THE EDITOR Letter from By Debby Zelman Rapoport A few years ago I published an editorial based on the book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne. Just a few weeks ago, a friend suggested I watch the movie, a documentary that features scientists, authors, entrepreneurs and philosophers who reveal how The Secret had transformed the lives of those who lived it… Plato, Newton, Carnegie, Beethoven, Shakespeare and Einstein, just to name a few. want. Don’t delay, second guess, or doubt your choices. When opportunity, impulse or an intuitive nudge from within is there, act! Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, explains how you should decide what you want, believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it. Believe it’s possible for you. Close your eyes, every day for several minutes and visualize having what you already want and the feelings of already having it. Come out and focus on what you’re grateful for already. Really enjoy it. Then, go on with your day and release it, and the universe will figure out how to manifest. The law of attraction works with relationships, too. Enjoy your own company! How can you expect others to enjoy your company if you can’t enjoy it yourself? Treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. See your own inner beauty. Have a healthy respect for yourself. Visualize and feel what you want in all personal relationships. In health, our body is the product of our thoughts. In medical science, it is being more widely accepted that the nature of our thoughts and emotions actually determines the physical substance of structure and function for our bodies and the human mind is the biggest factor in healing. Disease is described as “dis ease.” Dr. Ben Johnson says if you visualize self-healing and remove physical stress, your body will do what it is designed to do – to regenerate itself. You are the creator of your destiny. Energy flows where attention goes. Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Bliss, joy, love, abundance and prosperity are out there, waiting for you to grab hold of it. When you become intentional, the universe will deliver every single thing you’ve been wanting. The law of attraction is like having a genie in the bottle who says your wish is my command. What you focus on is what you’ll receive. Write down what’s working for you and what’s not. Focus on strengths, and problems fade away. Focus on the weaknesses, and they will multiply. We cannot control other people, no matter how much we try. There is only one person who can be in charge of your joy or bliss. That’s you. As we move into the holiday season, take some time to watch The Secret. It will provide a new perspective on how you can maximize your possibilities and truly make your future as abundant as you would like it to be. I wish you, your family and loved ones a happy, healthy holiday season. What is The Secret? Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or challenge into strength, power, perfect peace, health and abundance. By knowing and living by this premise, everything is possible. Nothing is impossible; there are no limits. Whatever you dream of can be yours. The Secret is the law of attraction. We attract everything in our lives through images we hold in our minds. The Secret is based on magnetism. We are all energy fields, so we attract what we put out. Positive or negative, good or bad, the law of attraction manifests things you think about and will deliver every time. The law of attraction works by our thoughts and our feelings. When we enjoy good feelings, good vibes, excitement, joy, gratitude or love, we draw more of the same into our lives. On the other hand, if we are fearful, angry, anxious or feeling down, more of that will come your way. The law of attraction works on frequencies. If you like what you’re getting, stay on the same channel. If not, do something for yourself to change the frequency! There are three steps to achieving what you want through the law of attraction: Ask, believe and receive. Ask Make a command of the universe and wait for the universe to respond to your thoughts. What do you really want? Sit down, and in present tense, write how you want your life to be in every area. Believe Believe that what you want is already yours and the universe will start to rearrange itself to make it happen for you. Many people haven’t allowed themselves to want what they really want because they can’t see how it would manifest. When your thoughts and feelings are strong enough, you don’t need to know how something will manifest. It will be shown to you. You will attract the way. You’ve got to feel and believe! Receive Think about what you want and feel the way you will feel once it arrives. Feel it now. Feel good. Close your eyes and truly feel you already have it. Be on the correct frequency of what you truly December 2015 n Beachwood Buzz 3
