About this book
The Word of Being is a work of self-knowledge, presence and inner balance created as a practical guide to help the reader remember their deepest essence.
The book leads a symbolic and accessible journey through fundamental elements of human experience: silence, departure, flame, river, garden, mirror, tree, family, love, friendship, work, society, body, fear, separation, integration and belonging.
More than a conceptual reading, The Word of Being was written to be practiced. Each chapter functions as a small meditation applied to everyday life, with reflections, parables, affirmations and simple exercises that invite the reader to transform perception into action.
The work emerged from Felipe Reitz’s studies in Chinese Medicine at Shanghai University in China and from his Kung Fu training at the Shaolin Monastery. From this experience of Eastern philosophy, body practice, silence, discipline, breathing and consciousness, a universal language was born, directed toward harmony between body, mind, emotion and spirit.
The book was carefully written to speak to different cultures, religions and ways of thinking, avoiding expressions that could create conflict or make translation difficult. Its language is simple, affirmative, symbolic and practical, allowing the message to be understood across different languages and cultural contexts.

Curiosities about the work
The Word of Being was born from a rare experience: Felipe Reitz’s studies in Chinese Medicine at Shanghai University and his Kung Fu training at the Shaolin Monastery.
This origin gives the book a practical and experiential foundation. The work was not created only as philosophical reflection, but as a path of daily practice, where reading becomes an exercise in presence, silence, breathing, discipline and inner harmony.
Another important curiosity is that The Word of Being is part of an international editorial project to become one of the most translated books in the world, with the goal of reaching 101 languages.
For this reason, the language was carefully constructed to avoid complex words, difficult translation structures or expressions that could create cultural, spiritual or religious conflict. The text was designed to cross borders while respecting different peoples, beliefs and traditions.
The book also uses an affirmative, simple and universal language, supporting clarity, positivity and balance in any language.
More than a book to be merely read, The Word of Being is a book to be practiced. It invites the reader to bring each teaching into simple daily actions: breathing before speaking, listening with presence, recognizing emotions, cultivating silence, strengthening relationships and returning to their own center.
