Rochelle Fox got into this crap I think too and does "courses."
Manifestation - anything you want in this world you can have if you dream, believe, achieve and receive.

Didn't Noel Edmonds promote this way of thinking, with cosmic ordering? Load of shite.
It definitely is unhealthy and dangerous and imo exploits vulnerable people like your friend. I've heard that 11:11 crap and think wtf is going on in these people's heads
100% this. There’s no escaping the fact that the ideology suggests that innocent people who are in bad situations only have themselves to blame. I bet a lot of the believers are so privileged that they don’t even consider how these people factor in
I do think there’s something to be said about a positive mindset - people do have success in writing positivity diaries and reading affirmations. Personally I’ve backed away from some toxic relationships and find that I’m feeling so much better for it in general. But that’s helpful to mental health, it’s not magic and won’t completely change your life
I feel like the whole manifestation thing is just another move to the popularisation of pseudoscience. People are now doubting vaccines and modern medicine, and believing that veganism, essential oils and crystals can heal anything. At least those forms of alternative medicine were tangible I guess? Now it’s going toward “my mum believed she could walk and that was what healed her”
No idea who the women in the video are but what a pair of morons. Many people with disabilities / illnesses / other issues must have been watching and feeling like tit
This is something I have a real problem with... much like a cult, these Manifestation gurus and “psychics” prey on vulnerable people, often those who are in financial hardship or have recently experienced an emotional trauma like your friend. They see someone who is searching for comfort or reassurance or a way out of their situation and present themselves as the solution to all their problems, usually with a price tag attached. They are nothing but snake oil salesmen.
If I could manifest anything this easily my MIL would have went to her eternal life a long time ago.
Any chance she might take mine with her?
Just saw this on insta - have a read of the description write up as it’s very interesting x
We were discussing how dangerous this mind set can be over on the Elle Darby thread. I'm all for positivity attracts positivity, but dreaming of owning a range rover, without working hard and saving, does not mean you will own a range rover.
I think manifestation along with anxiety are the 2020 buzz words, everyone's doing it or has it.
I got sucked in shortly after having my first baby, even went as far as buying crystals to help... I needed a doctor not a rose bloody quartz!
I spoke to a very old school midwife, who was trained in hypnobirthing. Im a keen yogi so I knew it was something I would be doing in preperation for birth, this midwife told me that yes hypno has many benefits but it also sets women up for failure. If you don't breathe your baby out, some feel they did something wrong. I ended up with an emergency c section, I know I'm rambling but it's very similar. Believing so hard your going to get what your manifesting, there's no support for when you don't achieve.
Also, I read the secret and when it said that you should be grateful for the opportunity to exercise once your car is stolen (true story) it went in the drawer.

I also got sucked in after my first baby. I was all over the place with no routine, no sleep, comfort eating. I thought it was the answer to my problems. It wasn’t!!
Has anyone else noticed that the people who get into all this manifestation bollocks, generally did at a time when they were going through difficulties/hardships/struggles in their lives?? It’s usually pushed on people who are vulnerable and they then believe that they will find some sort of answer to their problems, or believe that the person who introduces them is the answer to their problems
I think I was looking for a solution, and this was definitely not the one. I laugh now when I think back to how seriously I took it, but it wasn't healthy.
Googled to find this thread. Omg I’m so glad other people find this so annoying! It’s all over my YouTube recommended. Loads of young lifestyle YouTubers telling us to take a few hours between filming ourselves making açai bowls and topping up the lip filler to imagine our own white range rovers into existence. Come on guys, imagine yourself out of being poor! All seems to to stem from that book they secret’, which is okay but is that same regurgitated self help advice in different words. Basically have goals and believe in yourself.
I do get it, having someone else say it to you in the form of a book/video can a kick up the arse to remember, but these girls have taken it way too far and it’s so patronising!!

It’s the same as cults, they just target people who are weak. There should be tougher restrictions on this rubbish imo
This is literally the biggest pile of tit. A girl on my insta posted today about manifesting a water machine (kangen, also a bunch of garbage).
She posted how she manifested it into her life back in Feb, she dreamed it was already in her kitchen, she dreamed she was already giving the water to her family, she believes she already had it and now she owns one.
Like wtf no witch you went online, put your card details in and ordered one to your door?? It didn’t magically appear in your life because you dreamed it did.

The last bit made me laugh
If you can apparently manifest water, it makes you wonder why all these third world countries are struggling hey?! Maybe this dick head could share her magical powers with them?!
I know, I’m pretty sure people in drought stricken countries in Africa want the water more than you, but it hasn’t magically appeared to themThe last bit made me laugh

Even worse it’s an £800 water machine that “purifys” water. Apparently regular water is BAD for you, it actually dehydrates you and only this magical water is good for you!! No you paid almost a grand for a bleeping Brita filter.
Of corse she is also anti vax and the water is “proven” to kill Coronavirus so she just sprays water on her hands instead of hand sanitizer.
Who is this person?!!! I absolutely need to follow her! She seems to have all the answers It sounds lovely in theory but that one about the ego, lol. I feel like a lot of these ‘manifesters’ have some of the biggest ego’s going with the way they are SO SURE it works and and try to convince the rest of us to get on their crazy train.
These are the same kind of people who do the whole ‘healing crystals’ thing, right? It seems like such a childish mentality to think that if you want something all you have to do is imagine having it and then it miraculously appears in your life at some point. That is literally how a child sees the world. I can’t. This is worse than healing crystals and the obsession with numbers.

You’ve summed it up so perfectly
Do nothing but sit in your house and wait and see how long it takes the universe to bring these things
