It Works: The Famous Little Red Book that Makes Your Dreams Come True

That is the full title of this book. And it’s almost longer than the book itself. It Works is a tiny book that packs a BIG punch.

It Works – My Rating

Product: Self-development / Law of Attraction

Price: $1.99 – $4.00 (Depending on the format)

Available in Audio?: Yes

My Rating: 10 out of 10

I usually get the audio book versions of law of attraction books, mostly because I want to get all the information into my brain as quick as possible. However, this time I opted for the paperback copy. (And I don’t think there’s an audio version available right now, so that helped make my decision a bit easier!) It literally takes about 10-15 minutes to get through this little book. (It’s actually called a pamphlet on Amazon. It’s that small.)

But don’t let that fool you.

Even though it’s only 27 pages, it may be the best 27 pages you’ll ever read about bringing the desires you want into your life.

Write It Down

I’m not going to give away all the secrets of this little book, but one of the key things is writing down your desires and reading to them to yourself several times a day.

This is not a new concept.

But I’m learning this is an important concept.

It’s the main idea used in one of my favorite books, Write It Down, Make It Happen. It’s also a main concept in a book I’m listening to now from Bob Proctor, You Were Born Rich. (Review coming soon on this AMAZING book! Which is actually more like a seminar. In any case, stay tuned!)

Bob Proctor said that the first desire he wanted was $25,000. (That was a LOT of money back then.) He wrote it on a note card, stuck it in his pocket and read it several times a day until…

…he began to believe it would happen.

Ah ha! Belief is KEY.

The 3 Steps You Need to Get What You Want

In this book, there are 3 steps to getting anything you want.

1. Decide what you want. (This is probably the most important step. What do you actually want? Make a FIRM DECISION.)

2. Write it down.

3. Read it until you believe it will happen.

It sounds simple, and it is. As long as you have #1 down. You have to have a clear, focused desire. I think that’s where most people (including myself) get tripped up.

Figure out exactly what you want. And then it will be yours.

I Absolutely Recommend This Book.

I think it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. I love that it’s so small. I can take it with me anywhere! Why would I do that? Because it needs to be read more than once.

Repitition, repitition, repitition.

This is how things stick into our brains. This is how belief forms. And this little book is so easy fast and easy to read that it will be no problem rereading the book until you completely get the concepts and fully understand them.

Do you want to start getting what you desire right away? Let this little gem show you the way!

Writing The Untethered Soul book review might be one of the easiest things I’ve ever had to do. I just gave it a second listen recently, and I’m about to listen to it for the third time. Why? Because it’s that important. It’s that intriguing, insightful and interesting. In fact, I think it should be required reading for every person on the planet. At least, every person who actually wants to have a good life.

The Untethered Soul – My Rating

Product: Self-development / Spiritual

Price: $9.99 – $19.31 (Depending on the format)

Who Are You?

The Untethered Soul starts with this question. Who are you? No, but really. Who are you? Not your name, your height, your weight, who you’re married to. Those are just ideas made up from thoughts. Who is thinking those thoughts? Who is inside looking out into the world through your eyes?

Did you ever have that thought before? Who’s really behind your body? I once did in a flash. I was in the car and I had that exact thought. “Who or what is looking through my eyeballs?” It was such a short brush of intense insight, but such a fascinating perspective to have. I really felt the question – and the answer.

What’s looking out through your eyes, experiencing the world through your body is YOU. The real you. The internal you. The you that’s your higher self. Your soul.

Your Annoying Roommate

Do you ever really listen to your thoughts? Do you hear what they’re saying? Michael Singer likens them to a really annoying roommate. They say things like “Is this a good dress? Nah, I don’t really like this one. Look at my butt. My butt looks so big in this dress. I wonder if Jeremy would like it. He probably won’t. He only likes plain dresses. But he might like this one.”

Just constant chatter.

Over and over and over again.

Meaningless chatter.

And this chatter can sometimes talk us in or out of certain things.

Instead of listening to the chatter, you can just observe it. Observe it and then let it go. Oh, here’s a thought, and there it goes.

This helps because sometimes the inner chatter creates resistance to things. If you can just notice the chatter come and go, you can let go whatever the chatter is and the resistance won’t have a chance to bother you. Resistance makes you feel upset, tight, frustrated, angry or even just bored.

When you’re open and not resistant, you feel light, happy, content and energized.

