The Scientific Power of Meditation

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about a video called "The scientific power of meditation", as a summary, I can say that this video talks, through a scientific look, about what causes meditation in our bodies. It is mentioned that with meditation, a decrease in anxiety and depression has been recorded in the brain, along with increased tolerance to pain. Also, in Buddhist monks have shown that they have more empathy and more Alpha waves, which reduce negative associations, sadness, tension and anger and people who practice meditation have an autoimmune system more prepared to fight the flu. So, watching this mini video, I felt that I should practice meditation yes or yes haha, I mean, we should all know a little more about this practice, in my case, I knew that meditation was very beneficial for health and other disciplines such as yoga and pilates and many people practice it. But, I know that it is very difficult, because at least in my case I have tried t...

Hi everyone! I want to tell you that there are many countries I want to travel to, but my great dream has always been Europe, especially France, since I was little I dream of knowing the corners of Paris, the city of love / the city of lights. I would like to know France because I would love to walk through its ancient cities and listen to "la vie en rose" (lol), with such a beautiful heritage architecture, with a culture very different from ours, to visit its museums where there are important world works like Louvre, I dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower, going up and looking at all of Paris from it, and adding that it is the country of one of the most relevant revolutions in world history. I would very much like to tour Europe. So, in France, I have always thought about the idea of ​​living for a while, being part, creating friendships, establishing myself either by studying or working and knowing a lot. In addition, their language also belongs to the Romance language so...

Social unrest in Chile

Imagen
October 18th was a fundamental day in the history of Chile, considered the day in "Chile Awakened", this was caused by a chain of social problems that had no space to endure more facts and legitimacies that only privileged the minority of the population. The secondary students began with the evasion of the Metro (subway) in large groups based on the resounding rejection of a new rise in the passage in the last one, and all the people supported them and followed them. To this day the demonstrations continue, always supported by a first line, which protects against any possible interruption by Carabineros de Chile. Throughout this period (which has been a little more than two months) on the part of the state of Chile and the armed forces human rights have been violated, since they have been responsible for torture and murder, for mutilations of eyes due to shots, to cause panic and to proclaim "a war". Honestly, as a negative aspect of the whole situation, dur...

Favourite memory of the year

Imagen
Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk to you about my favourite memory of this year, well, the last year my older sister Débora bought her current home with her boyfriend in Longaví, Seventh Region of Chile, it is about four hours from my home, and in the last summer my family, boyfriend and me went a lot part of the holidays, and we haved a very good time, we camp (the stars at night look perfect <3), eat a lot (and we drink too), we swim and play in the pool, and we went out to know the surroundings. Longaví is very country and in the summer it is very hot, it is very dry (a bit overwhelming and hopeless), so it is very pleasant to spend the days there while there is a place to cool off haha. But, anyways, in the nights is so nice. If you can, you should go to know that town! :)

A photograph that I like

Hello teacher and classmates! Today I going to talk to you about this photo because is very special to me. Well, this picture was taken by my dad (I don't remember it well, but he is the only one who doesn't appear in it), on June, 2016.  I remember that we were at Gray Lake, walking towards the Glaciar Gray viewpoint in Las Torres Del Paine, a beautiful place that I had the opportunity to meet, it was a very cold day since it was winter. It is very special for me to remember these moments because it was the first great family trip I had, we went to visit my uncle Oscar who lives in Punta Arenas and we toured all its surroundings such as Fuerte Bulnes, Natales, Cueva Del Milodón, and Torres Del Paine, that is, the last lands of Chile on the continent, and it was amazing and magical. Also, my 17th birthday just fit on the date of this vacation, I was the only one I celebrated away from home and perhaps the best. I love this picture in the same way that I loved that trip,...

My favourite piece of technology

Imagen
Hi teacher and guys! My favourite piece of technology is the cellphone too, since I consider that it is currently an important piece for communication and is easy to carry. I had my first cellphone at the age of eleven, my parents gave it to me, it was very different from what I currently have, and I used it only to have games, not anymore :(. My current cellphone I have about a year and a half ago and it has worked very well, with it I take photos, I use applications like WhatsApp, I receive the university corres and more. I use it very often, I constantly check the notifications on my cellphone and I really like it, I feel communicated and I am sure I have it. I don't think I can imagine a life without a cellphone, but anyway, in case of an emergency or world apocalypse (lol) I don't think it costs me so much to leave it (hopefully). Thanks for reading me!!

About a decision

Hi guys and teacher! In this time I´m going to talk to you about why I´m decided to embark on my current career and university program. When I was little, my family always talk to me about the university and the higher studies, like a goal in life. Nobody of my family has the opportunity to be in one (university), but my sisters studied in an Institute. So, I always wanted to enter in on. And when I was a kid I wanted to be an actress, I was loved to see movies and series and do later the same scene, cry, kiss and fight lol. But, one day I said this to one of my sisters y she literally tells me: "don´t do it, you will not have work or money", and after this, I began to realize that, despite not having a job or something else, I preferred it as a hobby or something like that, not like an "official future work".    Later, I started to have two options for study (predominantly), the first was basic education teaching because I always liked to me to teach to another...
