The Magic (13 page)
If you are using gratitude’s magical power to improve a current relationship, you will see the relationship begin to change miraculously before your eyes. It only takes one person to magically change a relationship through gratitude, but it is the person who uses gratitude who receives the benefits in their whole life.
If you chose a past relationship, where you are not in contact with the person anymore, you will feel a peace and happiness fill you, and at the same time you will see other current relationships in your life magically improve.
In the future, if a relationship becomes challenging, remember to use this magical practice immediately. You will stop the difficulties before they get any bigger, and instead you will increase the magic in the relationship!

Magic and Miracles in Health
“Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.”
Saint Augustine (354–430)
THEOLOGIAN AND CATHOLIC BISHOP
We should feel healthy, energized, and full of happiness most of the time, because that is how it feels to have our birthright of full health. The reality, however, is that a lot of people don’t feel this way very often, if ever. Many people are dealing with illnesses, problems with the functioning of their body, or suffering from bouts of depression and other mental health problems, which are all states of less-than-full health.
Gratitude is one of the fastest ways I know to magically begin experiencing the full state of health you are meant to have in your body and mind. All the miracles of healing we see happen are simply the result of full health being restored instantly in the human body, where before there was less than full and perfect health. If you don’t think gratitude creates miracles in your health and body, then read some of the thousands of miracle stories on The Secret website: www.thesecret.tv/stories.
Gratitude’s magical power
increases
the natural flow of health to the mind and body, and can assist the body in healing more quickly, as countless studies have shown. The magical power of gratitude also works hand in hand with good bodily care, nutrition, and any medical assistance you might have chosen to follow.
When there is some kind of sickness or condition in your body, it is understandable that you may have negative feelings about it, like worry, frustration, or fear. But having negative feelings about sickness does not restore health. In fact, it has the opposite effect – it reduces health even more. To increase your health, you need to replace the negative feelings with good feelings, and gratitude is the easiest way to do it.
Many people also have critical thoughts and feelings of dissatisfaction about their physical appearance. Unfortunately those thoughts and feelings also reduce the magical flow of health. When there’s something you don’t like about your body, you are not being grateful for your body. Think about it. By the law of attraction, complaints about your body bring more problems to complain about, and so complaining about your body or appearance puts your very health at risk.
“Whoever does not have
gratitude
(for their health and their body), even what he or she has will be taken from him or her.”
“Whoever has
gratitude
(for their health and their body) will be given more, and he or she will have an abundance (of health to their body).”
You may be sick or unwell now, or even in a lot of pain, but if you are reading these words you are continuing to receive the gift of health. It can be very difficult to access feelings of gratitude when sick or in pain, but even the smallest bit of gratitude helps increase the magical flow of health to the body.
Today’s practice, Magic and Miracles in Health, is designed to dramatically increase your health and happiness. And we’re going to take a triple-pronged approach to accelerate the results.
Step 1: Health You’ve Received (past)
Think about the great health you have received throughout your childhood, adolescence, and adult life. Think about the times when you felt full of energy, and you were happy. Recollect three separate times in your mind when you felt on top of the world, say the magic words,
thank you,
and feel sincere gratitude for those times. If you think back to the big moments in your life, you will be able to recollect three separate times very easily.
Step 2: Health You’re Continuing to Receive (present)
Think about the health you are continuing to receive today, and feel grateful for every organ, system, and physical sense that is currently working well in your body. Think about your arms, legs, hands, eyes, ears, liver, kidneys, brain, or heart. Choose five functions of your body that
are
well, and one by one, mentally say the magic words,
thank you,
for each one.
Step 3: Health You Want to Receive (future)
You’re going to choose one thing you want to improve about your body for today’s magical practice, but you are going to use gratitude’s magical power for it in a very particular way. Think about the
ideal
state of what you want to improve. When you give thanks for the
ideal
state of anything, you have put into motion to receive back that ideal state.
Very often when a person is diagnosed with an illness or disease of some kind, they will not only talk about it a lot, but they will research the disease, gathering information about its possible worsening symptoms and dreaded outcomes. In other words, they give their entire focus to the disease. However, the law of attraction says that we can’t make a problem go away by focusing on it, because focusing on the problem can only make the problem worse. Instead, we should do the exact opposite, and focus on the
ideal
state for the area of our body that is unwell, and give our thoughts and feelings to that. Gratitude for the
ideal
state of any part of our body powerfully uses our thoughts and feelings together so we magnetize it to us – in one fell swoop!
Spend one minute in visualizing a scene of yourself with the
ideal
state of your body that you want. And as you see your body in your mind the way you want it to be, be grateful for it as though you have received it.
So, if you want to magically restore health to your kidneys, be grateful for strong and healthy kidneys that filter and sift out all the waste products from your body. If you want to magically restore health to your blood, be grateful for pure and healthy blood that flows oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body. If you want to magically restore health to your heart, give thanks for a strong and healthy heart that maintains the well-being of every organ in your body.
If you want to magically improve your eyesight, then give thanks for excellent vision. If you want to improve your hearing, then give thanks for perfect hearing. If you want more flexibility, then give thanks for a perfectly supple and agile body. If you want to change your weight, first think about the
ideal
weight that you want to be, then imagine yourself at that ideal weight, and give thanks for it as though you have received it now.
Whatever it is that you want to improve, first imagine yourself with the
ideal
state, and then be grateful for the
ideal
state as though you have received it right now.
“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”
Hippocrates (circa 460–circa 370 BC)
FATHER OF WESTERN MEDICINE
You can follow the Magic and Miracles in Health practice every day if you need to, and you can do it multiple times in a day if you really want to accelerate the magical restoration of full health, or the improvement of an aspect of your body. But it is vital that whenever you have a negative thought or feeling about the current state of your body or health that you replace it immediately by visualizing yourself with the
ideal
state you want and by being truly grateful, as though you have already received it.
The most effective way to guarantee health, other than taking good care of yourself physically, is to continue to be grateful for your health.

Day 17
The Magic Check
“In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen.”
William S. Burroughs (1914–1997)
WRITER AND POET
When you direct gratitude’s magical power toward any negative condition, a
new
condition is created, eliminating the old condition. That means that when you get yourself to the place where you feel grateful for money more than you feel a lack of money, a new condition is created, eliminating the lack of money and magically replacing it with more money.
All bad feelings about money push money away from you and reduce the amount of money in your life, and every time you feel bad about money you reduce it a little more. If you have feelings about money like envy, disappointment, worry, or fear, you cannot receive more. The law of attraction says that like attracts like, so if you feel disappointed that you don’t have enough money, you will receive more disappointing circumstances of not having enough money. If you are worried about money you will receive more worrying situations about money. If you feel fearful about the state of your money, then you must receive more situations that will continue to make you fearful about money.
However difficult it may be, you have to ignore your current situation and any lack of money you may currently be experiencing, and gratitude is the guaranteed way for you to do that. You can’t be grateful for money and disappointed about money at the same time. You can’t be thinking grateful thoughts about money and have worried thoughts about money at the same time. Nor can you be grateful for money and have fearful thoughts about money at the same time. When you’re grateful for money, not only do you stop the negative thoughts and feelings that push money away from you, you’re doing the very thing that brings more money to you!
