#1 Neuroscientist: "Do This Every Morning To Manifest Your Dream Future!" | Dr. James Doty

The concept of manifestation is often discussed, yet many need a clearer understanding of its essence and how to integrate it into their lives. Our guest today is poised to explore manifestation in depth, uncovering its neuroscience foundations and practical application.
Today, on the Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. James Doty about the power and neuroscience behind manifestation. Dr. Doty shares his insights on how we are all actively manifesting our lives and provides practical exercises that can help us clarify our manifestation goals. These exercises are not just theoretical concepts but actionable steps we can start implementing today.
Dr. James R. Doty, MD, has been on the Stanford University School of Medicine faculty since 1997 in the Neurosurgery Department as a professor and more recently as an adjunct professor. He is also the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford and a New York Times bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discovery the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart.
In this episode, Dhru and Dr. James Doty dive into:
-What is possible when you take agency and don’t look for external validation
-You are actively manifesting your current life
-What is manifestation from a neuroscience perspective
-The mistakes people make when manifesting
-Dr. Doty’s powerful childhood experience
-The power of identity and what happens when losing the identity
-Exercises to clarify and define your manifestations
-How do reclaim focus and keep the noise out
-The importance of action
-How Dr. Doty approaches manifestation
-What if you don’t know what to manifest
-How to identify limiting beliefs and critical beliefs
-Releasing expectations
-What happened to Ruth and final thoughts

"All Return To save the cosmos and hold back destruction’s tide The Creator made the earth, to which divine ones came Most of the world’s people hail from the heavens And await the Way, to save our heavenly kin Yet it’s easier to come to earth than go to Heaven We often fall for the allure of worldly things Now the Creator has finally come!

"Attachment to an outcome often creates anxiety" - Dr. James Doty. Brilliant, yet, so simple and obvious once you think about it.. Thank you!

[@lmansur1000]

He seems to incorporate Buddhist philosophy and teachings in his approach! That is core, in my opinion! Keeps us honest and also happier!

[@shureenaimar6159]

So I also grew up with a mom who was always attempting suicide. So I also grew up with a lot of fear and anxiety. What I didn’t realize is it is still in my body and I’m now 54!!! Constantly trying to deal with this anxiety in my body. This is so amazing to discover!!! Thank you for this wonderful episode! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the information and the healing ❤

[@acapulcoscebu449]

I am the same but I didn't realize that it's still inside me. How do you get it out. Breathing exercises ?

[@arlierichards9438]

I don't know how many people are aware of scriptures, but Jesus speaks of a parable of the talents which was a term for the money of the day. I would encourage those who read their bibles to study this parable in the light of Dr. Doty's teachings. Many Christians are against having wealth of any kind because they are afraid of it and how it might corrupt them. It's a lesson we all need to go through for ourselves.

[@DeeDeeDee57]

Thanks Dhru!! Okay I have to say I rather have a LOT of money and be unhappy then being poor stressed out about money and depressed.

Dr. Doty's insights into the neuroscience of manifestation highlight the profound power of intention and self-awareness in shaping our reality. It's refreshing to see a focus on service and compassion as the true essence of success and fulfillment. 🌟

Congratulations to you both for bringing to light the selfishness in the practice of manifestation for material personal gain. This common manifestation practice as promoted in new age circles is void of spirituality and selfish. So nice to hear someone finally speak of this.❤

Incredible interview. i havent completed it all is wow

[@tumbleweeduk7479]

I live in Westminster in central London and the area is full of large Victorian housing Estates built by Victorian entrepreneurs, and there are several other collections of houses owned by similar housing trusts.In the absence of the government doing their job, these estates provide wonderful homes at very affordable prices. Or in many cases for no rent at all. I wish entrepreneurs would use their money for this purpose nowadays, rather than money laundering it through charities and offshore this and that. They also built beautiful stately homes and country houses which we still get to enjoy nowadays. They enjoyed housing people and taking care of them rather than the depopulation endeavours that a certain modern entrepreneur chooses.

[@TheOrignalTRockz]

30:50 THIS! He realized it would not get him out of debt - back to rich people. But giving it to the really poor people, made a difference and let him realize it wouldn’t kill him. But it might’ve killed so many poor people if he hadn’t stick to his decision. 80 or 50 million of debt or making a difference. He made a positive impact.

Can someone summarize the principles that he leaned from Ruth? My brain is struggling to extract them with all the additional discussion.

[@TZiehr]

Excellent interview. I absolutely resonate with the words. Although I must say I know the Universe cares deeply about us. To say it does not give a f**k is questionable. All I need to do is look at nature. The perfection/imperfection demonstrates the pure love poured in by a loving Universe that gives a f**k. Just saying:)

[@anonymousx5834]

You a rich popular well known. As for me I did everything you talk about. I gave gave gave took nothing not evan wanted a compliment. 4 weeks ago I at 64 years old no family no friends live in a single room had my whole live savings off 86.000 pounds hacked. Suddenly people disappear there is no such thing as kindness all it is kindness given for something in return. Thousands of millionaires thousands of billionaires who could give me 86.000 pounds I lost and not evan notice it. But no I'm a person to them who cant give them anything in return only depression all my confidences sense of humour was taken with my money leaving me in a single room like a prison cell for life for commiting the crime of not understanding the game that we live in a dog eat dog world. Were people are inherently evil all you see is fake love things that pass as kindness

[@wellnesspathforme6236]

It is the inability to cleave (connect) with other people that leaves a gaping hole in the soul that tries to fill it with material good ‘noise.’ Read Daniel 2:43-44 to learn a major driver of this nervous system dysfunction effect. Rusty iron filings were added to the foo(le)d supply in 1941, it was increased 50% more recently, and the mega-corps out in an extra 30% just because it is so ‘valuable.’ Chumps gonna get chumped. I bet zero people benefit from this post - too NPC at this point. Food OCD is a form of materialism. Morley Robbins will explain the scientific cause and effect relationships tying toxic iron to NLRP3 inflammazone activation - the Fe-ar sensor of the cell. It hyper-sensitizes one’s ire. Iron Man is the only superhero narcissist. Are ‘fit’ enough to get it?

If manifesting is unconditional, the small businesses owner scenario makes no sense. People manifest with bad internet all the time

What you want manifest is question. Wealth or joyful, peaceful life, good health, love. Or all of them? Wealth you dont need compassion. Just being hard work, determined achive. The others one you need cultivate compassion for yourself. When u have it, it spread around you. This title is misleading. Do what in order manifest what?

I mean isn't that the purest and most practical example of manifestation ? Having a desire and going out to get it.
