Feel It Real!: A Guided Approach to Bringing the Law of Attraction Into Your Life

Coates, an actress, personal coach and author (Our Burden is Light) trained in reading and healing auras and chakras, has created a fun, intelligent guide to the Law of Attraction, an old idea revived by Rhonda Byrne's bestseller The Secret. Coates forgoes case histories and impractical theory in favor of learning by doing; more than half the text is devoted to 56 ""games to attract your desires"" (""Pick ten things to do for sheer pleasure""; perform anonymous good deeds; write out ""commands or 'orders' that you want the Universe to fulfill""). The Law of Attraction's premise is that people are constantly emitting vibrational signals through thoughts and feelings; by feeling and giving love, we can increase our positive vibrations and attract like frequencies, i.e. similarly-upbeat people and events. Simple questionnaires and visualization exercises provide a wide range of activities, so it's easy to find some homework that resonates. Even if the Universe doesn't respond with that sought-after job, lover or money, readers will still find many ways to learn about and empower themselves.