We Are Spinning on a Globe in the Middle of Space

This is something that Michael Singer mentions a few times. We are spinning on a little globe in the middle of space. The way he uses it is to put things into perspective. For instance, let’s say someone cut in front you in line at Starbucks. Super annoying, right? So what?!

We’re spinning on a globe in the middle of freaking space!

In other words, it’s not that big of deal!

If you can keep this perspective in mind as you go throughout your days, you can perhaps begin to understand that you don’t need to worry about these little things. Who cares if someone cut you off in line at Starbucks? Does that really matter? Should it turn your whole inner world upside down? Who pays for that? You do. You punish yourself in that way. You set up walls and create resistance.-

Go Behind Your Thoughts

The main concept in The Untethered Soul is to just notice your thoughts passing by. If something unpleasant happens to you (and it will because that’s life), go behind the thoughts and the feelings. Allow the feelings to happen. Allow them to come and then to go.

This is not easy. All of your thoughts will want to go toward that thing that has happened. You will want to close up and become resistant. But if you can go “behind” your thoughts and feelings and just observe them as they pass through your body and mind, you can stay in balance.

---

Staying in Balance

Staying in balance is a big concept in this book. You don’t want to be too far one way or the other with anything. Let’s say you love to eat. (uh, yea, that’s me! Check out my other site PickPlants.com.)

On the one hand, if you eat too much you can gorge yourself to death. On the other hand, you can swing all the way to the other side and starve yourself to death. In order to live in the best way possible, you will want to be in the middle. You want to eat just enough to keep your body healthy.

This is true with everything, including relationships too. You don’t want to smother your partner, but you also don’t want to spend all of your time apart. Neither way will work. You want to find a balance. It seems like the most logical thing in the world, but I see all kinds of people out of balance. Do you? Are you out of balance? I’m not always in balance.

Staying in balance, again, goes back to just observing your thoughts, feelings and emotions instead of letting your thoughts take over. When you just notice your thoughts, feelings and emotions and let them pass through you, this is how you stay in balance.

Let’s go back to the eating example. If you’re upset about something, so you eat to make yourself feel better, this is not in balance. You’re letting your thoughts rule you. Let those thoughts pass through. Let them go. Let the free flowing energy fill you. Then you’ll be in balance.

Life Experiences Are a Gift

I only gave you a very few snippets of what this book is about. But I hope it was enough to see how powerful it really is. This book teaches you how to be happy. No matter what your circumstances are.

Things happen in life. Sometimes those things don’t seem good. But they’re experiences. And every single life experience is a gift in some way.

Michael Singer even gives the perspective that death is a gift. That’s a beautiful chapter that I think you’ll really enjoy. I know it made me think a little differently about my demise and the certain demise of everyone around me.

Get this book. Have an open mind when you read it, or listen to it. Then listen to it again. And maybe again until the concepts sink in. It might not get there the first time.

This is your work. This is your journey to grow. This is the fun of life. Truly enjoy it.

One Side Note

Michael Singer has another book called The Surrender Experiment. If you’re only going to read two books in your life, they should be The Untethered Soul and the Surrender Experiment. I’ll review that one in another post at a later date. For now, enjoy untethering your soul from your thoughts.

In my last post, we went over The Secret, a book centered around the Law of Attraction that started me down an exciting new path in my life. It’s funny. I realized some times in my life when I used Law of Attraction but didn’t even know it! In fact, I mentioned how my and my husband’s perfect house came into being through Law of Attraction. I didn’t know anything about LOA at that time. The Law of Attraction is a Universal law that is working, all the time, every time whether you know it or not. When you do know about it, that’s when it gets fun. Because now you can start to deliberately bring things into your life – just the way you imagine them to be! And I learned this lesson even deeper in the Law of Attraction book that really changed my world. The book that really changed some things for me is The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham. When I stood in Barnes and Noble on my lunch break, and I picked up the book (the audio version, which I highly recommend, but we’ll get to that), I thought “Ugh, this looks way too spiritual.”

The Law of Attraction

But there was something about what Abraham was saying in The Secret (Abraham is in the original movie version, not the updated one) that I couldn’t shake. So I bought the audio book anyway. And I put the CD in my car. And things were just different after that.

---

Who or What is Abraham?

