Here’s a simple, step-by-step way to use Feeling is the Secret in practice, based on Neville’s own outline of law, sleep, and prayer. (Medium)

The core idea (in one line)
Your outer life is a reflection of your inner feeling.
Whatever you consistently feel as true impresses your subconscious and eventually shows up as your reality. (Cool Wisdom Books)

Step-by-step: How to “use” Feeling is the Secret
1. Decide what you actually want
Neville says the conscious mind chooses the idea; the subconscious mind brings it into form. (Medium)
• Pick one clear desire (health, money, relationship, specific result, etc.).
• Boil it down to a simple end result: “I am healthy,” “I am promoted,” “I am happily married,” etc.
• You are not figuring out how it happens—only what the fulfilled state is.
________________________________________
2. Turn inward: recognize consciousness as the cause
The book starts by saying consciousness is the only reality, and your world is that consciousness objectified. (Scribd)
• Accept (even just as an experiment) that inner state → outer experience.
• This shifts you from “trying to force things outside” to “working with your inner feeling.”
________________________________________
3. Enter a drowsy, relaxed state (“state akin to sleep”)
Neville puts a lot of emphasis on sleep and the moments before sleep because that’s when the conscious guard relaxes and the subconscious is most open. (Medium)
You can do this:
• At night as you fall asleep.
• In a deep relaxation/meditation during the day.
The goal:
• Body relaxed, breathing slow.
• Mind quieter, less chatter.
• You feel a bit dreamy/drowsy, not fully alert.
________________________________________
4. Build a short imaginal scene of the wish fulfilled
Feeling is impressed through imagination. The scene is just a symbol that your desire is already done. (Cool Wisdom Books)
Pick a simple scene that:
• Happens after your desire is fulfilled (not “trying” to get it).
• Involves your senses (what you see, hear, maybe touch).
• Is short and repeatable (a few seconds long).
Examples:
• A friend congratulating you: “I’m so happy you got the job.”
• You checking your phone and seeing your bank balance.
• You hugging someone in gratitude.
________________________________________
5. Feel it as real now
This is the heart of the book: feeling is the medium that imprints the subconscious. (Cool Wisdom Books)
As you run your little scene:
• Put yourself inside it, not watching from outside.
• Feel the emotion you would naturally feel if it were already true: relief, gratitude, pride, joy, peace.
• Don’t strain; gently accept it as a fact.
Neville’s point:
It’s not the words or pictures alone that matter; it’s whether you emotionally accept the scene as reality right now.
________________________________________
6. Fall asleep in that feeling (or rest in it)
If you’re doing this at night, let yourself drift off to sleep while still feeling that the wish is fulfilled.
If you’re doing it during the day, come out of the exercise slowly, trying to carry some of that feeling with you. (Medium)
The idea:
The last feeling before sleep is what the subconscious “takes home” and works on.
________________________________________
7. During the day, guard your inner conversations
Neville stresses that the subconscious expresses what the conscious mind feels to be true, not just what it briefly visualizes. (Reddit)
So during the day:
• Notice when you mentally argue against your desire:
o “This never works for me.”
o “I’m still broke / sick / alone.”
• Gently refuse to dwell on those feelings.
• Shift back toward the inner stance of “It’s done,” even if outer facts haven’t changed yet.
You don’t have to be perfect—just more loyal to the feeling of the wish fulfilled than to appearances.
________________________________________
8. Wish others well
Neville also warns against using this law in a negative way—what you wish or feel for others reflects back on you. (Reddit)
So as a practical step:
• Catch yourself when you indulge in envy, resentment, or ill-will.
• Instead, feel for others what you’d want for yourself (freedom, peace, success, etc.).
This keeps your own subconscious “climate” clean.

