The Amazing Science of Manifestation and How to Manifest Anything

What is manifestation?

Manifestation is used interchangeably with The Law of Attraction. There is a perception that it’s the idea that you can sit back, dream up some awesomeness, and watch it come true. 

That is not the whole story. There is a big difference between making a wish in a wishing well and manifesting the thing you wished for. Manifestation has a science to it, and it does take some effort. 

Here is the amazing science of manifestation, which will include some neurology, psychology, and quantum physics. There will be no Ben Stein impersonations here(shout out to the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off fans)! This will be fun, and you will get great tips on manifesting anything you desire. 

Get your thinking caps on because we are about to dive into some fun science. 

Neuroplasticity

The brain is a remarkable organ and can change and adapt both its structure and function. This is neuroplasticity, and it’s why we can learn new ways of communicating after a stroke or how to play the violin. 

It’s also a HUGE influence on our ability to manifest anything! Research shows that we grow new neuro-pathways when we learn something new, and the same happens when we visualize something. 

This is why athletes visualize making that game-winning goal before a game. It gives their brain something to go off of. It’s like tracing a flower from a picture or having a road map.  

Your brain is doing something similar when you visualize your goals. It gives the brain an idea of how to do the thing. Visualizing is the first step to manifesting anything. You have to see it to achieve it. 

Bias and Perception

We all develop biases that shape our perception of the world. If your view of the world is negative/you’re a pessimist, you are more likely to experience a neutral situation negatively because of your bias toward negativity. 

If you are an optimistic person, you are more likely to see a neutral situation in a positive light. You will therefore have more positive experiences because of your bias. 
It’s true what they say…
Change your perception, change your world. 

By focusing on the greatness you want to manifest, you create positive feelings around your manifestation. This means that when an opportunity comes up, you will see it as a stepping stone to your goal. Compared to the pessimistic, not-so-great feeling person who may see it as a distraction or too good to be true. 
Have you ever seen that Never Give Up picture with the two men digging a tunnel toward diamonds?

The one guy is farther away but sees the diamonds in his mind. He is absolutely stoked about those diamonds and is almost salivating. 

The other guy is two more swings of his pickaxe away from breaking through to the diamonds but gives up. You can see on his face that he’s thinking, “this is never going to happen.” 

These two cartoon men are the best visual of how your innate bias and perception affect your ability to manifest anything.

Quantum Physics

Yikes… I know… Quantum Physics… Are you kidding me? 

Here at Spiritual U, we are not quantum physicists. BUT we did learn some really cool things from quantum physicists. 

Max Planck is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and is considered one of the founders of quantum physics. So, he was a pretty smart guy. He said…

"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."

He is talking about the infinite consciousness and how the mind manifests everything into reality. 
Another quantum physics theory is quantum entanglement. This is when two particles link together in some way, no matter how far apart they are in space. It’s based on the Big Bang Theory (The science-y one, not the amazing sitcom).

So… because the universe started as a single atom and exploded into being the universe, the concept of quantum entanglement is that everything is connected. (Which they plan to test on the international space station, by the way.) 
Quantum entanglement, or as Albert Einstein called it, Spooky Action at a Distance, could be one scientific explanation for why the Law of Attraction works. 

How to Manifest Anything

Manifesting is a whole-body experience. You have to see it, feel it, think it, and do it. You have to trace that flower or build that map inside your head to see your path there. Here are some basic steps to get your manifestation juices flowing.

Get a Clear Vision

Get really clear on what you want. What do you look like in this vision? Happy, confident, proud… 
Who’s with you? What are you doing? What does your life look like?
You will use this vision in visualization exercises and meditations. Your vision is allowed to evolve as you journey towards your manifestation. Think of it like following a compass. You don’t always walk in a straight line to get to where you’re going. 

Feel It

While you are visualizing the life you’re manifesting, feel it! Feel what it will feel like to achieve this. What would you feel as you cross that finish line? What will it be like to accomplish that career goal?  Create those positive feelings through your visualization exercises EVERY DAY. 

Write It Down

Writing is insanely powerful! That's why the people who wrote great notes in class did so well on the tests. Writing cement new ideas into your brain better. It helps the idea become something fully learned instead of being a passing theory that lived inside your brain for a little while. 

When you write down your manifestations, write them like they are happening now. No, going to’s, will’s, or someday’s. Your manifested life is happening right now.
