Howdy Folks and Good Day!


There’s been a lot of talk about The Secret in the press lately… Some people are praising it, others begrudge it, and others simply dismiss it.  I personally think it’s awesome that Rhonda Byrne had the vision and the drive to put it all together and enlist some great people to participate in the project.  (With my husband Mark being an editor, I know what all goes into something like that… Let’s just say it’s quite an ordeal and could literally take years!)

How many of us would have the passion, desire, gumption, drive, persistence and faith to produce a documentary designed to help the world become a better place? 

(If you have done so already, please let me know so we can share it with our readers!)

Dreams and goals are important to have… and any positive tool which can help us bring dreams out of the realm of mind and Spirit and into reality is worth looking into!  Especially when it is made accessible to all.

For those of you who haven’t seen it, The Secret is all about The Law of Attraction.  Our thoughts and feelings create our world. “Energy goes where attention flows.” Anyone who has studied basic spiritual principles or the “universal laws” knows this.  Anyone who has had much success in life knows this! 

The trouble is a lot of folks who haven’t had success don’t know it.  And that’s why The Secret is so awesome… because it brings the concept to a mass audience and those who really need it.

Our world needs more people who know how to believe in their dreams – especially in the dreams of world peace, love, harmony, health, joy and prosperity.  We need people who not only believe in their dreams, but know how to make them happen!  The more people who can visualize, put their energy and faith into their vision, and manifest it in real life, the better!

Some religious leaders have claimed The Secret  is just another pop-culture pseudo spirituality. Neither the movie nor the book is designed to replace religion.  In fact, The Secret teaches one of the basic foundations of almost every religion… “What you give out comes back to you.”  No matter what your religious beliefs, you can utilize the Law of Attraction to your benefit.  (It’s working all the time anyway, it might as well be on your behalf!)

A lot of folks are saying The Secret is no secret.  And they’re right.  It’s universal knowledge that was even written about in Ancient Babylonia, one of the most prosperous regions of all time.  The fact that it’s still being applied and studied should tell us something!  But how many folks would have been interested in it if they called the movie The Really Old Law of Attraction? 

Yes, they’ve done a great job at marketing and have put together some wonderful products.  I love the fact that it’s available in DVD, book and audio format!  I saw the video through Spiritual Cinema Circle and decided to get the book because I liked a lot of the quotes featured in the movie.  I personally enjoy the book more because I absorb more when I read than when I hear something. 

I’ve been reading a chapter every morning and have noticed an improvement in my energy and my moods.  It’s not that I don’t already know this stuff!  Trust me, I do!  But just like our bodies need food and water on a daily basis this is another great source of nutrition for mind and Spirit… which in turn actually nourishes our bodies, too.

I’m sure we can all find arguments against The Secret – or anything else in life for that matter.  But I’d rather share what worked for me about it.  And I encourage you to do the same.  Take what works and leave the rest.  That’s how we learn and grow.  We try out what we learned and if we get good results, we keep doing it.  If we don’t, we let it ago and try a different way. 

Learning the basic spiritual truths has helped me create a life I cherish and feel privileged to live.  I can honestly say I am blessed beyond what I imagined possible when I first started out on my own.  The Secret gives great examples of how to put the spiritual truth of Attraction into action.  Yes, it shows material gains, but it also shows how we can apply it to our health, relationships, and other areas of our lives.  Maybe it will be just what you’re looking for.   Or maybe not.  But if it can help you create the life of your dreams, it’s at least worth looking into.

If you don’t want to pay for the DVD, book or audio versions, and don’t know someone who will lend you their copy, you can watch an on-line version of it for only $4.95 on their official website.  Visit http://www.thesecret.tv/.  It doesn’t get much easier than that!

If you’ve personally had a positive experience either with The Secret or using The Law of Attraction or other manifesting techniques, and would like to share them in SFPNN, please e-mail me by replying to today’s issue.  I’d love to hear your story!  And our readers will, too!

With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

You will be able to enjoy and feel the frequency of the healing bowls reverberating around your body.  The soothing sounds release stress as well as bring about a balanced equilibrium.

