I turned my life around with the art of ‘manifesting’ after battling addiction for 10 years

Viewers of This Morning have labelled a woman, who believes manifesting changed her life, a ‘scam artist’.

Roxie Nafousie, 32, appeared on the popular ITV programme’s sofa on Tuesday to promote her new book ‘Manifest Dive Deeper. 

Roxie explained how the art of ‘manifesting’ turned her life around after she hit rock bottom in 2018 and detailed several steps people can take to learn how to help themselves. 

The best-selling author told Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield: ‘Manifesting is using the power of your mind to change and create the reality you experience.

‘To manifest, literally means to make it happen. And for me it’s a self-development practice.’ 

Best-selling author Roxie Nafousie, 32, (pictured) joined Holly and Phil on This Morning to discuss her new book on the art of manifesting 

She told the hosts that she had ‘really visualised herself sat on this sofa’ with the pair. 

Continuing, the self development coach described how her twenties had seen her ‘hit rock bottom,’ after she ‘had been in a battle with addiction for 10 years’ and had ‘no self worth.’ 

Yet, after a teacher training course she thought she would turn her life around but didn’t until a friend recommended a manifesting podcast. It was from this point that Roxie learnt about the value of self worth. 

Delving deeper, she explained to Holly and Phil how she has seven steps to manifesting, which are quite active such as undoing fear and doubt and realigning your behaviour to ‘step outside of your comfort zone.’ 

The first step is to reprogram the subconscious and our way of thinking to know what you want. 

The second step is to remove fear and doubt before aligning your behaviour and taking risks for the third step.

Step four is how to deal with challenges and stress, while step five is embracing gratitude without caveat, step six is to turn envy into inspiration and the final step is to trust in the universe and accept that “everything will be okay”.

However, viewers remained unconvinced and sceptical of the author’s advice, and took to Twitter to call her a ‘scam artist.’ 

This Morning hosts Phil and Holly listened to Roxie as she explained her several steps for achieving successful manifestation 

Roxie revealed how she believed she had manifested her way onto the This Morning sofa to discuss her new book 

One Twitter user mocked: ‘Manifesting is nonsense. My crystals told me so… #thismorning’

While someone else tweeted: ‘Another scam artist making cash for something manifested out of thin air #thismorning’

Another suggested: ‘@thismorning Manifesting Masterclass is just a spin off of a book called “The Secret’.’

And a fourth said: ‘If manifesting was a thing everyone would be on constant holidays with massive bank accounts. She’s just selling a scam, hth #thismorning.’

Promoting her new book, Roxie explained how she gets ‘positive messages from people every single day’ explaining how they have ‘transformed’ their lives.

Viewers remained unconvinced of Manifesting and took to Twitter to share their doubts, with many people saying Roxie was ‘selling a scam’

She explained how she believes manifesting is for everyone at every single age. 

Ending the interview, she said: ‘Anyone can practice these seven steps and see an incredible change in their lives.’

Touching on social media she explained how we experience envy through fear and we should turn it round to say ‘these people are showing us what is possible.’

She added: ‘I truly believe that anyone can change their life overnight.’
