Short YouTube video (Feb 2025) in which neuroscientist Emily McDonald reframes manifestation as a process of changing "mental reality" rather than altering external physical reality. She argues manifestation works by rewiring the brain and emphasizes that manifestation is an internal gain; she promises to share specific brain-wiring techniques in future videos and captions.
Most people struggle to manifest what they want because they don't know the neuroscience of manifestation. When I connected the dots between everything I was learning as a neuroscientist and manifestation, that is when everything changed for me. Understanding the neuroscience of manifestation means that you understand that you are not manifesting anything in the physical world. You are not trying to create or change a physical reality, because reality doesn't exist in the physical world, it exists in your mind. So when you're manifesting, what you're doing is you are trying to change your mental reality, AKA rewiring your brain. So in order to manifest the things that you want, you must first wire your brain for them. There are so many ways to wire your brain for what you want, and I'll make more videos on it, so follow along for more. I'll also drop some in the caption right now, but please understand that manifestation is an internal gain.
