Since I found out about Dr.Tara Bieber I am saving every podcast and video she is on to my playlist...I love how she is presenting these topics about manifestation and neuroplasticity❤

[@sharonplover8263]

Tara’s take on things is definitely insightful. It’s my experience with myself and those I work with that the unconscious underlying beliefs one has play a very big part in whether something manifests or doesn’t. Affirmations only work when I fully believe they will. Letting go of an attachment to the outcome also helps otherwise there’s an unconscious attention to the fact I don’t have it yet. Balance is key.

[@kaiven2429]

I'm 84 and I can tell you neuroplasticity STILL works.....forget up to 65 only....I began when I was TEN but the word hadn't been invented yet....I'm "ahead of my time" though, open and interested in psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual growth and development. I now have an integrated or balanced brain, thanks to neuroplasticity....but I don't know how to publish my book....go figure

[@simoneoly]

Jason asked the most amazing questions!! Dr. Tara is incredible!

[@Lunggirl]

This was the best interview because Jason really listened more than most that I've heard interview Dr Swart! So thanks!

[@ginetcrespo9943]

Beautifully explained although we are not just interacting with the universe we are it 🙏🏾

[@DGsa1661]

Really enjoyed this video. I love that Dr. Tara calls them ACTION Boards and not dream boards. I’m guilty if dreaming away my life and not doing anything to change my circumstances. I now feel much more focused on achieving/learning as well as dreaming 😊

[@DynastyUK]

Practicality is the killer of dreams if you are an entrepreneur. BUT if you're in a job where the max you could ever make is 60k a year, then maybe that practicality is needed. I don't know, I feel because I can do ANYTHING, I can make ANYTHING happen so dreaming BIIIIGGG is best. Some people don't know how far they can throw. If you aim for a 800meters, you will go further than if you aim for 10 meters.

[@janetewin4819]

A close friend of mine, 10 years ago she was practicing visualization, doing collage of having a husband and a perfect family with 2 kids, boy and girl, she did that enough and when the Universe presented her with a guy, she grasp that opportunity so quickly, long e story short, she has two beautiful intelligent kids, but the marriage was a disaster, she was ready for the kids but he was not, after many years trying to make working a relationship that was not working she fall twice into depression and both she had psychotic reactions when she came out of reality, very dangerous…now she is a single mother struggling to raise two kids by themself! So, my point is improve yourself, learn and love yourself and learn to be well by yourself and everything will come naturally!❤

[@HayleyTrower]

Really fascinating video and interview - thank you.

[@ShonWilsonOfficial]

THIS is a good interviewer. Really love how you two presented this topic. Thank you!

Thank you again Jason and Tara for sharing with us priceless information 🙏🙏🙌🍀🌈

So much insight, looking forward to applying these lessons.

[@carolinekelly8481]

Very informative ❤

[@alainbelisle4543]

Great interview, very good questions and very good answers from Tara, she is interesting 👍

[@PersonalBrandClarity]

Interesting perspective by Tara - But I don’t believe that manifestations come and go…I believe, energetically that we are ALWAYS manifesting or co-creating our experiences - good, bad, or indifferent. What gets you manifesting things on the positive side over and over again over a short period of time is because you are operating on a higher vibration and allowing the ‘receiving’ of the positive manifestions (until you fall out of that higher vibration)…same thing with negative manifestions. As humans we have become so impacted by our external environments, we are no longer consciously driven by our own internal values. A ‘manifestation’ is not inherently ‘good’, or ‘bad’ - it is a representation of the recent vibration you, yourself have been resonating. ;0)😊

[@charlieday9412]

Great Podcast

[@Author_Alyssa_Taylor]

This is the exact same information as all the other LOA discussions. And, just for others to know, it DEPENDS on what you're trying to manifest. I HAVE manifested without taking action. It depends on whether you want a different body and what length of focus you have. When your subconscious gets the message and grabs hold you just GO or DO what you need to do, often without even trying. You don't sit like a lump forever!!!

