Dr. Mario Alonso Puig - ¿Por qué las historias nos ayudan a transformar nuestra vida?

Episode Date: July 29, 2025

¿Sabías que una buena historia puede sincronizar tus neuronas, equilibrar tu nervio vago y darle instrucciones nuevas a tu inconsciente? En esta conversación con mi amigo Alberto Herrera exploramos por qué los cuentos, mitos y fábulas siguen actuando como puentes entre lo visible y lo mágico y son tan importantes para nuestro crecimiento interior.Hablamos de la neurociencia del storytelling: cómo una simple metáfora puede fomentar nuestra neuroplasticidad, por qué la forma en que le hablas a quien escucha puede facilitar el cambio y de qué manera la vinculación afectiva que surge al compartir historias ayuda a bajar el estrés crónico.También repasamos estudios que muestran cómo leer cuentos a los niños potencia la memoria, la imaginación y la percepción del riesgo.Deseo que esta conversación te anime a contar y a contarte mejores historias, esas que ensanchan el alma, inspiran coraje y convierten cada día en una aventura de transformación.🌐⁠Página Web⁠📷⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠▶️⁠Youtube⁠📲⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠🎟️Entradas a la nueva conferencia 2025

Mario, what How, good days? Very good days. He told to your kids to

your kids? Yes. Yes, and I me those inventable. But the curious is

that it was at the level of attention that they put in so I sometimes

I felt a very I'm a very he was created on the marcha

and and a good day me they're they're we're

we we're to grab it No, I said, no, no, I think no, I think no, I think it's a sufficient level. And a good day, I go, I've been to many years, and they're in a grabator and, and say, Papa, it's, he'll start with the

quote. And I'll be, God, me, that this will be a registered. What has it. What has grabbed? Yes, yeah, then it's what it was. And, you know, I'm going to be interesting, because I mean me have encanted the I always the fables. I think there are fables that that you

have been the mind and the mind and the whole of a story of a fauula and in a fact I'm

in a few many years, I invented a story that I thought fascinating but no

I'm so that the juror not it doesn't but at that I know

that I'm the Warrand of the third of the time, which is

my book really really more really a transformation personal. And I'm

an enamorado of the great fulars, of the great mythos, of the great legends, because I'm conscious also of the power that can't have in the life of a person. Because they're in the stories for that we don't trap in and it's that

you're saying, no knows who anybody that, with a story that he's got more or less, no he has changed in some way. That is a grand question, and the response that you'd say, the answer to the histories,

the legends, those that are the those are the people of the world of the world of the

we're doing with a world that we're with a world that's a world that supera. For that

series like the war of galaxies took a lot much more

the things the things that's but for the history I'm

fascinated now I'm back to see the me, he's all the eight

films, is a story? For sure. There's a lot of many stories that are, and we are always

because they're because they're a point. Between the world and a world and a world that's

the world, it has two characteristics. First, something in our own is real in some

measure, and in second, it's a second of, it's I'm going to I'm going to

put to not to give us. There's an hospital infantil in Cincinnati and

did that demonstrated that that read the children favor of the general, the memory, the capacity

imaginative, the perception of the reason of the world. We're going to know, when one

when one gets trapped in the sense of the word that's trapado by a legend,

for a myth or a history, although it's a mindire, the inconscient begins to

vibra with that with that question, and when the inconsient vibra, vibran other

things. Vibran in our cells, vibran our systems, vibran our organs,

of a way that still not we're not much that's that's like a

kind of a that's a and that a child, a adult

I've told stories that I've said, because me have been

the impact that have been people are something that's something

that Lamentably, we've got a catalogued like, those are things. Those are you doing those are those are tontneries.

No, the mythos, the great legends, have over-vibed the pass of the time,

have survived the impulso of the science that only is the only can make, thanks

that are capable of dimensions profound and make our mind and make resonar

our spirit. But that there one one thing, I just I've got to agree with

to ask him. I'm a Rannin Kasiari that's one of the great contaders of the contenders of

an great deal of a little to listen to two minutes three minutes, marvellous and he said

you know, that they're the stories that they're the first we're doing that's the first we're

when the human, when he was what they're doing it was to what they've been

that they're behind of that that's that that that's, and at the final, for the

scriptura it would have a lot of time. I think in that relation oral to tell

history is part of the property of the real history of the human. Yes, Aristotle said that

