The Secret to the Secret to the Secret
Sit down. I am about to tell you the real secret of having, doing, or being anything you want in your life.
While all of the concepts in the movie “The Secret” are important, and while it is important to use our cd to program your subconscious mind, there’s something that you have to figure out on a conscious level before any of it will really work. I’m totally clear now after dealing with something I’ve been struggling with for weeks. That is figuring out what I really want. I now know that it is NOT important to me to be a famous speaker who speaks to people all over the world. It is NOT important to me to be rich. It’s okay if those things are important to you, and I believe it is what is important to YOU that will completely transform your ability to put the Law of Attraction to its best use AND finally make it work for you the way you dreamed it would when you first heard about it.
First I had to figure out what turned me on. I know that if it turns me on, it’s right for me. If it’s right for me, I am energetically compatible with it. If I’m energetically compatible with it, I can draw it to me easily. I hope I’m not blowing hot air here because I’m about to completely change my visualizations and I’ll keep you up to date as to how they are working out for me.
Here is what turns me on:
Feeling like I’m bringing value to someone. When someone tells me that I have helped them in some way, I get this fluttery, happy, complete feeling. Hard to describe, but definitely turned on.
Feeling like I’m contributing financially to my family in a appreciable way which takes the burden off of my husband and makes me feel useful and worthwhile. I get this full, happy, feeling in my chest and belly – a little like a tickle, yet deep. Again, hard to describe, but definitely turned on.
Feeling like my time here on earth is valuable. That I’m not just taking up space, but that when I get to the end of my life, I will feel complete without regrets. I probably should think more about how I’ve helped people throughout my life, because I’m pretty sure I’ve helped a lot of people! That’s a light feeling, happy, and joyful.
The thought of being really, wildly, successful at something. I really like feeling proud of myself, and that would make me feel proud. I’d love to have some bragging rights. I’d love to tell my mother-in-law that we were number 1 on Amazon. Yep, that would turn me on. Hey! I’m just being honest!
See, the thing was that I was working very hard (in my mind) to get away from a feeling of being inadequate (which of course, made me feel more inadequate – don’t think about what you don’t want, remember?), when the reality is that I am great and so is my life. Pondering how very great my life is is where the power comes in. Whether you call it gratitude, appreciation, or anything else, feeling happy for your life’s circumstances will bring your more reasons to be happy; like attracting like.
So in my day-to-day experience, I plan on paying attention to how wonderful my life already is, which it really, really is! And when I’m visualizing my desires, I plan on meditating on all of the things that turn me on (see above), and let’s see what happens.
And when I am visualizing my wants and desires, I will think about what turns me on, get that feeling going, and watch as more of it flows right to me. Then, as I’m listening to our cd, and during the subliminal section, I will let it go, feel peace, acceptance, and positive expectation, and feel happy, peaceful, and content for all of my blessings right now. And I will watch as the magic is sure to unfold.
And don’t forget to thank me for reminding you to do this. Why? That would really turn me on.

Segment Intending
Hi, I have to admit, after the shooting in Virgina, I really had a "Dark Night of the Soul." I thought "could those people have attracted being shot and killed, and could all of the people who lost their friends have attracted that - losing their friends? I must admit that I began to question the Law of Attraction. I have even answered that question from time to time when people have asked me if the people who died in 9-11 attracted it. My answer was that the people who wanted them dead had a very strong desire, and the people that died, were attracting by default. Plus, as my partner, Kent Ogletree, pointed out, there are other forces at work in the Universe besides the law of attraction.
Well, be that as it may (I still question the LoA sometimes, which I think is healthy) I did do something today which put me back on track.
I am the President of our local BNI (Business Networking International - www.bni.com - group). On my way to my meeting this morning at 6:30am, I intended that our meeting would be fun, and that something during the meeting would reinspire me. Two things happened.