[@ItsSoarTime]

excellent.... regarding routines...long story short...i write down a question i want my subconscious mind to answer and read it out loud before i get into bed...i express gratitude for the answer...been getting UNBELIEVABLE, ALMOST IMMEDIATE RESULTS!!!!! of course, when i lay down i start my mind movie--visualization OR i state things i'm grateful for (that earlier i wrote down ...) the end. HAPPY NEW YOU TO ME, YOU, US!!!!

[@drnalem]

Thank you for such a good podcast

[@laurenpage3301]

Great video

[@matthewplatt1954]

She is repeating what my parents told me 45 yrs ago just using big words. Manifesting, visualization, behavior patterns. In other words you pick a goal and work on getting it and if it isn't happening readjust and change your path.

[@MA-yp7es]

Great info

[@zizisze]

I like Dr Tara British l accent too😅

[@suelala5812]

Love

[@lalaflorez7066]

I love the questions in the interview. Dra Tara was short in some questions. Maybe are not her areas of knowledge, which is ok.

[@HeartEvolutions]

The way to practice new neural connections is outlined in the book, Positive Intelligence. Interrupting the disempowering thoughts, practicing presence and then using curiosity, empathy, innovation, navigation or activate. It’s a complete 3-legged approach to building a new empowering Operating System.

[@KotobukiGirl]

Help please. I've mentioned this elsewhere but can't seem to get any take on it. I've noticed that so many things I write gratitude for either disappear or don't happen. I got a new job. I wrote that I was so grateful that I'd be getting paid on a certain date. Then I didn't get paid because someone in the office didn't get my paperwork done on time. It was almost three weeks later that I got my first paycheck but it was on paper so it took me another couple of weeks to get it deposited and transferred to my preferred account in a different state. I had gratitude for a 'relationship' I had with a neighbor. Then it just dissolved into nothingness and I don't know why and can't find out why. This even happened with my health. Terrible story. So now I only feel like I can express gratitude for things that can't be taken away from me, like the lunch I've already digested, or the temperature in my room. I'm starting to actually be afraid to write what I'm grateful for in my journal.

[@misterf2407]

Great interview…. Not so many comments… probably reflective of those who are at the vanguard of developing human knowledge in how to operate our ‘human’

[@robertvermeer5951]

All very interesting but I'm wondering something.. how can someone process independent thoughts when the brain is the very vehicle that creates the thoughts to begin with?

[@TonyMoze]

Without looking at this man, I can hear DEREK from KZbin’s MORE PLATES, MORE DATES 🍽️

[@kerrymain2235]

Question I would of liked to be asked: When we create a new pathway, Tara says we overwrite an existing pathway (as an adult). Is this always the case? Can the old pathway re-emerge or is it like a computer when we wipe the hard drive at security level. Cannot be retrieved ever., ???

[@bkilpatrick5828]

Lovely conversation, but so so so many ads!

[@SyndicShadow]

So we should only focus on things we think we can already accomplish?

[@rose.mary.m.m]

Filtragem seletiva, atenção seletiva. Somos bombardeados de informações a todo momento, ter um quadro de visualização ajuda a educar seu cérebro sobre o que é importante pra você. Seu cérebro será capaz de perceber oportunidades que te levarão mais perto do que você deseja.

If I have to pick a home I can afford in this market ill be dreaming of a doublewide..haha😂

What’s the link to her song please ♥️

[@Teacher8820]

Can someone please help me with the Video spoken about at"44:00 minutes . This is the best time to use the intermittent Fasting Date was said to be on the 5th of December 2022. TIA

[@jazmeen8886]

What would we say about the fires in Maui, Hawaii? Thoughts? Random? Why did some escape the fires, and others died? Mind over matter? Some things do not make sense, even though I study, live and breath it.

[@susanaacostazimmermann9384]

Sanguine

[@callumlee9800]

She said dont visualise too big and keep it practical. But in the next breath she said her friend visualised a house in the hamptons and achieved it decades later? Contradicting herself

[@redmondt1841]

She said visualize what you find achievable or practical. Her friend found it was a practical goal and that's why she went towards it per her situation liker her job/income.

