Perceptions and perspectives

Oxigeme as a process of integration for a Psychology at the service of consciousness started in 1980 in Barcelona, in the moment I began to establish myself professionally.

At that time it was exciting for me to outline this embryonic process, and even nowadays I am revising some of my old programs, especially one of them which began with the phrase: “We are born with an eggshell that structures that which is amorphous …”. Years later that idea took on meaning in my reflections and possible intuitions in relation with the mold of the human being, its services and transformations.

Oxigeme starts from the idea that the human being comes into this world conforming a “necessary structure” and a “memory”. This structure establishes a necessary armor in order to withstand the vital friction. But sometimes a situation arises where for some people this “eggshell” becomes a corset which impedes people from widening their perceptive and conscious field; at that moment people enter into an “Emergent Crisis”.

Nowadays we are in need of a Psychology that could offer answers to these processes that have been occurring from ancient times to the radical present. An answer which sinks its roots into the anguish of the quest of today’s human being, understanding it as a challenge in order to develop the deepest potential of the being. We need a psychology which could access the unspeakable, giving support and meaning to the being who understands life as an opportunity facing the darkness and death. A being who shakes when facing the mysterium tremedum, who never denies his vital anxiety coming from his ignorance; and who, when faced with the hypnosis of human machines—that deny their feelings—waits for the commotion of the ancient people, the soft whisper from the spirit to the heart—the necessary predisposition which sinks into the identity of the cosmos.

Pragmatically, Oxigeme is a theoretical and practical process developed by Dr. Manuel Almendro which starts from a conception of therapy as an integrative and evolutionary process of the human being. Its objective is for the human being to arrive at a realistic and effective opening of his vital yearnings. Therefore, Oxigeme offers a treatment that respects every stage, and a suitable framework for any of these stages. For this reason we work with therapeutic and individualized processes and different seminars, with an order and meaning so that people don’t become workshop collectors (workshopaholics).

Only by paying continuous attention and with constancy can we really access inner transformation after elaborating processes.

Seminars and therapies are carried out by professionals who have a background  in psychology and medicine.
