Simple framework for analysis: Do you believe in God? If yes, then you would also believe that prayer and faith leads to God's intervention. Since:
(a) prayer is a form of thought;
(b) faith is a form of belief; and
(c) God's intervention changes physical reality,
it follows logically that your thoughts and beliefs can change physical reality. There you have - IM.
If you don't believe in God, then a good starting point would probably be quantum physics (David Bohm or Albert Einstein as the obvious starting points) or psychology (Carl Jung as the obvious starting point).
