I'm joined by a neuroscientist, former fashion designer, and the Muse creator, Ariel Garten in this week's episode of the Less Stressed Life Podcast to help us understand what goes on in our own mind through meditation.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• [07:21] Benefits of meditation
• [09:47] Neuroscience of meditation
• [14:12] Forms of meditation
• [18:15] Difference between meditation and mindfulness

Mentioned in this episode: 

• Best time to meditate
• Components of pain
• Muse Headband

Ariel Garten is a Neuroscientist, psychotherapist,  mom, former fashion designer, and the female founder and visionary of an amazing and highly successful tech start-up Muse.

Muse tracks your brain during meditation to give you real-time feedback on your meditation, guiding you into the "zone" and solving the problem most of us have when starting a meditation practice- letting you know when you are doing it right. 

When she is not reading brains (literally) or investing in, inspiring and advising other start-ups and women in biz, you can find her on stages across the world, from TED to MIT to SXSW, inspiring people to understand that they can accomplish anything they want by learning what goes on in their own mind
