320. Meditation Meets Tech: A Journey Inside Muse with Ariel Garten

Episode #320

In this episode of The Daily Helping, we're honored to welcome Ariel Garten, co-founder of Muse, a leading player in the field of consumer neurotechnology and meditation. With her remarkable background blending neuroscience, psychotherapy, and art, Ariel has found a unique way to bridge the gap between technology and mindfulness.

As well as providing an innovative aid to meditation, Ariel delves into the nuanced difference between a meditative state and a flow state. She describes meditation as observing one's mind and body to learn about our physiology and thoughts and then shifting them. A flow state, on the other hand, is marked by high creativity, engagement, and a sense of passionate oneness with the task at hand.

The work of Muse doesn't stop at meditation and sleep. They're currently working on a project for women experiencing menopause and have conducted various studies with Mayo Clinic, demonstrating positive impacts across numerous applications. The company is also expanding to address specific user issues like pain and sleep difficulties.

Ariel's vision for her work's legacy is a world where individuals have the power to escape the "prisons of their own minds." She encourages listeners to harness the power of meditation and change the conversation in their heads, leading to reduced stress levels and improved quality of life.

 

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“You are a capable, powerful human being, and nothing that your mind is telling you should take you away from that. By engaging a simple practice like meditation, you can learn to shift your relationship with your thoughts and be the person that you really are and feel the person that you really are and accomplish all that you actually can.”
