I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. In season one of Slomo, one of my absolute favorite guests and a dear

dear person to my heart was Matioricard, who is known to be the world happiest man.

Because of a neuro science experiment that he did that showed that his brain has been reconfigured so drastically because of his 60,000 hours of lifetime meditation,

that he is actually able to focus and find happiness a lot better than the rest of us.

Matthew is funny, he is kind, he's compassionate, it's definitely an episode that you would want to go back and listen to if you haven't or maybe re-listened to it if you have the time

My guest today is equally as nice as kind as compassionate. He is the neuroscientist that did the study with

Mathieu, Dr Stephen Lauris, who is an award-winning neurologist and neuroscientist,

recognized worldwide for that research

and his work on consciousness, the neurology of consciousness.

He is the head of the

urology of the Giga Consciousness Research Unit

and Brain Clinic of the University Hospital of Leage in Belgium.

He is the professor at the curvo brain center at LaValle

University in Canada and he is the founder of the Mind Care International Foundation

and the former president of the Association

for the Scientific Study of Consciousness.

He has published more than 500 scientific articles on the workings of the human brain

as it relates to mindfulness and consciousness and other topics.

He's a serious advocate of the idea that mindfulness and meditation should be prescribed as part of the medical practice to patients.
