PART 2 of 2 (Continuation of previous post…. About myself, and my Path—taken from my bio). Jaime is also a certified Raw Food Chef from the renowned Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center & Cousens School of Holistic Wellness in Patagonia, AZ, U.S. under Gabriel Cousens, (M.D). However, he began his self-studies of the extensive world of conscious eating a few years before personally studying with Dr. Cousens. Since 2012 he began cleansing his diet and researching, reading, self-experimenting and self-observing the relationship we have with food—as individuals and as a society. As well as doing different types of fasting and other cleansing & healing practices. Having studied with diverse teachers & Tibetan monks of world prestige, such as H.H The Dalai Lama, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Alan Wallace Ph.D, etc; he is also very interested in furthering his buddhist studies and understanding. Which began in 2010 when he took his first course with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche — “The Joy of Living”. Followed by a one-month long retreat in 2012 in Kathmandu, Nepal, at Kopan Monastery, called the “Lam-Rim” course, which means “The Graduated Path to Enlightenment” in Tibetan. Jaime will continue expanding his teaching horizons; as well as continue studying with his teachers in different corners of the world. Looking to deepen his understanding, practice and studies of different philosophies and traditions focused on an equilibrium between the body-mind-spirit complex… with emphasis on the development of consciousness. Ultimately, Jaime is very committed to help for the benefit of nature and its beings. He lives in the jungle city of Ubud in Bali—“The Island of the Gods”. #consciouseating #rawfood #raw #vegan #plantbased #plantbasednutrition #joy #lamrim #selfobservation #selfhealing #evolve #awaken #peace #healthyliving #consciousliving #mentalhealth #fasting #plants #poweredbyplants #innerbalance #innerequilibrium #yinyang #bodymindspirit #bodymindconsciousness #selftransformation #shamatha #vipassana #exploringconsciousness #jaimecouttolenc https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGwcEIMiJE/?igshid=1furmqg323v9h

I dedicate this talk to my dearest parents, who have supported me immensely on my Path. With special gratitude to my beloved mother, who in the latest years of my journey has tirelessly and endlessly assisted me with full trust and unconditional love; without her, I wouldn’t be where I am. I will forever thank her from the depths of my heart. . . . . #emotionalbalance #mentalbalance #mentalhealth #innerequilibrium #holistichealth #meditation #spirituality #yoga #mind #body #spirit #consciousness #psychology #innerstability #innerpeace #intimesofcovid19 #covid19 #lockdown #challengingtimes #consciousliving #strenghtenyourinnerpower #jointhetalkonhealthandconsciousness #jaimecouttolenc #zoom #bali #mexico #ny #europe #india #light https://www.instagram.com/p/CI8oMhrMTQI/?igshid=17129oadem8bs

I AM I am not my body; I am not my mind; I am not my emotions; I am not my thoughts; I am not my experiences; I am certainly not my degrees; And I am most certainly not my conditionings and programming; I am not my ego; I am not labels; I am not mexican; I am not an earthling; Neither am I a human —(except as a brief experience); I am not my identity; I am not my flesh; I am not my past; I am not my future… I AM eternal consciousness... having a brief experience as a human being called Jaime, in Planet Earth. I am infinite, beginning-less and endless consciousness (so as everybody else is)…. I am you, you are me; “In Lak’Ech, Hala Ken: I Am Another You, You Are Another Me”; “Namaste: The Divine in Me Rocognizes the Divine in You”; We are one; We are unity; We are infinite; We are consciousness being expressed in different, yet unique points of attention, which is you and me. But in reality we are not separate. We are the same. We are the same consciousness. Same Source. We are one. 🙏 We are eternal consciousness. (*When we collectively realize this… our inner and outer worlds will be drastically changed forever… for the better. Changed to harmony, to peace, to union, to love). . . . . . . 📷@patrzykdeoliveiraart . . . . #iam #iamconsciousness #weareconsciousness #weareeternal #weareone #wearelove #consciousness #namaste #unity #infinite #present #eternalpresentmoment #meditation #yoga #ashtanga (at The Infinate Universe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGUQbrvMmKD/?igshid=1bqb01a29mxtv

