“What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create.”
– Buddha
We all “float” along with the experiences we face in life. When things are going nicely like
we want, we say “I did it.” But, when we end up in a “bad” situation we throw a fit and take on
the role of the victim. With the use and knowledge of the Law of Attraction we can understand
that we determine every outcome by what we are constantly feeling and thinking. We can use
this law to manifest our desired reality and our desired partner. People should have faith in
manifesting and incorporate it into their daily lives because it has scientific research backing it
up, it’s very simple to use, and it has been shown to lead to success in many ways including love.
Like Neale Donald Walsh —author of the series Conversations with God — said, “the purpose of
a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom
The Law of Attraction has always been viewed as “the secret,” when in reality it’s just
science. There are many ways to prove that the law of attraction is real with science, for instance:
the placebo effect or your Reticular Activating System (more on that later), but the most
important one is Quantum physics. According to Chad Orzel — an Associate Professor in the
Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College — Quantum physics is the “study of
matter and energy at its more fundamental level.” Everything in the universe is made up of and
“acts like a particle and wave at the same time” (Orzel). This fact is very important for proving
the law of attraction. Mark Haugton — the author of Manifest it with Quantum Physics — ties
everything together by saying that, “Quantum physics deals with the tiniest particles of energy
called quanta. You know that the Law of Attraction works thanks to vibration and alignment of
energy” (Haughton). The energy that he is referring to is the particles and waves that Orzel
stated. “Research into quantum mechanics has shown that the act of observing reality creates it,”
This phenomenon is called The Observer Effect, which shows that the behavior of particles can
be changed just by observing them. Also, “attempting to observe something causes it to appear
out of nothing” (Haughton). This means that if you are not aware of -- or observing --
something, then it does not exist in your reality. And, light and matter don’t exist until something
occurs to make “real,” which is called collapse of the wave function. This shows us that, “it is
consciousness, which performs this action to manifest reality.” All of the possible outcomes of a
situation is in the wave function, but “only one appears in the real world when it is collapsed by
an attending consciousness.” So, instead of clusters of energy, we see a person because of the
speed of the energy, and our “set of senses perceives the sea of energy from a certainly limited
standpoint and makes up an image from that.” Haughton describes it as a movie reel: “A movie
is a collection of about 24 frames a second. Each frame is separated by a gap.” But, because of
the speed that each frame replaces the next, our eyes “get cheated” and we think we are seeing a
continuously moving picture. Therefore, our thoughts are connected to invisible energy, and our
thoughts then determine what the energy forms into on a, “particle-by-particle basis to create
your physical life.” And, because of this we can change the results or outcomes of situations in
our lives, “through our observation and views of it.” Quantum physics also suggests that your
thoughts combined with your feelings form a magnet-like reaction, according to Marc Bruin —
an certified life/business coach and master NLP Practitioner. “This magnet pulls in experiences
that match your thoughts and feelings” (Bruin). This magnet metaphor connects back to, “what
we feel we attract.” If we feel or think negatively, we attract negative outcomes or results.
Understanding the science behind the law of attraction can now help us develop and use
Even though our thoughts and feelings are an important part of manifestation, taking action
is also needed to achieve what we desire, and this can be done with very simple-to-follow steps.
Before you do anything you first have to decide on what you want! According to Jessica Dimas
—the author of Anything Can Be — doing this first step is very difficult, especially when you’re
first starting out. Dimas suggests, “spend[ing] a few days thinking about it … mainly you want to
think about how it is you want to feel.” Dimas also says that thinking about what you don’t want
can help, “give you an idea for what you do want.” A simple way of doing this is to write down
everything you don't like and underneath it you write what you wish the situation was. Also, you
should make sure it’s something you genuinely want, not something you think you should want.
In addition, Bruin says that you should also be clear about what you want: “If you fail to get
clear on what you DO want, according to the Law of Attraction, you will keep on attracting what
you have been attracting, again and again” (Bruin). The second step is to visualize it.
“Imagination is everything; it is the preview of life’s coming attractions,” Albert Einstein said.
Visualization is a very powerful manifestation technique that we’ve all been using without
realizing it. Ever wonder why a negative situation that you imagined in your head came true?
Manifestation and visualization are the reasons why! Instead of visualizing a positive reality, you
visualized -- and ended up manifesting -- a negative reality. Because, “any thought you may
have, when combined with emotion, vibrates out from you to the universe and will attract back
what you are focusing on” (Bruin). Therefore, having the fear that your manifestation won’t
come true will end in exactly that. “Using your mind to see a future outcome is literally inviting
the essence of that thing into your experience,” wrote Dimas. So, don’t be afraid! Dimas suggests
that every night before you go to bed, you envision only the end result of what you want to
manifest. For example, if you want to have a bestselling book, you should envision yourself on
Good Morning America talking about your new bestselling book. “When you do this before
falling asleep, you’re imprinting this image onto your subconscious mind, basically retraining
what it perceives as your reality,” according to Dimas. Jack Canfield — the author of The
Success Principles and The Chicken Soup series — says that this is done with programming the
Reticular Activating System (RAS), “which serves as a mental filter for the 8 million bits of
information that are streaming into our brains at any one time” (Canfield). And, when your
subconscious or RAS sees an image that you think is your reality, “you will literally begin to
experience your reality shifting.” Canfield also shared his manifestation success story of how he
was able to achieve a life changing goal within a year with this step. Canfield’s mentor was W.
