You've heard Anne talk about this nearly every time she opens her mouth. How, you MUST NOT talk about things because when you do, it gives energy (usually negative energy) to them and diffuses the positive energy.
Well, here are two recent examples of how talking about something makes things worse and how NOT talking makes things better.
Event 1 - How Talking made things worse:
I have a very good friend whose husband is a very healthy, active and energetic man.
About 2 1/2 weeks ago he developed an infection in the bursa outside his knee (it's a sac outside the knee, not within the joint- that matters because although it's bad, it's not as bad as an infection within the joint).
He eventually ended up in the hospital and they had to operate to drain the infection. The doctor felt it was MRSA (the infection that's in the news so much lately) and he was on the appropriate antibiotics which are very strong. But after the first surgery he seemed to be doing ok. He would require a second surgery though to remove the drain. He looked like he was doing ok. And being a healthy guy he should bounce back quickly.
However, his wife has been telling everyone around the country (all their friends and relatives)all the details and about how bad it is and how much pain he had (expected after surgery). She said the exact same things with a doomsday expression, over and over again. Oh, and her children (adults with some medical knowledge) were just as negative.
Unfortunately, the bad stuff happened. When he was supposed to be discharged, they discovered that he had two blood clots in that leg so he needed some additional treatment and had developed significant pain in the leg. But, they did discharge him.
My friend (who, by the way, is not "into" metaphysics at all) continued to tell everyone the worst and how the doctors had told them that this had never happened in all the surgeries he'd done etc...almost as if they were proud that he seemed unique (he may have been unique but not in the way they think - she was proving this concept of the Law of Attraction).
The next day he spiked a fever and they didn't have a positive experience with one of the doctors on the phone so that became part of the story. Then they took him to the ER and finally after a long stay and many tests, they found that he had a blood clot in his lungs. Another thing that my friend was "proud" of - she was right and the doctor was wrong.
How do I know she was saying the same thing over and over again. Well, I was with her as we waited for her husband to have his first surgery, She was on the phone with EVERYONE and saying the exact same thing. Then, when I wasn't home when she wanted me to be to come over and look at him (I was chastised for that too..go figure) she emailed me what happened and then when i called the next night, she told me the EXACT same thing - play by play!
He's still having major problems and not improving. Last night I was at the basketball game and texted her to let her know where I was, she told me his leg was "killing him" - I immediately texted back "Please don't say it that way."
I know that her constant discussion of how "bad" things were is what has made his get worse and worse. And she's not really amenable to understanding what she's doing.
This is the most dramatic example I have ever personally come across to exemplify what Anne teaches.
Please pay attention!
Event 2 -How keeping things to yourself puts energy where it should be - this has been going on simultaneously with Event 1
As I've alluded to several times recently there's been a significant event going on in my life. I have talked about it to NO ONE (the first time in my life). I asked Anne for an affirmation in the beginning and she gave me one. Every time I thought about the event, I caught myself and said the affirmation. I must have said that about 5000 in the past 2 months. I NEVER got myself down about it at all. I turned it over to the person most appropriate to handle it (the expert) and went about my business.
There were times, of course, when I had anxiety, but I would not let it stay with me, I did something else and said my affirmation (very short one) until my mind was on the affirmation and not the anxiety.
But amazingly, there were days that went by when I didn't even think about it at all. This is unbelievable for me, the worry wart (the FORMER worry wart that is..LOL). I had put my faith in the Universe to handle it.
Friday (the day after my friend's husband had the blood clot in his lung) was the final meeting regarding my issue. It was taken care of completely by the expert (no, it wasn't Anne) - I had to do.....NOTHING. She took care of everything. Flew here to San Antonio, had the meeting, and flew back. Never even bothered me with anything. And it came out amazingly favorably for me - something that a year ago would never have occurred because i would have been like my neighbor and told everyone about my woes...
I must tell you that this was THE most phenomenal experience in my entire life - even more than bringing my long lost brother back into my life.
Please take these two examples and draw your own conclusions. I know they have happened side by side in my life to demonstrate The LAW to me - it's one thing to read about it, it's one thing to hear about it in others' lives, but it's totally another thing to have it happen to you!

I have been affirming that I want more acknowledgment and appreciation. To my complete surprise my husband, who always thought housework was simply for women, began to help around the house!
