Jack Canfield and D.D. Watkins

D.D. would like to express a special thank you to her daughter Marissa for her patience throughout this project and for being a constant source of beauty and inspiration, her stepson Christian for inherently knowing how to believe and receive, and Lee for loving me enough to set me free when I needed to fly. I am grateful every single day for the support and encouragement of my sisters, Melanie, Stephanie, and Polly, and for the creativity, grace, and gentility of my mother, Martha, who taught me long ago to love words, poetry, and all things beautiful. Vicki, Randi, Georgia, Gram, Daddy, and Frankmy teachers and companions on this journey... I love you all, I always will, and I am grateful.

It is said that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. If you are reading this book, then you are obviously ready to take the next step in your own personal evolution. You are ready to begin deliberately creating and receiving more of what you really want in your life. By consciously and intentionally working with the Law of Attraction, you can create exactly what you want with less effort and more joy.

While many people now refer to the Law of Attraction as a secret, it is neither a new concept nor a recent discovery. It has been an integral part of the great teachings of the ages for several millennia. I have been teaching this principle, along with many others, for over thirty years. With the release of the DVD movie The Secret and appearances by many of the teachers (myself included) that were featured in the movie on Oprah, Larry King Live, The Today Show, Montel, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and N ightline, the awareness of the Law of Attraction has now become part of the mainstream culture.

Finally, we are learning that we are all participants in the creation of our lives, and we are all responsible for the state of the world we live in. We are beginning to realize that if we want things to change on an external level, then we must be willing to make the necessary internal changes as well. There is a shift taking place, a change in our awareness. This change is in the air and on the airwaves, and we can feel it deep within our souls. There seems to be a common yearning among us to return to a simpler, more joyous place and time, and we know on some internal level that there is more to life than what we have been experiencing. We know that greater fulfillment is possible and we are ready for it. We have reached a point where we have come full circle in our spiritual evolution, and we are longing to understand our connection to each other, our purpose, and ourselves. We are, as a people, looking within, questioning our priorities, our circumstances, and searching for deeper meaning in our lives.

It is my hope that through this book and through a better understanding of how the Law of Attraction is at work in your life, you will also gain a greater understanding of yourselfa sense of who you really are and why you are here. This simple guide is your key. It can unlock the gate to the future you desire and lead you down a path of greater joy, prosperity, and abundance. It is my intention that as you read this book you will find yourself inspired by the realization that you can create the life you desire, and that you will be empowered by the use of the basic tools, strategies, and concepts contained within these pages.

This book is in your hands for a reason. You can begin to live a truly conscious lifeone that is filled with purpose and meaningright now. Starting today, you can begin to reconnect with your inner truth and wisdom. You can learn to trust your intuition, heighten your awareness, and honor your emotions. By simply trusting in the natural order of things, and by trusting in a higher power than yourself, you can learn to let go and begin living in a place of real faith, gratitude, and joy. As you make these changes, you will start to become increasingly aware of the miracles all around you; and the events in your life will begin to unfold in what seem like magical and mysterious ways.

Remember, you are inextricably connected to everyone and everything in the universe, including God. You always have been. At any given moment the universe is automatically responding to your every thought, feeling, and action. It has no choice; its simply the way things work. It acts as a mirror, reflecting back to you the very energy you project. The thoughts and energy that you send out into the universe will always attract back to you, in one form or another, things and experiences that match those thoughts and energy. This is the Law of Attraction at work in your life. It is a perfect example of this brilliantly designed universe in action, an immutable universal law. The Law of Attraction is the scientific explanation for coincidence, serendipity, and the power of prayer.
