The Law of Attraction works when you don't even know it




By Catherine Dawson
from Wagga Wagga, Australia

2 years ago, before my husband and i had even watched The Secret, we were driving back to the airport in a little hire car after a short weekend trip. Just for fun we decided to pretend that we were driving in the 4 wheel drive i so desperately wanted and that we were on our way to the international airport for our fist overseas trip, without knowing what we were doing we pretended that all the way and really believed it, my husband said "where are we going" and without thinkink I said "India".
3 weeks later i drove past a car yard and saw a new 4 wheel drive that i loved, we went and test drove it but didn't think that we could afford it, to our surprise, we got much more for the trade in on our old vehicle than we expected and we BOUGHT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE !!!

About 2 months after that my husband got a call to inform him that he was having $10,000.00 deposited into his business bank account for something that we had never expected to be paid for, we went down and paid for our 8 week trip around the world, the last stop being a 2 week stint in INDIA!!!!

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION REALLY DOES WORK.

About a month ago a good friend of ours gave us the DVD of "The Secret", we have watched it every day since, have created a vision boeard of the farm we want to buy and the house that will be on it, and every day it feels more and more like we already have it!!

We are so greatful for the secret and we'll post a picture on here when we move to our farm!

Was I a Money Magnet?




By Park
from Austin, Tx

I'd like to preface my story by saying that I haven't yet seen The Secret. But I think this story will be of interest to anyone who thinks that there is more to life and prosperity than meets the eye.

About 20 years ago I worked for a small sub-division of a very large company. I'll call it Company X. It was my first real job and I worked for them for about 10 years. I left them on good terms and went to school full time to complete my college degree. I had been putting it off for a long time and decided to bite the bullet before I got too "old".

Fast forward to two years ago. I had been laid off from an IT job and was under-employed doing some contract work. I had long ago lost contact with any of my co-workers at Company X and had even had some problems contacting the company for work references. The small sub-division I'd worked at had long ago been closed and employment records had been shuffled around the country during various mergers.

I have been meditating on and off for many years, but I began a steady meditation discipline during that time to try and handle the stress I was feeling. Somewhere I came across a "money meditation" which I included at the end of each day's meditation. It involved imagining that I was a money magnet. As I breathed, I would imagine a large coil running up my spine which glowed brighter as I inhaled. I imagined that the glow spread out into the world and as I exhaled, it would return to me and pull a pile of money back with it. My real inner goal was not to find a pile of money, but find a steady, good paying job.

I did this for about two months and the most money that ever came to me was a stray coin as I walked my dog around the neighborhood. Each time I thanked the universe for the money. Still, began to feel a little foolish. But I had determined that I would do this meditation daily for six months. If nothing happened in that time, I could safely tell myself that I had "tried".

One day I found a letter in my mailbox from "Company X Litigation". It was a generic brochure saying that some kind of lawsuit was happening involving my old employer and I may or may not be a party. At first I was mildly excited by this, but I had received these sorts of class action notices before and had never actually gotten anything from one. Still, I stashed the notice in the back of my filing cabinet.

A few more months passed and I was about to give up on my money magnet meditation. I had pretty much forgotten about the Company X notice. Then I received another actual letter from a law firm saying that I was indeed a party to the litigation and I needed to fill out a form and return it to them to verify my claim. It seemed that, for employees who had left between a narrow set of dates and cashed out their retirement plan, Company X had somehow miscalculated the payout. Now, I had indeed cashed out my $15,000 retirement plan when I left and spent the money on my college tuition years ago.

Based on no concrete numbers I did some quick mental calculations. I figured that if they mis-payed by a couple of hundred dollars, I might be entitled to a thousand or so, accounting for interest over the years. For some reason that seemed to me like a reasonable number. While it wasn't a pile of cash like I had been meditating on, it would still be a nice boost to my finances. I filled out the form and returned it to the law firm.

Another month passed. I determined to continue my money meditation due to the chance of gaining a small windfall. Finally, I found in my mailbox a receipt for a registered letter. I quickly went to the post office and signed for the legal sized envelope. Back in my car I ripped open the top. My mind was racing, wondering if I would get the $1000 dollar figure I had in my head or if I would be disappointed. Before I pulled the letter out of the envelope, I took a deep breath and cautioned myself that it would probably be check for $10. I reminded myself that things never worked out as well as I hoped they would.

