clear sign or expression of something
A clear sign or example that shows a feeling, quality, or idea.

A sign in the body that shows a disease or medical problem.

making desires real by intention
In self-help and spiritual talk, making your wishes become real by strongly focusing your mind on them.

Synonyma
realization (More general and neutral; does not include the idea of using spiritual or mental techniques.)
|
attraction (Used within the phrase "law of attraction"; narrower and strongly tied to a specific belief system.)
Antonyma
