ConnectIONS Live!
Manifesting — bringing about positive outcomes through thought or belief — is making news these days. Though these mental “magical” practices have been around for eons, recently even the New York Times has dipped its toes into esoteric waters, with an article on the increased interest from millennials in the law of attraction and power of positive thinking.
While most of the reports speak to the popularity of such practices, referring to anecdotal reports from practitioners who often speak of “universal laws,” these articles share little to nothing on what we know from a scientific perspective. How much influence do our thoughts really have on our experience of the material world?

Join IONS Director of Experience & Engagement, Kerstin Sjoquist, along with IONS Chief Scientist, Dean Radin, on Friday, March 19th at 11:00am PDT, as we explore what research has shown us about setting intentions for a specific outcome, and how that might inform techniques and practices meant to intentionally influence events and outcomes.
