According to Abraham Hicks, you only need 17 seconds of pure thought to ignite your manifestation.
Yes, only 17 seconds!
How does 17 seconds work?
It all comes down to the law of vibration. All matter is energy.
Therefore, activating a thought by keeping it in your mind, raising its vibration emotionally, and having faith that it will come true, you send a link of vibration out there—to the Universe.
Consider holding a thought for 17 seconds like you’re using a laser beam. All the energy and focus are at one single point.
Therefore, the message is so clear that the Universe gets it immediately.
When the message is clear and carries the right vibrations, the Universe will respond immediately.
What’s the Purpose Behind the 17-Second Rule?
The main purpose of this rule is that you allow yourself to think purely for 17 seconds.
Therefore, your desire becomes stronger, and when you maintain a series of 17 seconds, you can do it longer, which will power up your desires even more — making that link to the Universe much stronger.
What makes this an amazing rule to use for the Law of Attraction is that it specifies a specific amount of time you should focus on your desire.
If you can do this once a day, then you can go on about your day and let go of the attachment to the desire. In turn, you will be in perfect alignment.
This is perfect for people who have a difficult time letting go of their desires.
Use the 17-second rule by working through it in your head, speaking aloud two yourself or to someone else, or writing it down.
Keep in mind: Never contradict this thought during that specific amount of time.
A Guide to Using the 17-Second Rule
Here’s a simple guide to follow the 17-second rule:
- Conjure a happy memory or good feeling. Get into a positive headspace and into a higher vibration. Recall a happy memory to bring about a good feeling.
- Set a timer for 17 seconds.
- Choose one thing that you really want and manifest it.
Make sure to not be distracted for 17 seconds.
Is 17 Seconds Enough?
The answer to this is… yes AND no.
Abraham Hicks said that 17 seconds is known as the combustion point.
That means, after 17 seconds of pure thought, you will attract another thought of similar vibration.
Moreover, he said that it actually takes 68 seconds of pure thought to bring your manifestations into reality.
With that, you need at least FOUR Pure Thoughts of similar vibration held one after the other to manifest.
Are you ready to give the 17-second rule a shot?
There’s nothing to lose, anyway!
Abraham is a “they”. It’s weird to read a “he”. Doesn’t vibrate with what Abraham is. Even not in a matter of speaking. Just saying.
Secondly, desire creates. You start with a thought, juice it up and FEEL it. That is always received. There’s no need to “ vibrationally raise” a thought when your desire is the signal that will do the job.
Your article reads easy and fast but for a true deliberate creator it’s skipping over the water like a well thrown stone. Feeling on the heel of thought is where the power of creation lies.
And “similar vibration” is confusing too. If one cares to be a deliberate creator one tunes in to one’s NonPhysical essence, the part that’s our true self, our larger self that we are a physical extension of. Once we are tuned in and we consistently close the gap between our “here and now” vibrations and our NonPhysical Source Energy we don’t need to be counting, we just think a desire, feel it thoroughly, viscerally, get that juice flowing, (you can’t help but smile when you do that) and stay turned on and tapped in with an ear to the ground as Abraham says. Listen to your Guidance System! Live in that proximity with Source Energy and when not, just gently and easy dip back in through meditation and whatever feels good to think about and reach for. A well practiced vibration becomes a lifestyle which will be much more fun than a instant jello approach through holding thoughts and counting.

Hi Cappi
Thank you for sharing your viewpoint. It is always lovely to hear methods or knowledge that others have acquired on their personal journeys.
I think the key here Cappi in what Alexander is sharing and the information he so generously and sacrificially shares regularly in this community is that we are all on different journeys and at different points of skill within our journeys.
Alexander continues to selflessly serve this community with tips and learnings to help support people discover the best version of themselves to enjoy their best life. I am one individual who greatly appreciates what Alexander shares and regardless of how mature you may be on your journey Cappi, life has a way of moving you in directions you don’t always see coming, so we quite often need new tools and new perspectives to help ignite our next steps.
Thankyou Alexander for all you continue to be, do and share…
Your friend and advocate