As you can see, our group meets very early. The meeting starts at 7:15. So sometimes folks are a little sleepy. Usually it is very nice, though, and our meetings are enjoyable. But this morning, we laughed many, many, many times, and foks had a great time! I even received a phone call from my Secretary-Treasurer saying how fun and great the meeting was! I also heard from one of our members who said that she is loving our cd, and that lots of good things are happening for her.
So, happily, I was reinspired.
I can't pretend to understand all of the laws of the universe, but I can do experiments to test the Law of Attraction. When they work, I am so happy. Because that means my life is on the right path.

Captain's Log, Stardate 16, April, 2007
Today I did something called "Segment Intending." That's where you visualize what you want to happen for the next portion of your day. It was a really busy day. I started with a walk with my dog and my good friend Donna, then I went to pick up more CDs, then I went to the Post Office. I Segment Intended for my drive to be safe and quick, and when I got to the Post Office there would be two people in line in front of me. Well, it was kind of funny because I forgot that it was April 16, 2007 (Tax Day, or at least the day before it!) Fortunately, I didn't think of that, because I would have talked myself out of the possibility of there just being two people in line! It was funny. The regular line was very long, but there were three people waiting in the self-serve line, so I decided to ship it that way. Then the neat thing happened. The third person said, "oh, I'm not waiting." Voila! Only two people in the line!!! However, the person in front of me took a reallllllllly long time. I forgot to intend that the people in my short line would be fast!!! So, it just reminded me to be specific when intending!
I've got to admit, I screwed up listening to my cd. I could tell you that I was too busy, blah, blah, blah, and I WAS very busy. My day was constant go go go until 8pm, but that's really no excuse. Being disciplined has never been my forte in life. I basically do whatever feels good at the time, and I rarely, if ever, force myself to do anything. I like it that way. But I did have an agreement with my partner, Kent, so I will start over tomorrow to listen for my 21 days.
I did get a cool email from one of our test subjects on her results. Here it is with my response to her:
Stephanie, I had an opportunity to totally redo my kitchen and bathroom. It has taken 11 weeks and still is not done . . . but the tearing apart and the constant decision making, the too chatty workmen, the irregular eating, the tumult created all kinds of chaos within. Almost an identity crisis too! I hadn't had to make decisions like this before! I found the CD an oasis of calm for me daily. I listened as much as I could . . . somedays the chatty workmen came way too early and I wasn't able to listen til later in the day.
My whole life, I have played small. Little, sweet Brenda. Afraid to be too much more than that. I am a relatively successful psychotherapist who does mostly managed care right now. I give presentations and the attendees respond very favorably to my openness, exuberance and warmth. But still . . . the nagging voice, "Who do you think you are?" I now totally believe that I am a wonderful, creative psychotherapist with life-altering tools at my disposal such as EFT and Hypnotherapy. I also am beginning to believe that I deserve abundance.
So, in spite of the tumult around me . . . here are a few interesting happenings. I gave two"better than ever" presentations that got rave reviews. Phone calls but no clients as of yet . . . I attracted a local EFT group here in Michigan with wonderful like-minded people doing amazing things!!! They all support and market each other. One woman has a practice very close to my house and offered me office space! I found a perfect affordable coach who will be able to help me improve my web presence and build a virtual business. She happens to be local too. I can now visualize myself working more in congruence with my true self (rather than managed care). I have also been dabbling in various art forms and use that with my clients too . . . finding it a wonderful way to access the right brain. I had taught EFT at a local community center that is very popular in the area but have taught for a few years and the sign-ups are getting less. I approached the director about entitling the fall class, "Using EFT to Unlock the Secret". She wants me to write a description and is very excited about it. So, that is my story! Thank you for the opportunity to live "The Secret". I feel that I will get even better results as the house gets back in order. But, I truly believe it is all in perfect order! Warmly,Brenda
Dear Brenda, I'm very, very happy to hear that you have finally figured out how wonderful you are, and I'm glad you are starting to play "bigger!" Congrats on your workshops and other cool "happenings." Do you know what I would do? I would visualize exactly how I want the rest of my kitchen renovation to go. I would imagine the workmen being quiet and considerate, finishing up quickly, and being very neat and anything else you want! Imagine the whole thing going exactly like you want it to (using all your senses), and do this for several nights in a row, and then let me know what happens.
