Exploring Different Spiritual Teachers and Practices

I'm thrilled to sit down again with my longtime friend Matt Maruca, founder of Ra Optics (visit lukestorey.com/raoptics and use code LUKE for 10% off your order) and one of the world’s leading experts when it comes to understanding how light impacts human health. 

After suffering from poor health himself in high school, he skipped the standard path of higher education and started his own business producing blue light blocking glasses. His journey of self-education led him to become a passionate student and teacher of Photobiology – the science of how light and electromagnetic fields affect biology.

Matt knows more about optimizing light for health than anyone I know. 

We geek out on the latest research, chat about our travels and experiences, and discuss the inner cultivation of spiritual light in addition to environmental light hygiene. We also talk about actionable tips for improving sleep, boosting energy, supporting circadian rhythms, and using proper light exposure techniques and tech tools like blue light glasses.

Matt also shares his evolving perspective after years on the road, integrating both science and spirituality in his personal philosophy and business. You don’t want to miss it.
