The law of attraction is more than just thinking positively and hoping for the best. In fact there is concrete science behind your innate ability to attract everything you desire. This article will explain the scientific nuts and bolts behind the law of attraction.

If you’re like many people you love the idea of being able to use the law of attraction to manifest the things you want in life. But you may have a problem letting go and fully believing this will work for you because it’s contrary to what the mainstream education and media systems call reality.

For the next couple of minutes forget about what the average person considers realistic. After all, how many “average” people do you know who are really happy with their lives? The fact is most people are not scientists, and therefore it’s not fair to assume the status quo reality has anything to do with scientific knowledge.

It’s sad but true: Most people are not comfortable believing they can really have everything they want in life. They’d rather play it safe and stick with the familiar ground of disappointment and struggle.

The law of attraction is real. It’s every bit as real as gravity. In fact gravity is one example of the concept of attraction in action.

Bodies in our solar system maintain their orbits because the magnetic pull of the sun. You and I are able to remain rooted on the earth because we are attracted to it by gravitational forces.

If you boil these forces and laws down you’ll see they are not unlike the laws behind attraction and manifestation. This takes a bit of expansive and even abstract thinking, but it’s quite logical if you take the time to ponder it.

Now let’s have a look at a few specific scientific theories/studies that support the existence of the law of attraction.

First of all you should be aware of the belief many scientists hold that time is not linear as we perceive it. In other words, many theories exist that time does not move from point A to point B the way we experience it; in fact time does not really exist at all as a natural law.

Time is a construct. It’s a phenomenon we as humans agree on as a way of managing our lives and the world around us. The truth is everything that could happen is happening right now, and our conscious minds identify and separate these events into different moments and possibilities.

In simpler terms, endless possibilities are actually taking place right now in an unlimited number of dimensions, or universes. And the human mind is consciously aware of only one of these realities at a time, thus resulting in the illusion of time progressing moment to moment.

Hugh Everett was among the first researchers to popularize this idea through the Relative State Formulation. Later Bryce Seligman DeWitt renamed this formulation the Many-Worlds-Theory.

Some people also call this belief in infinite dimensions or realities the Multiple Worlds Theory. Physicist John Wheeler, among many others, suggests that each of us chooses the reality or universe to observe from moment to moment, thereby creating our own distinct reality.

Think about this for a moment. Right now, as you read this article, you are observing/occupying a specific “timeline” or dimension; you have a job, a home, friends, hobbies, etc. But there could also exist simultaneously another dimension or reality where you are a multi-millionaire, or one where you have your ideal body, or one where you live happily with your dream mate.

One way to think of the law of attraction is to consider it the act of choosing which reality to observe. By way of focused intention you attract to you the exact reality you prefer to inhabit.

Another great theory to help explain the law of attraction is the Wheeler-Feynman Absorber Theory, which was originally designed to explain the actions of charged particles, such as photons. Consider this model:

You have a desire, thus emitting specific particles. This makes sense as everything in the universe is made up of energetic particles, including thought waves.

As the particles of your thought/desire leave the source (you), they send an offer wave forward in time to the detectors, or possibilities. When this offer wave, made up of your intentions, reaches the target detector, or possibility, the detector responds with an echo wave.

These two waves (offer and echo) can interact in a number of ways. They can cancel one another out, build on one another, or intersect in other ways within an interference pattern.

This is all taken from a model using particles and waves. But since your thoughts are measurable energy, i.e. particles and/or waves depending on the moment of observation, the theory is totally applicable to you intending or attracting one of many possibilities to yourself by sending an offer wave out to multiple detectors or realities.

You are essentially vibrating a specific intention, or offer wave, and then choosing which detector, or result/reality, to observe through your thoughts and actions.

So if you’ve sent an offer wave in the form of an intention to create more money, and your thoughts and actions are focused on creating this reality, you will attract the new result you want. Conversely if you’ve sent the offer wave of creating more money but your thoughts and actions are fretting your current lack and complaining about what you don’t have you’ll end up canceling out your initial intention.

This article really just scratches the surface of the science behind the law of attraction. But as you can see here the dynamics at play are very real.

And in most cases the reasons for not believing in your ability to attract a chosen reality are pretty far from scientific. Let’s face it: just saying “that’s not possible” really doesn’t measure up to the evidence that supports the law of attraction.