Clement Stone, whose net worth was $600 million when Canfield worked for him. Stone
coached him while he was a teacher in Chicago making $8,000 a year. Stone told him, “I want
you to set a goal that’s so big that if you achieve it, you’ll know it’s because of the secret I am
teaching you” (Stone). Then, Canfield decided to make a goal of making $100,000 that year. He,
“created an image of a $100,000 dollar bill and hung it on the ceiling above [his] bed. Every
morning [he’d] see the image. [And he’d] visualize what it would be like to have $100,000.” By
the end of the year, Canfield made $97,000! Finally, step three is to write it down. According to
the authors of the The Abracadabra Journal — Daryan Betram and Alexis Schroeder — writing
it down helps you get an understanding of what you want and it helps you organize your
thoughts. Also,“studies have shown that you are 1.4-1.8 x more likely to achieve what you write
down” (Daryan and Alexis). These manifestation steps are very simple and they can help you
Everyone in the world is born with the same tools in order to be successful and have
abundance a.k.a. our minds! However, it’s what we do to achieve our goals that’s different from
person to person. With the law of attraction, there’s an unlimited number of outcomes, realities,
or materials that you can manifest. And, it has been shown through regular people, yourself, and
celebrities. Janine James is an example of a regular person who manifested love successfully.
Janine James participated in the Love Mastery Program created by Leeor Alexandra — a
YouTuber who helps people manifest. Janine was “constantly treated as a doormat by many of
[her] exes and often giving 100% only to get back 10%.” (James) She then discovered Leeor’s
YouTube channel and started the program. One exercise that she had to do involved creating a
list of her perfect partner. Her list included: must love nature, pretty eyes, animal lover, healthy,
drama free, and spiritual. She wanted to find a woman who was into new agey things like her, so
she downloaded Tinder. She also started to tell all her friends that she would be in a relationship
by September, and they thought she was crazy! Later on, she matched with someone named
Freddie and the first message she sent was: “wow you messaged me at 11:11” (an angel number).
Janine felt like she was connecting with an old friend, and Freddie had all the qualities that
Janine was looking for. Freddie was: a nature lover, gorgeous, healthy, drama free and spiritual.
They ended up having a first date on September 16th and on the same day they agreed to delete
their Tinder accounts. And, on September 19th Freddie looked Janine in the eyes and said “I love
you”. But, that’s not all. Freddie ended up asking Janine if she knew what the law of attraction
was and she told her that she manifested her! Janine told her that she did the same. Finally now,
they are happy and thinking of marriage. An example of a celebrity who manifested success is
Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has been a firm believer in the law of attraction, and she shared a success
story in an interview with Larry King. It all started when Winfrey got the book The Color Purple
and she became the story. She “ate, slept, and thought all the time about The Color
Purple''(Winfrey). She then moved to Chicago, she got a call from a casting agent and they
asked her if she would like to come and audition for a movie. She “never got a call in [her] life
from anybody for a movie or anything like that.” And she asked the casting agent if it was for
The Color Purple, but they say it's for Moon Song and she went: “well I’ve been praying for The
Color Purple”. She then went to the audition and “of course it was The Color Purple”. She
auditioned but didn’t hear anything for months. She went to a fat farm since she thinks “it’s
because [she’s] fat because [she] was about 212 pounds at the time. She was praying and crying,
saying to God to help her let this go. And she went on the track and sang the ‘I surrender all, I
surrender of all, all to my blessed surrender, I surrender all.’ While she was singing that song a
lady comes out and she says it’s raining and she says there’s a phone call for you.” On the phone
was Steven Spielberg, “saying I want to see you in my office in California”(Winfrey). She says
that moment absolutely changed my life forever because she “had drawn the color purple into
my life”. She didn’t know Steven Spielberg; she didn’t know Quincy Jones who saw her in
Chicago in 1984. “ He was there for a lawsuit that was being filed against Michael Jackson
because he’s been working on his thriller album”. And, he saw her on A.M. Chicago and said that
is Sofia. “I didn’t know anybody that had anything to do with that but I knew that I had drawn
that into my life and it changed the way I thought about my life forever” all because of The
power to create a life that you love with it, so use it to your advantage! Will it be easy? Nope.
