Rhonda Byrne, The Secret, and Oprah
Hits the Nail on the "Head"

A website about the Law of Attraction would not be complete without a discussion about The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

If Oprah is talking about it, then we should all pay attention.

I mean, look at what Oprah has done with her intentions! The fact that she uses the Law of Attraction in her life should be enough evidence for all of us to believe that this stuff works!

If you haven't yet seen The Secret DVD, I would highly encourage you to pick up a copy of it. If you don't want to buy the DVD, you can simply just view it on your computer for $4.95 at the official Secret website http://www.thesecret.tv.

So, why is The Secret movie such an important piece of media?

Here is my take on this incredible movie:

The Secret clearly and eloquently explains how our thoughts and feelings attract to us our reality – whether that be good or bad.

This movie takes a spiritual concept and puts it into a “sexy”, non-denominational format that appeals to the masses.

The people featured in this movie (some of them well known such as Jack Canfield and Neal Donald Walsh) explain how they personally apply the Law of Attraction with great results, which gives the viewer confidence that the Law of Attraction works.

Complex concepts such as Quantum Physics and the workings of the mind are explained in an easy-to-understand format so that the average layperson can grasp the ideas.

It helps to explain very clearly why people don’t have the things they want in their life, even though they say that they want them – such as wealth, relationships, success, peace. The basic formula for success in life is explained – asking, believing, and receiving.

The concept of feelings and their role in attraction is described, with emphasis on the importance of gratitude for what we already have and what we have created up to this point in our lives.

A personal experience with the movie The Secret

The first time I watched the movie, which aired at my church in the fall of 2006, I was stunned. The opening was almost haunting, fast-paced, suspenseful.

I watched this film, as piece by piece, the most simplest and easiest formula for success in life unfolded before me. It took me a few days to process all the information. My husband and I discussed it excitedly for several days after.

The film so clearly and simply explained to me how important feelings play in the role of attraction. It was the missing link!

As much as I did affirmations daily in the morning and set goals, I realized from watching The Secret that I was in complete disharmony with my feelings and what I wanted.

I now completely and fully understood why some things in my life weren't working, and I had a simple formula to turn it around!

Personally, I have struggled with applying the Law of Attraction in many areas of my life. Some areas, like my career, I have done extremely well. Other areas, such as my marriage, I have not.

Now thanks to the Secret, both my husband and I are finally on the same page about the way we think and feel about each other and our life together.

It is so different now.

How? Well, we both understand at a deep level that we are responsible for how our marriage looks and feels. The more grateful I am for all the positive things my husband contributes to our relationship, the more I appreciate him and that gratitude has rekindled the feelings of love that we had when we first met.

The Secret movie helped us to fill in the gap between what we said we wanted, and what we actually had. It gave us hope by giving us our power back. We now understand that our lives and everything in it are completely within our control, and that is so empowering to us. We now can move forward in our life knowing that we truly can have whatever we want, as long as we are willing to take responsibility for our feelings, words, and actions.
