Consciousness, Non-duality, Meditation, Yoga
Today's interview is with Miguel Contreras, a former doctor who has embraced a holistic path as a yoga teacher, nature guide, and advocate for sustainability. In this insightful conversation, Miguel shares his transformative journey from studying medicine to embracing a lifestyle rooted in connection with nature and spirituality. Together, we explore profound topics like meditation, duality, consciousness, and the role spirituality plays in addressing the challenges humanity faces today.
AGENDA:
- Miguel's Journey and Transformative Moments
- Spirituality & Science
- Buddhism and Hinduism meditation
- Understanding Suffering
- Duality, Non-duality & Consciousness
- Advices on Yoga & Meditation
- Challenges - The future of humanity and how spirituality can help us
Who is Miguel Contreras?
Miguel grew up in as a city boy in Lisbon. He studied Medicine in Salamanca, where he awakened to the world. He became a global citizen, experiencing firsthand the system’s dysfunctions during his travels and through the way he was taught to understand medicine. Early in his course, he realized he was more interested in health than in disease, which led him to explore concepts and practices related to ecology, agro-food systems, spirituality, and ancient human traditions. He worked as a doctor for a few years, but in his search for a sincere life, he felt the need to explore other ways of living. Almost ten years after that decision, he lives in Santa Cruz, Portugal, where the exploration continues. He divides his time as a nature guide, yoga teacher, and as a communicator on environmental issues related to the ocean, agro-food systems, and our connectedness to nature, having published two local educational books in these fields. Beyond what he does, he is the father of two beautiful children, a household farmer, a cooking enthusiast, and a passionate surfer of the waves of the sea, the mind, and sound.

Bravo! 👏
🙌
The potential is unfathomable huge space. I don't need psychedelics to explore or experience. One naturally develops slowly but one has to have the urge.
🙌🙌
Wauw, this is an awesome video, no? One of the best and most complete explanations what translates to our understanding I ever heard about any form of breathwork 🙏🏻☀️❤️
Thanks so much! It means a lot to us ♥️
Is lime a cheap building material?
Not so sure but definitely Markus (link in the description) will be able to help you with this 😉🙏 I wish you the best with your project!
@@existentia_filmsIll contact him, thanks! :)
This is stunningly captured, the story and the message is powerful and just another reason why finding something you love or finding the "way" is so important! "Kungfu is the way!" For me and so many others! Thank you
Thanks so much for your kind words. 🙏💛
Amanda's deep knowledge of Indigenous wisdom and plant medicine provided a unique and enriching perspective. It's really amazing how much we can achieve when we come together as a community.
Couldn't agree more! 🙏
It IS the ULTIMATE therapy! It’s changed my life.
Very happy to hear that 🙏💛
My dream to join this community ❤
Whos that woman? Whats her name?
Hey, Sascha Vriend. You can find all her info in the description of her full interview 🙏😉

❤
Super 😊
This is very well put together, and beautifully captured, thank you ❤
Thanks a lot Chris 🙏🙌
Ok, I might be a bit picky here, but wouldn't it be more eco friendly to use local materials (like the traditional basalt rocks) instead of shipping limstone across the ocean? The concept makes sense, but for the extension of the project, having this in mind might be something good. If you thought about it and decided not to go with it, I am interested in the subject and would like to hear your perspective. Thank you :)
Thank you João for your honest comment. I am sure Markus could help you answer that question if you contact him. Have a wonderful week 🙏
