Brian Scott is the host of The Reality Revolution, one of the most popular podcasts and YouTube channels on reality creation, and the founder of the Advanced Success Institute. He is the creator of the AURA technique and the author of The Reality Revolution, and he brings together ideas from Neville Goddard, Reality Transurfing, meditation and NLP. [1] [2]
Who is Brian Scott?
Brian Scott says he has studied consciousness expansion for more than 20 years. Along the way he became a certified hypnotist and NLP instructor, and he studied physics, cybernetics and neuroscience while completing a master’s degree in communication. [3]
His interest in the nature of reality began after a traumatic home invasion, which left him questioning how reality works and led him to explore techniques such as quantum jumping and reality shifting. [4]
He describes himself as an author, motivational speaker, life coach and transformation coach, and he hosts The Reality Revolution podcast, where he discusses consciousness and metaphysics in what he calls an ongoing course in reality creation. [1] [3] He founded the Advanced Success Institute to bring together experts in meditation, hypnosis, qi gong, Reality Transurfing, NLP, the Silva Method and energy psychology, among other fields. [1]
His book, The Reality Revolution: The Mind-Blowing Movement to Hack Your Reality, was published by Lioncrest in 2020. [5]
His approach in brief
- Activate a new reality. In meditation, find and feel the version of reality you want to experience.
- Actualise it. Bring it into daily life through focus, energy and action.
- Reprogram beliefs. Use affirmations, hypnosis and sleep meditations to shift what you believe.
- Keep learning. Draw on many systems and keep what works for you.

Brian Scott’s teachings
Scott weaves together many systems. These are the themes he is best known for. Tap a card to read more.
The AURA technique
AURA stands for Alternate Universe Reality Activation and Actualization. Scott describes it as a two-step process. First you activate, or find, the reality you want to experience. Then you actualise it, bringing it into three-dimensional life, which he calls the all-important second step. [3]
His AURA programme includes a 90-day meditation course with more than 130 meditations designed to help you discover, activate and actualise the reality you want. [3] Our visualisation guide covers simple ways to practise the first step.
The 77 steps to success
Alongside AURA, Scott created a framework he calls the 77 steps to success. [1] He has discussed it in interviews as a practical, step-by-step complement to his reality creation work. [4]
If you want a practical starting point, our guides to motivation and procrastination cover the everyday side of following through.
Affirmations: the Belief Codes and Miracle Codes
Many of Scott’s most popular videos are long affirmation sessions, such as “The Belief Codes”, designed to shift your beliefs, and “The Miracle Codes”. [2] He also has sessions on money, such as “Activate Your Money Magnet”.
They are designed for repeated listening, often while relaxing or falling asleep. For more on this approach, see our law of attraction guide.
Stories of great teachers
Scott regularly tells the stories of teachers who have shaped the reality creation movement. His video “The Man Who Awakened As God” tells the story of Neville Goddard, and another explores Robert Monroe, the founder of the Monroe Institute and Hemi-Sync. [2]
He also talks often about Reality Transurfing, the Silva Method and NLP. [1] See our guides to Reality Transurfing, the Silva Method and NLP.
Sleep meditations
Scott’s channel includes many long sleep meditations, such as “Deep Sleep Meditation – The Master Code”, designed to help you relax and fall asleep while listening to positive suggestions. [2]
As a certified hypnotist, he uses hypnotic language in many of these sessions. [3] Our guides to hypnosis and sleep have more on how to get the most from this kind of listening.

What the Research Shows
Ideas such as parallel realities are speculative, but several of the practices Brian Scott uses, including visualisation, affirmations and meditation, have been studied.
- Visualising your best possible self. Regularly imagining your best possible future self raised positive mood over several weeks. [6]
- Mental rehearsal. A meta-analysis found that mentally practising a task improves real performance. [7]
- Affirming your values. Brief exercises in which people affirm what matters most to them have had lasting benefits in many studies. [8]
- Meditation. A large review found that meditation programmes helped reduce anxiety, low mood and stress. [9]
- Simple if-then plans. Deciding in advance exactly when and where you will act makes people much more likely to follow through. [10]
