She's referring to the book "The Secret" which is based on the laws of attraction. In essence, how we think is what we manifest. The author is Rhonda Byrne. It's a short book (and also a movie), and a good read.
There are plenty of authors who write about the laws of attraction, so read away!

Gineen, in case you're reading this, pay attention. It ties to what I wrote on your thread. I'm a firm believer in the laws of attraction.
In fact, it is a practice I use to bring business my way. I spend time before bed keeping a gratitude journal, and spend a lot of time visualizing (ok maybe it's daydreaming lol) business coming my way. My big project this year is directly tied to that manifestation. While it isn't enough to sustain me long term, it was the answer to my prayers and is allowing me to be a little creative to bring in more business. I got 2 orders on Thursday and am getting a nice order on Monday as well.
It's not a magic bullet but more along the lines of waking up each day and going to bed each night knowing I have enough for the moment. I'd really make a poor nun in the little sisters of the poor or poor Claire's order... They pray for the money and resources they need each day. I'm not THAT good or happy living in the moment!
Anyway, once you practice this technique, it makes it much more natural to feel as though you're going to get what you need and want.
A few months ago I wrote my company an imaginary check for $3M. One day I'm going to see that. Then I'm buying drinks for all of us!!!
I didn't declutter today but cleaned my house from top to bottom. I feel better about that. Now I need to pack for D16, who is going camping with her dad tomorrow morning for a few days. I get a couple days to regroup and get her back Tuesday night. Sweet Stuff is coming over after church tomorrow but I don't know what we're doing yet. I'm not really caring what we do, either. Wednesday evening, my oh-so-hot cop friend is taking me to the baseball game. He's so much fun, and I'm excited he asked me to go. It's a fireworks game to boot! For the record, he's gay, so there is no monkey business here. It certainly doesn't hurt me to go with a hot guy who packs heat...
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

I have this great book that has good concrete information on how to manifest things into your life: The Vision Board: The Secret to An Extraordinary Life by Joyce Schwarz ISBN: 978-0-06-157908-0
The other thing that I am a big believer of is feng shui. Books by Lillian Too on this subject are really helpful. I also hired a feng shui consultant to help me with my house. You could have one for your office to bring more financial abundance into your business.
I read a great story about manifesting your wishes into reality. When Jim Carrey was a poor struggling actor just starting out in the business, he climbed a hill somewhere in Hollywood and he pulled out a check he had written to himself for $20 million dollars from his back pocket. Then, I think, it was Mask that he finally hit his first $20 million paycheck.

Sorry Gunny! I've been out 'manifesting' my perfect man on match.com and trying to catch BA on the number of dates in one week.
I make a vision board every Jan. and I look at it often. The focus is really on me and what I want to draw into my life. I imagine that amazing person in my space for 10-15 minutes every day. But, that's about it. The rest of the day I'm busy doing what I want to do!
