Javier Muñoz, popularly known in art circles as Xaverio, is primarily a painter and sculptor, but he was recently in Mojacar to present the book he started writing five years ago and is now in the bookshops. His book, "Indalo Codex", is more than just another history of the symbol but rather a guide on how to live a better life with the philosophy contained in it reflected in what Xaverio feels is the transcendent meaning of the cave painting code symbol that is the Indalo.
The Indalo is seen in this book as a universal code found in different ages and civilisations, one of the best known representations of which is Leonardo de Vinci's Vitruvian Man drawn in 1490. The Indalo represents the being in plenitude and harmony with the universe, the ancestral symbol of the universal woman and man.
The book, whilst not a 'self help' book, offers a guide on how to live a better life following a philosophy based on human rights, respect for the environment, a desire for peace, health of mind and body and that which is good for the planet. This is complemented with a manual of physical and mental exercises which combine the powerful Indalo posture with the "Indalo messages", short statements to be recited like mantras resulting in positive vibrations within and outside us.
The book, Indalo Codex, is published by Editorial Sirio and costs 36 euros.
