Only those with eagle-eyed vision can spot cat in image of woman sweeping
A mind-bending optical illusion has left people baffled as they struggle to spot a hidden cat within a seemingly ordinary image. Some have been locked in for minutes or even hours trying to find this hidden animal - and you wouldn't believe how hard it actually is, reports The Mirror. The picture, shared on the Reddit thread r/opticalillusions, appears to show a red-haired woman standing in the centre, holding a brush, with a colourful curtain, door, and bucket in the background. However, a sneaky feline is lurking somewhere in the image - but can you spot it? The post asks: "Can you spot the cat in this optical illusion?". After staring at the image for a while, some users threw in the towel, admitting they couldn't find the cat anywhere. But others came to the rescue, revealing that the solution lies in rotating your screen. If you're yet to find the cat, and don't want a clue, do not scroll on below. One user said: "Hint: turn your screen clockwise 90 degrees." Another user added: "Tilt your phone to the right, the cat is a silhouette on the wall, formed by the lady's arms and the tapestry." A third user suggested: "Looking at the photo, next to the lady's ear on the right-hand side and tilt your phone 90 degrees to the right." Once the cat's location was revealed, users couldn't help but see it. One user commented: "Once you see it, you can't not see it." Another user noted: "It's in the negative space between the arm and the curtain." According to Mindvalley, this type of problem-solving requires lateral thinking, a creative approach that involves thinking outside the box. As they explain: "The brain is neuroplastic, meaning it has the ability to shift and change over time. Many people believe our brains age as we do, growing less powerful, less capable, and less competent over time." It continues: "What most don't realise, however, is that you have the ability to manipulate your brain the way a sculptor moulds clay. Hint: turn your screen clockwise 90 degrees. "The brain is susceptible to all we expose it to – people, music, work – even the physical environments we traverse on a day-to-day basis. Everything we partake in has the potential to subtly shift the wiring of our brain."

From India to Europe: Dr. Arpit Bansal Reimagines Longevity with Nature-Aligned Biohacking at HOLOLIFE Summit 2025
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 3: At HOLOLIFE Summit 2025 Europe, widely recognized as one of the most exclusive and forward-thinking longevity conferences in the world, Dr. Arpit Bansal, a leading laparoscopic cancer surgeon and global voice in the biohacking space, delivered a keynote that left both minds stirred and hearts opened. Titled "20 Powerful Strategies to Optimize Healthspan, Flow & Human Potential", Dr. Bansal's talk stood out for its rare synthesis of scientific precision and deep natural intelligence. Unlike the high-tech, data-dense presentations typical of such events, his keynote was anchored in the Four Elements of Nature: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, a framework inspired by his Indian roots and brought to life through 20 scientifically validated biohacks. In a summit filled with global pioneers, Dr. Bansal was one of only three Asian voices on stage, alongside Vishen Lakhiani, founder of Mindvalley (Malaysia), and Takashu, a Zen monk from Japan. When asked how it felt to represent India on such a rare international platform, Dr. Bansal responded with characteristic humility: "Yes, I was the only speaker who flew in from India, and it was a proud feeling. But honestly, I didn't just represent a country, I represented Nature, Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, that's what I stood for. And in a place like Estonia, among people who truly understand longevity, planetary health, and the future of medicine, Nature speaks louder than nationality." While his framework might sound philosophical, Dr. Bansal was quick to reinforce its scientific backbone: "Every one of these 20 biohacks is measurable. HRV. VO₂ max. Autophagy. Glymphatic drainage. Neuroplasticity. CO₂ tolerance. These are not mystical ideas--they're biologically quantifiable." His keynote explored underwater meditation with SMACO tanks, the flow state's neurochemical signatures, the healing power of structured water, and even the science of the immortal jellyfish, all woven into a narrative that urges humanity to not just live longer, but live deeper. What made his talk resonate so powerfully was the way it rebalanced the conversation around health, from data-driven metrics to earth-rooted wisdom. He reminded the audience that the future of health isn't just high-tech, it's also high-truth--a return to the rhythms of the natural world. As the only Indian voice on a global stage of elite thinkers, Dr. Arpit Bansal is charting a path that bridges East and West, science and spirit, biology and biodiversity. His Four-Body Blueprint, based on Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, is fast becoming a new language for conscious, measurable, and nature-aligned human optimization. In his own words: "We need to stop surviving and start thriving--by syncing our biology with the elements that built us. That's the future of true longevity."

