Episode Overview: In this episode, Rowan Ramsay returns to share his healing journey through breathwork, as detailed in his new book, The Art of Breath: Breathwork for Healing and Transformation.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/441445/open_sms] Jack joined me today to talk about the PGM, where it comes from, who it's for, and the two classes he has developed to guide people through working this magic, especially the second PGM class, which focuses on inner change and building your power. Jack Grayle is a modern mystic and author who has dedicated his life to uncovering and sharing the transformative power of ancient magic. His journey led him to forge a profound connection with Hekate—a mysterious, liminal deity whose guidance not only transformed his own life but also inspired him to write The Hekataeon, a complete system of self-initiation into her mysteries. Today, Jack channels his experiences into teaching online courses at The Blackthorne School, where he helps others unlock the forgotten secrets of the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM) and re-enchant their everyday lives with meaning and magic.  You can find Jack and the classes at the following links: https://www.theblackthorneschool.com/ [https://www.theblackthorneschool.com/] https://jackgrayle.com/ [https://jackgrayle.com/] https://www.theblackthorneschool.com/challenge-page/a497453b-dbff-4978-882f-fb8a3065db52?programId=a497453b-dbff-4978-882f-fb8a3065db52 [https://www.theblackthorneschool.com/challenge-page/a497453b-dbff-4978-882f-fb8a3065db52?programId=a497453b-dbff-4978-882f-fb8a3065db52] Full show notes at www.akashatalks.com/ep035pgm [http://www.akashatalks.com/ep035pgm] Thanks for listening  Lance Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/user?u=22594525]

Episode Overview: In this episode, we delve into the mysteries of sensory perception and internal imagery. We question whether the mind continues to generate internal sensory experiences—even in aphantasia, where “imageless imagery” might still emerge (Chang et al., 2025). Our conversation examines how autism, with its sensory overload, may amplify external inputs to such an extent that inner experiences are overshadowed, prompting a discussion on whether practices like sensory deprivation, meditation, and brainwave stimulation (via binaural beats, isochronic tones, and SSVEP) can restore balance. We further explore the spectrum from aphantasia to hyperphantasia, considering possible correlations with heightened hypnotic responsiveness, and delve into techniques in memory work, hypnosis, psychedelics, lucid dreaming, and even polyphasic sleep cycles. Does aphantasia truly impact therapeutic change if our minds continuously craft imagery outside conscious awareness? Can minds learn how to visualise?

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/441445/open_sms] Dr Paulina Trevena is a hypnotherapist and a researcher, with 18 years’ experience in academic research. Paulina, who is neurodivergent with aphantasia and ADHD, specialises in supporting people with these conditions. During her hypnosis training, she realised having aphantasia was a barrier to experiencing hypnosis – and started a research project into aphantasia and hypnosis. Her mission is to raise awareness of aphantasia and promote best practices in working with clients with limited or no mental imagery. Paulina runs a personal development company called No Woo Woo! These are just some of the questions we covered in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr Paulina Trevena: How does having aphantasia impact experiences of hypnosis and meditation?  Why does this matter for hypnotherapists? How does it impact memory? What about (night) dreams? What are the misconceptions within the hypnosis world around aphantasia? How can we approach working with aphantasic clients? Is there a cure for aphantasia? What about the role of trauma in all of this? A profound dive into all things aphantasia! She'll cover many of these topics during her upcoming talk at the UK Hypnosis Convention [https://www.facebook.com/ukhypnosisconvention?__tn__=-]K*F]! Renaissance Hotel, London, her talk is on SATURDAY 15th @11.15 am. If you're a hypnotherapist, come and join her there!
