Manifestation isn't magic—it's a skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered. In this illuminating session, I take you inside a powerful class I taught years ago that breaks down the three essential steps from "The Secret" that most readers miss or misunderstand.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly attract what they want while others struggle despite positive thinking? The difference lies in understanding that manifestation is a precise science with specific components that must work together. Through clear examples and relatable analogies, I reveal why simply wanting something isn't enough—and how you might be unconsciously manifesting exactly what you don't want through everyday phrases like "I'm not a morning person."

The first step—asking with crystal clarity—requires more detail than most people realize. When placing your cosmic order, vague requests get vague results. The second step—belief—demands the same unquestioning confidence you have when ordering from Amazon. But it's the third step—receiving—that contains the revolutionary insight most people miss: you must emotionally align with how you'd feel if you already had what you desire.

This practical approach transforms manifestation from mysterious concept to daily practice. I recommend spending weeks mastering each step before moving to the next, creating a strong foundation for lasting results. Rather than working harder from a place of frustration, discover why taking breaks to elevate your emotional state might be the most productive action you can take.

Ready to stop accidentally manifesting what you don't want and start consciously creating the life you desire? Listen now for the straightforward process that 30 million readers might have missed.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Today we're going to do something really special.
I'm going to take you into aclass that I did on three steps
on how to manifest things inyour life.
This was a class that I didyears ago, but it's really
powerful and it's based on thebook the Secret.
The Secret has three steps andwhen people read the Secret they

(01:27):
get all excited about it, butI'm not sure they really
understand the steps.
So today, in this quick 20minute class that I'm going to
play for you, think how you canapply this in your life and just
practice one step at a time.
I'm going to lay out the threesteps today, but spend a week,

(01:49):
two weeks, three weeks justworking on step number one and
then go to step number two Onlyafter step number one seems
clear, and when that seems clear, you go on to step three.
This is a practice.
This is imperfection.
We get better by practicing.
We get better by listening.
So enjoy this presentation.

(02:10):
Today I wanted to give you agift, so here's a gift.
Just enjoy this gift.
You deserve it.
We're going to talk about atopic that sold 30 million books
.
The secret sold 30 millionbooks because it was the secret
to manifesting and getting thethings that we want in our life.

(02:33):
Does anyone own that book?
A little more than half.
How many people believe that wecan manifest something we can
create?
Everyone's got their hands up.
Paul has two hands up.
Tell me why you raised yourhand.
Why do you believe that we can?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
It's happened in the past.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It's happened in the past.
You thought of something andthen it happened.
It showed up.
Anyone else?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
We're always manifesting.
It depends on your vibrations.
If you don't want it and youthink about it, it's bound to
happen.
It happened to me in the pastand I'd switch it to the other
side.
I prefer this side much betterthan that side, but both ways
work.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
We're manifesting all the time when we don't get what
we want.
We're manifesting that.
Do we agree with that?
Yeah, Everyone's speaking theirheads.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I used to say oh, I'm not a morning person.
You're never going to be amorning person if you speak that
over yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's a great example, david you are
manifesting.
I am not a morning person, andevery time you wake up you're
certainly not a morning person.
It's proof that it works.
When we're speaking, we reallyhave to pay close attention to
the words that are coming out ofour mouth.
I am not a morning person, notthinking anything of it, not

(03:55):
being aware of what he just said, what just came out of his
mouth, but what he's doing ishe's essentially saying I'm
manifesting, moving forward.
Then I'll wake up in themorning and I'm going to be
tired and not have the energy.
That makes sense to everyone.
So the words that come out ofthe mouth are really important.
So there are three steps tomanifesting.

