I had to write about this movie this week. What a phenomenal viewing!!! For those of you who are familiar with affirmations and creating your own “dream life” then this will either knock your socks off or be great refreshing viewing. The movie “The secret” is a must see. You can view it on the web at thesecrettv.com. It probably should have come out before “What the bleep”. It is not as detailed or scientific as “What the bleep”. What I really enjoyed about it was it’s pure and unadulterated simplicity with real examples of being able to put such intangibles as affirmations and realization into practice.
The example they give of driving the car is superb in its capacity to actually ignite your imagination into understanding the possibilities that these tools offer. They ask you to stretch your hands out in front of your face (go ahead and do it with me now – as long as no-one is watching!!) and then they ask you to close your eyes and as you do, imagine that your hands are now bending around the steering wheel of your dream car. Go on !! Imagine it… keep going, now, imagine that you get to drive that car home. By actually physically and mentally doing this, you are more likely to both align your energy to create this possibility as well as let your sub-conscious know without a shadow of a doubt that this is what you truly desire. There is a huge difference between writing these down and actually feeling them.
I have been using these tools for about 15 years, but where I was lacking the skill was in actually feeling the passion behind the things that I wanted to do/be or have. Now, it all feels so much more real to me. I love practicing gratitude every morning. I am grateful for the life I lead and the friends that I have, for my family and the things I have learned. I have been using my “new” technicolour tools from “the secret” and if nothing else, I feel better. I feel even more positive. I feel more excited about the possibilities that tomorrow may bring and even just what the present is bringing now. I hope you enjoy it is as much as I did!!
