Ep. 204: Social Habits During Quarantine

Did you know that the longest solitary confinement sentence was 44 years!
Solitary confinement has been one of the worst ways to punish someone. This is because we are social animals, and we need social interaction to feel happy and to feel alive. As soon as that is taken away, we are left with our thoughts.

Right now, the entire world is in some form of confinement. We've lost our abilities to be free and venture out. We've lost the ability to be social, among other things that we used to take for granted.
Especially if you live by yourself, times like these may be exceptionally tough.
On this episode, Ashdin talks about the social habits we can keep during this quarantined time to make it the most social times of our lives. Tune in to find out how.

Ep. 194: Minimalism - Give Things Away

Did you know that at the height of the Cold War, it was estimated that the United States had about 32,000 nuclear weapons and the Soviet Union had another 33,000 nuclear weapons?

Ep. 186: Mystic And Spiritual

Did you know that the whirling dance or meditation of the Sufi has a very fun origin? It involves a 13th-Century mystic, a clanking hammer, whirling, dizziness and a trance-like state of complete peace and ecstacy.
Ashdin just had his first experience of this yesterday. He went to a Sufi workshop, half expecting to fall flat on his face with all the spinning. Feel dizzy and disoriented. However, he encountered a great feeling of peace.
On this episode, Ashdin talks about being open to exploring spirituality and mysticism. These are often touchy subjects because of our logical mind, our thinking mind and our scientific mind do not accept it. We only believe in things we understand or can explain.

However, there is a big difference between the things we can feel and the things we can understand. Tune in to the episode to understand this better.