(04:20):
Number one is ask what doesthat mean?
Anyone have an idea?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Getting clear on what it is that you actually want.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Getting clear on what you want.
Amen, tell me what you want ina relationship.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Somebody I could trust with mutual respect.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Someone I could trust with mutual respect.
If we're placing an order, isthat enough information for the
universe to understand what tosend to us?
No, this is what most of us do.
So what do you think the bestway to get clear on figuring out
what we want in any area of ourlife?
It could be relationship, itcould be business, it could be

(05:04):
health.
What's the best way for us toget clear?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Ask somebody that knows about what you want.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
So, for example, if you want a good relationship,
you could go and talk to themand get some feedback to figure
out what would be the best thingfor a relationship Someone that
actually has a successfulrelationship.
They don't really fight thatmuch, they're happy.
They seem loving and caring.
That's good.
How else can we get clear onwhat we want?

(05:32):
Any ideas?

Speaker 4 (05:35):
You have to do the self-evaluation.
You have to sit down and clearyour mind.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
See what tugs into your mind.
So sit down, get clear, open up, ask the questions and then
just pay attention to what comesup.
Anyone else?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Maybe writing it out, getting really specific, then
go back to it off there.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Why would it be so important to write down what we
want?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
It makes it not only to have it in your head, you
have it down on paper, yeah, andthen editing, create a fantasy
world, because your dream has tobecome a reality.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
You're saying to the universe here's what I want.
When you go to a sandwich shopand they have all kinds of
sandwiches, do you just say, hey, I want a sandwich?
What would be his first thingout of his mouth?
What kind of sandwich do youwant?
There's a million sandwiches Ican give you.

(06:32):
If you don't get clear, I willgive you one of this, and it
might not be the one that youreally like.
So, step one we're going to ask, and when we ask, we have to
have clarity.
The way that we get clarity isreally simple Take a piece of
paper and write down what do wewant?

(06:54):
So, for example, if I'm writingout the kind of woman that I
wanted to have in my life, Iwant someone that's caring,
someone that's loving, someonethat has dark long hair and has
dark skin.
This is the truth and I wroteit all out.
If we can ask for what we wantwhich we can, and we can
manifest what we want why not beas detailed and ask for

(07:16):
whatever it is that we reallywant, and then we'll get it?
But if we don't get clearenough, what can happen?

Speaker 4 (07:26):
It can go a bunch of different ways.
It can go where you get nothing, we don't get to get something
that you don't like, and if youkeep getting that, so be
specific, take action.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
We have to be as specific as possible.
Now we take out a piece ofpaper, you start writing Do you
have to finish it right then?
And there?
No, even if you spent a week onit.
And then you say to yourselfno-transcript.

(08:10):
This step is so importantbecause when we get clear on
what we want, the universe getsreally clear.
Write it down, be crystal clear, use as many details as
possible.
If you don't write it down,it's not clear, and then you may
get what you asked for, butit's not going to be exactly

(08:31):
what you wanted because youweren't clear enough.
Step two is believe I can writethis amazing list.
David decides he's going towrite the woman of my dreams on
a piece of paper.
He writes it out, he's got it,but then he doesn't really
believe that this can work.
Will it ever work?
No, he'll manifest exactly whathe believes.

(08:56):
If he doesn't believe that thiswill work, it will not work,
period.
How many of you had thatexperience?
And then it never shows up.
Everyone's raising their handbecause that's what happens.
How do we believe that what wejust wrote on that paper can
actually happen in our life?

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Maybe visualizing it vividly so that it seems like
it's real.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, this is a great point, because if we're
visualizing it, we're keeping itin our mind and the
subconscious sees everythingthat's presented to it as real.
If you're doing that enough,will the subconscious mind begin
to believe that is actuallytrue and that can happen.
Repetition is the key.
What will we start to imaginein our mind, rather than that

(09:47):
thing we wrote on paper?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
This is never going to happen.
It's just always going to meetthe same crazy women.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Jeffrey, it's funny you're saying that, but isn't
that true?
Haven't we said that in thepast?
I know I have in the past I'vesaid this out loud.
I just seem to attract this.
When we say something.
We have to really monitor whatwe're saying, because our words
are super powerful.
We can visualize the scene aswe want it.

(10:16):
If we wrote it in enough detail, we should absolutely be able
to have an image of what thatlooks like in our head.
That's one thing that we can doto get our subconscious to
believe that this is true andthis can happen.
What else do you think we coulddo to get our belief to be
solid?

