Saturday-Pentacle – Week 48 – 2019

A practice I’m excited to try

Neurodynamic Breathwork – Since I listened to the podcast episode of The Tim Ferriss Show which featured Stanislav Grof (the founder of the Holotropic Breathwork). I have been curious to try out his methodology to reach an alternate state of mind – Holotropic Breathwork.

But trying it out has been a logistical challenge. As it happens in classroom kind of environment for a longer period class in a 12-hour format.

But then through a video from Yoga Journal’s YouTube channel, I discovered Michael who is a certified facilitator of holotropic breathwork who studied directly under Stan Grof. Michael Stone developed a short version of this breathwork, which is called neurodynamic breathwork (NDB). Michael developed this shortened version as a way to make holotropic breathwork more accessible so that participants could also practice this technique on their own.

On this site – NDB can be experienced online, via an online meeting session.

I’ve got enrolled for a couple of sessions and I’m really excited to experience this in the upcoming few weeks.

A podcast episode I loved and recommend —

David Perell’s podcast episode with Neil De Grasse Tyson: Bringing Space to Everybody – I love David Perell’s work and it’s amazing how in a span of a year or two he has been able to approach people so higher up for his podcast.

It says how – writing emails, creating great networks and giving more than you are paid for, work out.

This episode of his North Star Podcast with Neil De Grasse Tyson was amazing.

Even Neil appreciate the homework David had done beforehand for the episode. Like actually being able to speak about his autobiography which was published much earlier.

These kinds of things create a very organic connection with your guest.

All in all a great episode.


Music I loved –

Sunday Study – playlist by Thomas Frank – Thomas Frank has slowly become one of the YouTubers I admire, who put so much thought in the intricacies of an idea he’s putting out as a video.

This playlist he made for studying has some really thoughtful song selections to study on, I listened to it and I can totally recommend this.

A good listen.


Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Carl Jung

Until Next Saturday!

Post of the week –

Review of the Katy Parry/Neil deGrasse Tyson Talk – Witness Worldwide

As you know, I really love audio production and love creating podcasts and interviews on SoundCloud. This Anchor radio app which I featured on this Saturday-Pentacle issue of week 22 as well, really blew my mind when I first used it this week to see how much time it takes to create the similar 8 minutes podcast production, which usually takes me 2 hours to produce and publish through my blog and believe me or not the total process took 10 minutes including the 8 minutes of recording.

So this above piece is the first recording or segment (as they say in Anchor app) from yours truly. It’s a review of an interview which I heard very recently and it blew my mind. This interview was part of promotion I guess of Katy Parry’s latest album Witness and this particular interview/talk event was called ‘Witness Worldwide’.

Guess what? After this interview, I’ve started liking Katy Parry more than I usually did. Psss… I always thought her as a teenage dreamer.

Guess what one more time? She is 32! Not a teenage dreamer after all!

A piece of a vlog from a few weeks back!


Article(s) I’m enjoying (and pondering)

51 Popular Books Summarized in 3 Sentences or Less – In a hurry but want some quick wisdom? This article from James Clear is a neat collection of 51 books review in 3 sentences or less. Of course, many of us don’t have time to read the number of books we should generally read as humans or some of us aren’t just readers by choice. But this collection can really help you level up your wisdom in many areas like -Intellect, Business, Productivity, Goals settings etc with the least investment of time.


What I’m reading/watching/listening to

Well! This talk event really blew my mind. So putting the original video in this section this week.

I was so thrilled after listening to it, that I did a review of it on my Anchor Channel.

I see Katy Perry in a new light now and hats off to Neil deGrasse Tyson!


Quote I’m pondering on lately – Pss…This week’s quote is also referred from the Neil, Katy talk.

“The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.”

— Galileo Galilei


Until Next Saturday!
