Welcome back to the Absolute Mind podcast with me, Paula Sweet, where I delve deep into the enigma of the Law of Attraction. Considered a universal force, much like the laws of physics, it suggests that our desires and focus can take shape in our lives.

As a seasoned therapist and creator of the Your Absolute Mind app, I explore the fascinating crossroads of science and spirituality surrounding this concept.

Referencing insights from neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart, I highlight the crucial role our mindset plays in moulding our realities. From the intriguing concept of emotional contagion to the workings of the reticular activating system, learn about the influence of our internal narratives on our daily experiences.

Don't miss my demonstration on how the RAS operates and its connection to the Law of Attraction.