Hugs, Steph

21-Day LoA Diary, Day 2, April 14, 2007
Captain’s Log – Stardate 15 April, 2007
A couple of cool things happened today. An affiliate signed up that I didn’t even court! I did respond to a blog posting of hers, and I guess she must have gone to the website to listen to the first track and liked it, because yesterday she signed up. Wonderful!
Also, I received the following email from a friend who faithfully used our cd. I’m so happy for her that her life is back on track!
Dear Steph -
Wait till you hear this...
I listened every day for about 30 days and then about three times a week up until now. Overall, my entire life is much happier. Starting the day with a big smile on my face really makes a difference.
Now for specifics... well maybe not too specific! After a long career in corporate America, I went into a business with a friend in 97 and closed that business in 2002 after he was charged and convicted of a major crime. The victim of the crime was coming against the business as it had taken place on the premises. My life savings and retirement fund were gone... I knew I had done nothing wrong and just couldn't shake the feeling that my life was over and that everything I touched somehow came out wrong.
I opened my hypnosis practice in 2002 and while a part of me knew I was really good at it, I brought in a minimal amount of clients and just put one foot in front of another. I could help people but seemingly not myself. In 2005 I read "Ask and It Is Given" and began to slowly come back to life. I went to an all day seminar with Jerry & Ester Hicks in November and watched "The Secret" for the first time shortly thereafter. My life began to change but I was having a hard time "holding on" to the principles put forth in the movie. My pesky subconscious kept saying..."Yeah, right. You'll screw this up, too." Then came your audio... and the pesky SC left!
Now for the rest of the story... I was driving a 98 Taurus that had suffered major damage during Hurricane Jeanne in 04 and had come to me by way of inheritance from my mother. (Much about this situation annoyed me, but that is another discussion!) The insurance company had wanted to total the car after the storm but mother would not allow that and even though it is very low mileage, it has begun to have many storm/water related issues at this stage of its life. The old me thought that I really didn't deserve a better car and since I really drive very little, it was not that important and after all I am on the one tank per month program , so this would do... no point putting out money, better save what little the universe was sending me!
Now, starting after I read "Ask and It Is Given" my business picked up and after your audio I am really bringing in clients, so, knowing that this car is failing I began to sporadically look for another. But I just could not find anything that I felt fit my price range and projected the new image of how I was beginning to feel about me. So I finally put your audio on and during the subliminal interlude I just kept saying over and over to myself, "Universe, you know what is best for me. Send the right car to me". Over & Over. When the audio ended I went about my business, put the issue aside, and had this strong belief that I would figure it out.
Three days later a client told me that she was relocating out of the country and was selling everything she owned. Sitting in front of my office was the prettiest little white Mercedes CLK... when I asked what she wanted for it, I almost fainted. Definitely in my price range... about half the blue book value... and EXACTLY what I had allocated for a new car!
I am so happy and grateful now that I have a pretty little white Mercedes sitting in my driveway!!!!
I am so happy and grateful that the universe has sent Steph & Kent into my life!
I am so happy and grateful that I have a wonderful life and can start every day with a smile!
When I got your email yesterday I wasn't sure if I could even tell this tale of woe. I now realize that by putting it down on paper it is completely over. So, if you decide to use this very lonnnnng story please disguise my name!

21-day LoA Diary for Pink Elephant Productions
Today, Kent Ogletree and I (my partner in our cd production company Pink Elephant Productions) begin a diary on how we are using the Law of Attraction to get our message (in the form of our cd package at www.TheSecretToTheSecret.com) to the world. I am grateful that I have such a marvelous partner who believes in our product and wants the world to benefit from it as much as I do. We are in alignment and have very complimentary skills. Our intention is to unravel the true secrets to “The Secret” and to teach the world how to create their own destinies and realities. We feel the movie “The Secret” was a great starting place, but we know that there is more to the picture, and we intend to bring that to the world. What fun!
