Pablo Amira: Mentalism, Alchemy, and the Mystery Inside Every Moment

In this episode of AWAKEN, Ryan sits down with Pablo Amira — psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, mentalist, musician, and the mind behind Metanoia — for one of the most philosophically layered conversations the show has produced. Pablo joins from Chile, surrounded by at least five guitars, a shelf of books, pendulums made from amethyst and quartz, and what may or may not be coffee in an old bottle. The vibe is immediately clear: this is someone who lives what he teaches.Pablo moves through the world guided by two Greek axioms he keeps close — know yourself, and everything in moderation. He works with clients not by chasing more of them, but by trusting that the relationships he cultivates naturally draw the right people. His intention isn't more business. It's deeper presence with the people already in his life — his wife, his three-year-old son Gael, his friends. Everything else, he says, follows from that.The conversation opens with pendulums and the ideomotor response, winds through Jungian alchemy, Greek philosophy, Ericksonian utilization, the spiritualist roots of mentalism, Chile's unresolved grief from dictatorship-era disappearances, and why the three stages of alchemical transformation — nigredo, albedo, rubedo — matter more to him than "mental health" as a concept. Pablo's framework isn't about removing what's dark. It's about transmuting it. Fear becomes courage. Grief becomes meaning. The symptom becomes the doorway.Then he performs a card effect live — the Ace of Diamonds, predicted in Spanish before the session even began — and uses it not to impress, but to connect. He follows it with a pendulum demonstration using Ryan's sock and a pen. Then he closes the episode with a spontaneous induction so quiet and clean that Ryan admits he was gone before he noticed.This one is for anyone who thinks therapy and mysticism are opposites. Pablo makes the case they are the same thing, in different costumes.Three quotes from Pablo worth writing down:"That person already knows. But they don't know that they know. I am the one that shows — look, something is happening. I am the one that points.""Courage is not a feeling. Courage is the trust that I have the seal of the future me — I can do this.""Life is not just about being mentally stable. Life is to be full, to be crazy, to be fun, to enjoy, to serve others, to love others. Let's inject life."Connect with Pablo Amira: Blog & writing: metanoiapabloamira.blogspot.com Full site & services: pabloamira.com Email: [email protected] Pablo works in Spanish and English, offering psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and mentalism — and is an excellent referral for Spanish-speaking clients seeking deep transformation workConnect with Ryan DeJonghe / TranceWell: Website: trancewell.help Email: [email protected]
