What is manifesting ?

Anyone understand the thing called 'manifesting'? Seems to be just a female empowerment movement led by people like Jackie Gillies (here in Oz), and people such as Sarah Prout and Loren Trlin in the USA. It look like a fancy female empowerment movement for women who have come out of 'abusive relationships' to become 'elite citizens' etc. Looking at the websites for the people mentioned above seems to make me think it's based around success coaching for business and wealth creation (through things that look strikingly like the hallmarks of MLM-type enterprises) and embracing men who follow that.
