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.

For many of us, there is a subtle energy within us that works to derail our highest goals. Maybe we’re afriad of failure, but in many cases we’re scared of success.

For instance, if you ever get nervous when things are going really well, you are struggling with self sabotage issues. Maybe you feel a disaster must be just around the corner if things are going to plan for you, or perhaps you just can’t emotionally handle it when things are good.

This is more common than most people realize. It’s pretty crazy, and you can actually live out your life without ever realizing this unless you take the time to observe, or unless a friend points it out for you. Watch yourself; do you handle success and happines well?

If you feel discomfort when things are going well for you, I urge you to watch your thoughts and feelings closely. Try to identify how you feel - is it nervousness, irritability, or something else?

Becoming aware is the first step. Once you catch yourself entertaining this kind of subtle, self defeating energy, simply replace it with positive affirmations and visualizations. I also recommend you use basic meditation to help you direct your energies, and check out one or more other studies such as EFT (emotional freedom technique), Yoga, or Ho’oponopono.

The fact that you know what is going on means you have the power to change things. And ultimately this is about your knowing you deserve greatness.

It’s amazing how negatively conditioned most of us are by default. Few people stop to consider the seemingly trivial thing they are taught to say and think by their parents, friends, and the media, but a quick review can show you just how damaging such conditioning is!

Here are a few examples of how debilitating thoughts and ideals can be put into our thought processes by the people around us.

Money Doesn’t Grow On Trees You Know – Did your parents ever say anything along these lines to you when you were young? Mine certainly did.

Maybe the exact phrase used was a bit different. For instance another common saying of this nature would be “Hey I’m not made of money you know”.

While the intention behind this statement is innocent enough, the truth is it plants a seed of lack and scarcity that will grow into quite a mess of weeds later on! Be honest: do you often find yourself thinking in terms of how much money you don’t have, and do you regularly worry about your spending because, after all, there is only so much money to go around?

He’s Filthy Rich – Statements like this are extremely common. I first heard this as a child and you probably did as well.

It’s interesting to note that when I was very young and hearing this kind of talk for the first time it seemed really bizarre to me. Fast forward 30 years and I know it sounded odd because it’s highly unnatural!

Nearly everyone has said this once or twice, but the truth is such connotations are very negative, and can actively work to prevent you from having as much money as you desire!

If you’ll be extra mindful I guarantee you will see that people who say things like ‘they’re filthy rich’, ‘it’s an obscene amount of money’, etc. are also the very same people who harbor great resentment toward folks with plenty of cash. I’ll bet you’ve seen what I’m referring to before.

The subject of a wealthy individual in your hometown comes up and terms like ‘filthy rich’ get kicked around. The next thing you know you can literally hear the bitterness in somebody’s voice as he or she says something like “yeah it must be nice!”

There Just Isn’t Enough Time In A Day – Here’s one that appears quite harmless on the surface. But this kind of negative affirmation will have an enormous impact on your subconscious mind. In this case you are convincing yourself that no matter how hard you work you simply cannot make the right kind of progress.

Again most of us can admit to having heard this from a parent or elder when we were children. Of course these people were not trying to harm us; clearly they have no idea how a few simple words can have a counterproductive effect on them and the people around them.

You Only Have A Few True Friends In Life – Here is yet another example of well-intentioned wisdom imparted to many of us by an elder. But now that we’re having an honest look at things this one is especially grim isn’t it?

Imagine teaching a child to expect only a few ‘real friends’ over the course of an entire lifetime! I know many, many people who still buy into this ideal as adults and to be honest I accepted it myself for a long time.

True Love Is Hard To Find – Here’s an example of a sentiment implanted by the popular media, from broadcast radio to sitcoms and movies. And a quick glance at our mainstream society will prove this myth is hugely accepted by many, many people.

The first step in getting clear of your subconscious, negative beliefs is to identify them. Spend some time writing down all the casual limiting beliefs you hold and express with sayings like the ones above. Then start to catch yourself thinking like this during your daily life and replace these limiting thoughts with abundant ones.

Do this and you’ll soon be on the way to changing your life!
