My guest today is Matthew Zoltan, creator of the Undo meditation app.Many of us are looking for new ways to heal ourselves. The most effective methods of healing require us to first understand our experience in our physical form, and re-connect with our own body, which is often where we hold the blocks, wounds and traumas. Join us for a fascinating insight into how Matthew discovered his meditation method.Do stay tuned to the end of the episode when Matthew leads us in a 20 minute meditation.Here’s a short overview of some of the information you can find on Matthew’s website:“Matthew’s unique insights stem from decades of hands-on exploration, successfully helping professionals and clients to overcome the whole spectrum of mental and physical health issues and trauma. His approach is tailored for people seeking to balance a busy lifestyle with personal wellbeing, addressing the specific challenges of stress and burnout that come with living in our digital world.Through years of personal enquiry, Matthew has come to understand the correct and optimal function of the human organism. He has discovered and proven that everything in life (beyond the purely mechanical) is primarily understood through the senses and felt sensations in the body – how we physically feel, moment to moment. And that it is here, in the physical feeling and sensations in the body, that all trauma, distress and illness is resolved.”Dawn 🌹RESOURCESWebsite: https://mattzoltan.com/Undo App: https://undoapp.com/N.B.

My guest today is my friend, Christopher Gardner, also known as Topher.As he says on his website:“TopherHq is the clearing house for all the curiosities and experiments that Chris’Topher’ Gardner has given his attention to. Philosophy and innovation are the primary drivers that populate this site’s content. Having over 20 years of professional experience with massage, coaching, construction, architecture, and inventing has led to a phenomenonolgy that is both unique and grounded.There is truly, ‘Never a Dull Moment’ once you enter these walls……primarily because our walls are curved.”The majority of our conversation is a discussion of the important topic of Male/Female dynamics in which we expose how we have been manipulated to believe false stories that contribute substantially to the issues we are currently facing and how that impacts the way we live.We also discuss Topher’s new project that he will be launching soon on a new website. This project involves the production of BioChar to provide the soil what it requires to grow healthy plants, and therefore healthy food. He reveals some surprising personal products they will be creating, so stay tuned to the end of the podcast to hear the exciting details.I will share details of the new website as soon as they are available, so stay subscribed to learn about the launch.Dawn 🌹RESOURCESWebsite: https://topherhq.com/Telegram: https://t.me/BioCharismaPodSubstack: https://biocharisma.substack.com/Sphering the Hyper-Cube of…Reality (the article Topher mentions in our conversation)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biocharisma/All Topher’s other social media platforms can be found on his websiteThank you for your support. 🙏Podcast music: Unique track composed by Alex Michael, aka Conspiracy Music GuruVideo Intro: Unique creation by Steve Falconer of SpacebustersDawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, we begin by discussing some of the criticisms levelled against homeopathy and Lisa explains why those criticisms are misleading. We also cover a few other potential misunderstandings relating to homeopathy, including terms used to describe conditions people experience.Our conversation then veers into miasms, childhood illnesses, the energetic nature of homeopathic remedies and how homeopathy can be seen as closely connected to sound healing, plus a few other juicy topics.We follow this with the exciting news alluded to in the title - which is that Lisa is launching a completely new course in January 2026.The course title is Practitioner of Integrative Homeopathy: Acute Prescribing, or PIHAP for short, which Lisa describes on her website as being ‘A First-of-Its-Kind Accredited Training in Acute Integrative Homeopathy™’This course represents a huge step forward for anyone wishing to take responsibility for their health and that of their family, as well as for health practitioners.

Adam & Josh Bigelsen are two of the key voices in the effort to raise awareness of the fact that ‘terrain’ is not a theory, but a paradigm that has been proven over time by real results in the real world.In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss: the real role of parasites, fungi and bacteria; how regenerative farmers understand the importance of a healthy microbiome for a healthy soil; how we are part of nature, not separate from it, and much more…Adam & Josh also talk about their event, Terrainology, in New York in September - link below.I decided to make all of this podcast episode available to everyone because of its importance to counter the propaganda narratives about health that continue to feature in both the mainstream and alternative media.I also decided to publish the video version of the podcast before the audio version, because Adam shares a number of images and some video footage of what they actually see in the blood. And these images need to be seen to understand what they’re talking about.If you’re listening to the audio, please consider watching the video version:VIDEO VERSIONWhether you are already familiar with their work or not, I’m sure you’ll find this a fascinating conversation.Dawn 🌹Resources:Terrainology: https://www.universityofterrain.com/terrainologyBigelsen Academy: https://bigelsenacademy.com/University of Terrain: https://www.universityofterrain.com/home-lut-enThank you for your support. 🙏Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