Dr. Bansal's keynote, titled '20 Powerful Strategies to Optimize Healthspan, Flow & Human Potential,' captivated audiences for its unique integration of science and natural wisdom. Unlike conventional, data-heavy presentations, his talk was anchored in the Four Elements of Nature—Earth, Water, Air, and Fire—a framework inspired by his Indian roots and presented through 20 scientifically validated biohacks. He was joined on stage by only two other Asian voices: Vishen Lakhiani, founder of Mindvalley (Malaysia), and Takashu, a Zen monk from Japan. 'It was a proud feeling to represent India,' Dr. Bansal said. 'But more than that, I represented Nature.' Backed by hard science—including metrics like HRV, VO₂ max, autophagy, and neuroplasticity—his keynote explored themes like underwater meditation, flow-state neurochemistry, and the healing science of structured water and the immortal jellyfish. Dr. Bansal's 'Four-Body Blueprint' is now being hailed as a revolutionary model that bridges science and spirituality, East and West.

Gwyneth Paltrow's ‘vagina candle' is still burning bright – at five times the original price
I have a foolproof way to make millions. It's a little tricky to execute, but hear me out, OK? Step one: find a time machine. Step two: travel back to 2020. Step three: quickly, before they all get nabbed, buy the entire stock of the This Smells Like My Vagina candle that Gwyneth Paltrow notoriously sold on Goop for $75 a pop. Then come back to 2025 and sell them on eBay for $400 each. Seriously, that's what they are going for now. We're talking a 433% return! How do I know this? Not, to be clear, because I am spending my evenings searching for vagina-scented candles. No, I know this because the chatter around Paltrow's candle is impossible to fully extinguish; it keeps popping back up in the news. In 2021, for example, there was a big hoo-hah because a Texas man claimed that the candle exploded on his bedside table. No one was injured but a lawsuit was filed for the Texas man and others who 'through no fault of their own, bought defective and dangerous vagina-scented candles'. That case was later dropped. The candles are now back in the headlines because Paltrow was speaking at an event called the Mindvalley Manifesting Summit over the weekend and revealed that her famous creation originally started off as a joke. The perfume team were apparently messing around with scents when she said, 'Oh, that smells like … you know.' And, well, you know what happens next. Paltrow also revealed that she thinks her candle was very 'punk rock' and challenged the shame around female sexuality. And if you don't agree, she thinks you should 'go fuck yourself'. Anyway, back to the details of my get-rich-quick plan. A time machine might seem preposterous but, according to the Mindvalley Manifesting Summit's website, manifesting means 'bending time and reality through intention, intuition and aligned action'. So manifest the damn thing and start getting that vagina candle money! Perhaps you're wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just manifest a bunch of cash instead? Yes, come to think of it, probably. Although, honestly, you shouldn't take financial advice from me. I started my working life as a corporate lawyer, then went into advertising, and now I am a freelance writer. Instead of climbing the career ladder chasing pay rises I slithered down it chasing pay cuts. Still, here I am living the dream and writing about vaginas for a living. It's very punk rock!

Limitless Immersion launches its first edition in Dubai this May
Dubai will host the first-ever Limitless Immersion, developed for ambitious entrepreneurs, executives, and high performers to experience a profound shift in mindset and personal growth. The three-day experiential event is designed to help individuals reassess their personal narratives, challenge limiting beliefs, and intentionally shape their future identities. The workshop will take place at the Conrad Hotel from May 23-25, in Dubai. Unlike conventional seminars or retreats, Limitless Immersion offers a structured, neuroscience-informed journey into personal transformation. It is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, parents, and high performers who seek greater alignment between their internal potential and their external reality. The workshop is led by best-selling author Ajit Nawalkha, a globally respected leadership coach, former CEO of Mindvalley, and co-founder of Mindvalley Coach (formerly Evercoach), acquired by Mindvalley in a multi-eight-figure deal. Over the past decade, Nawalkha has trained over 15,000 coaches globally and received more than 3,100 testimonials for his work in personal and business growth. "Limitless is designed for people who know there's more inside them but haven't yet found the tools or space to bring it forward," said Nawalkha. 'It's about learning how to stop operating on autopilot and start making conscious, empowered choices. Participants will learn to rewire mindsets, release limitations, and walk away with a blueprint to elevate their business, relationships, and well-being.' Structured across three days, the workshop guides participants through a powerful sequence of discovery including: Evidence-based tools for transformation. Techniques grounded in neuroscience and psychology create real change. Intimate group experience to ensure deep connection and personalised coaching. 'This is not an event where you come to be motivated for a weekend and return to old habits,' Nawalkha added. 'This is where you come to rewire the way you think, feel, and show up, for a long term.' As the inaugural edition, Limitless Immersion represents a bold new step in transformational experiences, offering practical, psychological, and strategic support for those ready to take control of their lives and lead from a place of intention.
