The Secret behind The Secret, by Dale Dwoskin

The law of attraction is a Great Secret of Life.

What is the law of attraction? Simply put, the law of attraction states that “Like attracts like.” What this universal law tells us about our own lives is that the thoughts we think, feelings we feel, words we say, and actions we take all consist of energy that attracts to it more of its own kind. That is, negative energies attract negative energies, and positive energies attract positive energies.

Yet most of us cannot control how we think, feel and behave no matter how hard we try, yet ...We need to let go of the old in order to make room for the new.

There is a simple and effective way to take charge of the law of attraction and easily let go of the old and hold in mind what you want and attract it to you. This technique is used by over one-third of the teachers in The Secret.
Letting go of the old

If we truly have over 50,000 thoughts a day, that’s a lot of thoughts to try to control and make positive. Yet if we “wake up on the wrong side of the bed,” we can have the same feeling the whole day coloring every thought. So it is much more effective to master our emotions than simply trying to control our thoughts.

We are creating the sum total of our thinking and feeling about any particular topic all the time, but most of thinking and feeling is below our conscious awareness in our subconscious. In fact, 94-96% of our actions are motivated by the thoughts and feelings that are outside of our conscious awareness and control. When you let go of your conscious feelings you empty your subconscious and you take back your control.

So, how do you use the law of attraction in your life to produce the results you want?

Letting go of your thoughts and feelings actually dissolves the negative emotional charge and allows you to easily feel the natural feelings of joy, peace, happiness, wealth, and love that are your true nature. You can let go of anything negative and uncover the positive that is natural in each and every one of us at our core. This will quickly and dramatically shift your sum total thinking and feeling about your goals and dreams and allow you to put the law of attraction into full effect in your life. No doubt about it, letting go is the secret behind The Secret.

Remember, to create what you want it is important to feel what you want and not just think it. There is no more effective way to let go of your negative emotions and feel the positive outcome of your goals than with The Sedona Method, a simple, powerful, easy-to-learn technique that shows you how to access your natural ability to let go of any unwanted feeling or thought right in the moment. It has been practiced by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide since 1974, including over one-third of the teachers in The Secret. It is the key to unlocking your unlimited potential to have, be or do whatever you desire to attract into your life.

Now you know the secret behind The Secret. Practice it along with The Secret and you’ll uncover that which mankind has sought since the dawn of time—and the Great Secret of the Ages will truly be yours.

Would you like to make more money, have more loving relationships and more radiant health and well being?

Have you tried programs for positive thinking, visualization, affirmations, motivation or subliminal reprogramming only to be disappointed?

Have you tried to change your attitude in order to have more of what you want and less of what you don't?

Do you feel like you have the talent and drive, but find things just don't seem to go your way?
Are you ready for the secret of unleashing the power of the law of attraction that really works?

If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, you are ready to unlock your true power. Have you ever noticed that two people with the same background and training, in the same field, often perform very differently? Why? Because of their attitude. Our emotions create our conscious and subconscious thoughts, and our thoughts either put us into action or prevent us from acting. See, hear and feel your negativity dissolve on the spot.
When you perceive you are being held back by your negative thinking, attitude or behavior, whether in staying current with your bills, negotiating that big deal, finding true love, dealing with health challenges planning and achieving your goals or in taking the steps to achieve them, simply ask yourself the easy-to-remember questions.

You will feel the tightness leaving your stomach, shoulders and chest. In its place, you will feel confidence, relaxation and clarity. You will no longer feel negative, anxious or out of control. You will feel more relaxed and able to handle whatever life throws at you more easily. The noise of your mind will subside, and you will have the clarity of mind to say and do what is appropriate and natural in order to master any life situation. You will be thinking positively without any effort, thereby creating abundance emotionally and physically.