the person human wants, he wants, we're doing we're we're a moment,

where some animals, they're coming to other, where you need to you, then we're

to come to get a explanation. So, we've we've got a way we're

serve as a guide. We rebaugge the tension of the non-knowed, of what we can

understand, of what we don't know we're in a mal explanation than not any kind of

any type of explanation. And effectively in the example, in the world in the

world Greco-Latino, the great mythos of the of the world. I'm

that I've read with much profounded with with a lot of much attention with a covening of the

seventh book of the republic and I don't know there's way to put a way

that clear and creative and creative because some people see in a reality and others

can't you can't you can't you can't but you can't another but with

the cavern of Platon written after 2,500 years you you understand perfectly

why those who have been out of the cavern not consigued that those who are they're in there and why those are in the only reality

is the that they is the great value of the mythos and that for example he used a much jose and Lucas when

the the same the same the great mythologist he began to apply in the discursos of the

characters of Lucas Skywalker of Jodda etc etc, all what is in the mites, the encounter with the sombra, the aliads, the

enemies, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the thing is a-and-a-all-you-a-counter, and you have to adaptate, and all the myths, in the fund, the mythos, that have soaried the past of the time, if you

you'd have asked, and, before, you had, and then, before, you have, to, the, of the perfection of the human. So, fiftate, for example, that when, when, So, it's to destroy

that aniel, some don't want in the fellowship of the needle. Some of the people.

Because, because they're in the power. That's is jugos for the ego. And others

they're a fear, because, you know, to confront to Sauron and to all the orcos,

that's a thing a moment, and there's a little Frodo, the who no doesn't

practically , and is a person that in that in that way that's a lot of having been

able to have been able to do you know, I'm thinking there's that there's that there's a

lot of but if I heard a people to say is that is that I prefer

I'm reading books utes and I think for who I'm

mean those those they're they're they're that they're

to help to understand books of physics, that they're teaching how function the law

the law of books of cooking, but is that I mean the stories, the science fiction, like no

me apporta nothing. What first that I would do you, the first I would say I think I'm

like a surgeon, that I think I think the value of those things specificas

that are to move in the world of the matter the form, the time, the time,

the space, the physical, the medicine, the chemica, in all the engineering, in all of that, for that's a question. But what you help to transcendent the world, obviously, what you do you doer

new possibilities in your life, what you do to cross ourizontes, what you invite to a adventure and of transformation, not is the physical, not the medicine,

not is the chemical in the engineering. Are those legends that ensanche in the alma, that agudizan your mirada

for that you can't intuit that there are realities more and for that's in the impact,

not in the head, but in the heart. For that's absolutely the Lord of the

Anilos analyzed as a point of a point of a point of a bit of a

but that that means that means that means that means that we can we can

we can't we can we know because from different to

that certain that can resonate in our is

that is that is that the mythos, the legends not serve to us for that we're in our weaknesses,

for that we're our vulnerabilities, I think the grand error is when when we're when we're one or the other.

And we consider us that is useful the utilitarian. There are things that are very useful.

I remember in the programs that you've talked to a thing very one of

you're in a barca and appreciated the silence and sentiste a path interior.

That is utilitarian. It's important. That's it's a their cellars, that's they're

to put in your heart, and they're to ask you, let's ask, this moment of silence to you have

benefited, and you say, for favor, don't give us a little more of

this. You know, so, that what we do not what we benefit,

not only only the only only not only not only what we don't know we can

and, is. And now recapacitana, I'm saying, if you're in you, we've, that we've got to have been to a couple of seminars, what we've been talking to, and since, before to start, what has passed to me?

What, you have passed to you? How do you've seen? But I've got to be able to saying, was I, doing this, I'm doing, doing what? That's I'm trying to tell, the things that you pass. Sure, because we're we We have a world

where the communication every is major, the vinculation every is minor. When you tell things your, as Alberto, when I do you

want to do you and I'm we need to know, and I'm so I'm important to know that you are you know that you

do you know, then that is associated to all type of ventas in the health.

This is an thing incredible. Fifate, there's a nerve which ultimately every day

has more interest is the name the nerve vago anterior. The nerve vago

is a ram of the decim of cranial that's the bulbor and it

andirva part of the pulmone inerva the heart the

good is essential. That's the time that's not get us blocked because

one of the elements the claves for that the vago anterior function is the

vinculation affective. Fidate. The vinculation reduces the stress. The

vinculation makes that you feel that you sometimes in the moments where most

you need that you can't be you know, that you think you really, that you

want to that you appreciate, that you want to be to be a moment of

the difficulty. How not it's a Much of times is the propiti story of our life, the most impressionant of our relato. At the final, all are stories, the networks,

this phenomenon that is, to be there's been that there's the life of the people, at the final is it's to be there to be in front of, how I can't you compare

or if I'm able to be identified or not what I'm going to do you know, that's a story for that you engage or no.

