  • Courts: The judicial and family war of the Medinaceli for 20 titles

Every day, at 9:30 o'clock in the morning, in the height of the coronavirus pandemic, followers from Spain and around the world connected to their Instagram address, sometimes exceeding a thousand. His goal was to meditate, something that is becoming a growing "lifeline" to cope with the anguish unleashed by this pandemic. His guide was María de la Luz de Prado Muguiro , (42) a transpersonal therapist who is also a meditation instructor. "This virus is causing terrible suffering, increased by the rush of our mind that crushes us saying: 'I am going to catch it, I will be alone in a hospital, I will die without saying goodbye to my loved ones' ... Meditation helps us to detach ourselves from that chatter that produces so much pain and teaches us to focus on the present moment as it is, an acceptance that little by little opens doors to inner peace, "he assures LOC.

In his case it is not theory, but the product of the dramatic personal experience that ten years ago upset his existence as a fairy tale. Daughter of the Marquis of Caicedo and graduated in Art, she then ran the French firm Chloé in Spain , and had her own boutique in Puerto Banús. In June 2002, he had starred in many covers for his wedding with one of the most sought-after bachelors, Pablo Hohenlohe , (57) grandson of the Duchess of Medinaceli, the noblewoman who surpassed the Duchess of Alba in titles. Held at the Tavera Hospital in Toledo, owned by the Medinaceli, King Felipe , a good friend of the groom , signed as a witness , and a large number of aristocrats attended , including Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe, uncle of Pablo, Kubrat of Bulgaria, Eugenia Martínez de Irujo and Isabel Sartorius, Don Felipe's ex-girlfriend, who that night took her out to dance a waltz.

The couple settled in a beautiful country house in Istán, a town near Marbella, which alternated with stays in Paris and Madrid . But in September 2010, when her daughters Allegra and Cecilia were 7 and 5 years old, María received a terrible blow. "I noticed a lump and I thought it was the prosthesis, because I had surgery on my chest, but my cosmetic surgeon warned me: Maria, it's something else, you have to analyze it."

The diagnosis was a cancer that was removed in October at the Madrid clinic Quirón, and later also required a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. "It was awful, I was 32 years old and two little girls, they had taken my chest off and I was obsessed with thinking that I was going to die , I kept asking myself 'why me?'".

He also had to undergo chemotherapy sessions for six months. "My hair fell out and I had to put on a wig, fortunately my girls did not find out. The chemo thing was not as horrible as I thought. Although it is not easy, the sessions left me very horny, as if I had the flu. I accepted that I was going to have a very bad year, but the doctor told me that he was going to heal me. The day I finished chemotherapy, I went to the Bernabéu for a Madrid match to celebrate "

Life change

At that time he began to turn his life around: "I bought a bike, and on the advice of a cousin of Pablo, I started doing yoga, culminating in savasana meditation sessions. I realized that I had a wonderful life that I had not known how to appreciate, complaining about work and a thousand nonsense. But I do not want to think that with this you become an enlightened person who is saying om, today many self-help techniques proliferate that are masks of happiness , life is also mud, There are days when I am in a very bad mood and I even say tacos.

He combines his courses with weekend retreats in Alcuzcuz , a beautiful boutique hotel by decorator Jaime Parladé located in Benahavís, near Marbella, where he combines garden baths, healthy food, art workshops and meditation.

Lately, it has also become host to atypical social events. "As in my circle they were reluctant to these disciplines, it occurred to me to organize dinners to attract them. On Thanksgiving I organized one, taking the idea of ​​my friend Pablo Sendagorta , where there were many sympathizers of Podemos, wealthy people and plumbers from Spain. or bricklayers sitting by lot at tables of ten . I made them write three things for which they were grateful and also mistakes they had made and what they had learned from them. Many in the end were crying . I was impressed that their most intimate problems, concerns and illusions they were exactly the same in all of them. "
