learning with the body

As you know (or i think so) this term, i can choice all my classes! i started with the elective subjects and my favorite class until today is one calling " the therapist as a person". This is an experiential class, I mean,  our classes are less conventional than other class of lecture. For example, at the beginning of the it, we do a little bit of “wu shu’s training” we breathe-in and breathe-out a lot! Haha, to free the energy of body.

As you can see, this is one of the main reasons why this is my favorite class, we can explore the knowledge through the body and the experience. This is a humanist elective, there are not much of these kinds in the university and I think they are so much necessaries for my career and my professional life! Because we will work with persons! And we can’t stay in front of they without knowing ourselves. This class allow us to take a look into ourselves, recognize our own problems and the emotions that we have or feel in each moment of the days of life, and i don't know, it give us a new experience in the university. Because it, i think is an important class that, in my opinion, should be in the basic cycle, because it take the theory and  lead it to the experience of the student.

Really, if you study psychology someday, you must take this class, it make me feel more comfortable with myself and teach me other ways of learning.


See you soon!!!

chilean march peacefully for sexual diversity


Recently, i discovered that exist a newspaper calling "Santiago Times" I had not idea about it, and my teacher said that would be a great idea start to reading something in this, you know, to practice the english. I started reading a new about a chilean march for sexual diversity, it said, in a few words, that around of 70,000 lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transexuals activists and supporters came together in Santiago Saturday to rally support for increased recognition and rights on a variety of issues.
the march presented three main focuses for 2012's, this are add a preventative mechanism to Chile’s recently-passed anti-discrimination law, provide representative identification for transsexuals and develop an education campaign about sexual differences in public schools.
if you want to know more about this new, you can read it following this link:

as you know i'm studing psychology, and this is a common topic in class or even in conversations with friends. its because, if you dont know, there is a complicated controversy about sexual diversity. many psychological currents claimed, until some time, that sexual diversity was a pathological condition. Fortunately, today this is not longer so.

I think, is an important question to demand for respect to the people with a different sexual condition, because, there not different people! is necesary more information to the people for accept them in the society, they can do the same things that the heterosexual people do, and not for their different choice we can marginalize them of the world. I SAID!

"when the child was a child..."




hi! i come here, again, and the topic of today is " i can't sleep". Really, is a so much difficult job to get to sleep at night, so, i must have fun by some way, or try to get so much boring  for get the sleep.

For that reason, i've been watching movies every night and i discover a lot of interesting films! one of them is " the wings of desire". This movie really surprise me...'couse when i discover this, i thought " wow, this will be really boring! this haven't colors! and it's a so old film...!" but, you can believe me, this is one of my favorites movies now. This is about two guardian angels that takes care of the humans of Berlin city. One of them won't be an angel anymore... he want to live! feel pain, the wind in his face, watch the colours of the life, and all the felling that could feel been an human. Wishing that, he falls in love with a beatiful aerialist and all he want is for love her, and live with her. All the movie is a poetry, it's start with this poem of Peter Handke:


"When the child was a child
It walked with its arms swinging,
wanted the brook to be a river,
the river to be a torrent,
and this puddle to be the sea.."


well, in fact, is a longer poem (or a song i dont sure of that) but with this quality, this charmed me. 
 i love the angels, the poetry, the circus arts, and the simpleness of things. What more could i ask for?

so, guys i can only say :  WATCH THE MOVIE!!! hahaha
it's all, see ya!