Our vision statement consists of:
1. Hundreds of orders a day coming in for our cd package.2. Dozens of emails a day coming in from all over the world telling us how great our product is, and how much folks are getting out of it.3. Media sources contacting US because somehow they have seen our blogs and understand that we are REAL teachers of this stuff. They want us on the radio, on television, and they print articles about us in the newspapers and magazines.4. Orders from our affiliates coming in every day, and the excited emails and phone calls from them telling us how the package helped the folks that they referred to us.5. Demand for our workshops, and sold out crowds. 6. At least $500,000 in receipts from all sources by the end of 2007.7. And every step of the way is fun - always inspired action that feels great and brings tons of value to every person that uses it.
We intend to fully utilize the Law of Attraction and our cd every day for 21-days in a row to see what we can accomplish. As we do, we will be sharing our adventure with you by telling you all of the synchronicities that show up for us as we utilize the LoA. We will be telling you all of the steps we took to achieve our goals, but we believe in Inspired Action, so we will not be doing anything that does not feel good, and is not fun in relation to our goals.
Today I listened to our cd at about 11am. After that (while I was still very relaxed from the hypnosis – and only about 10 minutes later), I received a phone call from Yahoo to do ads with them. Is it a sign? Is it one of those synchronicities? I will leave to Kent to decide if this is something that makes sense for us (and feels good). He is the computer guru in our company, and understands internet marketing much more than I. He sent me a link about QVC whom I think we should definitely pitch, and as soon as it feels right, and I am inspired, I will write something about our marvelous package, and pitch it to them.
I’m off to take a nap now. As I drift off, I will be imagining our desires as if they are here right now. And I will feel so happy and grateful that they are on their way.

The Missing Pieces to "The Secret"
The Missing Pieces to “The Secret.”
The premise of “The Secret,” is fantastic. It teaches you that you can create your reality using the power of your thoughts and feelings. Of course, the premise is not new. Throughout history, particularly in the 20th century, these concepts were popularized by Wallace Wattles in “The Science of Getting Rich,” written in 1910, Charles Haanel in “The Master Key System” written in 1917, and of course, probably the most popular and well-known, Napoleon Hill in “Think and Grow Rich,” written in 1937. I should say “the most popular” until now! Rhonda Byrne’s 2006 phenomenal success of “The Secret” has been a run-away best-seller supplanting even the new “Harry Potter” on the New York Times Best-Seller book list. The self-help book is the biggest seller of its kind in history. A great marketing premise, beginning with teaser excerpts on You Tube, and calling it “The Secret” (who doesn’t want to know a secret?), a well-made, feature length slick and exciting docu-drama dvd closed the sale, and has shown (without a doubt) that the Law of Attraction is alive and well in the universe! There is no question in my mind that because everybody involved in the making of “The Secret” was practicing the Law of Attraction, The Secret” teachers have been on “Larry King Live” – twice, “The Ellen Degeneris Show,” and the show of shows for any burgeoning self-help premise, “Oprah” – twice. And not one penny has ever been spent for advertising.
Why is “The Secret” so popular? I believe that it is filling a real need for people at this time in history. Folks have been feeling like they have very little control over their destinies until they see “The Secret.” The consciousness of the world has been less than empowered. The time was ripe for somebody to repackage these ideas and bring them to the fore, and I’m glad “The Secret” people have had such an amazing response. It’s about time! These tools are needed.
One of the most prevalent criticisms of “The Secret” is that it mostly speaks to our abilities to create material wealth for ourselves. What about creating world peace? What about helping folks other than ourselves? Perhaps that information will be in the sequel. Did you know a sequel is on its way? And while I wouldn’t say this is necessarily a criticism, my partner and I have noticed that there are a few missing pieces to “The Secret” that are not overtly dealt with in the film.