Side effects may include: a feeling a blissfulness, relaxation, being in the NOW, balance within your energy field, uplifted spirits, personal well-being, peacefulness, rejuvenation, greater connection to your higher self, the universe and to the earth, and a renewed sensed of self.

~~About the Group Past-Life Regression Event~~

In this experiential event, Nicole will talk briefly about how to successfully open yourself up to one of your past lives before everyone lays down to experience a PLR for themselves. Past life regressions are 100% safe and one can open their eyes whenever they want to.

Is it real?  Judge for yourself! 

We are taught how to conduct Past Life Regressions at the Hypnotherapy school, not because they advocate it is real, but rather because some very real healings have occurred from visiting a past life when no other method, whether physical (doctors) or mental (general hypnotherapy), worked!

BIOGEMS DEFENDERS HIT NEW MILESTONE

NRDC* BioGems Defenders have now generated more than 9 million messages to elected officials, corporate chiefs and other key decision-makers since the launch of the BioGems Initiative in 2001! In recent months, our activists have waged urgent campaigns in defense of Chile's Patagonia region, the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, California's Channel Islands and other endangered wildlands, [as well as to save the polar bears]. Keep up the fight -- we're almost to 10 million!

A NOTE from the Editor:

*NRDC stands for National Resource Defense Council.  The organization helps to protect fragile or endangered regions and animals on legislative, political, commercial and local levels.  Anyone can participate in protecting wildlife by signing up to receive their e-mail updates.

One of their recent successes was permanently protecting gray whale breeding grounds near Baja, Mexico by purchasing land around the fragile bay area and working with local farmers to ensure industrial commerce would not pollute the waters. 

If you always wished there was a way to make a difference but felt you didn’t have the time or a lot of energy to get involved, this might be the answer!  Visit  http://www.savebiogems.org/

6.      Wednesday WORD — by Diane, The California Dreamer

SHOWING UP

"We spend most of our time wondering when our dream love/home/
job is going to arrive, yet all the time, whatever we want is out there waiting for us to show up and not the other way around." 

— Caroline Reynolds, Spiritual Fitness

I don't think I really understood this until recently.  I fell into that thinking trap of "when I have this” or "when I have that” then I'll be happy.  As I continue with my journey, it is becoming more and more apparent my happiness truly is dependent on me -- and only me. 

I am the one who has the power to make or break my day, week, year and life.  My attitude about what is happening in my life is what colors my world.

I make no secret about how much I love where I live.  I have said many times that my move to Southern California has turned out to be more than I ever thought possible.  I am forever amazed at how beautiful the area is and often am moved to tears with gratitude. 

I also know without a doubt, had I moved here all those years ago when I placed my intention, I would never have appreciated my life as I do today.

This weekend was picture perfect, with dream vacation type of days… bright, warm and sunny.  Despite my good intentions to accomplish many things on my to-do list, I threw the list away and spent a very relaxing easy going three days.  Something inside told me to just go with the flow and take care of myself.  I had to get over the voice in my head telling me I was being lazy.  

Sunday, Jeanette, Mark and I went to the Whale Festival down at the beach.  It was one of the nicest afternoons and we enjoyed watching people and even spotted a whale close to the shore! 

We all laughed when we where driving home and I said that it felt like I was on vacation.  Jeanette and I said it together: "Oh yes, we aren't on vacation, we live here!" 

What a gift it was to realize we all had the same gratitude for our surroundings and the ability to realize all we have in our lives!

Monday was my first official Comp day; I now work an extra hour a day for eight days and then have every other Monday off.  I could not have picked a better day for it.  I went down to the beach again with a new friend and spent four wonderful hours getting my heart and soul recharged soaking in the beauty and listening to the ocean waves.  I couldn't believe it was March 12th and I was sitting on the beach in 80 degree weather getting sunburned.

I also learned of new places to explore that I never even knew were available to me.

 As I look back on my weekend, it is very clear to me all of the things that make me feel alive and happy are just waiting for me to show up.  Many of these things are right before me and when I open my eyes and venture out, I find exactly the right things to make my heart sing.

For what do you tell yourself "when I have_______, I'll be happy"? 

What in your life is right before you just waiting for you to show up?
