The Thorn Institute

Manifestation & heart energy

Intention, coherence, and the heart as a signalling system. Separating the testable claims from the marketing, and what a grounded practice actually looks like.

04 · Keynote topic

Manifestation is the most marketed and least carefully described practice in contemporary spirituality. This talk separates the testable mechanisms — attention, coherence, behavioural priming — from the magical thinking, and walks through what a serious practice looks like.
