Almendra sat down with with Noi Ha Nguyen for his Rewire Thinking channel to talk about how she became the person she is today. They also discussed how she enjoys helping other people adapt to new cultures or even just new realities. Something Almendra has seen frequently is that people get used to being in a particular situation and settle for things that are actually making them uncomfortable. She highlights the importance of checking in on ourselves and identifying what no longer serves us - to then let it go. And in so doing we are more likely to reach our true potential. Often times we need to get rid of whatever’s blocking us and holding us back - so that we can makes space for new enlightenment.

Last Saturday we had an energetic seminar on the foundations of Phyllis Krystal's method "Cutting the Ties that Bind" at SOAR in Gracia, Barcelona. Participants were introduced to the main ideas and practices, using life size models of the Circle of Golden Light, The Figure 8, and the Yin-Yang for balancing head and heart. We look forward to offering more courses in the New Year. Thank you to all who participated! Thank you to Paulina Roa for creating the amazing models that really help to embody the practices.

When people of all ages, nationalities and personality types come together for a common learning experience the results can be incredibly powerful. And so it was during our Cutting the Ties that Bind (CTB) seminar in Lalita Devi near Caceres, Spain in August 2025. Spaniards, North Americans, Brits and Germans - with ages from 18 up into their 70s - met in the idyllic setting of Lalita Devi to discover more about the CTB method and, in so doing, more about themselves.

We especially want to thank all at Lalita Devi for helping facilitate the seminar and for providing the incredible food and service. And if you weren’t able to attend this time (or want to repeat the enriching experience!) then watch this space as we hope to organize another seminar in the next few months. Also stay tuned for announcements about in-person CTB seminars in Madrid and Barcelona or please get in touch if you’re keen to organize a seminar somewhere else with us. If this past seminar in Lalita Devi has taught me one thing, it’s that the CTB method is beneficial for *everyone* - regardless of age, nationality or personality!

What was the inspiration behind Mandy Staffa’s decision to join her daughter in this mission to bring Cutting the Ties that Bind to a greater audience?

"I am so happy to be engaged in Phyllis Krystal's Cutting the Ties that Bind (CTB) work again. Almendra had told me she would be doing CTB work. I thought I could help out here and there. Then one morning I woke up and realized I needed to do the CTB work alongside my art. Without it something was missing from my life. Almendra called me that same day asking me if I would join her in CTB. It was truly a beautiful coincidence.

Having seen over the years the profound natural changes in people I have worked with, I know the more people who use this method, the better. To reach the unconscious where real permanent change happens is no mean feat. To do this intentionally and consciously is amazing, the tool's incredible. Phyllis Krystal's method is needed now, more than ever and always. I hope you will join us and find out for yourself." - Mandy Staffa​

Cutting the Ties that Bind was created and developed by Phyllis Krystal (1914 – 2016) and it consists of techniques, symbols and rituals which can impress positive messages on the subconscious mind to offset some of the negative conditioning that may have been received earlier in life. By using this method changes are achieved not just cognitively, but on a much deeper and conscious level. It is a means of gaining greater independence and internal security as a whole human being.

It’s an incredible way to detach yourself from the overwhelming control and overlay of family, authority figures, culture, and reactions to events that impede you from expressing your true​ or real Self.
