People use ChatGPT to improve their manifestation practices

Chloe DeChelle, 32, works as an empowerment coach who teaches the event. She told Business Insider that she was looking for new ways to teach manifestation skills and techniques to “different kinds of minds.”

She said the first idea came from “BookTok,” a subsection of TikTok where people discuss books and sometimes create fanfiction around the characters in them. The community inspired her to come up with custom stories for her clients based on their aspirations, but she didn’t have time to write one for each client.

So he turned to ChatGPT and now tells his clients to use a fill-in-the-blank prompt to help with creative visualization.

“The more details you have with him, the better,” DeChelle said.

DeChelle said people have experienced the chatbot correctly guessing details about them, leading some to believe the AI ​​is interacting with them spiritually. DeChelle said this could also be due to points of connection and probabilities based on AI data.

Lisa Van Meurs, a 26-year-old TikToker living in Barcelona, ​​started using ChatGPT as a manifestation tool for creating vision boards and story messages.

“For me it was the first time I felt the feeling so strongly. It was so detailed,” Van Meurs said.

Van Meurs said that before using ChatGPT, her goals changed every two months, and it became too time-consuming for her to manually rewrite the story every time her desires changed.

Another TikToker, Britta Stevenson, 29, told BI that she uses ChatGPT during her daily hour-long meditation and journaling sessions. Stevenson uses the chatbot to provide on-demand help for a range of therapeutic manifestations and practices, including rewiring limiting beliefs, which are views about your life or yourself that might block your ability to manifest your desires.

Stevenson said she asks ChatGPT to analyze her written visions and identify themes and blockages in her writing. She then asks ChatGPT to help her rewire her thought patterns by giving her counterexamples to her fears. She said the practice helped her overcome her anxiety about creating content.

Stevenson and other TikTok users refer to the chatbot as their “bestie” or “mentor.” She said the nice part about ChatGPT is that if you don’t like the advice she’s giving you, you can ask her to focus on another outlet or tell her to change her tone.

Clinical psychologist and manifestation expert Anna Kress said AI can be an “incredible tool for improving manifestation practices” and can help people “break through psychological barriers.”

“I can see it being extremely helpful for people who want to try manifestation practices but struggle with creativity or visualization,” Kress said.

But she added that the tool comes with risks. Kress said some people share personal information about themselves or others without consent. Others have tried manifestation methods by cloning a romantic partner’s voice and having them say things they want to hear, she said.

“This type of practice has ethical as well as mental health implications,” Kress said. “By focusing too much on trying to manifest a certain persona, we can lose sight of our ethical boundaries and what it means to manifest healthy relationships.”

Kress recommends using the tool as a supplement rather than a replacement for inner work and personal insight. For example, you can use ChatGPT to create journal prompts, but then you should reflect on your answers independently, she said.
