Most people dabble in meditation. I took a different path. For the last 22 years, I've meditated every single day—more than 10,000 times, without missing once.In this episode, I share the surprising lessons that came from that level of consistency. You'll hear why what people call a “monkey mind” is really just stress leaving the body, how to recognize your heart's voice with more clarity, and why you're never actually behind in life—you're always on divine time. I also open up about how meditation reshaped my relationship to other people's opinions, revealed the truth about soulmates, and helped me make faster, better decisions by choosing what expands me instead of what looks good on paper.These aren't hacks or clichés—they're hard-earned insights from sitting down, day after day, for more than two decades. If you've ever wondered what meditation can really do for you, this episode will give you an inside look.If you enjoyed this episode, you may also like:How to Get Meditation to Work for You5 Meditation Misconceptions that are making it HARDERWant to be more in alignment with your purpose?

In 2021, the World Health Organization made a historic recommendation: to widely use the first ever malaria vaccine, RTS,S. This recommendation was based on evidence generated from a pilot vaccine implementation programme in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi that has reached more than 800 000 children since 2019. This is an excellent example of how evidence based on implementation research tells us whether health interventions, such as vaccines, will be effective in real life, after clinical trials show its efficacy and safety. In this episode, Margaret Gyapong of the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana shares her first-hand experiences and learnings from the malaria vaccine pilot. Lee Hampton of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, also tells us how implementation research has played a key role in the success of health programmes for diseases such as yellow fever, typhoid and more.Host Garry Aslanyan speaks with the following guests:Margaret Gyapong: Director, Institute for Health Research at the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ghana Lee Hampton: Vaccine preventable disease surveillance and vaccine safety focal point atGavi, the Vaccine Alliance, SwitzerlandDisclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest cosmic revelations, including the astonishing discovery of an ancient interstellar comet, the intricate workings of a rare pulsar, and the safe return of the Axiom 4 crew from their mission.Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/AtlasAstronomers have unveiled that the newly discovered interstellar object, 3I/Atlas, could be the oldest comet ever observed, potentially predating our solar system by over 3 billion years. This water-rich visitor, detected by NASA's ATLAS survey, is only the third known object from beyond our solar system to reach us. A study by Matthew Hopkins from Oxford University suggests that 3I/Atlas may be more than 7 billion years old, offering a glimpse into a part of the Milky Way previously unseen. As it approaches the sun, its activity is expected to increase, revealing more about its composition and the role ancient comets play in star and planetary formation.Unraveling the Mysteries of a Rare PulsarIn another exciting development, astronomers have made significant strides in understanding a unique pulsar system, PSRJ 1023 0038. This transitional millisecond pulsar, which interacts with a lower mass stellar companion, has been studied using data from NASA's Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The findings suggest that the X-ray emissions originate from the pulsar wind rather than the accretion disk, challenging existing models and providing new insights into neutron star behavior and particle acceleration.Axiom Space AX4 Crew ReturnsThe Axiom Space AX4 crew has successfully splashed down in the North Pacific Ocean after nearly three weeks aboard the International Space Station. This mission, part of NASA's efforts to promote commercial activities in space, included a diverse crew and numerous scientific experiments. With the return of the AX4 crew, preparations are underway for NASA's upcoming Crew 11 mission, further expanding humanity's presence in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Journal of the American Medical Associationhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 New interstellar object 3I/Atlas may be older than our solar system06:44 Foreign astronomers have discovered new evidence Explaining how pulsing remnants interact in space14:09 Private company Axiom Space's AX4 crew return safely to Earth16:06 Having a higher body mass index from early childhood and adolescence is linked to aging17:32 New study looked at which over the counter medicines are good at treating depression18:43 Brazilian psychic issues chilling warning about dangers posed by artificial intelligence
The Gateway Program is a $16 billion project to build new tunnels under the Hudson River to improve service for Amtrak and NJ Transit trains. But as the project prepares to break ground, they have uncovered some mysterious — and some historically illuminating — obstacles, including a totally unaccounted for staircase to nowhere, pig bones from the Meatpacking District's meatpacking days, and a bevy of wires, cables, and other infrastructure dreamed up by the engineers of yesteryear. Stephen Nessen, transit reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about the discoveries, and how Gateway crews will have to work around these buried treasures from the past.

In our interview with Linda Bamber-Olson, founder of the WAVwatch, we explore the powerful role of sound frequency in health and wellness. Linda shares how her personal journey—growing up with hearing loss and witnessing her family's cancer battles—inspired her to create a wearable, EMF-free device that delivers targeted frequencies through the skin to support the body's natural healing processes. The WAVwatch 2.0 is easy to wear and preloaded with frequency programs addressing issues like pain, sleep, stress, detox, circulation, inflammation, Lyme disease, cognitive focus, and more. Unlike other wearables, it avoids Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and relies on safe, non-invasive vibration therapy based on the idea that every organ and cell has a natural frequency that can be rebalanced when disrupted. Linda's mission combines holistic wellness with practical technology, offering a drug-free, user-friendly tool to restore harmony in the body—making sound therapy accessible for people of all ages and health conditions.Linda Bamber-Olson developed a passion for sound after being born deaf in one ear. Her love for percussion revealed the healing power of vibrations, inspiring her to explore sound as a wellness tool. This passion, paired with frustration over limited options during her mother and sister's battles with breast cancer, led her to create BRAS, a business focused on thermography and breast health. Linda's journey culminated in the creation of the WAVWatch, a wearable device using sound frequencies to promote wellness, now widely praised for providing instant relief. A sought-after speaker, she has appeared on podcasts with experts like Carrie Madej and Dr. Bryan Ardis, sharing insights on sound healing. Linda's groundbreaking work continues to inspire, and her book detailing her health journey is set for release in early 2025.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!4:59 About Linda Bamber Olson5:51 Welcome her to the show!7:15 The healing potentials of sound10:28 Discoveries of Tesla and Rife15:37 How does sound differ from vibration?19:19 What is resonsance in the body?23:15 Minerals for cellular health25:56 WAV Watch frequency sets31:00 *MIMIO*33:35 Epstein-Barr & Lyme support38:02 Stories of WAV Watch transformations44:25 EMF-Free watch48:44 How Linda got into sound frequencies50:18 Thermography vs Mammography1:00:20 BRAS Thermography Locations1:00:59 More about WAV Watch1:06:21 Her final piece of 1:07:15 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: Wav Watch - code: BIOHACKERBABES for $100 offBRAS ThermographyInstagramYouTubeFacebookTikTokMimio Health - code: biohackerbabes to save 20%Our Sponsors:* Check out Puori: https://Puori.com/BIOHACKERBABESSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

There comes a time when you read the scriptures that you are going to have more questions than answers. Does that mean you should be concerned? No. Here's why: what makes the Word of God interesting and such a mystery is that it will leave you with the opportunity to search for those answers. It will give you the opportunity to get on your knees and ask God for his to reveal things to you. Matthews 7:7 NLT says, Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” So if you don't receive an answer at first, give it time. This episode was inspired by a Bible study I had with a friend. Yes this could have easily been a Bible reflection solo or with friends but this conversation made me go back and revisit the text and learn something I might have missed with deeper insight. I love the practice of thinking deeply and that's exactly what this passage did for me so I share it with you today. The text was Matthew 2:1-2 inspired by Bible study. Hope you enjoy!
