others may have watched "The Secret" movie and started to follow the guidelines in the movie. You've asked, you've gotten into the feeling state of already having it, and then you've opened up to receive.

But there was a tiny problem. Nothing happened. Or even worse, things progressed from bad to worse. Things just did not turn out the way you thought they would. Does that mean that the law of attraction is not working?

Is the law of attraction all hype? Why is it not working for so many people? Well guess what? "The Secret" is simply just fluff. Because of the sensational nature, the media industry is to blame. People like to watch

shocking and amazing things. Because of this, you get a really watered down version of what the law of attraction really is.

Honestly, do you really think you could learn to master something so powerful as the law of attraction in just an hour or two, when all your life you've lived thinking that either someone more powerful outside of you was responsible for all that happens in your existence?

Everything takes practice and that includes something powerful as the law of attraction. Think about when you first learned to walk or ride a bicycle or even learned to drive a car. Is it not true that you made some mistakes? We all make mistakes.

So if you've found the law of attraction not quite working for you the way you thought, its not your fault. It's not that you're not smart enough, many of the world's most intelligent people have made mistakes. It's

just that you have not had the right tools to help you align with the law of attraction in such a way as to get more of what you want in life.

So how do you go from where you are now to what you have dreamt about or have seen on your vision board? You learn about the other universal laws such as;

1. Law of One - we are all one, literally. This has a scientific foundation because at the core we are all just a big sea of energy and light.

2. Law of Forgiveness - what does forgiveness have to do with attracting more of what you want? Forgiveness is the process of letting go of pain and fear. Forgiving not just others, but more importantly yourself because we are all one.

3. Law of Increase - the shortest route to tapping into a higher existence and a higher consciousness is to get into the vibration of increase. This is where your vision board comes in or imagining what it would be like

to have more than enough money, food, clothes and material resources.

4. Law of Compensation - you reap what you saw. You get back what you put in. Sounds simple enough, but it is a very powerful law. Each second that you live your life throughout the day you are offering a vibration or you are giving something to the universe. In turn, you are getting something back in terms of a physical reality. The way it works is that you give emotions...love, thankfulness, joy, laughter, feelings that feel good to you.

5. Law of Non-Resistance - what you resist will persist. Why? Even if you don't want something, the very resisting of it is a form of focus. On top of that, you are feeling negative about something, and whether or not it is positive or negative, strong emotion will attract the very thing you are focusing on.

But there is something else that "The Secret" did not tell you. When you realize this, you'll be able to magically transform every single obstacle in your life into an opportunity for greater success. All it takes is just a mental shift in your mind. That's easier said than done, so how do you do it?

How do you break away from that dead-end job that you hate? How do you break away from living a life of credit card debt? How do you see and feel abundant when there is a worldwide recession right now?

The key is to dig deeper and to understand more and more about the law of attraction. The law of attraction is not something that you can just learned after a few short hours or weeks. It is a life long learning process.
