Manifesting a Rose
Submitted by: Latha
Omaha, NebraskaIm a 24 yr old student who read the book and is now an active user of the law of attraction. I hope my story can inspire others to keep believing.
I read The Secret 6 months ago and watched the movie just last month. I always believed in the law of attraction and that we bring events into our own lives but I at times let the challenges of everyday life distract me.
Here is my story of how the secret helped heal me:
Recently I had been going through a really hard time. I just got out of an abusive, unfaithful relationship in a very violent way. Because of this, I ended up earning a bad reputation in the small community in which I was living within in the Bahamas. People did not hear my side of the story, just his side, and automatically assumed the worst of me, which was not true. So many people that I thought were my friends, and others I considered family, turned their backs on me. It was a very difficult time and I became very depressed.
I remembered the teachings of The Secret and wanted to read the book again so bad, but on the island it was not possible to get the book. Then I remembered there was a movie! I got the movie from iTunes and loaded it on to my iPod Touch. I went to the beach and relaxed and watched the movie. I did this a few times so the messages really sunk in.
The movie did not cure my depression or sadness but it did give me hope that I could change things. But every time I reviewed the situation I was in it all just seemed hopeless. I realized that my thinking was keeping me stuck in it and I needed to do something to make me know that the law of attraction works and I could change my life with positivity. Just as it suggests in the movie I started with trying to attract something small. They suggest a cup of coffee but I dont really drink coffee and felt it was too common to really prove to me that it works.
I decided on attracting a rose. Not just any rose but a yellow and pink rose, my favorite kind. I knew it would be my doing if I got this rose, because they did not naturally grow on the island and were not common there. So everyday I imagined this rose sitting on my kitchen counter and the wonderful smell of it. I visualized this for days.
After some time I started to lose hope. It had been a week and a half and I could not even manifest this small thing. It was frustrating to me but I kept doing it. That weekend one of my good friends came with me to the beach to just unwind and relax. We ended up having a great time there and I was so happy I completely forgot about all my troubles. We were walking along the waters edge while I was just enjoying every moment of life and just feeling the sunshine on my skin and being happy to be alive. I looked up at the sky and was just truly happy. At that moment the friend I was with stopped and said “Hey, look at this!” He bent down and picked up a rose that had washed on shore. As soon as he picked it up I was in shock. I was so excited and told him I had manifested this rose and it was a sign. I knew I had. Where else would a random yellow and pink rose wash up on a shore at the moment I was passing? It had to be my manifestation. I was so excited in that moment and realized that the law of attraction has so much to do with the way you truly feel. Its not going to work if you just keep telling yourself you are happy and things are great.
You really have to feel it.
Since then things have been improving everyday. My sister helped my buy a plane ticket to leave the island and all of the negativity that was there, and now I am happy and back in the states feeling alive again and closer to people that truly care about me.
I am so grateful for The Secret and its message. I do feel like it gave me hope when I thought there was none. That little rose jump started my path to healing and made me truly believe I could get anything I wanted.
