Successful, verging on miraculous! My husband bought me the "talking-book" version of The Secret a couple of Christmases ago. Although we were generally happy with our lives, there were some things that hadn't worked out the way we'd hoped. The biggest of these, our apparent inability - after 8 years of trying - to have a family together. I even wrote a book - Pink for a Girl - about our experience of unexplained infertility. After listening to "The Secret" several times, I decided to take action. In the back of my journal, I wrote down a number of things that I wanted to happen in 2008. And, of course, one of the things that I included was "to give birth to a happy, healthy, perfect child". And....? Less than a year later, I gave birth to our happy, healthy & perfect daughter. Yay! … my own, personal experience of the law of attraction? Successful, verging on miraculous!

What you think you don't want, you get" It's only recently that I began to really get what he meant. The idea that thought is creative goes back to the earliest religious texts. Funny how it seems that only now is the full meaning of the power of this concept beginning to seep into the public consciousness.

All in all, it just made me more anxious and gave me an underlying message that if things were going wrong, it was probably my fault. Not very nice really.

Very often I have to say to myself `get out of the way and just let it be'. Don't try to figure it just go with what is your hearts desire - and don't worry about the hows. Incidentally this is my first visit to your Blog Fiona - it is aesthetically the most beautiful blog I have seen - I love the colours - and it's so full of great sound sense. Marks out of 10? 14! Mind you I would expect nothing less. Hi Fiona

Because law of attraction knows you love to share, so it will give you more. Thanks for sharing, you all are so kind. Suddenly, I’ve a idea, that’s you share more, and you will get more.

I have found the book the Secret fantastic for bringing a metaphysical understanding of life to so many people who were not previously open to these concepts. However, where it fell down was totally ignoring the 'How to' section. Merely thinking about what we want and knowing how the law of attraction works is not enough to manifest our desire, I spent years there myself. What the Secret describes seems to be the 2nd or 3rd stage of the manifestation process. The first step, where the real work takes place, is about bringing our limiting beliefs/conditioning to the surface and consciously reshaping our belief system to our adult selves, so that we can actually ALLOW ourselves to have what we say we most desire. If we fail to undertake this phase, essentially we are neutralising a positive (external talk) with a negative (internal/subconscious talk) which manifests, yes, NIL, NADA, NOTHING. Only from uncovering our internal programming and consciously reworking it, is when real change can occur or at least how I have experienced true change. The Secret and so many people, who obviously resonate with these concepts, seem to miss this altogether. It’s the old cliché of talking the talk, but the vibration doesn't measure up, so no major results are achieved. I have learnt through experience, that the vibration is always the truth, talk truly is cheap, but so many fear doing the real work, they desperately want to believe their own talk to allow them to continue avoiding it. What seems to be my learning theme of the past few months, is you can understand something logically, you can be a rational 'expert' on a subject, but that doesn't mean you have even begun applying it to yourself. Look for the evidence in your life supporting your application, if the evidence stacks up you're on your way, if it doesn't, look deeper, that’s the red flag to show there’s much more in the subconscious to bring into the light before you can truly allow yourself have whatever it is you desire. I have found positive affirmation subliminal CDs and NLP CDs, excellent in conjunction with coaching to help me bring my own and my clients limiting beliefs to the surface and re-structure my whole belief system and self-talk.
