Lo que he aprendido en 7 meses en la cárcel | Sofía Reynoso | TEDxZapopan


the laws

29 days ago I got out of jail

all this started two years ago when

I received an extortion call

they tell me that if I do not give them the money that

they ask me they were going to kill my daughter like no

I have children I have to listen to the

way he spoke to me he shouts at me

enough to be scared to death

the first thing the person can be

it was a god loves you because he could not

believe that someone who does not know me to

I would like to be like this or shouting at me

assaulting me and and I ‘m saying god

loves you is valuable is important

the boy began to reassure me and

says hey because I’m calling you to

there is an evil because everything is saying

God loves me, I’m valuable, I said

is what has to be happening in your

life so that I have to be

doing this in practice I was

in prison that was not a saint but

that neither a criminal and being already

in prison he becomes a

delinquent at the time asked him

hear what your dream was when you were

child tells me that without writing

writer an artist in prison

automatically the nelson agreement

mandela and Yitzhak reports or send it

he was in jail for 27 years in these

27 years old begins a book

imagine all the stars that

you have to tell the people of

outside and he told me that he had no idea

of how to write a book that only

had reached the primary

so I said ok your body is

enclosed in four walls

but nobody tell you that your weapon that

your spirit are locked

they are free they cut the call me

it was without battery and the only thing that

I could do after that I was hours and

I started crying after giving me a

courage of how it was possible for a

artist was in jail is expected

turn a delinquent talked with me

husband and we realized that he had two

roads or to complain about a

faceless system and blame it what

which was the easiest

so I find it completely

responsibility or the second put me to

do something like that he investigated nelson

mandela charges possible that a person

that lasted 27 years becomes the

most important person a whole country

what had happened in his life what

tools has been used is then

when reading the mandela photograph

I realize that we have tools

one the meditation and the second

tool in art

the question is here I realized that

among it the boy who had a

extortion call person

nelson mandela we have something in common

with the boy who called me

What they have in common is that I

I had also left my dream of being

artist for dedicating one more career

professional and I did not hit and I got

study business and finish planned

in bali and although I was happy I was not

doing my passion and that generated a lot

frustration and a lot of anxiety is there

where he connected with nelson mandela and

I used meditation in moments of

frustration that I used nelson

Mandela talks about the cells the place

ideal to know yourself gives me

the opportunity to meditate and evolve

spiritually

the question wants what happens and we put

method approves the mandela method and in

reality meditation and art

functional reintegration and that they passed

jail slipped what happens if we do

in women who as a woman felt a

little more empathy with this aspect

so then we put the program together

those who dream our dreams

find those artists that were in

the prison and that they dreamed of being

artist so you can deliver the

tools so that in the time that

I was in jail he could

become the artists who had

dreamed of meditation methods

to know you and self forgive you already

through art that we all know their

therapeutic advantages in the process

action in more than 40 people

professionals in the area of ​​meditation

in the area of ​​yoga in the area of

artists we have criminologists

researchers because actually

we wanted to test don mandela

at that moment I realize that the

program stops being mine and becomes

in a social movement that no longer

I belonged

we created a cluster of people that already

we have created this comprehensive program for

girls are inside

then for the first time we have

share with you what we did in

these 35 girls in these seven months that

they just happened at the police station

reception was my great source jalisco

and although they did more than 60 works

we heard some that exemplifies very

well what is going on with your

emotions and what is going on with your

life and so we create this bridge

in what they mean what

we are willing to listen

we found there are inside with sheep

black and as Raquel explains in his work

so that they feel black sheep asks

sorry to the world and his family for being

added people we meet with

people who feel lonely

we are talking about 80 percent of

the women who are there have children

and only 14 percent receive visits

of your children

this work may just seem like a

landscape what is interesting is what you want

say the work says that they are the

sunrises the sunsets lost and

my children

in one of the activities mode

art therapy we ask you that the

psychotherapists asked them in a

set made a mask the girls

they start to make a mask of them

same

the question here is that we

a group we had a lot

resentment between them cited equipment

they are attacking

after this activity we give ourselves

account that the girls begin to give

among them they were suffering

for the same reason they take you for the same thing and in

this moment a group of

empathy between them one of the works

explains this is the work of vic and in his

work the large bridge masks

she wants to find more than

five hundred masks that are inside

from jail and write a book with

their experiences in the workshop

posters of social criticism also

we recognized this empathy

we realized that the issues

choose individually

they were very similar among them they talk about

violence

they talk about child sexual abuse they talk about

of abuse of authority and discrimination

of gender preferences since it is very

interesting

these three works that are going to appear in

a moment these works speak of a

child sexual abuse and one of the

girls

explains that in the step he has taken

the prison already known to many women

he has realized that he has a tangle

of negative emotions and feelings

that hatreds are generated that do not

he knows who they are and he has noticed

what they have in common

women is that they have experienced a rape

or child sexual abuse and said this

girl to see how it is possible that you are

people who lived this and what is it

that the problem is generated is not that

let’s be criminals

the problem is that we do not stop to

think why are criminals

at that time I and my group said and

July

maybe we were in the same

circumstances that we would have done

Well I personally maybe the same

or worse

something to forgive that past that was a

very important pillar was workshop

meditation in this workshop

meditation

We wanted them to understand their

present and accepted his present and

forgive your past because the time of

life from there is measured differently

and explains it in the samantha work

the clock is all gone crazy they

he talks about that they are only focused on

their past in what they did what they

hurts and in the future when it comes out

When I see my children when I ‘m happy

and what happens with your normal life

your life and you went to jail

they commit in a limbo where it does not exist but

what happens if that limbo is called a condemnation

40 years old

other activities that make teachers

of meditation they were told if

you had the aladdin lamp the

could float at this time and ask

a dream that would ask us

we are waiting for the girls that

want to get out of jail is the most

obvious none of them standing out of the

jail

on the contrary, they asked not to be afraid

they asked to be happy they asked for love one of

they said teacher I was about to

get out of jail but what’s the use

get out of jail or worse prison than

inside the teachers explained

that when I was in them they carry

seven years teaching and when they

they come out of prison they realize that

the fears they had were the

same fears that we have here

outside and they comment that they have even

seen worse mental prisons in

supposedly free person

that was the way in meditation and

I think there’s nothing that exemplifies

this process better this box

Fabiola, I want you to see it very well

they know where the key is

the key is inside

javier arenas explains that the prison does not

It is the physical condition you can not find the

the prison is in your head and that

she probably got herself

mental jail and she herself have the

possibility of leaving nobody else

the only person who reaches that key

she is herself

we learned in this process and a person

free and spiritually he lives free in

any environment that is and

we learned that the mind is so powerful

that you can create your prison in your

four walls that you have

maybe the gas and jail the police station

perhaps a housewife his prison

rope and maybe my jail was my office

we understood and we managed to see how the

free beings

we understood that a positive or

negative that you have done in your life you do not

define and you can always find

that light and alex art independently

of any circumstance

the girls are free the girls

they are free from those mental prisons

and they are ready to go out as

explains this work hope and have the

larger wings and have even the

stronger because buried in your

past and they did it on land when

she goes out of nelson mandela

speaks that anyone who is

defined can beat any

obstacle when she leaves

Let’s make sure not to have no mental

have mental prisons creating

open door communities

[Applause]
