Today’s guest is Paul Citarella, Executive Vice President, CTO of The Monroe Institute. This was a very unique conversation for us at Untangle. We discussed how we can explore different levels of human consciousness that range from meditation and expanded awareness to out of body experiences, remote viewing and mediumship. He shared how Monroe Institute’s technology and unique sounds and sound patterns help facilitate deeper mind states and levels of consciousness. Paul shared his personal journey of transformation, and how he came to a deeper understanding of his own life and its purpose for him and his family. The Monroe Institute has different types of programs at all different levels, but it is also an active research hub, where scientists, doctors, and academics work across disciplines to explore the intricacies of human consciousness. We discuss neural entrainment (which he’ll define) and how their sound technology can be used to enhance well-being in a range of ways— reducing stress and anxiety and improving sleep all the way to precipitating a life-changing personal awakening, as Paul experienced himself. It’s pretty interesting stuff. Much of what we discussed feels esoteric, but Paul is so grounded, authentic and intelligent, it all felt very attainable. As always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app. Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudioTransform your brain's potential with 15% off Muse.

Today we're sharing a sample episode of the podcast we discussed in our episode yesterday, “What It’s Like to Be...” from author Dan Heath. In every episode, Dan interviews someone from a different profession: A cattle rancher, a FBI special agent, a professional Santa Claus. He asks what it’s like to do what they do. What does a couples therapist think when a friend asks for relationship advice? Is a Secret Service Agent supposed to pretend like they’re not there when they’re around the president? What does a hair stylist do when a client asks for a celebrity hairstyle that will never work for them? It is truly the perfect show for curiosity-driven Untangle listeners. If you’ve ever met someone whose work you wondered about, and you had 100 nosy questions but were too polite to ask... this is the show for you.Find “What It’s Like to Be...” wherever you get podcasts.As always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app. Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudioTransform your brain's potential with 15% off Muse.

Today's guest is Dan Heath, a NYT Bestselling Author of several great books and host of the podcast, What It's Like To Be. He interviews unlikely people, like stadium beer vendors, dog trainers, hairstylists, secret service agents, couples therapists and lots of folks that you might not normally hear on a podcast. His anecdotes about many of these interviews were both poignant and hilarious. Mostly, I love that he's giving us a perspective on different jobs or careers that we might not otherwise ever hear about and sharing the little secrets about how his unlikely guests find deep meaning in their work. Also, it was so clear that we're all different and what might appeal to one of us may not appeal to someone else. For example, we may judge the person who sells beer in a stadium, but they may judge us for sitting in an office all day.So the goal is to each find what lights us up and respect that in each other, whether it be styling hair, or managing money. Different people find purpose in different things, and we find relationships in different places. Dan has learned to have a deep respect for the different choices and different paths we each take. It's really another way to look at empathy even how we think about curiosity versus judgment. It's a super fun interview with lots of great stories. Resource: Danheath.comAs always, we are Untangle, the podcast from Muse the Brain Sensing Headband, dedicated to unlocking your Brain's potential and Meditation Studio, the five star app. Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudioTransform your brain's potential with 15% off Muse.
