Life’s attacks have transformed Paz Padilla into a strong woman, able to think and talk about death without fear. Comedian, actress, presenter, businesswoman, Just written by this woman from Cádiz who lives in Madrid raise the duel, In which he intends to continue helping navigate life after the death of a loved one, and to star in the hilarious film Crazy bodies.
What will we see in the movie?
Lots of humour. The adult puts himself in the girl’s mind and vice versa, allowing them to reconnect and understand each other’s lives. When you see the world from another perspective, you will realize that neither the good is very good nor the bad.
In the film he shares the bill with Antonio Resines, who is recovering from failing health. What’s it like to work with him?
It is a gift, I love and admire him very much because he is one of the greats of this country. During the recording, I played a lot of tricks on him because he is the kindest, most generous, grumpiest grandfather in the world. I love being his girl next to him.
Do you turn to your inner child often?
I need to be a girl again every day! When I’m outside, I take the opportunity to do stupid things in the street and enjoy the anonymity. I think many adults forget to feed that inner child, to travel into this imaginary world, to get excited about everything and, above all, to tell the truth as children do.
“When I’m outside, I take the opportunity to do stupid things in the street and enjoy the anonymity.”
Don’t you think that telling the truth comes at a high cost?
It is possible, yes. It affected me emotionally, but the truth always ends up being revealed. Paolo Vasili once told me that he had learned to know what not to say and I still didn’t want to learn that. I don’t want to pretend, I want to continue to be clear even if there are people who don’t understand it. For example, if I tell you “I love you” it is because I mean it from the heart. I’d rather deal with the truth than live a lie.
Even if the truth hurts you?
What hurts is life. I don’t want to live fooling myself or thinking I’m not someone else or living a constant lie. I know a lot of people who think they are good people and they are the complete opposite.
Do you think about mistakes?
I meditate a lot every day and it’s hard to escape from everything I did or didn’t do. That’s why I decided to write Raise the duel Through my humble experience, I help people live with the most difficult part of life.
Do you do it intuitively or were you instructed?
I can’t stop studying! Now, for example, I have a master’s degree in resilience and working on the subconscious. I have teachers like Javier García Camballo, Luis Gutiérrez Rojas or Rafael Santandro. In addition, I am also taking neuroscience courses with Nazareth Castellano.
Are you really spiritual?
Yes, because I discovered that we are three bodies: the physical, the mental, and the spiritual. When one of the three doesn’t go well, everything falls apart. We have to understand why we are here, and where those who die go…
“I discovered that we are three bodies: the physical, the mental and the spiritual. When one of the three bodies does not go well, everything collapses.”
Have you ever doubted yourself?
There are times when the rational side triumphs over the spiritual side. Of course I have internal conflicts, because sometimes I think that life ends with death. However, after speaking with many teachers, I came to the conclusion that when you die, everything doesn’t end.
Do you have signs that make you think the dead are here even though they are on another plane?
Yes, of course. I have marks for my brother Luis, my mother and Antonio. This is not unique to me: there are many people who receive these signals from deceased loved ones.
Have you had any extrasensory experiences?
Yes. Meditation makes you very connected to consciousness and sometimes you have super realistic meditations. Blue Meditation, for example, puts you in touch with loved ones who are no longer here.
“Sometimes the rational side overpowers the spiritual side, but after speaking with many teachers, I have come to the conclusion that when we die, everything is not over.”
Have you contacted them?
Yes, and she is very beautiful. When my brother died I went on a ten-day retreat, and after that period when I went through very special things, the teachers told me I was in touch with him. I can’t confirm that this is 100% true because science doesn’t go that far, but that’s what I’ve experienced.
Have you been called crazy many times?
I’ve sometimes thought I’m a commentator, but I think neuroscience is progressing a lot and a lot of things are being proven, and fortunately public thinking has changed. When someone tells me I’m stuck, I respond with scientific information.
Do you think about his death?
daily. I’ve learned that if I think about my death, I can appreciate the value of life. When I wake up I realize that I am alive and that I can do everyday things. It may be a cliche, but I appreciate every little thing because one day Antonio woke up and couldn’t walk or talk… I’m grounded and I live with fears but when you lose the fear of death you lose the fear of everything.
Does hatred or resentment fit into this way of thinking?
Anger causes a lot of damage because it generates cortisol, and frankly, I don’t want to live inflamed. Fighting what I can’t change or avoid only hurts me. I have learned to put love and compassion first.
Do you know the amount you have in the account?
naturally. I have a comfortable mattress so I can live in peace without working, but I love my job.
But they said you were ruined!
Yes I read that but none of it is true. In fact, I’ve told my daughter many times that she could live life more quietly, that she didn’t need to work as much, but it’s in her blood.
“Fighting against what I cannot change or avoid only hurts me.”
Do you mind so much?
I’m not a spendthrift, and I’d never consider spending money on a boat or on expensive vacations in hotels where I only go to sleep.
How do you deal with being a businesswoman?
Very well, although now NoNiNa takes care of almost everything and Anna. I am here to make important decisions but Anna is the one who manages everything in an amazing way. By the way, the magazine Mujer.es He just gave us an award for our perfume.
are you happy?
Extremely, because happiness is within you. If happiness was owning things, they would sell them at El Corte Inglés, and I have rich friends who can’t sleep at night.
