The term ‘rat-race’ was coined long before we had smartphones and social media. It has even more meaning today when we’re at risk of becoming rats in a worldwide laboratory, monitored and manipulated by technology giants and artificial intelligence. Therefore, it is even more important to take control of our own minds father than let other do it for you. Michael Hutchinson shows the way through yoga, with a combination of bodywork, breathwork and attention, a concept often referred to as mindfulness. Michael trained under a late renowned teacher, TKV Desikachar in the 1980s when yoga was just beginning to be recognised in the West.
He abandoned a successful career in physics to concentrate on teaching and building awareness of the benefits of yoga. His book, Breath for Health, is based on over thirty years of training and practice. Michael has taught breathing several times at the annual World Yoga Festival and is well-respected for his sensitive approach to the needs of people who are hesitant about working with their breath. He is also Chair of British Council for Yoga Therapy. To learn more about yoga, breathing, taking control of our lives, join Michael Hutchinson with Humphrey Hawksley on the Goldster Magazine Show 1pm Tuesday July 16th 2024.
Roxana Dragusel is a scientist, Reiki healer, spiritual coach, and a keen observer of human nature. Her work is a result of both psychic insight and long experience with energy work, personal development and self-awareness, and she is the founder of The Inside Monarch (https://theinsidemonarch.com), an e-learning platform for spirituality and personal development.
Among her books are Life is a Honeycomb: Mindfulness and Reflection Planner and The 10 Principles of the Feminine: How to Embrace Feminine Energy and the Power Within. Roxana guides on journaling, motivational stories, mindfulness and a canon of skills that are familiar to Goldster members. She redefines feminine energy far beyond any dictionary definition and argues for the importance of honouring and cultivating this force.
Feminine energy is not an attribute of the fairer sex; it is a component of all living things, she says. Its true meaning seems to have been lost somewhere and, with it, people’s potential of authentic self-expression. Identifying feminine energy in yourself and others is essential for leading a balanced and fulfilling life. To find out more join Roxana Dragusel with Humphrey Hawksley on the Goldster Magazine Show 1pm Tuesday August 6th 2024.

In his latest book The Matter with Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World, Iain asks blunt questions that rattle around in many of our minds. Who are we? What is the world? How can we understand consciousness, matter, space and time? Is the cosmos without purpose or value? Can we really neglect the sacred and divine? He knows how different sides of our brain work to feed into what is our character, our emotions and each of us as a person. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains.
Philip Pullman named The Matter with Things as his book of the year. And the questions keep coming: Is the world essentially inert and mechanical – nothing but a collection of things for us to use? Are we ourselves nothing but the playthings of chance, embroiled in a war of all against all? Why, indeed, are we engaged in destroying everything that is valuable to us? Join The Goldster Magazine Show for this fascinating conversation when Humphrey Hawksley will be talking to Iain McGilchrist at 1pm UK time on Tuesday August 13th 2024.