Speaker 4 (10:35):
One of the things that I'm doing is watching the
videos of Greece, looking attour groups and putting it in my
mind that I'm going to be there.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
If it's a physical thing, like a car or a trip, you
can go on that trip in yourmind by watching a video as if
you're there, and pretending inyour head that you're there.
That's you and your videofootage of the trip.
If you watch that enough, yoursubconscious mind does what it

(11:05):
believes it Nate, we're going onthat trip, it's happening.
The belief is key.
So we get really clear.
But if you don't believe it canhappen, aren't you manifesting
what you don't believe?
Before you started studyingthis stuff, weren't you walking
around on autopilot?
Life was just happening.
We are becoming more and moreaware, and it's the awareness

(11:30):
that is where the power lies.
If I notice I've written downwhat I want and I start not
believing it, and I'm aware thatI'm not believing it.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Refocus on what you want.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Just refocus and don't beat yourself up.
There's no reason we have toget upset with ourselves for
slipping.
If you slip, get back up.
How many times did you fall thevery first time you went ice

(12:07):
skating?
Your arms are flailing, yourlegs are all over the place, but
then get back up and you keepdoing it and then you get better
.
We're consistently practicingand getting better at this every
single day.
I'm getting better each andevery day.
When it comes to belief, howabout the thoughts that we're
thinking consistently?

(12:28):
What type of thought should webe thinking when we're believing
this thing?
We wrote on the paper.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Positive or powering thoughts.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Why can't we say, if you believe in God or a higher
power, god's got my back, he'sgoing to take care of me.
This is happening, period, theend.
That's belief.
How many people have orderedsomething from Amazon?
Everyone.
When you click the button thatsays buy, do you start to get
worried about whether or notit's going to get delivered to

(12:58):
you?

Speaker 4 (12:59):
I don't even give it a second thought.
I trust the process.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Great point, you trust the process.
How many packages out of ahundred are late?
It hardly ever happens.
Imagine that when you placeyour order from the universe,
what if we did it the same way?
We wouldn't second guess.
If you order a pizza from thelocal pizza place, you're not

(13:27):
going to be hanging up the phoneand saying, oh my God, I wonder
when they're going to deliverit.
Do you think the guy's going toget into an accident?
Do you think he's going to makeit here?
What happens if he gets a flattire?
But that's what we're doing.
When we try to get what we wantin our own life, we're coming
up with all these crazy reasons.
Is it possible to have the samebelief as when we order

(13:50):
something from Amazon?
That's the belief I want you tohave.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
The universe wants you to continue having faith,
not losing the faith, becausethe universe is never going to
give you a delivery date.
I always say this FedEx iscoming with my package.
I just don't know when.
Not only am I visualizing it,what I do now is I write this
out.
This is the second time I addedsomething else.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
To get our belief stronger.
We can visualize, we can thinkabout it, we can say I trust
that the universe and God has myback Always, has, always will.
There's not a time in my lifewhere I've looked back where
things didn't work out the waythey were supposed to.
So I'm going to trust that andI'm going to just keep living my

(14:38):
life with this picture in myhead.
That is getting clear.
Believing.
Step three seems simple.
Step three is receive Receivethe package.
But it's not such a simplething.
But it's not such a simplething.
Does anyone have any idea whatstep three receive really means?

(15:00):
How do you receive it?
It's in transit.
How do we get in line with itso that it comes to us even
faster and we receive it?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
When you're focusing on gratitude, how do you
typically feel You're in ahigher vibration.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
You're feeling good, you're feeling happy, you're
feeling peaceful, ready for thissecret.
Think about that thing that youwant, whether it's the person,
the job, the business, the body.
How would you feel if youalready have that thing, if it

(15:42):
came to you and you got it andit just was delivered?
How would you feel You'd be?

Speaker 4 (15:46):
happy You'd feel at peace because you got it.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Nate just said happy and peaceful, and I think we're
going to see a theme here.
If you got what you wanted,what would you feel?
Relieved and satisfied,relieved and satisfied.
So, when you're satisfied,you're feeling peaceful and
you're feeling happy.
Interesting they polled tons ofpeople and they wanted to find

(16:12):
out what's the one emotion youwant to experience the most.
And you know what it is.
I just want to be.
I just want to be happy If thatthing that we want is up here.
We'd feel happy if we had thatthing.

