Ser Auténtico

Hay reacciones que parecen decir exactamente lo contrario de lo que sentimos. ¿Qué puede convertirte, durante un instante, en un desconocido para ti mismo? ¿Y qué sucede cuando el cuerpo rompe el silencio antes de que la mente pueda entender por qué? Una habitación. Un instante imposible de justificar. Una grieta que llevaba años buscando una salida. Escucha el tráiler de El poder de lo ordinario,...

Some reactions seem to express the exact opposite of what we feel. What can turn you into a stranger to yourself, even for a moment? And what happens when the body breaks its silence before the mind can understand why? One room. One impossible-to-justify moment. A crack that had spent years searching for a way out. Listen to the trailer for The Power of the Ordinary , an autobiographical audiobook...

How do you end a journey that has never been a straight line? Before dawn, at 3:52, Sergi sits before a screen with a cup of tea cooling beside the keyboard. The memories gathered in these pages return: the boy who believed he was dangerous, the observer who hid in the mind, the seeker chasing distant horizons, and the man learning to live with consequences. The final movement does not claim perfe...

In his forties, Sergi discovers that the deeper revelation does not happen only on mountain peaks or distant retreats. It happens at one desk in Sant Cugat, where financial projections and startup support share a surface with intimate coaching and the Soul Plan. Two worlds he once believed incompatible begin to sit at the same table. Between the need for material structure, symbolized by bread, an...

How do you support someone without turning their process into a measure of your own worth? Before every in-person session in Sant Cugat, Sergi walks toward Parc Central and says a short prayer. He asks for help in guiding the person he is about to meet and reminds himself that he does not own whatever unfolds between them. He didn't always work from that place. For a time, he began to feel that th...

Behind the office door, a tie tightens around Sergi's throat. In the bathroom stall, under fluorescent light and the hum of keyboards, he tries to remember how to breathe. Outside, the workday continues. Inside, years of striving for recognition begin to feel like a cage. This is the story of a man caught between the wish to contribute and the exhausting need to prove that he belongs. Replayed con...

A canceled commitment leaves one evening unexpectedly open. A client speaks of becoming a clear channel. A theater ticket repeats a number. Five coins pass from one hand to another. Then, at 3:52 in the morning, Sergi wakes with an urgency he can no longer postpone. The coincidences arrive one after another, but this is not a chapter about collecting proof. Beneath the pattern lies an older fear:...

A marriage rarely ends in one moment. It frays through tired conversations, rooms shared without closeness, and the growing sense that two people are carrying different worlds. In this chapter, the ordinary pain of separation is shadowed by dreams, midnight fear, and two panthers waiting behind glass. When the rupture finally becomes real, no symbol can spare the family from its consequences. A fa...

In the first weeks of a new love, the smallest gesture can reveal the oldest wound. Over hot chocolate and churros in Plaça de Catalunya, an awkward moment of payment exposes how easily care can be mistaken for distance. Silence begins to grow between Sergi and Maria, even as another kind of presence begins to inhabit their nights. The house feels heavy. Maria senses visitors she cannot see. A cal...

Before the encounter comes the rupture. At a tantra retreat, an old wound erupts in public, leaving Sergi exhausted, ashamed, and unable to recognize the force that moved through him. Alone under a shower, he reaches a point beyond strategy and offers a surrender with no guarantee that anything will change. The next morning, in the stillness of his father's office, an ordinary task becomes strange...

India promises answers, but the journey quickly exposes the questions Sergi has been using to avoid his life. At a channeling session, in an ashram, and before an inner command he cannot explain, the longing for spiritual certainty begins to reveal its shadow: the wish to be someone special without having to face what is ordinary, painful, and unfinished. The return is anything but glamorous. Reje...

A failing grade report threatens to close one future and opens another. Drawn by an elephant-headed figure in a shop window, a business student enters a quiet yoga center and begins with something deceptively simple: the breath. Early mornings, meditation classes, family concern, and the nickname "the little Buddha" soon collide with the demands of internships, academic work, and the need to appea...

A forgotten vision refuses to disappear. Searching for its meaning, Sergi follows fragments through a Manhattan bookshop, a stranger in a saffron turban, a book that falls open at exactly the right page, and a face that seems to look back through time. Each sign brings relief and danger. The possibility of a larger spiritual identity is intoxicating, but it also raises a harder question: can a nam...

