Superimposing Pentatonics on Coltrane's 'Giant steps'

In todays video I wanted to share an exercise I am practicing daily that I have found so calming
at this time as it focuses my mind on the present moment.

Just by chance recently whilst I was experimenting superimposing Pentatonic scales on to John Coltrane's Giant Steps I discovered that by playing them super slowI experienced a well being of spirit.
I felt stronger, more optimistic. It was like a panacea.
