RELUET METHOD
The Reluet Method: The Art of Transforming Adversity into Purpose and Flowing in Real Time
After years of silence and darkness in Miralpeix, a village submerged beneath the waters of the Rialp Reservoir in 1999, artist Núria Companys Castro (the last generation from Miralpeix) uncovered a silenced truth by listening to the objects her family managed to salvage : matter has a memory and pain is sculpted like clay.
The Reluet Method, which was developed in September 2009 following the loss of his paternal grandfather, Josep, is not a fleeting theory. It is a methodology for in real timeto unlearn automated behaviors and achieve inner peace through art and the memory of matter, now compiled in his book *Reluet: The Color of Resilience*.
When crises freeze your essence and turn your life force into a “swamp” of stagnant water, the artist’s proposal focuses on equipping you for the descent. Slowly but surely, you put on your diving suit to descend into your depths, release your blockages, and reconnect with your natural flow. At the end of the journey, you discover your own river: “the true work of art is you, with all your imperfections.”
RELUET METHOD – FLOWING WITHOUT RESISTANCE:
For Núria, resilience means accepting what she has been through, listening to her emotions, and finding a completely personal way to keep moving forward.
“I lived in darkness for 23 years. Over the past 13 years, I’ve woken up and I realized that the life I wanted didn’t need any more passive information, because if I didn’t do anything, everything would stay the same. I stood on the shore watching my existence turn into a swamp.
But true transformation is not mental: it is physical, it is biological, it is experienced.
It was the deep connection with the objects my family and I brought with us that guided me to rediscover the authenticity of my inner flow. To flow without resistance.
I understood my life’s purpose in the summer of 2022: I gave my first painting a title, began signing my works—which until then had been signed by my father, Josep María—under my pseudonym, and the illustrations were born. Resilient symbols, schematics that encapsulate the Reluet philosophy: We were born rivers and we shall die as rivers.
I feel at peace with myself as I heal through my body and capture the Reluet Method in my book, RELUET: THE COLOR OF RESILIENCE—a space of co-creation.
Thanks to my rivers for traveling kilometers with Reluet – Núria
The Call of Your Inner Wealth: The Art of Returning to Yourself
In an environment filled with noise and demands, it is easy to build up armor that disconnects us from who we truly are.
Analyze these three signs to see if this is the moment for you to take the step:
1. Overcoming Mental Blocks Through Art
You need to shape the material to release knots from the subconscious.
GOODBYE SNORKEL
2. You turn off your "swamp"
You need to overcome crisis-induced paralysis to restore your sense of well-being.
WELCOME, RIVER
3. You find your authenticity and peace
Do you want to shed your masks and take charge of your destiny from your true self?
THANKS FOR THE WETSUIT.
SOLUTION: Put on your wetsuit.
It’s time to change your snorkel goggles and put on your DIVING SUIT, immersing yourself completely in your own depths through art.
Stop looking at the water from the surface and immerse yourself completely in your own depths through art.
“Rivers don’t look at the landscape—they immerse themselves in it”
Núria carries an invisible tattoo of the Segre River, where she was born and grew up until the age of 13 in Miralpeix—now submerged beneath the parched surface of the reservoir—reminding her every day that she is her own teacher and student.
The Diving Suit: Your Field Guide
Putting on this “suit” is the conscious act of opening and journeying through the 278 pages of active, resilient reading in “Reluet: The Color of Resilience.”
The Journey of Transformation: The 3 Phases of Flow
The solo journey into your own inner depths requires structure, attentive listening, and the right tools.
Your process of healing and transpersonal self-leadership is not linear, but rather an organic journey structured into three evolutionary stages to clear your river and regain your life force
PHASE I DESCENT: Visual Ultrasound
TRANSPERSONAL DIAGNOSIS. The final step toward trading in your snorkel for a wetsuit and bringing your inner blocks to the surface.
This phase serves as the analytical foundation of the methodology, based on the art of “seeing the invisible” through an understanding of the physical environments and objects that surround us and shape our history.
When unresolved grief or emotional blockages build up without an outlet, a sense of heaviness sets in that affects us and distances us from our true selves.
Visual Ultrasound is a one-on-one diagnostic tool that allows you to project and bring to light in a tangible way what remains hidden in the subconscious, by scanning the memory of your objects before working on them.
BIOGRAPHICAL IDENTIFICATION:
A guided journey into your personal history to pinpoint the exact source of your emotional stagnation
SCANNING MATERIAL MEMORY:
A thorough examination of the everyday object that has absorbed your silent knots and aches before you intervene.
SYMBOLIC RESTORATION:
“Clay that recognizes itself as clay has already begun its journey toward taking shape.” The beginning of your poetic justice, laying the groundwork to bring what is hidden into the physical realm and set it free.
PHASE II: ALCHEMY OF THE STREAM: Resilient Creation
There are no external saviors. Take full ownership of your destiny.
Once you’ve completed the in-depth assessment, you’ll move on to the stage of self-leadership, practical emotional resilience, and material transformation—all from the comfort of your own home.
This stage is designed to keep your creative flow alive, help you reconnect with your authenticity, and support professionals or leaders who are overwhelmed by stress or external judgment. To achieve this, we use Audio Immersions featuring Núria’s voice and Interactive Card Sets (available as a Complete Set of 10 Resilient Colors or through a monthly mail-order subscription to a collection of resilient symbols).
MANAGING YOUR DAILY CASH FLOW:
The art of managing your life energy and emotions in real time, preventing your daily life from stagnating or turning into a quagmire.
IDENTIFYING LIMITING BELIEFS:
The scanner that recognizes the external influences and judgments that paralyze your decision-making.
ACTIVATION OF EXISTENTIAL FLEXIBILITY:
The biological and physical ability to adapt to the most challenging terrains and stressful environments without losing your essence.
PHASE III: CONFLUENCE: Community
FULFILLMENT AND LEGACY. Remember that you were born a river and will die a river. .
The culmination of this method is inspired by the artist’s vision of unique rivers that flow and converge. Núria always tells us that “We are unique rivers that come together with other rivers and give rise to a beautiful confluence.”
1. YOU ACHIEVE YOUR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION:
You leave behind, once and for all, the masks and the paralysis of the swamp. You transform pain and crises into a creative and tangible driving force that gives meaning to your personal story.
2. YOU LIVE AUTHENTICALLY:
You free yourself from the constraints imposed by the judgment of others. You learn to make independent decisions, to take charge of your destiny, and to flow effortlessly from your true self.
3. YOU ACHIEVE YOUR ESSENCE CONNECTION:
Your unique journey continues at the beautiful Reluet confluence, keeping alive the practice of cultivating daily habits of gratitude and genuine well-being that ensure a positive and lasting impact on your surroundings—even as you are surrounded by a robotized society lacking in critical thinking and creativity.
You become part of a vibrant community that shares your values, readings, and reflections, helping you maintain your inner peace amid the daily grind.