Long before hit movies like the Secret made the law of attraction a popular theme, it was intuitive knowledge that we create our own future. There are many viewpoints as to how this actually happens, but the most effective approach is often the simplest.

Manifestation exercises abound these days. That’s a good thing, because it means more and more people are taking responsibility for their lives and for their role in society.

But I urge the reader not to get lost in the search for the “best technique.” The truth is you can keep the whole process of attraction simple and still get awesome results.

Here’s an example from my own life:

Not long ago (at the time of this writing) my new laptop was destroyed in an unfortunate mishap. And I do mean completely destroyed beyond any hope of possible repair.

Needless to say I found this pretty distracting. I love working on projects in the local bookstore café, and it’s hard to drag my desk and cable connection all the way down there so the laptop is a fairly important piece of equipment for me.

What to do?

Well, like many people I spent the first hour or so feeling sorry for myself and wondering how the universe could have let this happen. Never mind the catastrophe being blatantly my fault, I was going to have my pity party.

This passed, and I got down to the business of planning how I would get another laptop. I could just go buy a new one, but I had another idea.

I decided that I was going to be “sent” a replacement laptop within the next week. I relaxed my mind and body, thought about this for a few minutes, became convinced it was the absolute truth, then let it go and got on with my day.

Two days later the phone rang. My friend Pete had just bought a new laptop and wanted to give me (for free!) his old one!

How’s that for some fabulous attraction in action?

What is the science behind all this? Well some people would say it’s just a fluke, but since this stuff happens to me all the time I know better.

I won’t pretend to know the exact atomic reasons for this, but I will say that having a relaxed mind and body and projecting my intention with confidence and cheer have produced some amazing results. Let me emphasize the part about a relaxed mind and body.

A lot of material leaves this out, and I believe many people don’t get what they try to attract because they fail to be relaxed and in harmony when they visualize. It’s been well-known for thousands of years that a relaxed mind and body bring more focus and power into play, and it only makes sense to apply this to our visualization exercises.

Spend a few minutes doing some deep breathing exercises, or just lying in a comfortable position while listening to soothing music. Once you have attained a blissful state, then go into your visualizations.

Give this a try and see if it improves your results.

The symbiosis of giving and receiving lies at the heart of what we call life. And your role on either side of this interaction can open doors to amazing new opportunities.

By giving to others without expecting a return we make the world a better place. You could give food to the needy, give time to someone who needs to talk, give love to a stranger on the street through a smile, give value to your customers by over-delivering on your promises, or whatever the case may be.

This open transfer of energy attracts like activity from those around us and the Universe itself. By giving freely you vibrate generosity and life tends to give freely back to you.

On the other side of the coin, being a good receiver not only allows you to benefit from the kindness of the world, it allows others to experience the joy of giving. This part of the equation is often missed.

Most people will actually argue with someone who wants to give them something. How many times have you refused to allow someone else to pay for your lunch, for instance?

Not long ago I was in line at the grocery store. I saw two men in line. One fellow kindly threw his friend’s bag of candy on the counter and paid for it.

Instead of being thankful, the fellow on the receiving end began to argue. Despite his friend’s insistence that he relax and just take the candy, this fellow threw his money on the counter and left the store.

Not only did this gentleman make an ass of himself over a bag of candy, he deprived his friend of the joy of giving. Perhaps more importantly, he vibrated strongly from a place of non-receiving.

I happen to know the guy who was miffed by his friend’s attempt to buy his candy. He works hard on a construction crew and will never make more money than what his boss decides he is worth.

And if his attitude toward life is anything like what he displayed in the store that day he is NOT open to receiving more than what he currently has. This is so critical - I hope the reader grasps the value of my point!

Being a good receiver is a must if you really plan to live an abundant life. If you make a point to decline the generosity of others you are saying to divinity “I do not want more.”

Whether it’s an offer to buy your bag of candy, a compliment about the way you look, or an invitation to get in front of somebody at the checkout line, be a good receiver and take the gift!

I believe a balance is needed between giving and taking. And I believe people who are happily ready to do both (give and receive) will always be more prosperous than people who are either stingy and won’t give or insecure and won’t receive.