One of those pieces is helping folks determine what it is they really want. Desire is a very important piece for receiving that which you desire. People are not aware of their true desires and core values until you begin to talk to them, and dig deeper. The reality is that most people don’t care about being rich, or having a million dollars. They think they do, because they are told they should. What they really want, when you begin to dig deeper, is freedom. They want to be able to do the things they want to do, when they want to do them, without the cloud of bills and the pressures of the workaday world impeding them. And yes, they want to have money to help others, too.
Another missing piece is programming. Unless the concepts from “The Secret” which are somewhat foreign to people, are programmed into their subconscious minds, it will be difficult to utilize the Law of Attraction in the best way possible.
And yet another missing piece is underlying beliefs. If someone believes that they don’t deserve their desires, or that money is evil, or that there isn’t enough to go around in the Universe, or any of a great number of other potential impeding beliefs, these beliefs will impact whether “The Secret” works or not.
And the last missing piece is the constant conscious monitoring of one’s thoughts and feelings. For unless one is in alignment to receive that which they desire by feeling positive, and believing that one’s desires are on their way, not a whole lot will change.
My partner, Kent Ogletree and I, have created a program which addresses all of these missing pieces. We call it “The Secret to ‘The Secret,’ The Law of Attraction in Action.” This includes a cd (to deal with subconscious programming), a workbook (to address the negative underlying beliefs and conscious programming), and an online support group which teaches folks how to determine what they really want, and then the group supports the individual in achieving their desires. Using this program will finally put the Law of Attraction to work in the way it was meant to be.
A testimonial from one of our students:
Without a doubt this is the BEST program that I have experienced on the Law of Attraction. Other programs seem to tell you what needs to be done and why, but fail to provide the means of getting you to your Desired Destination. It is like having a luxury sports car with the gas tank empty, and no gas station in sight. This program not only provides the luxury sports car, but fills the tank and even pushes the gas pedal for you. All you have to do is relax and know where you want to go, and it gives you the means of getting there effortlessly. All you have to do is pay attention to the road.I absolutely Love this program.Paulina Want

The premise of “The Secret,” is fantastic. It teaches you that you can create your reality using the power of your thoughts and feelings. Of course, the premise is not new. Throughout history, particularly in the 20th century, these concepts were popularized by Wallace Wattles in “The Science of Getting Rich,” written in 1910, Charles Haanel in “The Master Key System” written in 1917, and of course, probably the most popular and well-known, Napoleon Hill in “Think and Grow Rich,” written in 1937. I should say “the most popular” until now! Rhonda Byrne’s 2006 phenomenal success of “The Secret” has been a run-away best-seller supplanting even the new “Harry Potter” on the New York Times Best-Seller book list. The self-help book is the biggest seller of its kind in history. A great marketing premise, beginning with teaser excerpts on You Tube, and calling it “The Secret” (who doesn’t want to know a secret?), a well-made, feature length slick and exciting docu-drama dvd closed the sale, and has shown (without a doubt) that the Law of Attraction is alive and well in the universe! There is no question in my mind that because everybody involved in the making of “The Secret” was practicing the Law of Attraction, The Secret” teachers have been on “Larry King Live” – twice, “The Ellen Degeneris Show,” and the show of shows for any burgeoning self-help premise, “Oprah” – twice. And not one penny has ever been spent for advertising.

Boy, This Stuff Really Works!
Hi everybody, I wanted to share my happy news with you. The Law of Attraction is alive and well in Fremont (and Tacoma)! Since Kent and I began this project in December of last year, as you know, the Secret was on Oprah - twice. And of course, Larry King and Ellen. This week two great things plopped in my lap from out of the blue. They came in the guise of clients, but I really think they are angels. One client comes in with "The Secret" all over her paperwork. She's totally excited about it, and wants me to teach her how to best utilize the LoA in her life. I ask her what she does, and she tells me.... drum roll please, she's in P.R.! So guess who is doing a trade? :) She is pitching TSTTS to Oprah and Ellen! Then, a couple of days later, I get a phone call from a gentleman who wants to come and see me. And get this: he has a radio show. So guess who is going to be on the radio tomorrow talking about The Secret to the Secret? And since he really likes me, he already wants me back on the show (even though I haven't even been on it once yet)!!! I'll tell ya'll the next time I'm on, because it will be easier for me to focus if I don't think hundreds of my friends are out there listening. Tap. Tap. Tap.!!!
