In our current world, everything is changing rapidly, and we are adapting to this change. But one thing remains constant: our thoughts. The recently popularized technique of manifesting claims that the life you envision is much closer than you think. Do our thoughts truly shape our future?
In this article, we will explore what manifesting is, how it works, and how our brains participate in this process.
This practice, which goes beyond simply wishing for things from the universe, can have effects spanning from psychology to spiritual beliefs. Are you ready? Then it is time to take a step toward transforming your life!
The manifesting technique is the process of bringing your desires or goals to reality through thoughts and emotions. It is a mental process that relies primarily on positive thinking, focusing, and visualization to attract your aspirations into your life.
The fundamental principle of manifesting is using the power of your mind to attract or realize what you want. There are several key steps to achieving this:
Manifesting is generally regarded as a spiritual and psychological concept, but it is not a scientifically proven phenomenon. Nevertheless, some research and scientific studies have examined the psychological effects of manifesting. These studies have shown that concepts such as positive thinking, focusing, visualization, and motivation can influence individuals’ success. However, claims that manifesting relies on mystical forces from the universe or external sources are generally not supported by scientific evidence.
A study titled “The Secret” to Success? The Psychology of Belief in Manifestation investigates the psychology behind belief in manifestation, examining its psychological foundations and outcomes. In a study involving 1,023 participants across three separate studies, a reliable and valid measurement tool called the “Manifestation Scale” was developed.
More than one-third of participants reported believing in manifesting.
Individuals who believe in manifesting perceive themselves as more successful and believe they have a higher likelihood of achieving success in the future.
These individuals are more inclined toward risky investments and have a higher likelihood of experiencing bankruptcy. Belief in manifesting increases individuals’ conviction that they can achieve success at unrealistic levels.
Belief in manifesting shows strong associations with psychological concepts such as the combination of positive thinking and action, belief in karma, and spirituality. However, this belief is not directly related to individuals’ actual levels of success, such as income or education.
As a potential risk, excessive optimism and unrealistic expectations can lead individuals to negative outcomes such as financial loss. Belief in manifesting may cause individuals to reframe their failures—for example, by thinking “I am not yet fully aligned with the universe”—leading to unrealistic hopes and goals.
Although manifesting is not definitively accepted as a scientific concept, it holds an important place in psychology due to its incorporation of psychological strategies such as positive thinking, focusing, and visualization. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that manifesting is connected to universal forces. Nevertheless, it is possible to say that manifesting can serve as an effective mental tool for helping individuals achieve success.
