MARLY KUENERZ was born in 1940, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She became a Clinical Psychologist in Spain, and from the beginning she combined her practice of orthodox psychology with studies on ancient Eastern scriptures and meditation. While completing her training in Gestalt, Bio-energetics and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, she started researching the shamanistic phenomena in Brazil. She took part in a multidiscipline course in the Psychiatric Hospital in Tres Cantos, Madrid. From 1982 to l986, she worked in the Hoffman Intensive Process in Brazil, which she introduced to Spain in l986. In 1990 she worked with the Brazilian therapist Anna Sharp on a psychological technique based on the pre-Christian pilgrimage to Santiago. During this time the idea of merging the pschycological and the spiritual fields (Transpersonal Psychology) became her main purpose.

In 1991 she created her own therapeutic method, entitled "The Play of Attention", based on personal experiences and findings within the Transpersonal Psychology field. This work is a structured "journey" through the different stages we go through in our development as human beings. The main purpose is redirecting, transforming and getting rid of deformities and misunderstandings in our thoughts, emotions and actions. These old crystallized ways of behaviour may develop into psychological and/or physical illnesses and the end result of these patterns is that we identify with our limitations, forgetting our true spiritual nature.

In 1996 and 2000, Marly took part in two Seminars on Palliative Care in Poland, as an assistant to Dr. Ruben Bild, leader of the course. In 2001, she held a practical Seminar on applying her method to Domestic Violence at the Society of Psychologists in Murcia, Spain.

In 2005, she also gave a conference on her method in the University of Psychology of Trondheim, Norway, as well as a practical Seminar. During all  these years she gave a large number of conferences and seminars in different cities in Spain and abroad, explaining her technique and its psychological and spiritual effects on daily life, and continues to do so at present.

In her book "The Play of Attention" (published in Spanish and Portuguese, Madrid 1995, 1999, 2002; Lisbon 1996) she explains the different stages of the work, as well as the theory on which this therapeutic practice is based.
During 1998/1999 she led the psychological section of Mariló López Garrido´s daily radio program on personal growth named "La Voz de la Noche", in Spain. In this section, called “Footprints of the Sacred”, she explained and answered questions on the basic principles that support personal growth and dream interpretation. This program started again in Radio Continental, Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2005, and is still on the air every week. During the years of 2000 and 2001, she wrote a regular column entitled "Personal Growth", in the weekly supplement "Alternative Ways" of the internet magazine “Mujer Estrella”.
Over the last few years, she has created a method of individual therapy, always within the Transpersonal Psychology field. It pursues the cleansing of traumas and straightening out of thought processes, and uses several techniques of different schools, as well as methods she has developed herself. A unique way of using ancient Tibetan sounds on specific psychological hindrances and difficulties is one of the most interesting techniques she has discovered.

At the moment she is offering a “Course Online for Personal Growth”, explained in this Homepage. Its intention is to promote, guide and help to keep a steady inner work alive, resulting in a different point of view and bringing a new focus on our daily reality. It offers an opportunity of transforming psychological difficulties into a broader consciousness and developing the capacity to enjoy life in a new way, whatever the circumstances you are in.
