The 4 practical steps to enact the laws of attractions... and background info on quantum mechanics

Wiki Overview of the Law of Attraction and 4 practical steps to make it happen
The Law of Attraction claims to have roots in Quantum Physics. According to proponents of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of. In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things:

  1. Know exactly what you want. 
  2. Ask the universe for it. 
  3. Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is already yours (visualize). 
  4. Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome. 
Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the universe will manifest a person's desires.

See Quantum mind/body problem#Consciousness Causes Collapse - as quoted below:

Quantum mind/body problem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The quantum mind/body problem refers to the philosophical discussions of the mind/body problem in the context of quantum mechanics. Since quantum mechanics involves quantum superpositions, which are not perceived by observers, quantum mechanics apparently places observers in a special position.

The founders of quantum mechanics debated the role of the observer, and of them, Pauli and Heisenberg believed that it was the observer that produced collapse. This point of view, which was never fully endorsed by Bohr, was denounced as mystical and anti-scientific by Einstein. Pauli accepted the term, and described quantum mechanics as lucid mysticism.[1]

Unlike Heisenberg and Bohr, who always described quantum mechanics in logical positivist terms, Hugh Everett took the wavefunction of quantum mechanics as a real description of the world. In the many-worlds interpretation, the memories of the observer splits at every measurement, leading to the subjective appearance of collapse.

This observation was separated from many-worlds interpretation by Wigner, who proposed that the consciousness of the observer is what causes collapse of the wavefunction, independent of any realist philosophy or splitting observers. Colloquially known as "consciousness causes collapse", this interpretation of quantum mechanics states that observation by a conscious observer is what makes the wave function collapse.

The interpretation identifies the non-linear probabilistic projection transformation which occurs during measurement with the selection of a definite state by a mind from the different possibilities which it could have in a quantum mechanical superposition.
