Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are back in playoff contention after a 4-8 start, and the Green Bay quarterback has credited the ‘power of manifestation’ for the significant turnaround.
Green Bay looked out of the postseason picture after a Week 12 loss to the Eagles, but the defense has stiffened over the last four contests as the Packers revived their season.
And the eclectic Rodgers believes off-field influences are to thank for the team’s uptick in form.

‘I believe in the power of showing up and I believe in momentum and I really believe in the power of the mind,’ he said after last week’s 41-17 win over the Vikings.
‘And when you start believing in something so much, some miraculous things can happen.
Manifesting can be defined as thinking aspirational thoughts with the hope of realizing them in real life.
Whether it’s a job, a relationship or in Rodgers’ case – a winning streak – the idea is that belief in one’s purpose – combined with proactive steps towards it – will see it through to fruition.
Rodgers threw for 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this season for Green Bay
While it’s unclear what kind of steps Rodgers has taken in trying to reverse the team’s fortunes, the team is now on the brink of the playoffs with a win-and-in matchup against the Lions on Sunday.
‘I was resigned to some of those realities being possible,’ Rodgers said about the prospect of the team missing the playoffs.
‘And when I thought about it, I had peace about it. I was at peace with it all. Whatever it was, I resigned myself to that reality — along with the determined thought that we could still get this thing back.’
Rodgers, who has already thrown his most interceptions in a season since 2010, has also been public about his use of ayahuasca in the past – and its apparent positive effect on his play.

The South American hallucinogenic tea is touted as an alternative treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, with shamans considering the psychedelic a ‘wisdom’ plant that allows entry into the spiritual world. .
‘I did ayahuasca in 2020 and I won two MVPs,’ Rodgers told Fox Sports in September. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence. I don’t really believe in coincidences.
“I believe in science and timing, and I really feel that what has allowed me to do is have more love for the game that I play, more love for my teammates and maybe I had the best season of my career in 2020 and then followed last year with a greater integration of many of those lessons.’
