    I am full of oxytocin. And no hugs!! For 3 years. I dance and feel good in my body and ❤ life no matter what ❤
  • @dncareflex
    really like her voice and the way she speak, so clear and sharp, and elegant !

    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
  • 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.
  • @Lunggirl
    This was the best interview because Jason really listened more than most that I've heard interview Dr Swart! So thanks!
  • @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 😊
  • @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!❤
  • @ginetcrespo9943
    Beautifully explained although we are not just interacting with the universe we are it 🙏🏾
  • @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.
  • @simoneoly
    Jason asked the most amazing questions!! Dr. Tara is incredible!
  • @halethai9156
    I love this interview so much. Thank you, Jason and Tara, for their conversations🙏. The contents they talked about were very much in-depth. Both Jason and Tara talked so clearly and they sounded beautiful 👍👍👏👏. Tara is beautiful and she looks like Emma Watson 😍❤. Thank you again Jason and Tara for sharing with us priceless information 🙏🙏🙌🍀🌈
  • 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!!!
  • @HayleyTrower
    Really fascinating video and interview - thank you.
  • 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)😊
  • @alainbelisle4543
    Great interview, very good questions and very good answers from Tara, she is interesting 👍
  • @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.