I'm lovin' it, Steph

The Better it Gets, The Better it Gets
For about twenty years now, off and on, I’ve been studying and utilizing the Law of Attraction in wonderful ways. I have always been a seeker and an asker of questions. This drove my father crazy, and now my husband! Is that true? Why do you say that? What is your thinking behind that statement? I have never taken anything at face value. Particularly concepts that promise you that you can be, do, or have anything you want in your life!
I have studied spiritual teachers beginning with Napoleon Hill in his “Think and Grow Rich” series, then on to the “Seth” series, and now “Abraham-Hicks.” I have read good books (and a lot of bad ones, and some terrible) about the Law of Attraction. Some of my favorite books are “Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting” by Lynn Grabhorn (I’m listening to this in my car again right now), “The Law of Attraction” by Michael Losier, “The Attractor Factor” by Joe Vitale, all of the books by Linda Madden Dahl, and if I’m leaving anybody out, I apologize. I have attended the “What the Bleep” Conference in Pheonix, Arizona, and I am just about to watch “The Quantum Series.”
Because I am a question asker, sometimes using the Law of Attraction in my life takes a back seat because when I start to get negative about it, it stops working. And so of course, I think, oh, this stuff is b.s., I’ll just stop focusing on what I want and feeling it into being. There have been times in my life, too, when I wasn’t sure what I wanted. But I’m sure now, and because of that, things are rolling along really nicely. I believe in the Law of Attraction again. Let me tell you why.
I have known for a long time that my purpose on earth was to help mankind; to be of service. The knowledge that I have helped somebody in a meaningful way is the biggest rush and pleasure for me. I have been incredibly lucky and blessed that since I became a hypnotherapist in 1993, I have been able to practice without having to do anything else to make ends meet. While sitting in my wonderful office, seeing folks one-on-one is fantastic and gratifying, it hasn’t been enough for a while now. I want to help thousands, tens of thousands, maybe millions of people! And in a very meaningful, and long-lasting way.
Way back in 1997, I learned about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). This seemed to be the technique that I could teach to the masses that would change their lives. I attended a workshop in 1998 with Gary Craig and *my* life changed. He made me a director of his e-list, and I began to teach EFT. But remember, I am a question asker, so I thought, hmm, how could I make this technique better!? I created several offshoots of EFT called Whole Life Healing, Mindful Meridian Therapy, and Positive Energy Therapy. I am now an EFT Cousin. If you go to Gary Craig’s website http://www.emofree.com/ you will see me on his cousins page. I started to get offers to teach my techniques around the world. I learned that folks were using my techniques and getting marvelous benefits. When I moved to the east coast in 2002, I found that there was a whole group of people who were fans. This blew my mind!
And then I got scared. There’s a quote that I mentioned at the end of my BNI meeting the other day. As the President of my group, I am in charge of inspirational quotes. The quote was, “Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping,” by Augustus (and Julius) Hare. I started worrying that if I realized my dream of helping many, many people around the world, I would get too busy, I wouldn’t have enough time for myself, I wouldn’t be able to take my afternoon naps, which I love and enjoy so, and also, that I was not up to the task of being a mentor, guide, and teacher. I worried that I would not be able to keep my boundaries sacred. I worried that I would get too famous! Some ascribe this quote to Nelson Mandela, and some to Marianne Williamson, but it really sums up what I was feeling at the time:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God! Your playing small doesn't' serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Doesn’t that just give you chills?! I think most of us can relate to this in one way or another.
