On February 8, 2007, millions of viewers tuned in to The Oprah Winfrey Show to learn about applying The Secret and the Law of Attraction. According to Oprah.com, “The concept says that the energy you put into the world—both good and bad—is exactly what comes back to you. This means you create the circumstances of your life with the choices you make every day.

According to James (one of The Secret teachers), there is scientific evidence to back up the spiritual practices and laws defined in The Secret. “Science tells us that everything is energy, and so your thoughts are energy. Your body, your cash, your car—everything you think is solid, if you put it under a high-powered microscope, it’s just a field of energy and a rate of vibration,” he says. “And so are we. So if you think you’re this meat suit running around, you have to think again.”

One way to describe this energy is by comparing it radio waves, “The frequency you give out through your thoughts and your emotions is what you have a tendency to manifest in your life,” Michael says. “Whether those thoughts and emotions are conscious or unconscious, it doesn’t matter.”

This means that if you are sending out the same negative energy over an over—whether thoughts or feelings—you will attract like energy back to you. James says that when bad things happen people might ask, “Oh, God, why me?” “Because it is you,” he says.”

I’ve recently seen a number of startups now trying to capitalize on the success of The Secret and helping people apply it to their daily lives.

One such company is Chartering Success.

The people at Chartering Success believe that success is achieved with three powerful principles:

1. Desire to create success…you already have a strong desire
2. The willingness to change and become successful… you’ve already taken the first step
3. The right tools to help you achieve the results you desire

They’ve also created 150 programs to help people apply The Secret and the Law of Attraction to everyday life. The programs range from Body Image to Financial Abundance, to Fear of Automobiles. You can either purchase one program or a subscription to the site and get access to all the programs.

Personally, I have not had much exposure to The Secret and am amazed at the tremendous popularity and growth surrounding the new industry that has been created as a result from the exposure on Oprah and other popular t.v. shows.

I would love to hear your experiences with The Secret - Have you heard of it? Has it worked for you? Would you use a service like Chartering Success?
