Manifestation (or manifesting) refers to
various pseudoscientific self-help
strategies intended to burning about
a personal goal, primary by focusing
one's thought upon the desired outcome.
The techniques are based on the law
of attraction of New Thought spiritually.
While the process involves positive
thinking, or even directing request to
"the universe", it also involves
action-steps on the part of the individual.
Manifestation has been criticised as
having no basis in physical science.
Alison Bernstein, a professor of
translational neuroscience at Michigan
State University said in an interview
with Vice that "You can't magically
make things happen. You can [However]
change the way you react to certain
situations, which sounds to me like
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy". She
want no to assert that "manifestation
is not supported by science.
