Before doing this movie I had many other lives, In one I was a rebel adolescent that worried my parents  with my social activism, I danced and performed in different companies for years. In another life I was a scholar with many degrees in naturopathy, philosophy, psychology, art and an unfinished doctorate in quantum mechanics. Then I broke my back and tired of being in a wheel chair came to train Alexander Technique in NYC where I learned to walk and dance again, married and lived for many years . I directed my own business in the 80's, The Wealth of Life, teaching Wall Street business people BodyMind techniques for stress management. Also teaching Alexander Technique and movement somatics to many dance companies and orchestras, as well as at the Experimental Wing of the Theater Department in NYU. I had the honor of having trained with the most important therapists and somatic pioneers of the 20th century: Tomas Hanna , Charlotte Silver, Gerda Alexander, Alexander Lowen, Stanley Keleman, John Pierrakos, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Marion Woodman, Tony Robins, Yapko, Gilligan, Rossi, Robert Dilts, to name only few, and many Shaman and spiritual leaders,  and I had the honor of being the assistant of Philippine surgeon Alex Orbito where I experienced literally  thousand of miracles that defy all scientific explanation. I had spent all my life integrating the most sophisticated body awareness and somatic techniques with the Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP developments, the jungian mythic framework, as well as many body centered psychotherapies within an evolutionary  Spiritual background. In my next life I returned to Spain, where I founded and directed Transform-Action (1996-2011) a pioneer Centre where all kinds of art modalities (movement, theater, film, writing, music, photography, dance, sculpture, etc ) were used for health, growth and individual and social transformation.  In 1997 I founded IDEITA , the institute for research, development and education in the Alexander Technique, much more than a a training school for Alexander Technique Teachers, a place of investigation into the mindbody relationship underlying optimum health and expression of the individual, both in clinical settings and the performing arts. I had created numerous Peak Performance Programs for many communities, companies, TV Stations and universities. I directed, performed  and produced dance and theater performances and , I had a private practice and worked with individuals in all kinds of transitions for  for more than 25 years. In my present lifetime, for few years now researching the new fields of Psychoneuroimmunology and neuroplasticity as they relate to cancer survival. I had developed a few programs and had lead numerous retreats for cancer patients and their families . My own diagnosis and the death of many friends and family members with cancer, specially my mom and a week later my dad lead me to create the movie Turn Off Cancer. Turn ON Life where i dance and also interview the leading edge scientists of the fields of psychoneuroimmunology , epigenetics and neuroplasticity.  I strive to be more me each day, more real and more of service to you. To heal enjoying myself and to enjoy helping others heal themselves. I just want to remain melting in endless gratitude for as long as I am alive
