Thus I see manifesting as, at its heart, a practice of well-being, engagement with the world, and living a good life. By practicing it, we cultivate dispositional optimism, defined as a generalized tendency to expect good outcomes across important life domains. Research has shown a staggering number of health benefits associated with dispositional optimism, from improvements in cardiovascular health to how quickly wounds heal to slower disease progression. Where some may believe that the only measure of a successful manifestation is the material results it delivers, I consider this view to be misguided. The true gift of visualizing our intentions again and again is to go through life with a buoyant sense that things will work out for us, which liberates us to be both responsive and resilient no matter what our external circumstances bring.

New England transcendentalism, the Christian gospels, and Hinduism to formulate the notion of the “Law of Attraction.” At its core, the Law of Attraction is the belief that our thoughts determine the nature of the experiences that come into our lives: positive thoughts bring positive experiences and negative thoughts bring negative ones. New Thought served as the foundation for much of the popular literature on manifesting in Western culture, from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich (1937) to Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking (1952) to perhaps the most well-known and notorious, Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret (2006).

Music is good for the soul” is an old saying, but recent research suggests it might be time for a new saying: “music is good for the heart.” A new study shows that listening to music for 30 minutes a day causes people who have suffered from a heart attack to experience significantly less chest pain and anxiety.
