I have to admit that I feel a little awkward posting on the Faith & Healing board, as I am not a religious individual. Spiritual, yes. Religious, no.
However, a loved one bought me this DVD (or book) which contains information that I think could benefit everyone, especially those of us whose bodies aren't working to their optimum ability.
Recently featured on Oprah, this DVD (or book) will give you a different perspective on life. Perhaps this will resonate with you, perhaps not. However, if this post inspires one person to pick up the DVD (or book) and check it out, and in turn helps them make changes in their life, then it was worth it.
www.thesecret.tv
(DVD and book are sold at most major retailers)
Regardless of religion, faith, race, etc. etc. the principles set forth in this program are universal and scientific and I have seen the principles work in my own life (as I have known about the 'secret' for many years).
Definitely worth checking out!!!! It's all about positive thinking, creative visualization and the things that we attract into our lives.

The Secret is a fantastic DVD! I watched it for the first time recently and will be watching it regularly, it is very powerful. It can be applied to all areas of life, and it reminds us of the impact that our own beliefs and attitudes can have, as well as the impact of higher powers that help to create the things we focus on most in our lives.
Well worth watching

I am reading "The Secret" now. Afterwards I would like to purchase the DVD. I am so glad there are people on here that I can talk to about The Secret. Although I am having a hard time with the whole "Believing & Recieving" part. Could someone help me out with this?
I was told about this the other day - will definitely look into it. I really like anything to do with positive thinking and visualisation. Thanks!

I just started reading this book and already it makes so much sense. The statement that stands out in my mind right now is the part about thinking negatively about something. Most people (myself especially) will contantly think about what they don't want or won't/can't do, instead of thinking about what they want and can do...Very powerful statments that I plan to put into practice.
WOW!! My husband thinks I'm ADDICTED TO THE SECRET! And Law of Attraction stuff.
I'm shocked to find fellow cysters as well are into it too! It is so uplifting!
I have the DVD, the soundtrack (which is basically the DVD on Audio - great for in the car) and the book.
"Every single thing you've been through, Every single moment that
you've come through were all to prepare you for this moment right NOW.
Imagine what you can do from this day forward knowing what you now
know. Now you get YOU are the creator of your own destiny....No one
else can dance your dance, no one else can sing your song, no one else
can write your story. Who you are, and what you do.. Begins NOW!"
~Lisa Nichols, The Secret
"I believe that you are great, that there is something Magnificent
about you. Regardless of what has happened in your life. Regardless
of how young or how old you think you might be. The moment you begin
to "think propertly," this something that is within you, this power
within you is greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will
take over your life. It will feed you. It will clothe you. It will
guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very Existance. If
YOU let it. Now that is what I know for sure."
~Michael Bernard Beckwith, The Secret
At my work, we have formed a group and have been studying "The Secret" since last May.
We meet one a week and discuss the secret and other simiiar topics.
I find it very uplifting and it has been changing my whole outlook and approah on life.
I look forward to sharing and learning from you too!!

From the Secret - we know of the steps -
How to use the Secret - pg 45 if you have the book -
Ask -Make a command of the universe
Believe - Believe it is already yours, unwavering faith.... know like you know like you know
Recieve - begin to feel wonderful - This is a feeling universe
Questions for my fellow soul cysters to help get us focus and learning and supporting each other:
1) What have you select from the universe / your wishes?
2) Visualizations - Are they working for you?
3 ) With PCOS, what visualizations are working for you?
4) Have you created a vision board yet?
5) Have you started to take account, listing that which you are grateful in your life?
I heard about this briefly somewhere... So I'm glad to be reminded of it again today! I will be looking further into it. As a "Seeker of the Mysteries" myself, I'll be most interested in what it has to say. I'm most curious at the moment.
** Added.. what little bit I've gleaned so far online is that this appears to be one of the oldest Hermetic axioms around. If so, then others here will enjoy reading "The Kybalion" - which is available online. It was published in 1912: http://www.kybalion.org/kybalion.asp

I think the power of our own mind and heart is an often overlooked factor in dealing with PCOS, or any health conditoon for that matter. I listened to an interview with The Secret's producer Rhonda Bryne today, and it was so inspiring, she says it's not enough to just write down or say what you are grateful for, you have to totally feel and beleive it with all your heart, almost to the point of tears (happy tears!). The more you feel such joy, the more joy will come into your life.
I think with PCOS, so many women hate their bodies, "I hate my skin, I hate my fat belly"...etc, what kind of effect do you think this is having? It is giving you more of what you hate - acne, hair growth, weight gain.
I think it is important to start feeling good about ourselves, even if we don't! You can start by being aware of when you use negative words, and replace them with positives.

I love this thread. I have the DVD....I love it. It makes perfect sense to me too. I have affirmations plastered all over my house at the moment. I've been a bit slack with my visualisation lately.....this thread has sparked my interest again though. I'm going to stay tuned!!
I LOVE the secret. I have the DVD - I don't think I would have quite 'got it' from the book, although I'm not sure (haven't read it) - I just know the visuals in the DVD really made it all click for me.
I watched the secret a couple (ish) of months ago and it has really turned my life around. I used to live by the secret principles years ago, before infertility and life stresses completely took me off the track and dumped my life upside down. Now, thanks to the Secret, I have my old wonderful, inspiring life back and since watching it and applying it I honestly wake up each morning, saying and feeling "I feel fantastic!!", believing that my life is and will continue to be wonderful. I am now, after a couple of months, finding that I'm starting to manifest physical (material) things as well as non material abundance. On top of it all though I just feel RELIEVED to finally feel unstuck and excited about life again!!

I went to an amazing seminar on The law of Attraction last night, the speaker was Michael Losier: www.lawofattractionbook.com
He explains the secret/LOA really well, and has worksheets on his site you can use. I bought his book (and got to meet him and had my book autographed ), and am going to start using his methods.
One really interesting thing I picked up was about affirmations and why they don't always work. Usually the affirmations are stating what is not currently true, and so even though you say the words, inside you may be feeling negative about it, and so it doesn't have the desired effect.
An example he showed was a drawing of a large overweight man looking in the mirror saying "I have a happy and slender body". When the man says this, he is actually focusing on the fact that his body is not slender, so he suggests to re-word the affirmation to somethign like "I am in the process of attracting my ideal body".

Julie, I think you've made a really good point there about affirmations. I used to find they didn't work for me also and I now realise that's the reason why. Since seeing the secret, I actually BELIEVE that thinking will lead to things being, so I fully BELIEVE the affirmations and now they work wonders for me. Thanks for letting us know about the seminar - I'm off to check out the website now

I saw that presentation advertised in 'Insight' magazine Julie! Sounds like it was awesome. I'm so glad you came away feeling good and motivated. I understand where you are coming from with the affirmations. The willingness to be 'whatever' is a great starting point.
I just did a teacher certification course in 'You Can Heal Your Life' (Louise Hay) a couple of weeks ago so I can relate to that motivated feeling you have right now....it's GREAT!!! Let us know how it all goes. I'm really excited for you.
Look forward to seeing you this weekend Deb (Pale Pink Aura) so we can talk some more about this 'stuff'.
The Secret 
I'm most curious at the moment.
