This story doesn’t have a beginning, middle and end, per se. But I had an amazing experience today that I just had to share. I’ve never posted a story before, but I’ve read many of them, so I thought this might help somebody else.

Since 2006 I’ve faithfully read, watched and listened to “The Secret,” “The Power,” “The Magic” and “Hero.” I’ve seen remarkable changes in my life that I can directly link to learning about The Law of Attraction. But like many people, my handle on LOA comes and goes in phases. I’m not sure why that is, though major life changes and personal losses have played a part to some degree. Oddly, it’s those things that always prompt me to pull out one of my books and start reading about LOA again. So I am still working on the mechanics of making my mind automatically work in my best interest, but I’m not quite there yet.

Fast forward to today, November 29, 2016. Since the end of the Presidential Election a few weeks ago, I’ve been having mild to severe anxiety attacks off and on, due to concerns about my health, which may or may not be affected by the new administration’s policies. These are things I have no control over. I’m usually able to cope with that reality and turn my mind toward better thoughts with trust that all will be well. But I’ve been really struggling with it since the election. Last night was the worst. The feeling was so strong I slept fitfully, and that only because of a sleep meditation I played on my MP3 player, on repeat, all night.

When I awoke this morning, the anxiety was still in high gear. I felt physically ill and mentally drained. My mind was churning out every possible worst case scenario it could muster. I kept trying to reign it back in. But it seemed like it was out of my control. I should point out, I don’t suffer from anxiety in any clinical capacity, so I do not have a history of or take medications relating to that condition. These were simple cause and effect anxious thoughts. But they were more powerful than I ever imagined they could be. It got so bad that, in addition to the fear I was projecting surrounding my health, and how that could spiral out into every area of my life, should the worst ever happen regarding my healthcare situation, I also started to panic about the amount of negative energy my inescapable brain pattern was surely attracting to me right now!

I was feeling extremely unwell, and literally shaking all over, desperate for a way out of this mind trap, when I finally said out loud to the universe, “Please help me to shut off these thoughts and immediately replace them with positive thoughts a thousand time more powerful!”

The answer came in an instant. As in the past, I turned to Rhonda. I went to my computer and opened up Windows Media Player. I clicked on the subheading Artist and scrolled down to Rhonda’s name. I have two of her books in print and audio versions, “The Secret” and “The Power.” When the first track from “The Secret” started playing, I had a sense that I would soon be okay. I had many things to do, so I turned the volume up very loud and got busy with the day’s tasks. It took a while for me to notice that something was odd. I’ve listened to these books so often I practically know them by heart. But they weren’t playing in any order I recognized. I hadn’t realized it, but the tracks were set to shuffle, so both books were being played, out of order, at the same time. It was the most amazing thing. It was like reading these books for the first time again. I couldn’t believe how listening to them out of sequence, brought things to my attention that I hadn’t entirely paid attention to before.

I let these tracks play all day long today. I can’t tell you how much they have helped me to eradicate the anxiety thoughts. I feel like I am ready to face any future and feel, like I generally do, that whatever happens I’m going to be positioned for the best possible outcome.

Listening to those books out of sequence was such an amazing experience, I really just wanted to tell everybody about it. I hope you give it a try and have as wonderful an experience as I did. I am absolutely certain that the powerful positive emotions and thoughts listening to the books today evoked in me, were thousands of times more powerful than the negative thoughts that hijacked my mind last night.

Thank you, Rhonda and everybody else on The Secret team!