It's a thing there's one of the elements claves is that you are that you are in a language

with the you can't connect to one of the most most great medical that has

existed, North American Erickson, Milton Erickson, for example, when I talked to

people of the agriculture, always they always was in that tone.

I had a couple, in a couple of a couple of a

friend my agricultural that I want much, was going to

for a moment a defiant is a person very valiant very capable and we're we're going a pair of hours

there's a pair of shillies in a place and I'm he's an thing's about things of things of

a person very intelligent and very capable and the moment I said this is this is

so simple as the thing you imagineate that there there there

and the water and the water is accustomed to go always for that surco. So,

and determined those you're going to do the same way, because you've trained a surco. If you

want to change your form of reaction to respond, you'll have to do a new surco,

going to a new space in the earth, that's biologically is called neuroplasticity and so

you'll start to the change. Well, the desped me, I got to the company

to the coach, two hours, he, he? He had been about about the things of neurociencia, of the things of psychology profound, and the man

super interested. He's got looking and said, Mario, that's of the surcos, that's come a horde. Why?

Because it's a language. A person, a more of a city, that has been in the camp, no,

he's been in the television, well, to talk to say, what's the first is that

you have to understand the context. If the protagonist, not is the protagonist, is the person is the person, is the the second place. The second

has to be very atent to his language no-verbal, to see really is, he's, he's, he's captaining, no? And then, I think it's fundamental to recognize in your conversation

the difficulties for those that are the people. A, I mean, a, one conversation that's enganching not sule's a conversation where someone does a doctrine, no a plaitica.

It's someone that's a difficulty of the luchat, the difficulty of the moment, can empathize with that.

I've passed for a difficult and then offer us a proposal a better a alternative creative.

So, if not resuena in our interior, it's very difficult that we

can't with us or because it's because it is on the

the Siente for below and no he's Sient at the same level, it's a

not a thing that's a thing that's a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot of a question.

A lot of a story that you do you you all final you're you're you're

and then I said that your books are very utiles have many stories to then

then you do you know, that at you know? Sure, for me the world

to be to be what more me important is to get to the decide, fundamentally is the

inconscient. So, to me interest to get to the inconsiente profound. Logically,

the conscience me has to give to say things that are things that not are insensatats, because I

don't know those things would be to get more ondo. You have to get more on.

And if not you get that long, you're to have that you're

going to have a time? There's a fulula that's of the rei Arturo,

when Gowain, that was the sovereign of the king of the king, he was over the time, all they had

adventures. So, the re, he had to all the because the Ray Arturo said,

nobody will say, nobody can't aventura. And I think that nobody

passed a hungry. I'd say, that there had been there, there were

to everybody and then to happen, and and, and, and,

it A story very beautiful, and I think it's going to resonate in many of our own-yent. Apparece the Santo Greal covered by a paink relucient. Apparece the ante of all the caballeros, and, of a repent,

disappears. And then, Wayne, the sobrino, says, I propose, that we'll do you know a juryment. All will be to look the santo grial,

and all, for a place distinct. And then each one of the caballeros he went to Lanselot, not Lanselot,

Camelot, and entered in the bushke for a place in the dark. Because I like, I like, because

it's a booker in the life, to be a buscador of the eternal, to be a person that

am a, that he a man that's that said Campbell, that the fear that

the fear that you do enter in the cavern, is what you impede to find the treasure that you're in that and that adventure,

to me has helped much in moments of obscurity, in moments of difficulties, because you're that's part of the adventure of being a man.

So, there times that you don't know you're a thing, then you have to be in the dark,

you know, you're going to get the chispa of the experience. There are times that

you're in the mountain of the desperation, you have to sculpting a symbol of faith, of hope, of

love. And all of that, in a moment determined, when one's a single single, he's a singleent,

he can't give the aim to continue advancing. So, now it's if at final

they're in the santo-grial. It's in the person that's going convicting in the

process of buskeda. That good broche, no? Well, is that the mythos are precious.

If we're we're supposed for the legends, we have to have a legend. Maria,

until the week I'm going.
