A Journey Through Manifestation and the Mind’s Mysterious Power
Last night, I called my grandmother to let her know I’d be coming over for breakfast. Just before going to bed, I had a quiet craving for something specific, ‘idiyappam and coconut milk’. I didn’t mention it. I simply thought about it, felt the texture and smell of the dish in my imagination, and went to sleep.
The next morning, as I walked into her home, there it was. She had prepared the exact dish.
Coincidence? Perhaps.
But when this kind of thing happens repeatedly — and in meaningful ways — you begin to wonder: Could our thoughts shape reality more than we realize?
The First Time It Happened
I was five years old, about to participate in a speech competition at school. We were supposed to prepare ten topics, but I had prepared only one. Just before going to bed, the realization hit. I panicked.
My mother, a psychotherapist and spiritual healer, calmed me down and guided me through a visualization practice. “Imagine yourself picking the one topic you know, standing on stage, and speaking confidently. Feel what it’s like to win,” she said gently.
The next morning, it was as if I had seen the future. I picked the same topic, delivered it well, and won the competition.