[@lollypoppy56]

Well actually, she discussed how a lot of people fail their resolutions as they are too big and how it’s better to implement goals which are “bite sized”. Her friend visualised it “decades later” not within a short period of time. It’s ok to dream big just as long as you’ve got a clear idea of all the steps on the way

[@firebird3639]

This is a version that Tara can bring herself to believe. She isnt actualized enough to quantify it so she is denying the divine within which defies logic and cannot be explained away as a brain function.

[@joyabia682]

That's what I think too. It's not really the brain doing all these things but she understands it to be the brain because she can see the cha ges in the brain but what actually makes us creative enough to change our brains,? She is doing a great job though cos as long as the laws and methods are applied one gets the same results

[@rlmk836]

Agreed, it is not entirely a brain thing, and her background explains it, but to appeal to the current viewers😢

[@luannrios4151]

I saw another podcast made 6 mos ago where she said she is 35...so in 2008 she was 20! Her history doesnt add up! 😊

[@gymns411]

Which video? Provide links/references…otherwise, Maybe your memory is not adding up.

[@sherrylshesellsart546]

Funny the image of the elephant lacks abundance a in Asia a elephant with its trunk up is abundance. His visual is a somewhat working elephant as a visual inference.

[@tijmen7953]

ah, finally the elephant in the room is mentioned

[@rlmk836]

How this differs to Helen Henzel prize lady, she went big

[@dekipower]

People want to hear about how they can change their lives with their brains as soon as possible, rather than a video that's almost an hour long. So keep this deep in your subconscious in the future...

[@gymns411]

If you can’t listen to an hour video to understand how to change your life then your brain is useless.

[@anireseegam6128]

I live alone. No partner or kids, few friends. I get a hug maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I should just give up

[@ceciliamurphy350]

We are all part of the same whole. Love yourself and life will love you back. Treat yourself as if you were a loving light (life) force because you are that love. Take yourself on a date. Lol Hugs❤We take ourselves to seriously at times. Remember to laugh it will raise your vibration. Namaste

[@SparklingDiva1111]

This is the first time I feel Tara is missing the mark with her explanation. Take the 50 mill dollar house that's addressed. You can very well put that up and whether that is going to work has nothing whatsoever to do with your current income. That's the OLD way of thinking, what Dr Joe calls the Newtonian way, not the Quantum way of thinking in which anything is possible. People can heal stage 4 cancer, blindness, etc. etc. so manifesting a 50 mill dollar house isn't such a big deal. It's like Abraham Hicks and Dr Joe and all others teach: you do not have to know NOR worry HOW it's going to come about. What Tara is saying here is that the 'how' IS a factor. She's totally missing the mark, like the woman that wrote "The Secret" missed it too. Logical as she nicked the info from someone else.

[@timkovatch8251]

Shoulderless sweater is hot! 😊

[@LindaCerekwicki]

What I hear you saying is logic . I don't think it's necessary to manifest a partner or slam dunk an interview. How can you explain the percentage of people that have won the lottery, for example, claiming it was manifested. Prayed over? Pure luck, but they would disagree.

[@spross7]

I’m obsessed with her. I’d love her take on rTMS and the effect on the Pituitary Gland … let’s see if I can manifest that 🫶🏽

[@curiositiesdygest]

He lost me when he talked about competition is needed to manifest…can’t buy it…

[@Nkwanyuo2]

I really wanted to like this however she pushes a lot of limiting thoughts that will only lead to mediocrity.

[@maxdexter2690]

So we use the English Education then work in the NHS in the UK then MIT in the US. Only to become a mouth peice for the LOA. Ok each to their own but really very little substance here I feel. I feel thst she is jumping on two bandwagons here perhaps 3, shes British so all Americans think she is so knowledgeable! Shes Indian so Americans love those guys as their are so many Indians in the US now its ridiculous. Then this shiny horse the law of attraction. Shes smart.
