Care is an essential principle that encompasses our relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the environment. It involves an active commitment to the protection and well-being of all living beings. Taking care of ourselves allows us to be in a better position to care for others and the world around us. This includes practices such as meditation, exercise, and healthy eating, which strengthen us both physically and emotionally.
Self-care is an innovative and highly attractive proposal that emerges from the need to unify mental health and spirituality in the human being. It is aptly promoted by Ramiro Álvarez, priest and psychotherapist.
This approach involves a series of activities that the individual undertakes in order to turn their gaze upon themselves: their thoughts, emotions, actions, and relationships with others. These practices, called "technologies of the self," come from the reflection of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who explored the concept of self-care as a form of self-knowledge and personal transformation.
