When manifesting your wildest dreams, there’s always a need for a dash of delusion. Like a kid who believes in magic, it’s important to let yourself dream a bit beyond the possible. When you don’t allow for cynicism to clog up your psyche, you surrender to trusting in the fullest potential and best possible outcome. This aligns your frequency with the opportunities that may seem far-fetched but not entirely impossible. Miracles happen every day, and there are people already living your dream life who prove anything can happen.
A recent tweet referencing using the placebo effect to manifest has gone viral, prompting many to inquire more about the method. The tweet read, “Use the placebo effect to manifest guys,” followed by example placebo affirmations like “Every time I drink water, my skin becomes clear” and “The more I breathe the more money I receive.” While it may seem like delusion to a fault, there’s science backing both placebo phenomenon in health studies, as well as the power in rewriting neural pathways.
What is the Placebo Effect?
Essentially, the placebo effect calls for curating an actionable list of daily affirmations that align with the reality you want. While at first glance it may seem outlandish, training your brain to believe in them can align you with the reality in which they’re true. Another tweet by Ana the Alignment Coach clarifies the original viral tweet: “The placebo effect is one of the most powerful tools for manifestation. If your mind can convince your body it’s healing, imagine what it can do when you truly believe in your goals.”
She continued, “Your mind is always listening. When you believe that something is possible for you, your brain starts to align everything to make it happen. Even if it feels like you’re faking it at first, that belief is creating new neural pathways that say, ‘Yeah, this is real.’Picture your desire in detail like, down to the smallest thing. Feel the emotions as if it’s already in your hands. When your brain believes you already have it, it rewires itself to attract and manifest that reality.
To practice the placebo method, curate your own list of affirmations that align with your own specific goals and desires, and commit to reading or repeating them out loud regularly. If upon writing them they seem completely outlandish— you’re on the right track. The secret to the placebo effect is releasing stress about how it’s going to happen. Once you’ve set your intention, it’s imperative to let go of the need to know exactly how it’ll show up and simply repeat them regularly. Surrendering to the power of belief, it is only when you fully commit to believing in your placebo affirmation without doubting it that you become the energy that pulls it into your life.
