Following is a link to the Niyama Dhammas in [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niyama). Following is a translation from [Pali Sources](http://www.jayarava.org/texts/the-five-Fold-niyama.pdf). Also this is a text by [Ledi Sayadaw called "THE NIYAMA-DIPANI: The Manual of Cosmic Order"](http://mahajana.net/texts/kopia_lokalna/MANUAL04.html).

If you have the power of deep [Jhana](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhy%C4%81na_in_Buddhism) and make a strong [determination](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhi%E1%B9%AD%E1%B9%ADh%C4%81na) (which is part of the [perfections](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%81ramit%C4%81)) then there is a possibility that the something similar desired outcome materialises based on the power of your mind (depending how deep the absorption [Samadhi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samadhi_(Buddhism)) is). This can be done to a more limited extent without Samadhi also as this moment influences the next as per [Dependent Origination](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prat%C4%ABtyasamutp%C4%81da).

But this is not recommended as this may generate bad [Kamma](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_in_Buddhism) as this practice can lead to covetousness. See [Kammapatha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kammapatha). Also such use of Samadhi will not be [Samma Samashi](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dhamma/sacca/sacca4/samma-samadhi/).

Matter of clarification, these are two concepts but there are much similarities.

I hope this helps. Comment if you want more information.
