Understanding Manifestation
Manifestation is defined as the process of embedding intentions or goals within the subconscious mind to increase the likelihood of achieving them. From a neuroscience perspective, this involves understanding how various brain networks and the nervous system contribute to manifestation. Rather than approaching manifestation as merely a spiritual concept, it's important to recognize the neuroscientific foundations that support the process. Techniques for effective manifestation include a structured six-step program, which is elaborated in the author's recent book, highlighting both practical exercises and underlying scientific principles.
