Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Meditation Studio, the five-star app, and Muse, the brain-sensing

headband that helps you meditate. I'm Patricia Carpice. The Muse headband and app can help you

start a meditation practice or deepen your practice. And the Muse S was specifically designed to give you

lots of meditations, visualizations, and features to help you sleep better. All great stuff. Check it out

at choosemuse.com. Today we have an episode with my co-host, Ariel Garten.

Welcome to another untangle.

This week, we continue our exploration into topics like manifestation, spontaneous healing, and energy practices.

My guest is Dr. Shamini Jane, a scientist with the University of San Diego, where she's

an assistant professor of psychology

and a researcher. We're going to explore a topic that she's studied in depth, how phenomenon

like spontaneous healing might happen. Now, I have to admit, walking into topics like manifestation

and energy work and spontaneous healing, I'm a bit skeptical and trepidatious.

I've personally experienced the sensations that come along with an energy bodywork session,

but I'm not convinced that there's something quote unquote real that's happening.

But I'm very curious to explore theories of what might be going on.

And the theory that this scientist proposes is pretty stunning, and the data she will share seemingly support it.

And her thoughts around it are really, really, really fascinating.

You can consider for yourself when she presents her work to you.

Welcome, Dr. Jane.

Shamedi, I am so excited to have you here today and learn more about your absolutely astonishing work.

Thank you, Ariel.

It's such a pleasure to be with you.
