• Underground Movie, The Secret, Makes it to the Oprah Winfrey Show!, 17199 North Laurel Park Drive, STE 424 Livonia MIchigan USA.
  Jack Canfield, Rhonda Byrne, Michael Beckwith and others talk about the life-changing movie on the February 8th episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Troy, MI – Oprah’s studio audience experienced an amazing show when she had some of the teachers from the movie, The Secret, on a panel to discuss the impact its message has had on them and millions of people around the world. The creator of the movie, Rhonda Byrne, says “The Secret is a philosophy that can help you create the life you want.” The Secret is based upon the law of attraction, which is the principle that "like attracts like." Rhonda calls it "the most powerful law in the universe," and says it is working all the time. "What we do is we attract into our lives the things we want, and that is based on what we're thinking and feeling," She is not alone in this belief as she was joined on Oprah’s show by just some of the scientists, authors, entrepreneurs and successful people who believe so strongly in The Secret. Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, is one of the teachers of The Secret and believes everything you focus on can have an effect on your life—from books to magazines to thoughts. "All of that affects how we feel, and the feelings actually send out a wave into the universe, and anything that's vibrating in a similar level gets attracted into our life," Jack says.* A local supporter of The Secret and founder of the National Real Estate Network, Mark Maupin, said, “People kept telling me to watch it and so I finally did. It was a complete eye-opener for me and each day I start with channeling my thoughts to where I want my life to go. Now I keep telling others to watch it!” Another founder of National Real Estate Network (http://www.megaeveningevent.com), Urvi Mehta said, “When my husband Janak and I watched the movie online we bought the DVD at the end of the movie. We couldn’t wait to watch it again. We have watched Secret over 6 times and showed it to more than 50 mentoring students and friends and family.” Urvi also mentioned that Law of Attraction really works and we are true believer in concept of “Ask and Universe Shall Provide”.
