Summary:
-
Every January, Americans set resolutions but by February, most intentions fizzle out. Gaia offers AI Guides for manifestation.
-
Gaia leads the shift towards intention-driven living with its library of wellness content and personalized AI Guides.
-
Start with emotions, get specific, turn intentions into rituals, and act as if it’s already working for successful manifestation.
Every January, Americans vow to transform their lives. Better relationships. More money. Healthier bodies. And every February, most of those intentions quietly disappear.
Research from Ohio State University suggests only about 9% of people actually follow through on their New Year’s resolutions, a statistic that has become something of a cultural punch line.

But in 2025, the language around self-improvement shifted. “Manifest” was crowned Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year, signaling a broader turn toward intention-driven living rather than grind-forget-repeat goal setting.
Enter Gaia.
Often called the “Spiritual Netflix,” Gaia has quietly built a library of more than 10,000 films and series focused on wellness, mindfulness, consciousness, and personal growth. Once niche, the platform has gone mainstream as meditation apps top download charts, CEOs tout breathwork routines, and TikTok turns inner work into viral content.
This year, Gaia made its biggest leap yet by launching personalized AI Guides designed to help members apply ancient manifestation practices using modern technology. According to the company, users submitted more than 1 million prompts in the first month alone, a clear sign that curiosity around AI-powered self-transformation is accelerating.
After analyzing those interactions, Gaia distilled the experience into four core tips and AI prompts aimed at helping people manifest the 2026 they actually want, not just the one they write down on Jan. 1.
1. Start With How You Feel, Not What You Want
Manifestation starts with emotional alignment. The idea is simple but uncomfortable: you attract what you embody, not what you wish for.

AI prompt:
“Can you help me reset my energy before I set goals?”
From relationships to money to health, the focus is on identifying emotional blocks before defining outcomes.
2. Get Specific or Get Stuck
Vague goals produce vague results. Gaia’s AI Guides push users to define what love, abundance, or wellness actually look like in their own lives.
AI prompt:
“I want to set a goal, but I need help getting specific. Can you help me clarify it?”
The shift from “I want more money” to “financial freedom means X” is where intention becomes actionable.
3. Turn Intentions Into Daily Rituals
Consistency beats motivation. Gaia emphasizes small, repeatable rituals that anchor big dreams into daily life.
AI prompt:
“Can you suggest a short daily ritual to stay aligned with my goals?”
Think less vision board, more lived rhythm.
4. Act Like It’s Already Working
The final step is embodiment. Instead of waiting for proof, users are guided to show up as the version of themselves who already believe the change is underway.
AI prompt:
“Can you help me tap into the feeling that my manifestation is already on its way?”
It is optimism with structure, not blind faith.
The AI experience was created in collaboration with Gaia host and mathematician Robert Edward Grant, whose work blends geometry, consciousness, and systems thinking. Gaia says the goal is not to replace human intuition, but to help people ask better questions of themselves, consistently.
The fact is, most resolutions fail. The counterfact is that people are clearly hungry for new tools that blend psychology, spirituality, and technology.