I began to pull back on the reins. I wanted the excitement to stop. I was afraid. I was afraid of my light and my potential. And so it stopped. Everything just stopped. The offers to teach in other countries, the excitement that was building for my techniques, the feedback. My life became small once again, and manageable. The Law of Attraction was working very well for me!
But after playing small for a while, I wasn’t happy, and I wasn’t content. I began to reread the Seth books. That’s when I first learned about Linda Madden Dahl’s book, “Beyond the Winning Streak: Using Conscious Creation to Consistently Win at Life.” And once again, I began to utilize the Law of Attraction to change my life for the better. I started teaching again, my client roster filled up, and I still was able to keep my peaceful life, and my naps. I didn’t want it to get too big this time. So I consciously controlled it.
After one and half years, by husband decided that he needed to be back in California, and because I wanted my husband to be happy (I still have co-dependence issues), we left. Landing in Northern California in the Silicon Valley, I had to start all over building my life and my business. We had to find the right home and my husband had to find a job that he liked. We had a lot of conscious creating to do. Things started falling into place, just as they are supposed to when you utilize the Law of Attraction. Within five weeks, he found a great job. At that time, it was a “seller’s market,” but I wasn’t worried, because I was in an LoA groove! “It just so happened” that the realtor hadn’t advertised our property, and so there were very few bidders. The house that we wanted was sold to us over another couple that offered $15,000 more! We had our house. The miracle was, too, that we could afford it!
Fast-forward two years. I’ve built a life, new friends, new activities, my business growing. That old, persistent, nagging desire to do more, to have more, to help more people became stronger than ever. I wrote a statement of intent to the Universe. I wrote it as if I already had it. I said:
“I’m standing in front of a large group of people, perhaps 5,000. The pleasure and excitement are welling within me. I am so grateful to be here, where I can help the beautiful people that I see before me. They are smiling and happy to be here. I am teaching them something that is changing their lives for the better. It is a simple, powerful, easily taught and learned tool. I can feel the love, the appreciation, and the energy. It’s intense, and wonderful. I wonder to myself at how marvelous it is that I am finally able to do what I have come to this earth to do. The roar of the applause flows over me in waves as I say hello to the audience and express my appreciation for them. A hush falls over the crowd, as they wait expectantly for me to give them the keys to the kingdom.”
After I wrote that, and began to visualize and feel it, things started happening. Understand that at that point, I did not know what the tool was going to be! But I expected good things to unfold, and they have. Whoa, have they ever!
I knew that I wanted to have a new male partner for a dual-induction cd that I wanted to create, and I had several criteria for that partner. Recently, I had heard of “The Secret,” movie. I knew what the secret was, and, as you know, had been practicing it for many years. Of course, it was the Law of Attraction. One of the criteria that I asked for in a new partner was that they believed in and utilized the Law of Attraction. In other words, they used it in their every day lives. They walked the walk, and talked the talk. I put the word out to my hypnotherapy network of over 500 people, as well as a couple of other yahoogroups, and I received several responses. But one stood out. The one that stood out had responded to each criteria, answering it with thoughtful and truthful answers. He was the right person for me.
I didn’t know that the subject of that cd was going to be, but after talking it over with my new partner, Kent Ogletree, we decided that we would do one on our favorite subject! The Secret, and the Law of Attraction. At that point, “The Secret” movie had been highlighted on the “Ellen” show, and Larry King, and we felt, at least, in the metaphysical community, it would start to be pretty big. This was in December of last year.
We knew that the missing piece to utilizing the Law of Attraction would be programming, and we were just the people to help with that since we are hypnotherapists. We understood that there would be a lot of excitement about the Secret because of its promises, but just like a great motivational workshop where you come out all pumped up, not many things would change for people’s lives, unless they were programmed on a subconscious level. And they would need tools for dealing with negativity as it came up. We decided to call the cd, “The Secret to the Secret: The Law of Attraction in Action.” We knew that programming IS the secret to “The Secret.”
