Understanding Manifestation & How “Like Attracts Like” Actually Works
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt the vibe – without anyone saying a word? Or noticed how being around a negative person seems to drain you, while time with someone joyful lifts your spirits? That’s not just emotional sensitivity at play. That’s resonance.

The idea that everything is energy isn’t just a spiritual or poetic notion – it’s science. And understanding this concept could change the way you see your life, your relationships, and your potential.
Let’s explore how the science of resonance helps us make sense of manifestation, and how you can begin tuning into frequencies that actually align with your vision.
Everything is Energy

At the most fundamental level, everything in the universe is made up of energy. This isn’t a metaphor. Quantum physics shows that even the most solid object is actually a swarm of vibrating particles. What we perceive as matter is really just energy vibrating at a frequency dense enough to be seen or felt.
“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality.”
So where does manifestation come in?
This is where resonance matters. In physics, resonance is the phenomenon where one vibrating system can influence another to start vibrating at the same frequency. You’ve seen this when a singer hits a note that shatters a glass, or when one tuning fork causes another nearby to start vibrating.
The same principle applies to people. Thoughts and emotions also carry frequencies. Feelings like love, gratitude, and joy are high-frequency states, while fear, shame, and anger are low-frequency. When you dwell in high-frequency emotional states, you “tune in” to experiences and people vibrating at similar levels.

A well-known study from the HeartMath Institute showed that the human heart generates an electromagnetic field that can be measured several feet outside the body, and that field changes depending on our emotional state. When we’re in coherence (a state of inner harmony), our brain and heart actually synchronize. This has a powerful effect on our mood, decision-making, and even immune function.
So simply put, that means: the energy you emit attracts similar energy. This is the science behind the Law of Attraction. Manifestation isn’t about wishing for good things to happen. It’s about aligning yourself with the frequencies that support your greater good and higher vision on this planet.
You realize that your thoughts aren’t just fleeting… they’re shaping your reality.
When you begin to see life through the “lens of energy”, your inner world becomes just as important as your outer actions. You can think of your mind like a radio tower, broadcasting thoughts all day long. What station are you tuned into? Doubt and fear? Or possibility and purpose?
How to Apply This Concept in Real Life
Resonance doesn’t mean you can just think happy thoughts and everything will magically appear. But it does mean that what you focus on, feel, and believe starts to shape what you attract and experience.
Visualise clearly. Your brain responds to imagination the same way it does to reality. Create a mental “vibe match” to the life you want.
Start with awareness. Notice what raises or lowers your energy. Some people and habits drain you. Others uplift. Protect your vibe.
Feel it first. Don’t wait to feel good after you get what you want. Feel how it would feel now. That emotion is the frequency.
Practice gratitude daily. Gratitude raises your baseline energy. Start and end your day with one thing you’re thankful for.
Don’t forget…
You can’t control everything that happens around you – but you can control the energy you bring to it. That’s where real power lives.
Your thoughts, your emotions, your focus – these are yours to guide. And when you take responsibility for your inner world, your outer world begins to reflect that clarity.