Today I’m joined by Philip Kinsella and Chris John Mayes to discuss their recently published book, The Eternal Avatar: Discovering Who & What You Really Are Beyond The Material Realm.I connected with Philip and Chris through our mutual friend Brandon Thomas, the creator of Ridiginal Publishing, who published their book.In our conversation, Philip and Chris talk about the many similarities they share, such as being twins and the amazing number of synchronicities that led to their writing of the book.We discuss some of the topics they cover in the book, such as psychic abilities, NDEs, channelling, and UFOs; topics that may seem unrelated, but are clearly interconnected.Join us for a fascinating conversation.Dawn 🌹Useful Resources:My Odysee channel for the video versionWebsites:http://www.chrismayes.ukhttp://www.thekinsellatwins.comhttp://www.philipkinsella.comThe Eternal Avatar book on Amazon.comRidiginal PublishingThank you for your support. 🙏My Patreon page: patreon.com/DawnofDiscernmentDawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

My guest today is Lauren Riddei, who I met earlier this year at Confluence. We realised after just a few minutes of talking that we had much in common, especially with respect to our research into and concerns about the environmental factors that play a role in our health.Lauren’s journey has taken her to understand that our home is more than just where we live; it has a huge impact on our health and well-being. Her journey of discovery revealed to her the profound connection between our external physical environments (live, work, play) and our internal landscape (psycho-emotional thoughts, feelings, beliefs).Join us for a fascinating conversation in which we weave all these aspects together.I decided to make this a single episode that is available to everyone because of the valuable information that Lauren shares later in the conversation.Dawn 🌹Useful Resources:My Odysee Channel for the video versionLauren’s websites and linksWebsite: https://www.hausholistics.com/Hausholistics podcast on YouTubeHausholistics podcast on AppleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hausholistics/Interior Design: https://loulouinteriors.com/Building Biology website: https://buildingbiologyinstitute.org/find-an-expert/Thank you for your support. 🙏My Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/DawnofDiscernmentDawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

In Part 1 of this conversation with my good friend Dani Katz, we discuss her background in journalism and how language is being used to manipulate us. It’s important to remember that language is not merely a communication tool, it is also a highly creative one.Although ‘positive thinking’ can be useful, it is only one part of the process of creating through language.It therefore behooves us to become fully aware of the words we use and make sure we cast spells wisely.Dawn 🌹Part 2 will follow shortly for value exchange subscribers.Useful Resources:My Odysee Channel for the video versionLinks for Dani’s workWebsite: danikatz.comHer books: https://danikatz.com/booksLocals: danikatz.locals.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/something.dani/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@danikatz:ePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/danikatzThank you for your support. 🙏My Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/DawnofDiscernmentDawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, my good friend Dr Steven A Young PhD explains why his academic qualifications put him in exactly the right position to expose the problems with many of the current scientific theories, and how they give us a false model of reality.In addition, we discuss his love of music and his journey through the world of music, from performing as a DJ to producing his own music.We also touch on the topic of alchemy and how that is, in truth, the true and original science because it is based on the 4 real elements; namely, fire, air, water, and earth.Join us for an exposé of science from someone who trained within their hallowed halls, yet still managed to see the fundamental flaws.Dawn 🌹Useful Resources:My Odysee Channel for the video versionLinks for Steve’s work:Website: stevenyoung.ukYoutube: youtube.com/@steven_a_youngPatreon: patreon.com/c/steven_a_youngTelegram channel: @stevenyoungukAll links: https://linktr.ee/steven_a_youngBook: A Fool’s Wisdom - available through AmazonSigned copies - through his website https://stevenyoung.uk/Illuminate & Elevate - 13th/14th September 2025 in EnglandThank you for your support. 🙏Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

My guest today is a new friend, Jaya Simrit Kaur, an international spiritual healer and teacher, kundalini yoga and meditation instructor, sound healer, spiritual constellator, oracle, mentor, and mystic.As we begin to learn more about our true nature - that we are more than just our ‘physical body’ - we will invariably lean towards ‘spirituality’. Although we can easily find a great deal of information about how we can evolve and grow through spiritual practices, at the same time, a lot of the information is misleading, which is clearly unhelpful for people who are working through difficult situations or even through trauma.This leads us to ask many questions, such as:* How can we know if someone is gaslighting us?* How can we recognise that staying in pain does not promote growth, nor will it allow healing?* How can we discern our way through all this information to find what will truly help us?Join us for an empowering conversation in which Jaya generously shares her wisdom as we explore these questions and much more…Dawn 🌹Useful Resources:My Odysee Channel for the video versionJaya's offerings:Vessel is a group journey for women that will start at the end of September.The Oracle Work is my version of a psychic reading that is unique because it’s also a healing.More details and how to join the waitlist can be found on Jaya’s website:Jaya Simrit Kaur websiteJaya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayasimritkaur/Thank you for your support. 🙏Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