Over two years ago, summer of 2018, I finished the Cultivating Emotional Balance Teacher Training in Bern, Switzerland. It was taught by B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D —accomplished Buddhist scholar, teacher, writer and contemplative master with equally rigorous academic and scientific training; and Eve Ekman, Ph.D —behavioural scientist and burnout prevention (and daughter of the world’s eminent and renowned psychologist Paul Ekman, Ph.D., who is considered a world’s expert on emotion). By integrating the wisdom traditions of modern psychology, eastern contemplative practices, and current emotion research, CEB provides secular practices for inner transformation; cultivating a greater emotional awareness and balance, mental health, and ultimately genuine happiness. CEB aims to teach a set of skills to better respond during our emotional episodes, aiming to do so in a constructive way for ourselves and others. These skills can help to address the chronic dissatisfaction of modern life by creating conducive conditions for a more durable sense of well-being and flourishing. Mental well-being is attained through the cultivation of four balances: affective, cognitive, attentional, and conative (motivational, volitional). These four are sequential and increasingly subtle. Emotional balance is an effect; it is something we have to cultivate by creating the causes. Psychological imbalance occurs because of deficits, hyperactivity and dysfunction (too much, not enough, wrong kind). Both western psychology and Buddhism claim that the happiness resulting from internal mental training is more durable than stimulus driven pleasures (hedonic or sensory pleasures). — The Cultivating Emotional Balance Training emerged from the Destructive Emotions dialogue between behavioural scientists and H.H. The Dalai Lama, Buddhist monks and scholars at the Mind and Life Institute in Dharamsala, India, in March of 2000. At the culmination of this meeting, the Dalai Lama requested that the important ideas raised in these sessions, specifically how to manage the everyday obstacles of our destructive emotions, be turned into an accessible secular training.

5 years ago, around these days I was in Patagonia, Arizona, US., about to start the 6 month intensive “Live Cuisine Chef Certification Training” with Dr. Gabriel Cousens at the renowned Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center under the Cousens School of Holistic Wellness. It was tough, as it was an 8 hour per day training... but it was a truly great experience. Going deeper on my understanding of raw living foods has been one of the most accurate decisions I’ve made. As the importance behind it is enormous! Food in this state, is in its “natural state” in which nature, Gaia, The Universe presents food for us. Thus, is at its highest healing power for our systems. It is in this very state that food has the greatest “prana”, “chi”, or “life force” (as well as other vastly present elements like enzymes and micronutrients which act in synergy). In this way, we bring all this potential and light energy into our beings. For the better functioning of our complex systems at its multiple and interconnected layers. Being close to Dr. Cousens for 6 months was truly inspiring. Learning from him in the various topics that talks about, as he is deeply versed in many areas, being a Holistic Physician, MD, Psychiatrist, Homeopath, World Expert in Raw Foods, Family Therapist, Dip. in Ayurveda, very knowledgeable in Chinese Medicine, Fasting & Detoxification Expert... with ~45+ yrs of experience. Above all, what nurtured me the most from my experience in the TOL was the amazing most beautiful conscious community which I connected with while living there. Being the TOL a magnet-like center attracting light souls, very heart centered, intelligent and kind people from all over the world. With whom some of them I still maintain contact with today, and I know our friendship is for lifetimes. I am most grateful for all that life has given me and taught me in my many years of traveling and studies around the world. And my wish is to keep thanking life, thanking existence by continuing giving back to others, hoping that I may be of benefit and service. 🙏🏽 (3rd pic I’m with my 3 raw food teachers — great as teaches and lovely as souls. Most thankful for them as well!! 🤗🙏🏽☀️). (at Patagonia, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFotElgMUGx/?igshid=mzm2hszqi1dj
