“Why do you even want to change the world, why would you want to change anything than yourself? Yourself is the only thing you can actually change.” – Maria Paz
This is Maria Paz – she is a traveler and explorer full of passion for finding her inner self and peace while helping others to find their inner self too. She co-founded Mind Body Soul, a Happiness Centre in Dubai in 2017 a platform to share tools for happiness and positivity in the corporate environment. Her friends call her Pazi, and she feels there are no slogans to describe her life and journeys. With this mindset, she aims to bridge east and west – Buenos Aires, where she was born, over India, Sri Lanka and finally Dubai.
Pazi got 8 Chapters – starting with Chapters 1 called “In a little world” where she shares some childhood memories which proved that she was always more interested in what lies beyond the perceivable. “Unrealized Potential” is Chapter 2, about discovering her potential while living in Buenos Aires. She reflects on her young age in Argentina like a plant before the seeds began to sprout and see the daylight for the first time. Chapter 3 is about her attempt to study medicine but soon realizing that’s not the path she wants in her life. In fact, after one year, she ended up in the US, her first abroad stay with little willingness to settle down while keeping a mindset of “keep exploring”.
In Chapter 4 she highlights the two phases while living in Sri Lanka, on one side, the party life and going to the beach, on the other side, the why question sparked the curiosity to learn about Buddhism & meditation. Pazi started to meditate and met new like-minded people. After 2 years she moved to Dubai under a slogan “what you resist – persists.” Chapter 5 called “timeless” where, as she said, it’s the “time where the journey begins” She first went for few months to India, explored the country and travelled free without any strings. Back to the UAE as her home-base, she started to see Dubai with different eyes – That chapter she called “Dreaming” She joined Wiso and the House of Om family to bring together the local Dubai community around activities such as meditation, yoga, dance, capoeira, beach swimming and more.
For Pazi, freedom is part of her everyday life. No wonder she called the Chapter 7 “One Way ticket”. It’s about going to India with no return ticket, traveling alone, and it is where she saw the connection between the dots. The journey was intense, and a few months later, back in Dubai, she co-founded Mind Body Soul, a Happiness Centre, to connect her passion for bringing inner peace to a broader audience. Let’s start with the Chapters Of My Life Podcast Book of Maria Paz called “In the Search of Freedom”.
