The Book: A Complete Transformation Kit

The book is divided into three essential parts that I have designed with the best way to deliver these teachings to you in mind:

1. An Introductory Guide, where I share my personal story and explain how the Buddhist perspective and Mindfulness, validated by modern science, can transform our quality of life.
2. The Workbook, which is the heart of this work.
3. A Therapeutic Tracking Journal, so you don’t feel alone in the process.

1. Introductory Guide to Mindfulness

Here I share the foundations of Mindfulness, its relevance to modern societies, and my personal story, from the crises I experienced living in Europe to my awakening in Thai temples. I explain how this 2,500-year-old ancient wisdom, now validated by modern science, can transform real lives like ours.

2. The Workbook – Your Mental Toolkit

This is the beating heart of the work. Each of the 10 exercises is structured as a complete journey of transformation:

10 Transformative Exercises Explained Step by Step:

1. Master of Your Mind – Master the art of observing your thoughts without identifying with them
2. 5-4-3-2-1 Technique – Return to the present and break the cycles of anxiety
3. Child’s Eyes – Rediscover the world with curiosity and wonder
4. The Wisdom of Your Inner Voice – Reconnect with your intuition and confidence
5. The Art of Not Forcing – Learn to flow with the present
6. Embrace What You Feel – The Healing Power of Emotional Acceptance
7. Open Hands – Free yourself from what you cannot control
8. Night Journey- Body Scan for Deep Rest
9. The Pause (STOP) Button – Your tool for critical moments
10. Everyday Treasures – The gratitude journal that transforms your perspective

What makes each exercise unique is its comprehensive structure: first, you’ll understand the problem and its scientific basis, then you’ll learn about inspiring cases from figures like Michael Phelps and Nelson Mandela and their experiences using similar techniques. I’ll explain what neuroscience says about it because I know that, like me, many of us need that validation. Then come the step-by-step instructions, always with a 3-minute express version for those impossible days when you barely have time to breathe.

Each of the 10 exercises that make up your Mental Harmony Toolkit contains the following sections:

1. 1. Problem, Origin, and Solution
   2. Success Story: Personal Growth Stories of Prominent Figures
   3. Purpose of the Exercise: Why is it so important to practice this exercise?
   4. What Does Science Say? Data and Studies that Support the Effectiveness of this Exercise
   5. Practical Exercise: Step-by-Step Instructions
   6. Suggested Time
   7. Preparation
   8. Step-by-Step Practice
   9. Express Version of the Exercise (3 Minutes)
   10. Practical Tips: For Different Everyday Situations
   11. Reflection: Guide to Reinforce the Exercise Through Reflective Questions
   12. Personal Reflections: Your Personal Space
   13. Progress Tracking: You can use tables or other tools to track and monitoring your progress and evolution with the exercises.
   14. Conclusions

3. Progress Tracking Diary

And to ensure this isn’t just another book that sits on the shelf, I’ve created the Therapeutic Progress Tracker. This is a unique tool that allows you to see your progress in a concrete way:

• Weekly Progress Charts: To visualize your transformation in 8 key areas such as sleep quality or stress reactivity.
• Numerical Tracking: To objectively measure anxiety episodes or practice minutes.
• Trigger Journal: To identify and transform those patterns that keep you stuck.
• Guided Reflections: To process your experiences with a professional structure.

This journal will help them make the invisible visible, boost their motivation on difficult days, and celebrate every small step along their journey.

The full version of the book has 300 pages, but you can also purchase just the workbook separately + the tracking journal.

My Personal Proposal

Every page of this book I’ve written knowing that many have felt, as I have, that their minds are a carousel of photos, situations, thoughts, and assumptions that never stop, or have woken up exhausted from dwelling on the same worries. This book is my way of telling you: “There is a real way out, without pills, without gurus, but simply with teachings that haven’t yet reached us.”

By applying the techniques in this book correctly and consistently, you will be able to:

LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS

Clear Scientific Foundations:

• Practical application to contemporary challenges: work stress, digital overload, social pressure
• Simplified concepts so that anyone can apply them immediately

Transformative Attitudes

• Focus on what you CAN control.
• Live fully in the present moment.
• Develop self-compassion and inner strength.

CONTROL AND REDUCE YOUR PANIC ATTACKS AND ANXIETY LEVELS

It’s not a magic path, but it’s a path I’ve walked myself, step by step, breath by breath.

As my Chi Tsong teacher taught me in the temples of Thailand: “Peace is not a place, it’s a practice. It’s not about escaping the world, but about learning to live in it without suffocating.”

Thank you for allowing me to share this with you. I sincerely hope these tools bring you the same peace and transformation they have brought me.

If any of you decide to embark on this journey, know that I want to be there if you need a hand along the way.

With all my gratitude…
