Welcome to the Book Club, where I share books that have been unputdownable :) - those that empower both the heart and the mind of creative entrepreneurs. This week, I’m sharing The Source by Dr. Tara Swart - a fascinating blend of neuroscience and the art of manifestation. I’m addicted to reading as much as possible about neuroscience - a fascinating subject.
If you’ve ever felt torn between intuition and science, this book brings them beautifully together.
What’s The Source About?
Dr. Swart, a neuroscientist and former psychiatrist, explains how manifestation is not wishful thinking and consumer based needs, but rooted in how the brain works. By using visualisation, intention setting and belief rewiring, we can train our brains to attract and align with what we truly want.
It’s about becoming a conscious creator of your reality - both in life and in business.
5 Key Takeaways for Calm Entrepreneurs:
The Brain Body Connection Matters
Your ability to manifest and focus depends heavily on how well you care for your brain - sleep, hydration, nutrition and mindfulness are non negotiables.The Power of Visualisation
Her version of a vision board - she calls it an action board - is backed by science. When you visualise outcomes repeatedly, your brain starts filtering in opportunities aligned with that vision.Overcoming Self Sabotage
We all have unconscious beliefs holding us back. The Source gives practical tools to uncover and rewire them.
5. Set Aligned Intentions
Your intentions should be clear, heart centred and specific. This is the foundation of a sustainable, calm business.
