You've probably heard of the book The Secret, published in 2006.
It has sold over 35 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 50 languages.
This global phenomenon highlighted a simple but powerful principle:
Our thoughts create our reality.
But behind the hype lies a much deeper truth.
And today, visualization is no longer just wishful thinking—it's used by top athletes, business leaders, creators, performance coaches, and thousands of people who want to align their daily lives with their deepest desires.
“Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.”
Oprah Winfrey
Visualization: a transformative mental tool
In the 1980s, elite sports coaches began incorporating guided visualization sessions into their training plans.
Studies have shown that the brain can hardly tell the difference between an action that is actually performed and one that is vividly imagined with emotion and precision.
Olympic gymnasts, Formula 1 drivers, tennis players, and golfers have long used this technique to program their bodies and minds for success.
In the business world, leaders such as Jim Carrey, Arianna Huffington, and Will Smith have publicly stated that they have used visualization as a tool for manifestation.
And they are not alone.
What science (and Joe Dispenza) says
Dr. Joe Dispenza, author of several New York Times bestsellers (Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, You Are the Placebo, Becoming Supernatural), has transformed the way we look at manifestation.
His approach, based on neuroscience, quantum physics, and neuroplasticity, is based on a key principle:
"Feeling is the language of the body.
If you can feel the emotion of your future desire now, you begin to change your biology."
In other words, it's not enough to imagine what you want: you have to feel it.
It is emotional commitment that anchors visualization and gives the brain the signal that a new reality is possible, even probable.
Dispenza has demonstrated through MRI and electroencephalograms that certain emotional visualization practices lead to measurable changes in the brain and in the body's physiological responses.
Manifesting is not dreaming. It is programming.
Manifestation is not magical thinking.
It is voluntary and structured mental repetition, supported by deep emotional commitment.
The clearer the mental image, the stronger the emotion, the more effective the anchoring.
That's why visual tools such as visualization boards, mind movies, or manifestation videos have such an impact.
They activate several senses at once: image, rhythm, sound, narration.
And they allow your subconscious to receive new information as if it were already real.
At Manifesto Studio, we go further.
Our videos are not simple montages.
They are short, highly aesthetic, and emotional works, tailor-made from your intention.
This approach amplifies the impact of your vision and reinforces the anchoring of your manifested goals.
A tool for coaching (and for yourself)
More and more professional coaches are using visualization as a strategic starting point in their coaching.
It helps clarify intentions, remove blockages, and project an aligned and bold version of oneself.
At Manifesto Studio, several coaches recommend our videos to their clients as a catalyst for action.
Why? Because a well-visualized goal is a goal already in motion.
You have goals.
A vision.
A part of you that knows exactly what you want to experience.
Whether you want to change careers, dare to launch a project, catch your breath, or simply refocus.
Visualization is not a distraction.
It is a serious practice that serves to bring clarity.
The role of visualization is to awaken that part of you, to nourish it, to give it shape.
And sometimes, a minute is all it takes to transform everything.