Today’s conversation is with my good friend Mark Gober. We discuss the common themes of his 7-book series that seeks to end our upside down view of various aspects of life.These themes involve challenges to the mainstream view of materialism and determinism and especially the view that consciousness arises from the brain; in other words, that the physical manifests the non-physical. But this idea has never been proven.So what is consciousness?Why is it important to contemplate the nature of our thinking?What are the implications for our everyday lives?Join us for a fascinating discussion about how we can reverse the upside down view and turn everything the right side up.Dawn 🌹Useful Resources:My Odysee Channel for the video versionHow to find and support Mark:Mark Gober website Telegram channel - @MarkGoberOfficialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/markgober_author/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.gober.3X - https://x.com/MarkGoberAuthorYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@markgober6725Where is My Mind Podcast episodes - including the full length versions - at this link https://www.markgober.com/podcast-sign-upMark is also a speaker at the Living Free Festival 2025 in Australia - https://www.livingfreefestival.org/speakersHow To Support Me:What Really Makes You Ill?Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

I was delighted to have another conversation with my good friend Jordan Grant, although it’s the first one for my own podcast, to discuss knowledge, logical fallacies, and critical thinking.Discovering that so much of what we believed to be true is actually not true, whether partially or completely, raises the question: How can we know anything is true?It’s clear that those who have created most of the ‘systems’, especially the education system, have created them in a way that does not encourage us to understand the importance of critical thinking. Nor are we taught how to analyse information logically and discern whether it contains any ‘truth’ - or not!But these skills are still available for us to learn.In fact, I’d say it’s imperative we learn them to help us avoid falling into the many traps resulting from logical fallacies or becoming a victim of the ‘divide and conquer’ strategy.Join Jordan and me as we discuss how we actually know what we think we know and tear apart the notion that we even need to ‘know’ everything.Useful ResourcesDr Jordan Grant’s website:https://www.granthormone.com/Our previous conversations:March 2022 - Questioning Authority.February 2023 - panel discussion with Jordan Grant & Jerneja TomsicDawn 🌹Podcast music: Intro and Outro - Eros Love by Harris Heller.Disclaimer:The information provided and the views expressed by me and/or my guests are to be recognised as the result of research and investigation and are not to be construed as providing ‘medical’ or any other form of ‘advice’.Listeners are recommended to do their own research and encouraged to draw their own conclusions.Any links are provided for information purposes and should not to be construed as recommendations.Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

I was delighted to have a conversation with my good friend Dr Marizelle Arce, who I first met in 2023 when we both appeared as speakers on an episode of The End of Covid; the topic of that episode was ‘The Role of Bacteria’.What we’ve all experienced since 2020 has encouraged many people to revise their approach to health, including how they perceive diseases that are claimed to be caused by so-called ‘viruses’.But what about bacteria? Or fungi? Or parasites?What exactly are ‘germs’?Has any ‘germ’ been shown to be the cause of disease?If not, what is their true role in the body?What is pleomorphism and how is it relevant to the health of our body?What is the ‘terrain paradigm’?Join Mari and me for a dive into the world of ‘germs’ to answer those questions and discover why she claims that, as in the title of her new book, Germs Are Not Our Enemy.Useful ResourcesDr Marizelle’s websites:Germs Are Not Our Enemy - the bookDr MarizelleDr Marizelle on SubstackThe End of CovidDawn 🌹Podcast music: Intro and Outro - Eros Love by Harris Heller.Disclaimer:The information provided and the views expressed by me and/or my guests are to be recognised as the result of research and investigation and are not to be construed as providing ‘medical’ or any other form of ‘advice’.Listeners are recommended to do their own research and encouraged to draw their own conclusions.Any links are provided for information purposes and should not to be construed as recommendations.Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

I was fortunate to sit down with Asher Cowan (Dr Tom Cowan’s son) at Confluence to talk about the New Biology Clinic.This conversation was the inspiration that led me to create my podcast.If you’re familiar with my work, you’ll be aware of my research in which I’ve shown that the mainstream medical system does not operate from a true understanding of how the body functions; which means their ‘solutions’ fall short of truly helping people recover their health.The New Biology Clinic team, on the other hand, does understand how the human body functions. They also understand how important it is for people to take responsibility for their own health.That’s why I’m supportive of Dr. Tom Cowan and his team at the New Biology ClinicAs I explain in my conversation, using code dawn18 allows you a reduction on your membership activation fee - website link below.Click here to access The New Biology Clinic WebsiteHere’s my previous article on the topic,Dawn 🌹Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

After much contemplation, and admittedly some persuasion, I’ve finally decided to launch a podcast.The final straw that helped me make the decision came about from a meeting I had at Confluence - the result of which forms the second episode of this podcast - so stay tuned!I’ve been aware for some time that many people like to listen while they drive/travel/work/play and often don’t have much time to read. So I’ve decided that, as well as conversations with amazing people, I’ll also record what I regard as the more important of my Substack articles and release them as podcasts.Thank you for joining me in this new adventure.Dawn 🌹Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.
