Searching for Ace Asad William Shah

A short guided meditation for when you need to inject some positivity and well-being into your life! While the exercise is short, take the practices within this audio and use it to lengthen your own meditation sessions when able.



This marks the beginning of Season 2 with lots of exciting things to come! Stay tuned.

In this episode I discuss my personal experience and fascination with Lucid Dreaming. Granted this is a niche topic in terms of Mental Health but I passionately believe it is an exceptional tool for practicing Mindfulness.

Lucid dreaming is a vast topic and I could talk about it for hours and hours, so consider this an overview.

I go through the benefits of lucid dreaming as well as the downsides to this practice. Like everything in life with hard work, determination and grit you can wield this powerful tool to do wonders in your personal life!

I elaborate on two very vivid dreams I had in the early days which I remember to this day!

For further reference material to sink your teeth into, check out this fantastic book on the subject: Dreams of Awakening – Charlie Morley

I also briefly discuss a wonderful app called Goodreads where you can keep track of your personal library and what you want to read, are reading or have finished reading, etc.

For you movie buffs out there who want to see lucid dreaming Hollywood style, check out the brilliant movie Inception.

Remember use lucid dreaming as a means of mindfulness and entertainment but live your best life when you are awake! Until next time, stay well!

A short message for this week’s Midweek Mindfulness segment. Always believe in yourself. Shield yourself from negativity. Never stop working on self-care and self-improvement and most of all never stop being optimistic! Put out Light and Joy into this world and feel the Magic return! Happy Midweek Reset! I hope you carry on with this mindset to the best of your ability. All the best! Much love! Take care until we meet again :)

Saturdays are also meant for serenades! This was a completely impromptu session where I hit record, picked up my guitar and just started jamming out! Hope you enjoy your polar opposite of ‘SAAS’ (Serious as a Saturday) with today’s episode of ‘SS’ (Serenade Saturdays)! All original content - vocals, the lyrics and guitar are mine, except the transitional sound effects which are part of Anchor's soundboard. You heard it here first! Be well and stay groovy! You now have insider access to my music freebies such as this! Hmm, more in future episodes? Stay tuned!

Welcome to the 'Searching for Ace' podcast! I'm Asad Shah and I'm thrilled you've joined me on this journey to discuss all things Mental Health and Mindfulness in a manner that's different from the norm and one which suits my personality. This podcast and its contents will be delivered using elements of comedy, skits, voice impressions, music, as well as doses of randomness when required! 

Let’s change our Mindset and get rid of the Negative. As a welcome message and premiere episode I discuss several aspects and some will be looked at more in depth in future episodes. Expect special guest appearances in this episode from Peter and Stewie Griffin, a very insightful and convincing Salesman, a South Indian man, Slithery Jim and Ken Kaniff to start things off this season! 

I highlight the importance of dealing with outside noise and negativity and how to drown that out. In addition - how we respond to things is critical on determining a more positive outcome. I touch upon what's new in my life and what I'm currently focusing on besides the podcast and lay out the plans for this season's content. Meditation is something I encourage everyone to try and I recommend an amazing app to help you on your journey! 

There may be an improvised short song in the middle of this episode, perhaps some beatboxing too! Look out for easter eggs and if you've got keen hearing and true attention to detail I may say things slightly differently or incorrectly on purpose, just to see who catches onto it! Note those things down - they are usually in joke format and who knows - there may be a contest later on where I ask you to submit your entries! To give you a head start I will drop just one hint and tell you that the first easter egg is somewhere in the tail-end of this episode. That's all for now! 

Let's dive into the happy side of things! I'm glad you've made it this far!
