Marisa’s guest today is Emily Fletcher, who teaches meditation to help you get better at life, not to get better at meditation.

Emily is the founder of Ziva Meditation and the Ziva Technique which teaches a powerful combination of mindfulness, meditation and manifesting. Emily’s work has featured in the New York Times, The Today Show, Vogue and ABC News. She’s been named one of the top 100 women in wellness to watch, and has taught more than 50,000 students around the world. 

Emily expertly explains what happens to the mind during meditation, and how this impacts our day-to-day functioning. Her knowledge and research into the neuroscience of meditation is unrivalled, and lifts the lid on many misconceptions around the practice. Emily endorses that meditation is the single most important piece of mental hygiene we can do every day, as a way to clean the mind, and close the many ‘open tabs’ we have running that slow down our cognitive function.

Marisa and Emily’s conversation covers:

• The mind-body connection; why we need to change our neurochemistry if we want to change our biochemistry
• How to overcome stress, and why it’s making us stupid, sick and slow
• The “I’ll be happy when” syndrome and why her dream career as a dancer on Broadway didn’t deliver the happiness she expected it to
