In life, you get out what you put into most things. Author of The Family Guide to the Law of Attraction Mary Petto says that "the energy that we put out, as molecular beings, has a vibration, and that taps into everything in our universe on that same frequency." Everything is connected, and through the practice of manifesting "we can tap into [this energy] in a purposeful way to bring back to us what we want."
Manifesting has become very popular on TikTok, as users teach new methods, and talk about their own experiences manifesting. Some videos even say, "I manifested that everyone that sees this will have the best 2021 ever" or "everyone seeing this will have the biggest glow up." People in the comments then "claim" the video, and let this thought guide them into making decisions that will improve their year or glow up.
Petto isn't surprised that manifesting has made its way into mainstream social media, because "there is a lot of open-mindedness in younger generations." Having an open mind, and "understand[ing] how you can change yourself" can help jumpstart you to a new lifestyle of manifesting your dreams.
Below are three manifestation methods to try from TikTok. Disclaimer: I have not tried any of these methods as of publication.
1. ScriptingÂ
This method involves writing down your hopes and desires as if you already have them (ex: Writing down "My ex texted me today, it made me feel *this way*" even though this didn't actually happen.) This helps you envision this desired reality as your real reality, and shows you that you can control your mindset.
2. The 3,6,9 Method
This one also involves writing, but in a more structured way; write the subject down three times, your intention six times, and the action involving this scenario nine times. This one is more focused on things coming to you, but with this mindset these things are more possible to occur.
3. The Wheel Technique
TikTok by @Piscesdoll
@Piscesdoll on TikTok introduced her followers and the For You Page to the Wheel Technique: another written technique in which you place your subject in the middle, saying what you are trying to manifest. Then, you branch your subject out into at least 4-8 affirmations that'll help achieve the overall goal.
