How to Manifest Health with the Law of Assumption
Neville Goddard believed that the body is the outer expression of inner consciousness. Your physical health, like every other aspect of your reality, is a reflection of your dominant assumptions. This doesn't mean illness is your fault, but it does mean you have the power to assume a new state of health and watch your body respond.
Neville shared numerous stories of miraculous healings that occurred when individuals fully assumed the state of perfect health. He taught that the feeling of health is health itself. When you can genuinely feel yourself to be well, whole, and vibrant, your body begins to align with that assumption.
This guide is meant to complement, not replace, medical treatment. Use the Law of Assumption alongside your healthcare provider's guidance.
The Mind-Body Connection
Modern science increasingly confirms what Neville taught decades ago: your mental state profoundly affects your physical body. Stress hormones weaken the immune system. Positive expectations improve treatment outcomes (the placebo effect). Visualization techniques are used in sports medicine and rehabilitation.
The Law of Assumption takes this further. Your body doesn't just respond to your thoughts. It conforms to your assumptions. When you assume health, your body's intelligence works toward that state. When you assume illness or decline, it follows that blueprint instead.
Step-by-Step Health Manifestation Guide
Step 1: Stop Telling the Old Story
Every time you describe your symptoms, diagnose yourself, or identify as someone who is sick, you reinforce the assumption of illness. This is the hardest step for many people because the physical sensations feel so real. But the 3D is always showing yesterday's assumptions. You can acknowledge your current experience without making it your identity.
Step 2: Assume the State of Perfect Health
Begin feeling yourself as someone who is perfectly healthy, vibrant, and full of energy. How would a perfectly healthy version of you feel right now? What would they be doing? How would they move through their day? Step into that identity.
Step 3: Use SATS for Deep Impression
The SATS technique is particularly powerful for health manifestation because the drowsy state allows assumptions to bypass the conscious mind's objections and reach the subconscious directly.
Step 4: Practice Revision
Use the revision technique to reimagine past medical appointments, diagnoses, or health scares with your desired outcome. This rewrites the emotional charge of those memories and shifts your dominant assumption.
SATS Scenes for Health Manifestation
The Doctor's Report Scene: Imagine sitting in your doctor's office as they look at your results with surprise and say, "Everything looks perfect. You're in excellent health." Feel the relief, the joy, the gratitude. This is not hope. This is your reality.
The Activity Scene: Imagine yourself doing an activity that perfect health would allow. Running through a park, playing with your children, hiking a trail, dancing at a celebration. Feel the strength in your body, the freedom of movement, the vitality flowing through every cell.
The Mirror Scene: Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing the picture of health. Your eyes are bright, your skin is glowing, your body feels strong and capable. Feel genuine admiration for your healthy body.
The Phone Call Scene: Imagine calling a loved one and saying, "I just got my results back. Everything is perfect. I feel incredible." Hear their joyful response. Feel the shared celebration of your health.

The Neville Goddard Approach to Healing
Neville told the story of a woman who was told she would never walk again. She refused to accept this assumption. Every night, she imagined herself dancing. She felt the rhythm, the movement, the joy. Within months, she was walking and eventually dancing again.
The lesson is clear: do not accept a diagnosis as a permanent assumption. A diagnosis is information about where your body is right now, based on past assumptions. It is not a prophecy about your future. You have the power to assume a new state of health at any moment.
Neville said, "Health is a state of consciousness. Assume the state of health, and the body must conform." This is not denial of physical reality. It is the application of a spiritual law that transcends physical limitations.
Common Mistakes in Health Manifestation
Researching Symptoms Online
Every time you search your symptoms online, you reinforce the assumption of illness and often make it worse by discovering new things to worry about. Limit your research. Trust your healthcare provider and your imagination.
Talking About Your Illness Constantly
When you make your illness the center of your conversations, you are living in the state of being sick. Redirect conversations away from your condition. Speak about your life as a healthy person would.
Fighting Against the Illness
Resistance reinforces what you resist. Instead of fighting against sickness, assume the state of health. There is a subtle but important difference between "I am beating this disease" (which assumes you have it) and "I am perfectly healthy" (which assumes the end result).
Losing Faith After Bad Days
Healing is rarely linear. You may have days where symptoms flare or where you feel worse. These are not signs that your manifestation has failed. They are the old story playing out. Persist in your assumption regardless of temporary setbacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really heal myself through imagination?
Neville Goddard documented many cases of physical healing through assumption. Modern science supports the mind's influence on the body through the placebo effect and psychoneuroimmunology. The Law of Assumption takes this further by stating that your assumption of health is the primary creative force. Always continue working with healthcare professionals while applying these principles.
How do I stay positive when I feel physically sick?
You don't need to deny your symptoms. Acknowledge how your body feels right now, then consciously shift to assuming health. The goal is not to pretend you feel fine when you don't, but to refuse to make illness your dominant assumption. Practice SATS at night when physical discomfort may be less distracting.
Can I manifest healing for someone else?
Yes. Neville taught that you can assume health on behalf of others. Imagine them telling you they are completely healed. Imagine seeing them vibrant and well. Since everyone is you pushed out, your assumption about their health influences the version of them you experience.
Should I stop medical treatment?
No. The Law of Assumption works alongside medical treatment, not as a replacement for it. Continue following your healthcare provider's recommendations while simultaneously assuming perfect health. Your assumption can enhance the effectiveness of any treatment.

Glossary Terms
Revision Technique
A Neville Goddard technique where you mentally replay an undesirable event from your day, reimagining it as you wished it had happened, thereby changing the impression on your subconscious and altering your future experience.
Subconscious Mind
The deeper layer of mind that Neville Goddard identified as the creative power that receives impressions from imagination and feeling, then faithfully expresses them as physical circumstances and experiences.
Feeling Is the Secret
The core principle from Neville Goddard's book of the same name, teaching that the feeling of an experience, not mere intellectual belief or visualization, is what impresses the subconscious mind and creates physical reality.
Related Comparisons
Revision vs Mental Diet
Revision and mental diet serve different but complementary purposes. Revision heals the past and removes limiting impressions, while mental diet shapes your present and future assumptions. Together, they form a complete inner practice. If you must choose one, mental diet has broader daily impact.
VSNeville Goddard vs Joseph Murphy
Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy share the same foundation—impressing the subconscious mind to manifest desires—but differ in framing. Neville is more mystical and empowering (you are God), while Murphy is more accessible and prayer-oriented. Both are highly effective; choose based on which framing resonates.
VSMeditation vs SATS
Meditation and SATS serve different purposes. Meditation calms the mind and builds awareness—excellent preparation for manifestation work. SATS is a targeted manifestation tool that creates specific subconscious impressions. Use meditation to create the calm, focused state that makes SATS more effective, but understand that meditation alone is not a manifestation technique.
