In recent years, the topic of manifestation has become more popular. As it grew in popularity, skepticism also became a topic of discussion. It seems impossible that a wish or aspiration being spoken out loud could come true by using positive energy, but this may not be the whole story. No matter what, the idea of manifesting comes down to what someone believes in and how they use their beliefs. There are essentially two parties in this argument, those who truly believe manifesting is a real form of power and those who believe it is a complete hoax To understand both sides of this argument, we must first understand what manifestation actually is

There is no set date or time of when manifestation became prominent, however different religions have mentioned some version of manifesting These different religions are Christianity and Buddhism, however it is theorized that it began with Hinduism, the oldest religion/faith in the world. The idea of manifestation is a different version of pseudoscientific, a non-scientific proven theory, self help ideas that make a person's aspirations or wishes come true by visually seeing them.

Those who believe in manifestation have stated that there are many benefits that come outside of visualizing a dream. An improvement in mood and mindfulness, creates easier paths for goals and gains a deeper appreciation of tangible and intangible things a person has There have been many viral videos on multiple social media platforms of creators claiming the work of manifestation has provided them with different aspirations These include relationships, money, grades and promotions

There are many different ways to manifest Some of the more popular ones include journaling, visualization or the ‘369’ method. The 369 method is one that takes more time, as you write down what you want three times in the morning, six in the afternoon and nine at night. These processes make someone keep their wish or aspiration in mind until they achieve it.

On the contrary, looking at manifestation through a scientific lens, there is no way to prove if these factors actually work This isn’t something that can easily be proven However, as more and more people have joined this fast growing method more stories of success have come out Those who do not understand the entirety of manifestation simply believe it is some type of magic While magic may not be real, there is also no way to completely prove whether manifestation is real

At the end of the day manifestation is more a form of gaining confidence to complete things we are scared of doing. Job interviews, tests, meeting new people. Writing down that you are able to do something makes it seem real, even if it hasn't happened yet. Confidence is the true answer to manifesting even though it doesn’t seem like it. The next time you feel anxious or nervous, look in the mirror and tell yourself you can do it and that you already did it It may help more than you know”

“Within you is the divine capacity to manifest and attract all you desire.” -
