Case Study | LA

In 2016, I spent months practicing manifestation, not just dreaming of living in Los Angeles, but truly setting clear intentions and elevating my emotions to feel as if it were already happening. My thoughts and heart were perfectly aligned. I could feel my heart generating magnetic energy and my brain creating an electric force, expanding my energetic aura. The clarity and focus were so intense that I was living in a state of deep coherence.

However, there were practical barriers. I was still finishing my master’s degree in Italy, and housing in LA was expensive. On top of that, I was just starting my journey into the world of startups. But the universe had its own way of aligning things when we truly believe. On New Year's Day 2016, during a flight to Berlin with friends, I found myself sitting next to a woman who told me she had felt my energy before we even spoke. As we spoke, I discovered she was from a wealthy area of Los Angeles. I shared my story with her, and to my surprise, she offered to help. She had connections and had done this before. As a travel agent, she even booked a flight for me and hosted me in her large house in LA while I pursued investors for my startup.

This manifestation came to life exactly as I had envisioned it.

But here’s the catch: once I arrived and settled in LA, I lost that sense of clear intention. My heart and mind began to misalign, and I stopped consciously manifesting. The result was a challenging and rough period—one where my initial alignment faded, and I struggled without that clear, focused energy. But that’s a story for another time.

The key lesson:

When my thoughts and emotions are aligned, the universe responds in ways that seem almost miraculous. But the challenge is maintaining that alignment over the long term, because once the clarity fades, the path can become difficult.