OK, first, let’s get this out of the way. Because this is not something that’s going to resonate with everyone. Abraham is a spiritual energy that communicates through a woman named Esther Hicks. Some people say that Esther channels Abraham, but she never uses that terminology. Rather, she says that she’s tapping into infinite intelligence. From the Abraham-Hicks.com website, “Abraham has described themselves as ‘a group consciousness from the non-physical dimension'”. The first CD in Law of Attraction explains a bit more about who Abraham is. Abraham speaking though Esther isn’t a new concept. This is something that happens fairly regularly. Seth Speaks is a book in which a non-physical entity named Seth speaks through a woman named Jane Roberts. And Conversations with God is a book series where Neale Donald Walsch “hears” (downloads is a better terms) words from God and writes them onto paper. Perhaps you’ve even done your own form of channeling. Maybe you’re not bringing in an entity that’s speaking through you, but if you’ve ever been in the zone when you’ve painted, or played music, or played basketball, that’s a form of channeling. You’re almost being taken over by a force that is greater than your physical body. In a good way though!

Why I Recommend the Audio Version of The Law of Attraction

If you’re intrigued enough by the idea of The Law of Attraction book, then I highly, highly recommend the audio version. What happens in this book is that Jerry Hicks (Esther’s now deceased husband) asks a series of questions to Abraham. It’s all things you would want to ask Abraham if you had the chance. What I love about this is that this is in Esther’s earlier days and her voice really highlights the power and wisdom of Abraham. Now, if you find them on YouTube, Esther’s voice is very smooth. The words are still powerful, but early Abraham in The Law of Attraction book is definitely something otherworldly. I didn’t grow up with religion or spirituality at all. And when I put this audio into my car for the first time, it hit me right in the gut. I knew it was what I was missing from my life. I now understand how important that piece is to life, and I understood it so clearly that day. I put the audio in, and I understood it as “truth” immediately. To my very core. That’s not to say you would have the same reaction. Especially if you already have a spiritual background, but I believe you will still get a lot out of this audio because Abraham goes on to explain how we can create our own reality. THAT is the fun part.

Interesting Things Happened After Listening

After listening to The Law of Attraction for a couple of days, my energy was so high it was almost uncomfortable. But what’s amazing is that I would ask the “Universe” for something, and it would come within a day or two. Here are a couple of examples: 1. I asked the U for a gift. It didn’t matter what, just a gift. A couple of days later, we had our in-laws over for a cookout, and my sister-in-law brought my husband and I a gift. It was a little grill that had a place for ketchup and mustard. 2. One of my most favorite manifestations happened at this time. We were going to my husband’s co-worker’s wedding. I asked the U for something really interesting to happen that night. That’s all. Just something interesting or exciting. Well, we were chatting with the people at our table, and one of the women asked us if we had kids and we said “Yes, we have a son named Frankie.” She said “My sister has a son named Frankie!” Then I said “Oh that’s cool! And we have a daughter named Lia.” And she said “My sister’s daughter is also named Lia!” We confirmed that the spelling of Lia was the same. Earth shattering? No! What I asked for? Precisely!

You Get What You Think About

What I’ve learned from The Law of Attraction book and from other teachers since then, is that you get what you think about. Or, rather, you get what you’re most energetically thinking about. One of the things in The Law of Attraction book that stands out for me, and something I still think about ALL the time, is Abraham emphatically states that you have to have powerful, positive energy on something in order to manifest it in your life. POWERFUL, POSITIVE energy. This is key. You can’t be all willy-nilly about what you want. When I first put those CDs in my car, I had such powerful, positive energy that it was easy for me to manifest. At some point, I’ll have to tell you how I manifested my computer with this type of energy. It’s probably my most favorite manifestation story, and the most fun I’ve ever had manifesting (so far)! Stay tuned! If you’re ready to really be blown away by some knowledge and insight, I highly recommend The Law of Attraction book. In audio form!

If you get the book, or if you’ve already listened to it, leave me a comment below and tell me what you think. Did it change your life in any way?

The Secret is not just a book, but a concept that completely changed my life. I saw the movie version of it when it came out in 2006 and it turned my world upside down – in a good way!

If you’ve never seen or read The Secret, the ideas and concepts may be ones that you’ve never heard of. However, the book is all based on spiritual principles that have been around since the beginning of time.

What is The Secret Law of Attraction Book?

The Secret is a book (and a movie) written by Rhonda Byrne that popularized the idea of the Law of Attraction. The book and movie stars such people as:

• Bob Proctor
• Joe Vitale
• Jack Canfield
• Michael Beckwith
• John Assaraf
• John Demartini
• Mike Dooley
• Neale Donald Walsch
• James Arthur Ray
• Fred Alan Wolf

And many, many more. In the original movie of The Secret, there was also a prominent role by Abraham. Finding Abraham was an important piece of the manifesting puzzle for me.