You don't have to struggle to maintain a positive mental attitude anymore.
Although using positive thinking, visualization, affirmations, motivation or subliminal reprogramming do seem to work in helping you move in the direction of thinking more positively, you will find there is a better way. We do not have to program positive thinking. All we need to do is to liberate our natural positive nature. This natural positive attitude requires much less effort and struggle to achieve and maintain. Plus, if you truly enjoy working with positive thinking, visualization, affirmations, motivation if you combine them with The Sedona Method the results will be increased exponentially. Let's examine the alternatives to tapping your positive thinking power:

I. You can affirm the positive. Using positive thinking phrases requires a tremendous, continuous effort to remember and repeat the same positive phrases over and over again. It is also just layering positive thoughts on top of the existing negative ones, which clogs your mind with a lot of unnecessary extra noise. Plus, we often have the same feeling all day long which motivates our thoughts while we over 50,000 thoughts a day.

II. II. Subliminal programming. Although it may seem easy just to plop in a subliminal CD and have it reprogram your subconscious, doing this comes with risks. First of all, if you buy pre-made subliminal tapes, you really don't know what is in the subliminal messages. You are at the mercy of the people who created the tape and their consciousness. Not only that, this process really only layers supposedly "positive" thinking on top of the existing negative thoughts, which only clogs your mind with a lot of unnecessary extra noise. Even if you create your own subliminal messages they are already based on doubt and lack of confidence and are only covering over your true power to win.

III. Motivation. Have you ever gotten really pumped up by some motivational presentation only to have it wear off in hours or, at the most, days later? Motivation works only while you are being motivated. It also makes you dependent on someone or something outside of yourself to keep you motivated. Even self-motivation only temporarily overrides the existing negative. Rather then pump yourself up wouldn't you rather free yourself to find the natural wellspring that resides within you here and now.

IV. Visualization Just like with the other forms of positive programming visualization has it's limits and is only covering over your natural ability to succeed and thrive. Plus, it is always based on the past and the know and often the solution to your current problem or the key to achieving your worthy goal is beyond the realm of what you have already experienced.

V. Your key to true positive thinking power and financial freedom-the Sedona Method, an elegant, easy-to-learn, do-it-yourself system that will show you how to tap your natural ability to let go of any negative thought or feeling in the moment. It can be used in life to get immediate relief from the effects of negative thinking whenever it's holding you back from performing at your best. The Sedona Method helps you to easily break the patterns of thought and behavior that cause your self-sabotage to reoccur and prevent you from having what you everything that you choose-including- abundance, love and radiant health and well being.

How It Works: A Sample Releasing Process
There are three ways to approach the process of releasing, and they all lead to the same result: liberating your natural ability to let go of any unwanted emotion on the spot, and allowing some of the suppressed energy in your subconscious to dissipate. The first way is by choosing to let go of the unwanted feeling. The second way is to welcome the feeling, to allow the emotion just to be. The third way is to dive into the very core of the emotion.

Let me explain by asking you to participate in a simple exercise. Pick up a pen, a pencil, or some small object that you would be willing to drop without giving it a second thought. Now, hold it in front of you and really grip it tightly. Pretend this is one of your limiting feelings and that your hand represents your gut or your consciousness. If you held the object long enough, this would start to feel uncomfortable yet familiar.

Now, open your hand and roll the object around in it. Notice that you are the one holding on to it; it is not attached to your hand. The same is true with your feelings, too. Your feelings are as attached to you as this object is attached to your hand.

We hold on to our feelings and forget that we are holding on to them. It’s even in our language. When we feel angry or sad, we don’t usually say, “I feel angry,” or, “I feel sad.” We say, “I am angry,” or, “I am sad.” Without realizing it, we are misidentifying that we are the feeling. Often, we believe a feeling is holding on to us. This is not true… we are always in control and just don’t know it. Now, let the object go.

What happened? You let go of the object, and it dropped to the floor. Was that hard? Of course not. That’s what we mean when we say “let go.” You can do the same thing with any emotion: choose to let it go.

