Manifesting - the wellness trend that's everywhere
Manifesting is something Dua Lipa and England footballer Ollie Watkins have both credited for their success. But what is it all about?
When the pop star Dua Lipa headlined the UKβs Glastonbury festival earlier this year she said sheβd manifested the moment. The footballer Ollie Watkins says he manifested scoring the goal that sent England through to the final of Euro 2024. And some athletes at the Paris Olympics said they manifested their medals.
Manifesting is the idea you can βthinkβ your goals into reality, and it's big business. There are apps, books, podcasts and courses all about it. But with growing popularity comes growing scepticism.
For 5 Minutes On, reporter Megan Lawton has been speaking to a woman who describes herself as the 'UK's leading manifesting expert', and to an academic who's concerned the practice could leave some people more vulnerable to scams.
