What is The Secret?

The Secret is based on teachings of "The Law of Attraction". In order to tap into The Secret, you must decide what you want, allow yourself to accept what you want, be grateful for what you already have and be open to receiving it. Ultimately, The Secret teaches that "thoughts become things."³

Teachings on Money

According to The Secret, people are money magnets. If we are clear on the amount of money we want to receive, speak about it and think it, we can receive it. The idea is to avoid talking about the lack of money you have. You must know that there is an abundance of money and visualize it as if you already have it.⁴

Teachings on Relationships

According to The Secret, you can transform any relationship by first loving yourself. You must know that you are worthy of deserving love and focus on the things that are good about the people that surround you. Take away blame and infuse happiness not only in your communication with others, but also by respecting those around you.⁴

Teachings on Health

According to The Secret, you are a magnet of good health. You are capable of healing yourself and also maintaining a good physical state. In order to do this, you must free yourself of talking about sickness or disease, be grateful that wellness and healing are upon you, and keep yourself in a non-stressful state.⁴
