Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain-sensing headband that helps you meditate and sleep and meditation studio, the five-star app.

I'm Patricia Carpice.

I think we can still say happy New Year since we're in the beginning of January, so we're wishing you a year filled with health, happiness, and lots of good nights of sleep.

And if you're like the rest of us who struggle with getting a good night's sleep, you'll want to check out the new digital sleeping pill for Muse.

It's an intuitive sleep guide, part of the next generation of Muse S, that responds to your brain activity to help quiet your busy mind and guide you into a more restful sleep.

The experience is designed to lull you to sleep and help you fall back to sleep if you wake up in the middle of the night.

Today's guest is writer, singer, songwriter, and teacher Marisa Handler.

Marisa is the author of the memoir, loyal to the sky, and is a long-time spiritual practitioner

and teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition.

She's also a facilitator of the work of Byron Katie.

Marisa teaches on creativity, meditation, and transformation at places

like Stanford University, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and California Institute of Integral Studies.

Today we talk about her year-long program called Live Your Creative Genius, Birth Your Most Creative Work.

I was intrigued by her work because the way she integrates creativity, art, meditation,

and spirituality.

She shares how we can let go of old ways of creating, identify resistance and the blocks

that get in our way, open up a clear channel for our creative energy and vision, all while

finding and expressing our true creative voice. I especially like her ideas about confidence,

trusting yourself as a creative, and knowing that what you have to say matters. Her program starts

later this month, and you can find out more about it at