(16:32):
And this is us right here andwe're not feeling happy.
And now the package istraveling to us.
Is it going to get to us?
We're not on the same road,we're on a completely different
highway.
What if I'm just happy ingeneral and now I'm feeling

(16:52):
happy?
Where am I now?
Am I on the same road?
Is that FedEx truck now in mypath?
But then I get pissed off andangry.
Is the FedEx truck in the samepath now?
No, in order to receive what wewant, we must feel the emotion

(17:20):
that this thing is going tobring us on a consistent basis.
If happiness is one of thosethings that we would need to
feel.
What do you need to do to feelhappy in your life?
Think of the simplest thingthat makes you happy.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I enjoy traveling exploring you mean if it's a
local hike.
There it is your life.
Think of the simplest thingthat makes you happy.
I enjoyed traveling.
Exploring, you mean if it's alocal hike there it is,
traveling, exploring a localhike.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
So you're not feeling good, you're having a bad day.
What should you do rather thankeep going in your bad day?

Speaker 2 (17:56):
you know, get outdoors for me going in your
bad day get out, get outdoors.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
for me, get out and go for a walk and do hiking and
local exploring.
Now you're on the path, You'rewalking down the road and look
who you meet right here.
Had you kept going down herenot feeling good, you guys would
have passed.
Understand that the way that wefeel is very important.

(18:24):
We don't have to have thatthing to feel happy.
We don't have to have thatperson to feel love.
What else could you do to feelhappy?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
What I've done lately is I love I put stuff in the
backyard.
I love when we eat dinner, foreven we had breakfast back here
last night and I've been workingout here all day.
So for me, our backyard, I havereally made it into a sanctuary
.
This is my, the happy place.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Do you see how Yvette just went from here to here?
Because if we're not in linewe're going to miss it.
The FedEx truck's just going tokeep going around.
When you read the Secret, didyou understand it like that when
you read it?
No, that's the beauty of thebook.
Someone will say I read thatbook.
That was a great book.

(19:10):
How are you using it?
And that's the whole purpose ofthis, so we can use it to help
us get what we want.
If you're already have thatthing that you want, it's
feeling happy.
If you're in a relationship,you're going to feel happy.
If you have your own business,you're going to feel happy.
If your body looks good, you'regoing to feel happy.

(19:33):
Happiness is the key.
Could you also just put on aquick video which makes you
laugh and that makes you feelhappy and it takes you from here
to here.
My suggestion to you all don'tcontinue to work at this level
down here.
You're better off leaving theoffice for the day if you have

(19:55):
your own business.
Sometimes you can't do that ifyou're working for someone else.
You're better off taking timeto get here.
We think if I just work harderI'll get that thing.
That's bull.
It's not true.
You can work all day long.
If you're not up here, you'renever going to intersect with

(20:15):
the thing that you want.
Up here, you're never going tointersect with the thing that
you want.
I'm gonna make more calls and Ifeel like crap, but I'm just
gonna get on the calls.
They're not gonna lead toanything, but at least at the
end of the day I'll say hey, Imade a lot of calls, haven't we
done?
I've done it.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I need to create my own fun.
So when I spread, it wasn'twith anybody, it was just by
myself, because my screenlistened to a little comedy
sketch, because I was, Irealized, a pretty stressed out
place when work and I needed tostart living at it worked great.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
It worked because you went from here to up here and
again, it's just a matter ofdoing something that's going to
make you feel better.
It's simple Make a list of thefive simple things that I can do
going for a walk, whatever theyare, that make me feel happy.
And when you're not feelinghappy, don't do it, because

(21:06):
you're just going to be wastingyour time and then go get happy
and then come and do your work.
It works.
If you work, it Keep it simpleand if you start using it and
you have a problem and you havea question, then reach out and I
will help you through it.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
