It may seem like a woo-woo trend, but there’s legit science behind manifestation, according to James R. Doty, author of ‘Mind Magic.’
You’ve likely heard about manifestation, the idea that you can literally will a dream or goal into existence via aspirational thoughts. The trend, which has a humble 6 million posts on TikTok and counting, exploded during the pandemic as people started sharing stories about how they supposedly manifested major life wins like a dream job, £7,500 in the bank, and the perfect partner. If you’ve scrolled by such reels and rolled your eyes, thinking as if, we get it.
“You activated certain cognitive brain networks that increased the likelihood of you manifesting your intention,” Dr. Doty says. Setting the right kind of intention makes all the difference. Dr. Doty says people often make the mistake of creating intentions that are selfish or motivated by external affirmation. Maybe you want a prestigious career or a fancy car because people — like your mum or your friends — will think highly of you.
