Reading the Secret by Rhonda Byrne

Everyone is familiar with The Secret by Rhonda Bryne when it comes to the law of attraction. So far I have read pretty much all of them and am currently on her latest book "The secret to love, money and health".

Being on the spiritual path that I am on... I am familiar with our thoughts being strong enough to manifest what we need. Regardless, this was the book that I needed! It's a good reminder to be grateful for all the things in your life, things that you would normally bypass.

I have always seen the book in the local stores but never really thought to pick one up. It wasn't until my sister and I had a conversation about changing our lives to a more positive outcome. She suggested that I should give the book a go at reading. The funny thing is that she never read it herself but got told about how much it had changed other people's lives.  

Around this time, we had recently lost our Mum and both of us were feeling very lost. Stricken with grief, I was up for doing anything that would uplift me. So I paid for a copy of the secret online and told my partner. My partner is on a somewhat similar path to me was very familiar with the secret and agreed that it would be something that would benefit me. I wasn't aware that the book was just based on a film that Rhonda made. While waiting for the book to arrive, I found the film available to stream.

Watching all those amazing people on the screen such as Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols and Bob Doyle (among many more) inspired me to look at what I am doing in my life and to make the changes that were needed to go forward. It allowed me to see in myself all the small things that I was actually very grateful for. I was once so involved with my grief and pain that I couldn't see anything else past it. By doing this, I was attracting more pain and more grief into my life. I decided to let go and process it in a more healthy way.

Being Wiccan and reading this book made me see my Mum's passing in a better light. I am grateful to have had the Mum that I did and to share all the amazing memories with her. Also from my Wiccan perspective, it meant that her passing was NOT the end but only another chapter for her and for me. Death is not the end but only another beginning, I am sure that one day I will see her again. For now, she lives in me and will always be a big part of me and that is something to be extremely proud of.

Reading books such as these create some type of awareness in us. Awareness of how strong our minds can be. Whatever feeling you are getting is being manifested by thoughts that you create, this sets out the foundation of how you make your day. If I am thinking about money and about how little of it I may have, it will set certain emotions of worry, doubt and anxiety. Being on this frequency, I have now set off other frequencies that will have to match. The next thing I know, I get an email telling me that my water bill is overdue. By bringing in this awareness, you can set your day with how you want it to be! Change the doom and gloom. Other than having the day that you would normally dread, bring in the more positive vibrations into your day. See the things that you are grateful for and FEEL IT! You will start to see the changes in your day-to-day life.  

I can appreciate Rhonda's second book "The Power" but it didn't give the same impact as her original. I do love how she brought out "The Magic" which is a one-month process of bringing the law of attraction into your life. This is something that I would fully recommend. Each day you will be doing something different and will give you a routine with it.

The next book that stood out for me was "The Greatest Secret". This was a whole new different level of what people should be bringing into their lives. Prior to reading this book, I had been watching other inspirational speakers online such as Dr Wayne Dyer and Sadhguru. These are two amazing people who speak a lot about being aware. Awareness that we are beyond our bodies but something more than this.

I say awareness a lot as it's the keyword that you need to understand reading this book. Being aware that everything that you see around you, including the people in and out of your life, is somewhat connected.   The life that we are currently living is just an experience that we take with us into the next. So when you think of it like this... it makes you wonder why are we all always taking on the worry and the stress when we shouldn't have to. Enjoy what you have! Let go of all the programming that has been on you while growing up.

After all, the TRUE SELF is not experiencing it... it's the body. The body is just a host to hold your true awareness. You might even call this your soul. This is just a small part of what the book teaches you, but it is something that I would recommend you read.

In conclusion, the law of attraction is a good starting point for people who are going through their awakening process. Please just bare in mind that the law of attraction is just a small part of what you will learn through your spiritual path. There is so much out there for you to learn, but bringing the law of attraction into your lives, it will make the process easier for you.  We all go through challenges in life because it is how we grow, it is also what we may attract into our lives. Rhonda's books and her film are a good starting point for you to become aware of the law of attraction and I would recommend them. The people who are involved also have their own books and videos out there for you to explore. I will be writing a small review of Rhonda's latest book, as soon as I have finished it.

I love reading the secret by Rhonda Byrnes, the knowledge of the law of attraction has changed my life in so many ways. Here is a blog on some of my views and something people should bear in mind while doing their own work on the law of attraction.

Some of my earlier work, it’s nice to look back at some earlier work to see how far I have come. The Predator and The Xenomorph

I really loved to draw this piece of Michael Myers. I began drawing this not long after watching Halloween ends.

Top tip for the day:

For those who overthink and over contemplate things...

When thinking of your past... LEARN AND REFLECT, don't dwell and dont' make yourself out to be a bad person because of past actions.

When thinking of your future... what do you want to achieve? Action them!

DON'T over do it and don't expect too much of yourself and don't compare yourself to someone else.

Most important... LIVE IN THE NOW... whatever actions you did in your past and whatever you chose to do next is up to whatever you do now. This moment right now is yours! Life is hard and it comes with difficult decisions. But it is only as hard as what you make it to be... be brave and take that next step. We are are all unique. Smile and cherish what you have got.