Sticking with this same analogy: If you walked around with your hand open, wouldn’t it be very difficult to hold on to the pen or other object you’re holding? Likewise, when you allow or welcome a feeling, you are opening your consciousness, and this enables the feeling to drop away all by itself—like the clouds passing in the sky or smoke passing up a chimney with the flue open. It is as though you are removing the lid from a pressure cooker.

Now, if you took the same object—a pencil, pen, or pebble—and magnified it large enough, it would appear more and more like empty space. You would be looking into the gaps between the molecules and atoms. When you dive into the very core of a feeling, you will observe a comparable phenomenon: nothing is really there.

As you master the process of releasing, you will discover that even your deepest feelings are just on the surface. At the core you are empty, silent, and at peace—not in the pain and darkness that most of us would assume. In fact, even our most extreme feelings have only as much substance as a soap bubble. And you know what happens when you poke your finger into a soap bubble: it pops. That’s exactly what happens when you dive into the core of a feeling.
Please keep these three analogies in mind as we go through the releasing process together. Releasing will help you to fee yourself from all of your unwanted patterns of behavior, thought and feeling. All that is required from you is being as open as you can be to the process. Releasing will free you to access clearer thinking, yet it is not a thinking process. Although it will help you to access heightened creativity, you don’t need to be particularly creative to be effective at doing it.

You will get the most out of the process of releasing the more you allow yourself to see, hear, and feel it working, rather than by thinking about how and why it works. Lead, as best you can, with your heart, not your head. If you find yourself getting a little stuck in trying to figure it out, you can use the identical process to let go of “wanting to figure it out.” Guaranteed, as you work with this process, you will understand it more fully by having the direct experience of doing it.
So here we go. Choosing to Let Go.Make yourself comfortable and focus inwardly. Your eyes may be open or closed.

Step 1: Focus on an issue that you would like to feel better about, and then allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling in this moment. This doesn’t have to be a strong feeling. In fact, you can even check on how you feel about this exercise and what you want to get from it. Just welcome the feeling and allow it to be as fully or as best you can.

This instruction may seem simplistic, but it needs to be. Most of us live in our thoughts, pictures, and stories about the past and the future, rather than being aware of how we actually feel in this moment. The only time that we can actually do anything about the way we feel (and, for that matter, about our businesses or our lives) is NOW. You don’t need to wait for a feeling to be strong before you let it go. In fact, if you are feeling numb, flat, blank, cut off, or empty inside, those are feelings that can be let go of just as easily as the more recognizable ones. Simply do the best you can. The more you work with this process, the easier it will be for you to identify what you are feeling.

Step 2: Ask yourself one of the following three questions:

• Could I let this feeling go? • Could I allow this feeling to be here? • Could I welcome this feeling?

These questions are merely asking you if it is possible to take this action. “Yes” or “no” are both acceptable answers. You will often let go even if you say “no.” As best you can, answer the question that you choose with a minimum of thought, staying away from second-guessing yourself or getting into an internal debate about the merits of that action or its consequences.
All the questions used in this process are deliberately simple. They are not important in and of themselves but are designed to point you to the experience of letting go, to the experience of stopping holding on. Go on to Step 3 no matter how you answered the first question.

Step 3: No matter which question you started with, ask yourself this simple question: Would I? In other words: Am I willing to let go?

Again, stay away from debate as best you can. Also remember that you are always doing this process for yourself—for the purpose of gaining your own freedom and clarity. It doesn’t matter whether the feeling is justified, long-standing, or right.

If the answer is “no,” or if you are not sure, ask yourself: “Would I rather have this feeling, or would I rather be free?”
Even if the answer is still “no,” go on to Step 4.

Step 4: Ask yourself this simpler question: When?

This is an invitation to just let it go NOW. You may find yourself easily letting go. Remember that letting go is a decision you can make any time you choose.

Step 5: Repeat the preceding four steps as often as needed until you feel free of that particular feeling.

You will probably find yourself letting go a little more on each step of the process. The results at first may be quite subtle. Very quickly, if you are persistent, the results will get more and more noticeable. You may find that you have layers of feelings about a particular topic. However, what you let go of is gone for good.