In a small Pyrenean village, a young Sergi is overtaken by an experience so luminous that language cannot hold it. His body seems to disappear. A presence appears. Love arrives with a force that feels both intimate and infinite. Then he wakes with the one thing he cannot bear: he has forgotten what was revealed. The search that follows moves through longing, prayer, shame, and the unsettling recog...

A spring morning in a Barcelona schoolyard changes in a single instant. A line of children presses forward at a water fountain, an accident occurs, and a four-year-old boy is left carrying a conclusion no child should have to make: perhaps he is dangerous to the people around him. What follows is not only a memory of punishment. It is the story of how silence, public shame, and one adult's unanswe...

What happens when your body does something your conscious mind would never have chosen? For years, I believed that understanding what others felt was the same as knowing how to feel. That observing life clearly meant truly being part of it. And that composure was a form of strength. Until something impossible to justify opened a crack in everything I thought I knew about myself. How much of what w...

Sentado ante su escritorio una mañana de junio, con una taza de té enfriándose junto al teclado, el autor contempla el final de un libro que, en realidad, nunca se propuso escribir. Este capítulo final nos sumerge en la gran conclusión del viaje: la constatación de que la transformación espiritual no consiste en convertirse en un ser intocable ni en huir de nuestras heridas, sino en hacer las pace...

A sus cuarenta y tantos, Sergi ha aprendido que la gran revelación no ocurre en las cumbres místicas o en los retiros lejanos, sino en la capacidad de integrar lo cotidiano. Por las mañanas, su escritorio en Sant Cugat acoge la lógica, las proyecciones financieras y el apoyo a las startups tecnológicas en ACCIÓ; por las tardes, la misma pantalla se convierte en un espacio de escucha íntima a travé...

¿Cómo acompañar a alguien sin convertir su proceso en una medida de tu propio valor? Antes de cada sesión presencial en Sant Cugat, Sergi camina hacia el Parc Central y hace una breve oración. Pide ayuda para acompañar a la persona que va a encontrarse y recuerda que no es el dueño de lo que pueda ocurrir entre ambos. No siempre trabajó desde ese lugar. Durante un tiempo empezó a sentir que el res...

A sus treinta y dos años, Sergi se encontraba al límite, encerrado en el baño de una oficina de capital riesgo, aflojándose una corbata que le asfixiaba mientras su última responsabilidad profesional importante le era arrebatada. Tras años de trabajos discontinuos y la sensación constante de ser un empleado de segunda, había llegado a un punto de quiebre absoluto. El puesto con el que soñaba su fo...

Una llamada imprevista al teatro para ver la adaptación de Autobiografía de un yogui en Barcelona desencadenó una serie de casualidades tan precisas que desafiaban la simple casualidad: una entrada en la fila 5, asiento 2; cinco monedas de dos euros entregadas a un mendigo; y un despertar exactamente a las 3:52 de la madrugada para comenzar a tejer este manuscrito. Este capítulo final nos sumerge...

La historia de amor de Sergi y María había comenzado con un sueño premonitorio y señales imposibles de ignorar, pero el día a día, el cansancio de criar a dos hijos (Ariadna y Edgar) y los silencios que se interponían entre ambos fueron abriendo una distancia insalvable. Ni siquiera las intensas experiencias invisibles y la protección del enigmático Ted pudieron evitar que, en mayo de 2016, el mat...

Dos meses después de aquel encuentro predestinado en la oficina, Sergi y María ya compartían su vida y un hogar. Pero la magia de un comienzo de cuento no exime de los tropiezos cotidianos: los celos, las viejas inseguridades y la incapacidad de Sergi para gestionar la intimidad emocional —como un desacuerdo absurdo sobre quién debía pagar la cuenta de los churros— abrían pequeñas brechas difícile...

Después de los años de búsqueda mística, viajes a la India y relaciones fallidas que terminaban en dolor y rabia contenida, Sergi había llegado al límite de intentar controlarlo todo. Tras una dolorosa ruptura y un punto de quiebre donde por fin se rindió y entregó su confusión, la vida decidió sorprenderle en el lugar más cotidiano y menos pensado: la oficina de su padre en el Passeig de Gràcia....

Después de una década de búsquedas espirituales, retiros y preguntas sobre su verdadera identidad, Sergi decide viajar a la India a los veintiocho años con la firme intención de cerrar esa etapa. Sin embargo, una enigmática experiencia frente a las puertas de un ashram le devuelve al mundo real con una advertencia tan tajante como liberadora: su camino no consistía en entregarse a la devoción cieg...
