Emily Fletcher: Transforming Your Mind AND Body Through Meditation
07/22/21 • 66 min
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

John Assaraf: Using Neuroscience To Change Your Reality
John Assaraf is a mindset and behavior expert, passionate about helping people bridge the gap between ‘wishing and dreaming’ and actually doing and accomplishing. John has written two New York Times bestselling books, built five multi-million dollar companies, and even featured in movies including “The Secret” and “Quest For Success” with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama. John’s company, NeuroGym helps individuals to unleash their full potential through evidence-based brain training methods and technologies.
In this episode Marisa and John unpack how we can make profound changes in our behavior to transform our reality. It’s not hard work, rather it’s knowing how to direct your consistent work in order to build new neural pathways.
Their discussion covers:
- The benefits of ‘Innercise’, and how to do it.
- The neuroscience behind successful goal setting.
- How making changes in our lives can be easier and faster than we think, once we learn how to reframe something and assume a new identity. After all, it’s not what you do; it’s who you are.
- John’s health scare at 23 years of age that became the catalyst for his interest in neuroscience and neuropsychology.
- The power of forgiveness and interrupting inherited patterns from our parents, exploring John’s personal experience of this with his father.
