If you are an active member of the Catalyst Community, but are not receiving our emails in your inbox every month, here are some steps you can take:

1. Mark the InnerScience emails as “Not Spam” or “Not Junk”

Marking from InnerScience emails from info@innerscienceresearch.org as “Not Spam” will ensure that our emails go straight to your inbox.

Gmail: Open the spam or junk folder, find the email, and click the “Not Spam” button.

2. Add the InnerScience to Your Contacts or Safe Sender List

Adding us to your contacts or safe sender list will help signal to your email service that emails from this address are legitimate. You can add specific email addresses or domains you want to always receive emails from, ensuring they bypass spam filters; essentially, you are “whitelisting” them. You can add info@innerscienceresearch.org to this list. 

Gmail: Open the email, click on the three dots in the top-right corner, and select “Add [sender] to Contacts.”

3. Create a Filter or Rule

You can create a custom filter/rule that ensures emails from that specific sender always go to your inbox.

Gmail: Go to Settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses > Create a New Filter. Enter the sender’s email, and select “Never send it to Spam.”.

4. Check Your Spam/Junk Settings

Some email providers offer settings that might be too aggressive in filtering out legitimate emails. Check the filtering settings in your email account and adjust them to be less strict or to “whitelist” certain senders.

Another great way to stay in touch is to join our Catalyst Community Telegram Channel. You can find the invite link in your initial welcome email from InnerScience. You are also welcome to reach out to us through our ‘Contact Us’ page for support.

InnerScience Research Fund is a nonprofit organization launched in January 2022. Our Mission is funding research on the biological and physiological effects of meditation on the human body.

Currently, we are funding the analysis of the data from groundbreaking research at Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditation retreats, led by a team of researchers from UC San Diego. It is their aim to document the science behind the body’s innate ability to heal using the power of meditation and to publish their findings in esteemed, peer-reviewed journals.

In 2023, we committed $10 million in support of UC San Diego over the next 5 years, saw the publication of the first research paper, wrapped up production of our first documentary, and paid UC San Diego more than $2.8m. View our 2023 annual report here.

In 2024, we presented UC San Diego with their next installment of $2 million, launched our first documentary in 16 languages to share with the world (proceeds from SOURCE – It’s Within You go to InnerScience Research Fund), and approved research funding for three additional prestigious organizations that are also conducting studies on the effects of meditation on human health: HeartMath Institute, The Institute of Noetic Sciences, and DMT Quest. You can read more in our 2024 Annual Report.

So far in 2025, we have given UC San Diego $4.4 million, which included a supplemental $2.4 million, made possible through the generosity of our donor community.  We made SOURCE – It’s Within You accessible to people around the world on multiple platforms, and saw the publication of the second research paper. There are more studies in various stages of research and publication, so we invite you to stay tuned for further milestones!

We believe everyone deserves to know they have the power within to heal and thrive, and our Vision is a world where meditation is an integral part of the standard of (health)care in preventing and treating illness and disease. We want doctors and health practitioners across the globe to feel confident prescribing meditation, and the only way to accomplish this is by providing sound, scientific evidence that meditation heals, because evidence is the loudest voice.