Because we wanted this cd to be incredibly special, with all the hypnotic bells and whistles, and because we didn’t live in the same state, it took us a while to finish the cd. Since we were both utilizing the power of the Law of Attraction daily, as it turns out, the timing of the release was absolutely perfect! For, since we had started out project, and finished it, “The Secret” people had been on Oprah, not once, but twice! The Secret was now mainstream!!! Almost every person we talked to had heard of it!
We wanted to get it out there in a big way. We wanted to help people who hadn’t utilized the Law of Attraction to their best benefit, and were now homeless. We set up a pilot project where we will be teaching homeless people who want to change, and believe they can using these principals and tools. I will blog more on that as things unfold.
We created a website: http://www.thesecrettothesecret.com/ where we share a great Workbook that anybody can utilize to help them with the Law of Attraction. And of course, our cd became available. I have never been more proud of any accomplishment that I am of this cd.
As I look back, I can see that I learned EFT so that I could help people get out of their own way to utilize these tools. It is the best and most wonderful tool for helping folks release non-serving beliefs about their ability to create the life that they desire. What a gift.
Then, a few days after the cd came out, a new client came to see me. On her intake form, she mentioned “The Secret” many, many times. I asked her what she did for a living, and she told me, “I’m in P.R.” I’m sure you could understand the chills and excitement that I reigned in because she then said, “but, I want to get out of it.” Nothing was mentioned until the end of the session when I told her about the cd, which I was going to burn a copy of for her, and like a bolt of lightning from the heavens it hit her, she wanted to help us get the word out! I didn’t have to struggle or move heaven and earth to make this happen. Because my vision was clear, and I was vibrating in a very lovely, positive way (and so was she), she found me! We are both incredibly excited about the potential for both the cd, and teaching this to the homeless, and to folks all over the world.
I believe that I have finally found my calling. My calling is to teach “The Secret” and “The Secret to the Secret.” It works for everything one could possibly want to change or improve in one’s life. Esther Hicks has a saying that represents my life right now while I am living the Law. The saying is, “The Better it Gets, The Better it Gets.” How true.
I have studied spiritual teachers beginning with Napoleon Hill in his “Think and Grow Rich” series, then on to the “Seth” series, and now “Abraham-Hicks.” I have read good books (and a lot of bad ones, and some terrible) about the Law of Attraction. Some of my favorite books are “Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting” by Lynn Grabhorn (I’m listening to this in my car again right now), “The Law of Attraction” by Michael Losier, “The Attractor Factor” by Joe Vitale, all of the books by Linda Madden Dahl, and if I’m leaving anybody out, I apologize.

We created a website: http://www.thesecrettothesecret.com/ where we share a great Workbook that anybody can utilize to help them with the Law of Attraction. And of course, our cd became available. I have never been more proud of any accomplishment that I am of this cd.
As I look back, I can see that I learned EFT so that I could help people get out of their own way to utilize these tools. It is the best and most wonderful tool for helping folks release non-serving beliefs about their ability to create the life that they desire. What a gift.
Then, a few days after the cd came out, a new client came to see me. On her intake form, she mentioned “The Secret” many, many times. I asked her what she did for a living, and she told me, “I’m in P.R.” I’m sure you could understand the chills and excitement that I reigned in because she then said, “but, I want to get out of it.” Nothing was mentioned until the end of the session when I told her about the cd, which I was going to burn a copy of for her, and like a bolt of lightning from the heavens it hit her, she wanted to help us get the word out! I didn’t have to struggle or move heaven and earth to make this happen. Because my vision was clear, and I was vibrating in a very lovely, positive way (and so was she), she found me! We are both incredibly excited about the potential for both the cd, and teaching this to the homeless, and to folks all over the world.
I believe that I have finally found my calling. My calling is to teach “The Secret” and “The Secret to the Secret.” It works for everything one could possibly want to change or improve in one’s life. Esther Hicks has a saying that represents my life right now while I am living the Law. The saying is, “The Better it Gets, The Better it Gets.” How true.
