🇪🇸Abrirnos, en todos los sentidos. Permitir nuestros escudos ser agrietados, nuestra semilla ver la luz. Nuestros sentimientos ser compartidos. Intimidad. Auto-exploración. Auto-realización. Se*******ad. Descubrir nuevos horizontes internos. La ayuda. El s**o. La vida es un viaje y compartirnos es señal de fortaleza. Caer puede ser doloroso pero levantarnos de nuevo es valiente. Emparejarse puede resultar decepcionante pero dar segundas oportunidades puede también resultar muy satisfactorio. Encontrar nuestro propósito es necesario. Descubrir qué resuena contigo. Qué hábitos, alimentos, personas, pensamientos, plantas, actividades, tareas, trabajos, lugares, movimientos, climas, olores y sabores te hacen sentir arriba, en la cresta de la ola, viva, motivada, alegre, positiva, con ganas de. Y luego, ten el valor de buscarlo. Busca ayuda si la requieres para ponerlo en práctica. Rodéate del equipo o círculo que te permita soñar, a aspirar a tu mejor Yo. Teje tus sueños.

🇬🇧Opening ourselves in all senses. Allowing our shell to be cracked. Our seed to eventually see the light. Our feelings to be shared. Intimacy. Self-exploration. Self-realization. Sensuality. Discovery. Help. S*x. Life is a journey and sharing it is a sign of courage. Falling can be hurting and trying to stand up again is brave. Partnership can be deceiving sometimes, but giving second chances can be extremely rewarding. Finding our purpose is a must. Discover what resonates with you. Which habits, foods, people, tasks, herbs, thoughts, jobs, places, moves, weather, smells and tastes make you feel higher, alive, motivated, joyful, positive, eager to live. And then take the courage to practice them. Find help if you find it difficult. Surround yourself with the team or like-minded souls who may guide you. Circle yourself with those who encourage your dreams, and aspire for a better You. Knit your dreams.

Stellaria media (español abajo)

🇬🇧Chickw**d: this annual w**d is common in Europe and North America, growing largely in the fields. You will identify it by its line of thin tiny hairs on the stem that distinguished it from other similar ones. I love to cook it in soups, or make a pesto sauce with it. It is refrigerant, laxative and diuretic. Should better be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. More info here with your fav doc!

🇪🇸La Pamplina es una delicia que crece silvestre por nuestros campos norteños. Se la identifica fácil al mirar sus tallos que tienen una fina y única línea de vello que la diferencia de otras similares. A mí me encanta en sopas y en salsa de pesto. Es refrescante, laxante y diurética. Mejor evitarla durante embarazo y lactancia. Más info aquí con tu doc favorita!

🇬🇧Plant-based fats (those “omegas”) have been proven not only NOT to increase your body weight (although they don’t make you loose it either) but also to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. They protect the brain and nervous system from aging, they help sustain blood glucose levels so our energy is stable and we don’t feel hungry, they keep our joints hydrated, our bowels moving, and our organs happy. Veggie fats come in different forms and we should be eating them daily for our health. Avocado, olives, cacao, seeds, nuts, cold-pressed oils, spreads and butters... Such variety!
🇪🇸Las grasas vegetales (los conocidos “omegas”) han demostrado a la ciencia no solo que NO engordan (aunque tampoco adelgazan) sino que además son un factor de prevención cardiovascular enorme. Protegen al cerebro y sistema nervioso periférico de los efectos de la edad, ayudan a mantener los niveles de glucosa en sangre estables (y así mantienen hambre a ralla), “hidratan” nuestras articulaciones, mantienen flujo intestinal... un chollo que mantiene a nuestro sistema feliz, ¡vaya! Las grasas vegetales las podemos consumir de diversas formas y las debemos incluir diariamente en la dieta. Aguacate, aceitunas, frutos secos, semillas (cáñamo, chía, sésamo), aceites vírgenes (oliva, lino, nuez), mantecas (avellanas) y untos (tahini)... tal es la variedad que solo puedo darte ejemplos.

🇬🇧Traditional Chinese Medicine also takes good care of Aesthetics Medicine. Guasha is one of its techniques. It provides a relaxing massage while improving blood and lymph circulation, helping the skin look clean, hydrated, and soft. With its smooth pulling it also stimulates de connective tissue for improving skin tightness, great for preventing wrinkles and lifting your muscles.
🇪🇸La Medicina China tiene en cuenta la Medicina Estética. La Guasha es una de sus técnicas. Produce un relajante masaje que estimula la circulación sanguínea y linfática, ayudando a que la piel luzca limpia, hidratada y suave.

I feel honoured to be able to share, during this complicated period of time and history, but from all of my love and kindness, this little comic that we’ve (Cae and Pablo) been working on for now 4 years. There is a paper version that we’d also like to promote, but we thought it’d be beautiful to share an ebook version with all of you during these days we are under a lockdown, so that we can all share knowledge, wisdom, healthy practices, love and self-care. We will appreciate if you can share with as many contacts as possible, and also if you feel like giving a donation! 😇😃💙

We hope you and your loved ones enjoy this as much as we have enjoyed making it and profiting from its contents.

We have an English, Spanish, and bilingual version too 🙏🏼
