⚡️Feeling frustrated? Racing mind? Try this.💬 “ If the whole world actually meditated, the world that we live in would be a kinder, better place.” ~Ariel Garten➡︎ Meditation is a practise we all know we should be doing, but aren’t. Often it’s not for lack of trying - meditation can be hard, and in a world where we’re taught to be busy at all times, it can feel like a waste of time. But meditation is the key to unburdening yourself from stress, anxiety, trauma and self-doubt. Luckily, there’s a way to make it easier.➡︎ Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist and co-founder of Muse, a healthtech startup that has created a brain-sensing EEG headband that is helping over half a million people around the world improve their meditation practises. By measuring your brainwaves while you meditate, Muse gives you real-time biofeedback on brain activity, heart rate, and body movements. Ariel and Muse have been featured in the likes of Forbes, Fortune, Men’s Health, Wired and more.➡︎ In this episode, Ariel and Tim discuss what exactly is going on inside the brain while we meditate - and the science behind why it’s so effective at improving sleep and reducing stress. Ariel explores powerful moments where her meditation practice had a real impact on her life, helping her to unplug from addictions and stop sweating the small stuff. And she explores various meditation techniques and practices - and how you can incorporate them into your life.💡 Highlights(1:20) How Ariel’s passion for meditation began(9:59) What’s going on inside the brain during meditation?(11:59) Decreasing stress and cortisol(18:59) How meditation improves attention and focus(22:54) Your brain waves on meditation(29:32) Unplugging from addiction(38:21) Why you should measure your brain waves(42:28) The impact of diet on your brain(45:37) Can meditation help us deal with trauma?(49:17) The different types of meditation(53:17) How meditation influences pain(55:06) You don’t need an “empty” mind(51:15) How Muse is used by pro athletes(57:41) Advancements in AI and neurotechnology🔎 Visit: https://www.instagram.com/ariels_musings/https://choosemuse.com/ A huge thank you to MUSE for sponsoring this episode!Getting results from meditation can be slow - Your meditation app might tell you to focus, but it has no idea what's actually happening in your brain or with your neurotransmitters.Muse neurofeedback shortcuts this. By using advanced EEG sensors to track your brain activity, heart rate and movement in real-time, it’s actually tracking how your body and mind are responding to meditation. When your mind is calm, you hear soothing nature sounds. When it wanders, the sounds shift - it basically sees what's going on inside your brain in real time. For me, this has helped me create a calm, focused mediation practice in days rather than months.
