Understanding Alpha and Beta Brainwaves
Alpha and beta are two frequency bands measured through electroencephalography (EEG). Alpha activity is commonly discussed in relation to relaxed wakefulness, attention, and the way the brain processes information. Beta activity is often observed during active thinking and alert mental engagement.
However, these brainwave patterns are not simple labels for wealth, stress, or success. Their meaning depends on factors such as brain region, task, and the person’s current mental state.
A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis examined 54 studies involving 2,569 participants. It found that alpha activity in certain EEG regions was associated with some measures of relaxation. The findings do not establish that alpha waves attract money or produce financial outcomes. PubMed+1
What Research Says About Manifestation
Visualization and positive self-talk are popular practices in personal development. They may help people clarify goals and maintain motivation, but the belief that thoughts alone can attract external wealth is a different claim.
A study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin examined manifestation beliefs across three studies involving 1,023 participants. Researchers found that people with stronger manifestation beliefs tended to view their future success more positively. However, the study found no relationship between manifestation belief and objective income or educational attainment. It also identified associations with riskier financial decisions.

The 9-Word Wealth Script
The VSL presents a nine-word technique combining visualization with a spoken script. It describes this as a way to activate what it calls a “wealth signal.”
That explanation should be understood as the Vendor’s proposed theory, not an established neuroscience finding. The available research on brainwaves and manifestation does not demonstrate that a particular nine-word script can attract money, increase income, or produce wealth 20 times faster than other methods.
The distinction is important: exploring a mindset practice can be interesting, but financial decisions should still be based on realistic goals, sound planning, and evidence rather than guaranteed manifestation claims.
