«Nazareth Castellanos te deja claro, casi como si te contara un cuento, que ni sospechamos la relación que hay entre nuestro cerebro y el resto de nuestro cuerpo . - Borja Hermoso, La conversación infinita El cerebro es un órgano plástico, que puede ser esculpido con la intención y la voluntad como herramientas. Conocer su capacidad para aprender y adaptarse al entorno es descubrir aquello que nos construye desde fuera. Pero, paradójicamente, es esa misma plasticidad neuronal la que nos brinda la oportunidad de transformarnos desde dentro. En este libro, Nazareth Castellanos se asoma a la filosofía de Martin Heidegger y propone tres pilares fundamentales en los que se sustenta la experiencia humana: construir, habitar y pensar. El relato comienza exponiendo la huella que los ancestros y las relaciones personales han dejado en la construcción de nuestro propio cerebro, para luego adentrarse en la posibilidad de reconstruir la arquitectura neuronal mediante la voluntad, algo para lo que la respiración es una herramienta esencial, pues establece un puente entre el mundo exterior y el interior, entre lo que somos y lo que creemos ser. Siguiendo el trazo anatómico que dejan cada inspiración y cada espiración en el cerebro, pueden definirse las bases neuronales del encuentro con uno mismo. En un ejercicio impecable, en el que aúna humanismo, ciencia y algunas de sus experiencias, la autora recoge diferentes técnicas de respiración para reforzar determinadas zonas del cerebro que nos ayudarán a preservar nuestra salud mental; en esencia, a conseguir un acercamiento a la propia identidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Nazareth Castellanos makes it clear--almost as if telling a story--that we have no idea just how deeply connected our brain is to the rest of our body." --Borja Hermoso, The Infinite Conversation
The brain is a plastic organ--one that can be shaped by tools such as intention and will. Understanding its capacity to learn and adapt to our environment means uncovering the forces that shape us from the outside. Yet paradoxically, it is this very same neural plasticity that offers us the chance to transform ourselves from within. In this book, Nazareth Castellanos draws on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and proposes three foundational pillars of human experience: building, dwelling, and thinking. The narrative begins by exploring how our ancestors and personal relationships leave lasting imprints on the architecture of our brains. From there, it moves into the possibility of reshaping this neural structure through the power of will--where breathing emerges as a key tool. Breath becomes a bridge between the outer and inner worlds, between who we are and who we believe ourselves to be. By following the anatomical traces each inhalation and exhalation leave on the brain, Castellanos outlines the neural foundations for self-encounter. In a masterful blend of humanism, science, and personal insight, she shares a variety of breathing techniques designed to strengthen specific regions of the brain--methods that support mental health and ultimately guide us toward a deeper connection with our own identity.
