Abstract

The ancestral prophecies of Abya Yala announced the arrival of the time of the heart: a time when the condor, symbol of the heart of the peoples of the south, must unite its wings with the eagle, symbol of the reason of the peoples of the north, to fly together and free in the same sky. Only then, humanity will find possibilities to heal life and heal the wounds of mother earth that today agonize. The heart makes it possible to look at reality from a reflective sensibility and from a sentient reflexivity. Hence, in this text, corazonar is based on the poetic force of the wise word of the mamas and taitas who walk the path of the yachaks; it walks the medicinal wheel of the four winds, and, as a way of poeticizing theory, it converses with the wisdom and spirituality that dwells in testimonies, poems, songs and stories that contribute to the awakening of consciousness. The corazonar is a spiritual and political response to the healing of existence.
