Have you ever wondered whether manifestation and affirmations are real? Or rather how it works? High-key, scientific data backs these practices, showing that you can manifest change through the power of your thoughts. It all ties into the placebo effect, the nocebo effect, and more.
Our body consists of around 30 trillion cells which each have numerous receptors in them. Receptors are specific to one peptide, kind of like how only one type of key fits into a certain lock. Anyway, during the experience of feelings like anger, sadness, guilt, excitement, happiness, you name it, an individual set of neuropeptides is released, for each emotion. Those peptides interact with the cell receptors, causing alterations in the cell structure. When dividing cells who have received more peptides of one kind, the newly formed part will have more receptors matching that peptide. Now the crucial part is this: if you've been in a cycle of negative self-talk, neglecting your daily affirmations, your cells become programmed to absorb negativity and reject positivity. Don`t panic. This isn't the end. Fortunately, most of our cells are replaced every 2 months, through which you can reprogram them into positive ones, by having an optimistic mindset.
So, you read until here and probably think “dude, this low-key isn't manifestation”. Well, here's the explanation. The placebo effect, fake treatment real response. The placebo effect, believing a fake medication (placebo), like pain killers, is the real product, can have the same effects due to the power of thought, literally “thinking yourself well”. Studies show expectations and belief have real physiological outcomes, like reduced tiredness and stronger immune systems, through changing brain chemistry. This connects to manifestation, and affirmations as healing is a popular aspect of manifestation. Changing your thoughts positively and precisely can lead to improvements in vision, fitness, health and strength and other biological aspects and overall life performance overall performances and biological aspects in life.
The nocebo effect is the opposite of the placebo effect. As Dr. Bruce Liptone mentions, “(...) your mind will adjust the body’s biology and behavior to fit with your beliefs.” “Basically, if you’ve been told you’ll die in six months and your mind believes it, you most likely will die in six months.” This phenomenon is the nocebo effect, caused by negative thoughts but countered by affirmations.
So that means neither your biology nor your genetic makeup is your destiny, instead your genetic activity is mostly influenced by your thoughts, attitudes, and perceptions. You choose what your genes receive. You create your own biological transformation. So, reshape your life with your thoughts. Transform your aspirations into reality. Don`t forget to manifest and journal your gratitude. It is in your mind.
