The Secret to the Secret

Copyright 2007, Judith A. Swack, Ph.D.


Yes, the book and the movie the Secret (Rhonda Byrne, Atria Books) is right. The law of attraction that says you attract what you think is real. “Then why don’t I get what I ask for,” you might ask. It’s because you attract what you are consciously thinking, and you attract what you are unconsciously thinking. Since your unconscious mind has more power than your conscious mind, if the two aren’t in alignment, you attract what is in your unconscious mind.


I first learned about the law of attraction at the beginning of my training in the field of personal growth. The spiritually oriented trainer and therapist taught us that in order to manifest what you want you had to:


  • Decide clearly what you want,
  • ask for it out loud, and
  • heal your unconscious mind.

She also recommended that we not be too rigid about the form or way that our requests are answered because the universe can respond in many different and sometimes unexpected ways. “Be open to miracles,” she said.


Years later, when I developed Healing from the Body Level Up™ (HBLU™), an innovative and powerful mind/body/spirit healing methodology, I focused on the law of attraction. In addition to healing the unconscious mind, I discovered that you also need to heal at the body and soul levels. With HBLU, we start every session by asking the client’s deepest wisdom (soul) to set a goal. Then we find the patterns at the conscious, unconscious, body, and soul levels that are interfering with the goal and use effective healing techniques to clear these blocks to success.


Some of the most common issues we treat involve people having difficulty setting goals or deciding what they really want (heart’s desire). Others have trouble asking for what they need and want. Some people even have difficulty receiving what the universe sends them because they feel unworthy or selfish. By accessing one’s deepest wisdom, we can set clear goals, heal the unconscious self sabotage patterns, and manifest our desires.

Success Stories


Jennifer was doing very well financially and her career was right on track. Now she wanted more than anything to get married. When she first came for HBLU sessions she was dating two emotionally unavailable men. One man used drugs and the other was in graduate school out of state. After six months of healing negative relationship patterns and installing representations of a truly healthy marriage in the unconscious mind, she broke up with both of them. Just two weeks later, a man sitting behind her in a business seminar tapped her on the shoulder and told her she looked just like the girl of his dreams, the woman he always intended to marry. They discovered that they had a lot in common including their interest in personal growth. They were married six months later and have continued to grow and evolve together.


Maryanne had an infected tooth. A month on antibiotics had had no effect. She was due to have dental surgery to remove the tooth root the day after our scheduled appointment. When we asked her deepest wisdom if the priority goal was to heal the tooth, it said that the real goal was to free Maryanne from her dysfunctional family. Her suicidal sister, who had required hospitalization on several occasions, denied that there was ever anything wrong with her and ran away after her last hospitalization. Her drug addicted brother stole money from her and also disappeared. She hadn’t heard from either of them in five years. We found and cleared the major dysfunctional family pattern that was interfering on the goal. The next morning, Maryanne’s tooth infection was gone, and the perplexed dentist told her he didn’t need to operate. That afternoon, her sister called and told Maryanne she was ready to go back to the hospital for treatment of depression. The very same day her brother called and asked to visit Maryanne so he could begin to repair their relationship.


Sarah and her husband wanted to have a baby. After 1½ years of trying, the doctor told them that Sarah’s tubes were completely blocked. The only way to get pregnant was through in vitro fertilization. Sarah couldn’t believe that there was any real medical reason for the blocked tubes, so she suspected psychological reasons. We discovered a trauma from a betrayal by a previous boyfriend that was preventing Sarah from making a full commitment to her marriage and caused her body to spasm her tubes shut. Two weeks after we cleared the trauma, she was pregnant… the normal way. One drugstore pregnancy test, two blood tests, and an ultrasound later, her obstetrician still didn’t believe Sarah was pregnant. “That’s impossible,” she exclaimed. “Using two different tests, I saw for a fact with my own eyes that your tubes were blocked.” When Sarah offered to find another obstetrician, the doctor regained her composure and eventually delivered Sarah’s baby… the normal way.


HBLU™ helps people rapidly achieve the results they want to live full, happy, healthy, and satisfying lives. Maybe it can help you, too.

Copyright 2014 revised 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Three years ago, John’s blood sugar levels started to rise. Although John’s father and several other relatives had diabetes, John refused to believe he might really have a problem. Although his doctor had encouraged him to modify his diet and lose weight, John continued to eat whatever he wanted, not exercise, and stay fat. Now at age 52, his fasting blood sugar was 150 (normal is 70-99). When I asked him if he knew that he had diabetes, he told me that there was controversy over whether or not fasting blood glucose was a legitimate test for diabetes, and the medical establishment was now considering the A1C measurement as more accurate. So John got an A1C test, which also showed he was diabetic.