I took the letter out of the envelope. It was three pages. I scanned them quickly. The first was an overview of the lawsuit. The second was a bunch of figures showing the number of employees and the amount Company X settled for. Then on the last page I saw a separate section that looked like a bank statement. At the very bottom I found the amount to which I was entitled. It was $32,000!!

Now I can't say for sure that my money meditation during those months brought this money to me. It could be a complete coincidence. Soon after cashing the check I stopped my money meditation. I can't tell you exactly why. I think that I was so struck by my good luck that I felt that continuing would be greedy! But this sequence of events has always stuck in the back of my mind. Did I somehow magnetize that money? I think it might be time to start that meditation again.

$4,ooo in one day, you better believe it




By Dancing Queen
from San Diego, Ca

My friends shared this movie with me, they obviously are dear friends who care. I was choking while I was watching this. Of course, the universe brings you what you need at the right time. I had been praying for our business that this past month was going a bit slow. I saw the movie, and I asked my genie to give me 4,000 on Saturday, now you must know this entire month we have not done more than 3,000 on any particular day. I made my wish and left it at that. I came back on Monday from an out of town trip and guess what, it said we did exactly 4,089.00 on Saturday. Do you see the power, the awesome power of The Secret. I did not even finish watching the movie but stayed positive, focused and visualized and lord, "your wish is my command" came true. I was so excited I called everyone I knew and of course my friends. We have started a creation board as a family with my kids and let me tell you it works... and is working. Believe it and stay with it, that all good things are coming my way. I have $100,000 coming to me in 30 days too. I thank the lord in advance everyday. I see that check made out to me for $100,000. I gratefully accept all the abundance and prosperity of this universe. thank you God

Free Money




By Eneida P.
from Denver, CO

During the part of The Secret where they said, "ask for $25,000 of unexpected income in the next 30 days, or whatever is believable for you..." This was September 28th.
I said, "In 30 days, by October 27th, I want $1,000 of unexpected money to come into my life."
That next week, we got about $300 in bank charges dropped! "Wow" I thought, great start! The next week my mother in law sent us $60 just because! Okay, getting closer. Later that week my husband's grandmother sent us $60 for our birthdays (which are in May and July and this is October already!) I had found approximately $3 on the street from picking up pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. $423 that came into my life without any effort for it! Then, I opened a new bank account and part of their rewards was $77 for opening an account with them! $500!! I was floored.
I've been at my new job for about a month, and as I was leaving for the weekend my boss hands me a card and says, "we've had a good start" and smiled. When I left the building and opened the envelope, there was $400 cash as a gift for me to buy new work clothes on him. $900 total and counting. Today is October 27th, Hey, $100 is still coming my way!
This Secret is so powerful, with just a little effort and focus, anything you want can happen to you. I'm a believer.

Unbelievable results




By Guy C.
from Guelph, Ont.

My wife and I watched The Secret on two occasions so far and we found it just incredible and are working hard every day to make sure that we change our thoughts and protect any thoughts that enter our mind. I think about the movie daily and I make sure that I write in my gratitude journal on a daily basis. This has not always been easy but I try to remain very diligent.
Last week we received in the mail a cheque for $15720. It was not expected but very welcomed. This works and I encourage everyone to watch the movie and watch it several times. You need to change your thinking and your thoughts and you will see that the universe will open up for you.
Thank you for the gift of this movie and my wife and I are very grateful that we came across this wonderful revelation of a simple law.
Million thanks.

Making it yours.




By Leigh
from Washoe Valley, NV

A few years I was getting frustrated with my old computer -- it couldn't take any more upgrades, and wouldn't support Microsoft Word, which was the program most publishers accept submissions in. I went to the store that carried Macs to get a new computer and purchased the smallest notebook they had. While I was there I sat in front of the new iMac and played around. "Some day," I thought, "You will be mine..." I really saw it, sitting on my desk, all sleek and white. A few months later, an Apple store opened up in Reno and I went there for the grand opening. They had forms for a raffle, so I filled one out, thinking, hey, someone's gotta win, right? I figured it was for an iPod or something, and didn't really give it much thought, but I did sit down in front of another iMac, and again I pictured this wonderful computer on my desk at home.

