QFR #11: How Ra Sleep Lenses will change your life forever
jeudi 22 juillet 2021 • Duration 13:43
A lot of people have recently been posting stories and tweets talking about how their sleep is being transformed with Ra Sleep Lenses.

Matt Maruca is a young man who faced health challenges as a kid and after all traditional strategies failed, took it upon himself to understand how the body works, and heal. He came to understand that light is the primary driving force in all of life, and contrary to what is believed in most of the health world, our modern, indoor, technology-based lifestyle, and not just our food, is the primary driver of the modern chronic disease epidemic. He founded Ra Optics, named after Ra, The Egyptian god of sunlight, medicine, and healing, to create products to make people’s lives better using light, starting with Blue Light Blocking Glasses. He also distilled down everything he learned into a protocol called “The Light Diet” that anyone can use to heal and thrive with light.
His research on light revealed that there is, in fact, a solid scientific foundation for many of the teachings of the Ancient East, and inspired him onto a deeper spiritual quest of how to be the best that we can be in this existence.
On this podcast, he shares insights from his research and travels on subjects such as light, wellness, spirituality, humanity, and running an online business while traveling the world.

QFR #10: Learning About Surrender
mercredi 23 juin 2021 • Duration 23:08
In this quantum field report I share some experiences that I have been having recently that are leading me to the conclusion that there is much greater intelligence than ourselves out there and that it's possible that one of the best things that we can do is to "surrender" in a sense; not to cower down from our lives and feel powerless, but actually to embrace everything that we have and to do the absolute best that we can with what's on our plate every day; surrendering in this sense to the infinite intelligence and power that's all around us.

mercredi 23 juin 2021 • Duration 18:28
Hey everyone, as I posted yesterday, I am super stoked to be announcing The Light Diet course.
This course is some thing that anyone can use to completely transform their health using light. I have explained everything simply enough that anyone can do this, no matter how much or how little they know about biology; and so that at the same time, someone who knows a lot about health can learn some thing they might not already know, or have a simple foundation of a protocol for optimizing circadian rhythms and mitochondrial health.
Until Friday night, the course is 75% off full price so absolutely anyone can get it. Also, if you purchase any two pairs of Ra Optics and add the cost your cart, you get the entire course free of charge.

QFR #8: Thoughts on Tulum Mexico and an Interesting Experience with Local Police
lundi 21 juin 2021 • Duration 14:20
Hey everybody! In this quantum field report I recount my thoughts on Tulum Mexico after the Joe Dispenza weeklong meditation retreat. It's a very interesting town with a very interesting energy, which I'm personally not most drawn to. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful place with kind people that a lot of tourists and travelers really love, and often stay.
For the type of chill vibes and experience that I prefer, I still recommend Costa Rica to people as my preferred tropical place to go to support yourself and the local people!
Also, I recount a very interesting experience that a friend of mine had with the police while we were together…

QFR #7: My Spiritual Journey in a Nutshell and Joe Dispenza Retreat Day 1
mercredi 9 juin 2021 • Duration 27:00
First of all, for Instagram, I just want to note that I have started over the order of my Quantum Field Reports because I am now posting them primarily on The Light Diet podcast. So, go to your podcast player and subscribe to The Light Diet Podcast to check out these quantum field reports on a regular basis, often several times per week. As often as I feel inspired to share!
In this quantum field report, I get into a discussion about my own spiritual journey and how I've come to see that spiritual/meditation practices are an absolute essential piece of optimal health, and of my light diet protocol.
I also get into a recap of the first full day of the Joe Dispenza weeklong event. My intention is to share with you some breadcrumbs of the most valuable pieces you can learn, but ultimately to inspire you to pursue your own health and spiritual journey by getting started with The Light Diet and maybe even considering checking out someone like Dr. Joe Dispenza at some point in the future!

QFR #6: How Living Indoors and Powering the Human Body with Man-Made Light Is Like Trying to Power a Refrigerator with a Phone Charger
mercredi 9 juin 2021 • Duration 10:54
In this quantum field report I get into a discussion about some thing that I just made an Instagram post and a tweet about as well. It is the fact that the light we live under powers our body, and if we live in doors under man-made/artificial light sources, it is literally like trying to power a refrigerator with a phone charger, in the sense that the energy provided by the one is completely and thoroughly insufficient to provide the energy required by the other.

QFR #5: Perceived Challenges, Struggles, and Negative Feelings Reveal Where We Have Not Yet Fully Surrendered to Pure Love (‘The Obstacle is The Way’)
dimanche 23 mai 2021 • Duration 25:58
Just to be clear, I love to listen to music, to sing, and to enjoy life’s beautiful joys and pleasures. In this quantum field report, I begin by discussing how people who find that they cannot sit in a car by themselves quietly for hours (like a meditation), or constantly need to listen to music, or need any other sort of external source of pleasure to feel good, may find that their mind is filled with thoughts and beliefs that they cannot stand to just be with. I’ve been like this for much of my life and am working on growing, always. I tie this to another subject, which is that wherever we feel challenges, struggles, or negative emotions reveals where we hold belief systems that literally stand in our way of pure love, God-realization or “enlightenment”. As always, these are just my thoughts and things I think about a lot. I hope you find them valuable, inspiring, or insightful to your journey.

QFR #4: Carribean Costa Rica

I thought it would be nice to share some of my experiences with the energy of this town with you to inspire the potential or existing traveler within you. I also share how this is a great place to practice The Light Diet.