Copyright 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Jane was dating two men at once and having trouble deciding who to choose. She listed all of John’s wonderful qualities and all of Steven’s wonderful qualities and remarked, “If I could just put the two of them together I’d have the perfect man.” When asked why she didn’t just date one man who had everything, she said she was keeping one man as a backup because she didn’t feel safe with either one of them. Puzzled, I asked, “Why would you date, let alone marry, anyone you didn’t feel safe with? Clearly, you’ll never marry either of these men.” Jane simply looked astonished. Love is a beautiful thing. We all need to love and be loved. Sadly, many of us have been hurt by the people we love and who are supposed to love us. When that happens, we no longer feel safe, and we shut down the ability to give and receive love. The tragedy is that we can no longer feel loved or experience ourselves as loving beings. We no longer experience the nourishing flow of warm golden buttery energy that uplifts the heart/soul, connects us all, and soothes all pain. And everyone else we could be loving is robbed. According to the dictionary, the word “vulnerable” means open to attack. When someone says, “I’m afraid to be vulnerable” he/she should be afraid to be vulnerable, but he/she should not be afraid to be emotionally open, emotionally present, or emotionally close. Opening to give and receive love should not make one vulnerable. So what to do about it? With HBLU we acknowledge the fear and heal the traumas, dysfunctional family system and cultural brainwashing patterns that caused it. This allows people to reach out with their hearts and share one of the greatest gifts in life. If you or anyone you know would like to open your heart to love, get happily married, or improve your marriage or other relationships, HBLU methodology can help you.

Dear Judith, Of all the work we have done, of all the monumental healings and shifts you and your work has helped to facilitate in my life- this piece was the most hidden, the most perverse, the most subconscious- and was driving my life into oblivion. I could not live one more day enslaving myself to my family, being stuck in a loveless abusive marriage. I was exhausted and stuck begging G-d for a way out (any way out). Until you your work and my soul discovered that we needed to unblock my energy fields from using evil to seduce- by running a pathologically self-serving and self-absorbed seduction pattern. Here I was a slave to my family, doing everything, getting nothing- I was the last person self-serving. How did my soul and you even find this. At first I thought no… Until you pointed out that this is what Enneagram 4s do to get love. And it all clicked. This was the seduction. IF I enslave myself, I will get love- so it was all my agenda my mission- I was “doing everything for them” which was the illusion, the seduction I was under- but it was truly a manipulative pattern I ran to try to get love from everyone I could. Only to fail miserably- and to feel even worse. I felt powerless and stuck. Until you said those words…. And through your work- we prayed- and the seduction and illusion vanished. Poof just like that! I can’t believe this has all been me all this time. I WAS DESPERATE TO GET: Love, safety, approval, success and wealth and WORSHIP AND WORLD DOMINATION What I learned was that I created a pattern of need. Everyone had to need me- I had to do it all- so people would love me. Because deep inside I doubted they could just love me for me. And that I truly don’t have to do anything for love. And neither does anyone… And that I just give it up and teach my family to be self-sufficient so they DON'T NEED me and we can establish love for the sake of love. OR SCREW UP MY WHOLE FAMILY AND LIFE PERPETRATING EVIL BY BEING PATHOLOGICALLY SELFISH. Here are my learnings: I’m just another cog in the wheel and that’s ok. We all are working together. No one better or worse. There is no need to dominate just to do each of our missions. I was seduced into thinking I was so selfless and altruistic because I was working for what I thought “was everyone else’s good” but was really still what I thought- and my agenda I have been self-abusing all this time, putting myself last so I could get sympathy and love. I was acting like a victim and poor me to myself & failing because I got no sympathy gratitude or love… When we interviewed my husband - I sat still. It was the first time I could listen to him and learn. I was still - like air. Without an agenda. And It’s the first time I feel still. And my nervous system relaxed. The first time I’m not working to get something in every action. Today I put my agenda down. It feels so light and relaxing and freeing It’s all been one big undercover operation to get love shrouded in a mission to do for others so no one would ever find me out. That it was all about me. And it didn’t make sense until you said I was pathologically selfish and self-absorbed. Me? No!!!… oh my gosh yes…. And the shell around me shattered. I can relax and just be me for the first time in decades…. You and your work- Judith- I’m just in disbelief- after being in disbelief many times- you’ve changed my life. Thank you Thank you Thank you. You’re a true genius Judith. I can never thank you enough. You are my teacher my mentor and I’m so grateful to have been given you to guide me in this life. I only hope to help your work reach millions. All the Best! C. C. Life Coach
