Hininga is the breath of life—when a person passes away, we say their breath was taken away from them. Here we meditate on how that applies to your present experience. Then, we will do some grounding visualization. Using the elements of air and earth, we remind ourselves of our place in the world.

In this episode, I ramble about my belief on psychospiritual matters, trying to define what “occult psychology” truly means.
Based on the writings of the exorcist Fr. Syquia, we talk about psychic and demonic powers.
The occult in the history of psychology, as well as grounded perspectives on the possibility of paranormal phenomena.
