The electrical field as measured in an electrocardiogram (ECG) is about sixty times greater in amplitude than the brain waves recorded in an electroencephalogram (EEG). The magnetic component of the heart’s field, which is around five thousand times stronger than that produced by the brain, is not impeded by tissues and can be measured from several

The true gift of visualizing our intentions again and again is to go through life with a buoyant sense that things will work out for us, which liberates us to be both responsive and resilient no matter what our external circumstances bring.

Manifesting is not a cure or a fix for all suffering. Like all human activity, it can be limited by countless factors beyond our control and reality has the final say, regardless of our intention.

Manifesting primarily makes use of four of these large circuits: the default mode network (DMN), the central executive network (CEN), the salience network (SN), and the attention network (AN).
