what is considered a chronic illness

The Secret has been an inspiration to thousands of people and it really enhanced people’s awareness of the Law of Attraction.

One woman who had been suffering from chronic illness and excruciating pain for years used the underlying message of the secret – the power of the Law of Attraction when consciously used to our advantage to transform her life.

This is the story of Jenny Mannion who used the Law of Attraction to heal herself from chronic pain.

For nearly eight years Jennifer experienced chronic pain and was diagnosed and misdiagnosed on numerous occasions. She was in so much pain that at times she could barely walk. She went through a period when she was fainting almost weekly – sometimes in the shower.

Later, when she had children, her illness became an even bigger concern. It was such a struggle to care for her two beautiful children when she was struggling just to get through the day.

She suffered insomnia because of the excruciating pain and because she wasn’t getting sufficient sleep it impaired her body’s ability to heal itself. She lacked energy and vitality. It was a vicious cycle.

In her book, “How I Used the Law of Attraction to Heal Myself from Chronic Pain”, she says that:

“I was so sad and so aware of my pain every step I took. I was 36 and imagined I felt as a 96 year old would feel on a bad day.”

She endured scan after scan, blood test, after blood test. The doctors finally concluded that Jennifer had Benign Hypermobility Syndrome (BHMS) except that there was nothing benign about what this illness was doing to her body.

And the prognosis was not good – a lifetime of medication plus she might end up in a wheel chair. She was relieved to finally have a label to apply to what she had been experiencing but also devastated.

What’s more she realized that she had become her illness.

She was told that basically she would never regain her health and counselled to hold a small funeral to formally bid goodbye to her old self. She felt that she couldn’t sink any lower.

Then, something miraculous happened. A friend had suggested that Jennifer watch the movie “The Secret” and her husband bought the DVD for them to watch in Christmas 2006.

She was so exhausted from her illness that she couldn’t even watch the movie the whole way through the first time. The second viewing was more successful and by the end of the movie Jennifer made a decision. She decided that:

“I WILL heal myself of pain.”

And she did but what is so miraculous about Jennifer’s recovery is that having been ill for nearly eight years she was able to almost completely heal herself within a few short weeks. A critical factor in her recovery process was her realization that the body is continually renewing itself.

However, she had been focusing on her illness so much that the blueprint she was providing her mind was that of sick and disease-ridden body. She recognized that she had to provide her mind with a healthier blueprint to work from.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Wayne Dyer

She said that within days of shifting her focus she began to feel much better. If just her little finger was pain-free then she focused on that. She took it as evidence that her body was fundamentally healthy.

In fact, Jennifer devised an eight-step process for self-healing which she strictly adheres to.

“I had to keep myself immersed in the Law of Attraction teachings to not go back to my negative ways. I had to make time for self-reflection, meditation and learning no matter what else was demanding my time.”

She is aiming to use her system which has the acronym “PAGING ME” to help her ditch the last remaining drug that she still has to take.

Jennifer says that now she is able to accomplish more in a day than she used to be able to accomplish in a week and that her relationships with her husband and children have also been transformed.

Jennifer is living proof of the awesome potential of the Law of Attraction and that miracles can and do happen.