Each of the people in the movie (and the book) talks about the power of the Law of Attraction and how to use it to create your own reality.

What is The Law of Attraction?

Let’s take a step back a bit and talk about the Law of Attraction. In simplest forms, the Law of Attraction states “Like attracts like.” Things that are similar are attracted to each other.

The idea is that everything in the Universe is made of energy. That includes our world, ourselves, our shoes, the trees outside, the stars, the moon…everything. Everything.

This also includes our thoughts.

Our thoughts are energy.

What this means is that through the Law of Attraction, you can focus your thoughts on something in particular and you can attract it into your life.

Now, if your first thought is “What!? That’s so awesome! I can’t wait to attract everything that I want into my life!”, you’re on the right track. However, it does take some work. Mental work. This blog will be talking all about this type of thing.

If your initial thoughts are “No way! That’s crap. You can’t attract whatever you want into your life. My life sucks!” Well, I hate to break it to you, but you attract everything into your life, whether you know it or not. And if you’re saying your life sucks, then just think about this…

---

Thoughts Become Things

Bob Proctor is a prominent person in The Secret Law of Attraction book, and one of his famous quotes is:

“Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.”

If you’re telling yourself that your life sucks, that’s what you’re seeing in your mind, and that’s what you’re getting in your life. It’s as simple as that.

We are going to be working on this more, don’t worry. This whole site is dedicated to changing our thoughts, our habits and our actions to create the world around us that we want.

---

It’s Not Just Wishing

I’ve seen many people bash The Secret and Law of Attraction in general because they have this idea that all you have to do is wish for something and it’ll automatically show up in front of you.

That’s not how it works at all.

T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind says it like this:

Thoughts –> Feelings –> Actions –> Results

Thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions, which leads to results.

I’ll be doing some longer posts about how things have come into my own life through Law of Attraction as time goes on, but I’ll give you a shortened version of the manifestation of my house.

---

Thoughts –> First, my husband and I had a list of what we wanted in a house. Through talking about it and thinking about it, we visualized what we wanted.

Feelings –> We had a contract on a house that had some things we visualized, but it didn’t feel right. My intuition told me it wasn’t quite right and that we had to look again.

Action –> I told my husband we had to look one more time. We found a “For Sale By Owner” sign in the window of a house that has EVERYTHING we had on our house list.

Results –> Through pretty crazy circumstances we were able to get out of the contract of the other house and we now live in the “perfect” house.

---

Listening to your intuition is a major factor in getting what you want out of life. If you’re really, really clear on what you want, your internal self and the Universe will show you the way to get there through circumstances, ideas and nudges.

Now, sometimes your brain will get in the way and try to tell you something, and that something doesn’t always lead to the easiest path. When you have an intuitive thought, it just feels different. It’s almost like you can’t not do the thing you’re thinking about. It’s inspired action. It feels good and natural.

Try to think of a time in your life when you couldn’t not be, do or have something. Can you remember how thoughts led to feelings, which led to action, which led to results? This is how Law of Attraction truly works.

The real key in all of this is…

---

You Have to Be REALLY Clear on What You Want

This might actually be the hardest part in the whole system. Knowing exactly what you want. Since you always get what you think about, you’ve got to be sure your thoughts are pointed in the direction of what you want.

A lot of times, our thoughts are wishy-washy. So we end up with wishy-washy results.

Once you are clear and make a FIRM DECISION about that thing that you truly want, it HAS to come. It’s Law. It may not come in the way you expect, so try not to expect anything. It will likely come in the most awesome, amazing completely unexpected way. THAT’S the way you want it to be. THAT’S the fun way!

I suggest reading books and watching movies like The Secret and finding YouTube videos and websites of the people in The Secret. Why?

#1. You can learn from people who have figure out how to get exactly what they want in life.
#2. It will inspire you, make you feel positive and help you think about what you want in your life.

I also hope that this site will help point you in the direction of what you want and how to get there through inspired action. When that does happen to you, can you please let me know about it by posting in the comments below? It will inspire others and help them realize this is a real thing.

In fact, if you’ve already deliberately manifested something in your life through the Law of Attraction, post it below. I love a good LOA story!