I bet you can guess what happened... I got a phone call a few weeks later saying that I had one the grand prize at the Apple store - A brand new iMac AND a new printer to go with it, AND a digital camera, AND a new Sony videocamera... and oh yeah, an iPod too! This was before I had seen "The Secret," so needless to say, I am blown away to realize that I was doing the visualization. I just figured I got lucky for once, but now I realize that luck is what you make for yourself, with the help of the loving, abundant universe. Thank you so much for sharing The Secret with us.

Been Living it- just didn't know it...





By Nana Too!
from Yuba City, CA

I read the story by Nana... interestingly this is what my grandchildren call me. Her name caught my eye. She talks about how she had been living with the pieces to The Secret but never put the puzzle together. I could have written that story! The most bizarre was a time when I was totally broke and needed some food for my boys. I visualized a loaf of bread, jar of peanut butter, gallon of milk, and some canned goods. NO-ONE knew this. That very day, a stranger gave me a grocery bag filled with every item I visualized and then some. She didn't know "why" but was obeying a strong feeling to do this. She hoped she wasn't insulting me! We agreed it was a miracle. Amazing. Thanks for putting the pieces together... I had an "aha" moment when I watched The Secret and now realize where that miracle came from. From this day on, I am more abundant in everything and my dreams are realized!

Money DOES grow on trees!




By Cynthia
from Colorado

A few days ago I walked around the corner to the fenced dumpster with a bag of trash. On my way back I noticed (as usual) paper trash had blown into our little front area of bushes and perennials, now naturally mulched with several inches of dried leaves that have fallen off the lilac bush and the apple tree that flank each end of the little garden area. I bent over and started picking up pieces of trash, and all of a sudden my eyes did a weird fluttery thing - because I couldn't believe them, I guess! Pieces of trash magically turned into money right before my eyes, and it was as if my eyes did a double take! I reached down and pulled a half-exposed dollar bill out of the leaves, and then looked around, and there were more of them! I started laughing out loud! The thought went through my mind "money DOES grow on trees!" because they were mixed in with the leaves that had fallen from the trees above me! I picked them up and brought them in, it was not a hallucination!

I decided that although this was "only" a few dollars, it was a harbinger! This morning I have received $300 in orders from customers, even though I have NOT BEEN WORKING my job since the end of August. I've worked 80 hours a week for 7-1/2 years, and I took time off to do other things that my job never allowed time for: LIVING. Instead of feeling fear of being deprived of an income because of my choice for time off, I started practicing the Law of Attraction... simply as an expression of, and gratitude for, the abundance that I already have (which once seemed to be very little, now I realize as so much that I had failed to acknowledge). Recognition and gratitude are definitely creating MORE abundance, without my effort.

This is the beginning of having an income AND a life... no more of this "either/or" lie, that was only true when I believed it. Now I believe in LIFE AND ABUNDANCE in all forms, simultaneously. I CAN have it all!

About Cynthia from Colorado:

wife of 35 years, mother of 3 grown sons, grandmother of 4... I grew up programmed that "money doesn't grow on trees", that I have to work very hard for money (which is why I related so strongly to Jack Canfield, who said the same). Have a home based internet business, have worked 80 hours a week for almost 8 years... this is changing for me in a big way now!

The power of intention




By Jennifer S
from Denver, CO

In the past week I've focused on what I don't have - the exact opposite of what the Secret tells you to do! This focus resulted in canceled orders! Today I decided to focus on my intentions and goals, and watched the "Secret to you" and the "Secret to Riches". I printed the secret check and wrote in a small amount I thought was reasonable, $5000. I hung it up where I will see it every day. I came back downstairs to get to work on my laptop and my phone rang. It was someone who was experiencing great results on the product I distribute and she wanted to place an order for more! That shift in my mind made all of the difference, and the shift in my mind came from watching The Secret!!!!

$3,000 supplied by the universe


By Tiann
from Newport News, VA

I printed out the secret check and wrote how much I wanted to receive on 11/13/06.

I am happy and blessed to report that today I received a bonus check for $3000.00. That is $1000 more that I was asking for.

In fact my whole office receive an unexpected bonus based on the length of time we have been employed here. I have only been here 3 months and received $3000. Just imagine what others received.

I also used the visualization tool every day. I have yet to watch The Secret Movie but I did order it today! The possibilities are endless!