Quick checklist you can actually use
When you want to apply Feeling is the Secret to anything:
1. Define the end – What’s the already-done result?
2. Relax – Get drowsy/quiet (ideal: before sleep).
3. Imagine a short scene that implies it’s already done.
4. Feel it as real now – live inside that moment.
5. Drift off or rest in that feeling.
6. In daily life, stay loyal to that inner reality more than to outer appearances.
7. Wish good for others, as you’d wish for yourself.
If you’d like, tell me one specific thing you want to apply this to, and I can help you turn it into a custom “Neville-style” imaginal scene and feeling practice.
Nice goal. Let’s plug Feeling is the Secret straight into that:
“My website earns $500/day.”
I’ll walk you through it in Neville-style steps and then give you a sample script you can actually use.
________________________________________
1. Define the end as already done
Neville would have you pick a simple, finished state, not a wish.
Instead of:
• “I want to earn $500/day.”
Use something like:
• “My website brings in $500/day consistently.”
• “I’m calm and stable at $500/day.”
You’re not asking how yet. You’re choosing the end result.
Write one sentence that feels right to you and stick with it.
________________________________________
2. Create a short scene that PROVES it’s true
You need a tiny mental “movie” that could only be true if you were already making $500/day.
For example:
• You open your analytics / ad network / Stripe dashboard.
• You see “Yesterday: $512.40” on the screen.
• You feel that little wave of relief and normalcy, like, “Yep, that’s my new baseline.”
• Maybe a friend or family member says, “Wow, you’re at $500 a day now? That’s amazing.”
Key points:
• Make it short (5–10 seconds).
• Make it after the fact (not “trying” to get to $500/day, but already there).
• Include feeling: relief, safety, pride, gratitude, calm.
________________________________________
3. Use it in the “state akin to sleep”
Do this mainly:
• At night as you fall asleep, and/or
• When you’re very relaxed during the day.
Steps:
1. Lie down or sit comfortably.
2. Let your body relax, breathe slower, loosen your jaw, etc.
3. Let your mind get a bit dreamy, not sharp and analytical.
Then:
4. Start your little scene.
5. See it from your own eyes (not watching yourself from outside).
6. Loop it slowly a few times.
Example of what’s happening in your head:
You see your laptop screen.
The dashboard shows “Revenue yesterday: $512.40”.
You smile. You exhale. You think, “It feels good that this is normal now.”
You feel that calm, secure feeling in your chest.
Keep going until the feeling of “this is my life now” settles a bit.
If it’s at night, let yourself drift to sleep while still inside that feeling.
________________________________________
4. Shift your inner conversations during the day
This part is huge.
Right now, your inner talk might be things like:
• “This is taking forever.”
• “What if I never get real traffic?”
• “$500/day is too big for me.”
Neville would say: those feelings are still impressing the subconscious.
So during the day:
• When you notice that kind of thought, don’t fight it aggressively.
• Just quietly replace it with something that matches your end state, e.g.:
o “I’m on my way to $500/day.”
o “My site is becoming a solid earner.”
o “Of course this is working out for me.”
You’re training your baseline feeling from “struggling webmaster” to “calm business owner whose site pays $500/day.”
________________________________________
5. Let the feeling guide your actions (this is how it ties to reality)
Neville never said, “Do nothing.”
From the state of the wish fulfilled, you’ll be moved to act differently.
So ask yourself from the end:
“If my website was already making $500/day, how would I behave with it?”
You might find answers like:
• “I’d be consistent with content because I know it pays off.”
• “I’d improve my monetization instead of endlessly tweaking colors.”
• “I’d focus on email list, offers, and pages that actually convert.”
• “I’d track my numbers like a real business.”
Then actually do those things.
You’re not forcing action from panic.
You’re expressing the new inner identity through smart, practical steps.

6. A ready-to-use Neville-style script for you
Here’s a simple script you can literally use tonight.
Before sleep
1. Get into bed, lie on your back or side.
2. Take a few slow breaths. Let your body go heavy.
3. In your mind, start this scene:
You’re sitting at your desk.
You open your earnings dashboard (Ads, affiliate, Stripe—pick what fits you).
The screen clearly shows “Yesterday: $523.70” and “Last 7 days avg: $502/day.”
You feel your shoulders drop as you think, “I love that this is steady now.”
You move your hand and close the laptop.
As you stand up, you feel that mix of gratitude and calm confidence: “This site takes care of me.”
4. Keep running that scene slowly, feeling it each time.
5. If words pop in, keep them simple and final, like:
o “Thank you.”
o “This is normal for me now.”
o “I love that this website earns $500/day.”
6. Let yourself drift off while still lightly in that feeling.
During the day
• When you catch “This isn’t working” → gently swap to:
“It is working. The numbers are catching up to the work I’ve done.”
• Before working on the site, take 15–30 seconds to re-feel that end state:
o Imagine opening your dashboard again.
o Feel that “$500/day is normal” calm.
o Then start your tasks from that energy.
________________________________________
7. What to expect (realistically)
Using Neville’s approach:
• You’re training your identity from “hoping” to “owner of a $500/day site.”
• That shifts:
o What you notice (you see more opportunities).
o What you choose to work on (better priorities).
o How long you stick with things (more consistency, less panic).
It’s not a magic button, but it is a powerful way to align your inner state + daily actions toward that $500/day goal.
________________________________________
If you’d like, tell me:
• What your site currently earns (roughly), and
• What the main monetization is (ads, affiliate, products, services),
and I can help you design one or two $500/day-aligned action plans that fit with this Neville approach—so your imagination and your strategy are pulling in the same direction.
