El Vacío Existencial: Transformar la Crisis en una Oportunidad de Crecimiento (con Bernardo Álvarez)

Is it possible that everything we pursue to be happy is precisely the obstacle preventing us from achieving it? In this profound conversation, I reconnect 10 years later with Bernardo Álvarez, existential psychologist and Zen practitioner, to unravel the roots of human suffering (Dukkha) and how meditation and philosophy can offer us a path to true liberation. We explore key concepts such as attachment, impermanence, and existential emptiness, not only from a theoretical perspective but also from practical, everyday experience. If you have ever felt that, despite having "everything," something just doesn't quite fit, this conversation will give you the keys to change your perspective and find a peace that doesn't depend on external circumstances. In this video you will learn: What suffering (Dukkha) is and why we cling to it. The difference between unavoidable pain and optional suffering. How mindfulness meditation (Vipassana) can eliminate the causes of dissatisfaction. The myth of the "blank mind" and practical tips for starting to meditate. The secret to living a calm life through radical acceptance. 👉 BERNARDO'S INSTAGRAM PROFILES:   / bernardodran     / estudios.buddhistas.ags     / xidhuterapia   👉 CONTACT JUANJO: https://linktr.ee/JuanjoRedondo 00:00 - What is the secret to living in peace? 01:32 - Introduction by Bernardo Álvarez: Psychology and Buddhism. 02:45 - The existential quest: From childhood to psychology. 06:03 - Personal transformation: From resentment to detachment. 09:21 - What is Duca?
