Hi
Welcome to another edition of Magnetic News.
I hope you have been attracting a terrific life!
I mentioned in the last issue of Magnetic News about
signing up for my blog, the Law of Attraction Blog. I update this
blog daily.
I've been thinking.........Some of you might not have heard of blogs
or you might not understand what they are and how to access them.
Let me take a few minutes to give you an overview. Once you know
how, you can then sign up for as many blogs as you want. Blogs are
big-time happenings on the net nowadays.
The Law of Attraction Blog is where I mostly publish new articles
from around the internet, relating to the Law of Attraction and
similar topics. I also list new resources that I find that I think
will be of interest to you.
In order to read this blog, you need an RSS aggregator. When you
go to http://Law-of-Attraction-Info.com
you need a browser to view the site. When you want to read a blog,
you use an RSS aggregator. Two different file formats using two
different applications to view them. That's all it is. An RSS aggregator
is an application that allows you to subscribe to blogs and RSS
feeds, displays the latest content and lets you view it.
One option you have is just to download one to your computer and
install it. You can find one here: http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/
It's for Macs and Windows users. And it's free.
If you don't want to download an application, there
are free web-based services you can use.
Here's a couple:

Just subscribe to the ones you want, hopefully mine included :)

Now, on with the show.............
I love to think about and read articles on the topic of wealth.
In this issue, I've included two great articles on wealth.
Let's begin
Building Wealth: It's An Inside Job –
Part 1
By Chuck Cox
Whenever we read about building wealth or even attend
a seminar for that purpose, we usually begin by assessing our present
financial status. We’re asked to calculate our assets and
liabilities followed by a determination of where we’d like
to be in a certain period of time. Being armed with this data along
with assessing our present earning and saving power, we then set
out to structure our financial goals. Although we try to be realistic,
we still want to stretch ourselves a little bit – after all,
that’s one of the purposes of setting goals, isn’t it?
To achieve more than we normally would if we didn’t have goals
in the first place. And also, goals are supposed to give us direction.
So when actually seeking out these new financial goals, many of
us fall dreadfully short. What happened? Did we not work hard enough
or just plan poorly? Maybe, but it’s probably much deeper
than that. One tactic that many goal-setting gurus use to get more
mileage out of setting goals is to find out WHY we want a certain
goal. This certainly helps us get more leverage on achieving our
goal, but to many people money is much more complicated than that.
Money represents our upbringing and our culture. To some of us,
money represents bad memories of parents arguing or watching our
families suffer for the lack of it, while others may view money
as only a tool and seem to have no problem accumulating it in their
bank accounts. These financial memories have created mental roadblocks
for many of us when it comes to making money. Thus, if we want to
build wealth, we have to go one step further and determine our personal
level of prosperity consciousness.
If we’re curious about our present level of prosperity consciousness,
we need only take a critical look at our own lives. Our homes, our
jobs, our bank accounts will all quickly tell us where we are in
terms of prosperity - like it or not - our surroundings are simply
the results of our thoughts and actions. Our level of satisfaction
can be linked to the distance between where we are and where we
want to be. However, two people with identical distances will almost
always have different levels of satisfaction, and these satisfaction
levels are linked to their personal levels of prosperity consciousness.
Here’s something to ponder. What if everyone in the world
were to throw all their riches into one big pile and then split
all that wealth equally among everyone in the world? In a few years,
who would then emerge as being wealthy and poor? Most people feel
that very little would change – that the same people would
most likely become wealthy and poor again. This assessment speaks
volumes about prosperity consciousness.
So what if we’re unhappy with our present level of prosperity
consciousness, how do we change it? The answer is that we have to
start getting comfortable with more prosperity coming into our lives.
There are some simple things that we can start doing today which
will dramatically increase our levels of prosperity over time. Bear
in mind that these actions are not instantaneous – they’ll
need some time to yield results.
1) Use Written Affirmations –
It sounds elementary, but this little trick actually
works. Simply write down your affirmation 20 times each morning
and each evening. We should choose an affirmation that suits our
particular situation and prosperity level. To find out where to
begin, start with this one: “I deserve to be wealthy”.
Does it make you feel uncomfortable when you write it down? If so,
that’s a sign that you probably need to use that one or something
similar. You could also try this one: “I am bringing more
and more wealth into my life each day.” Play around with words
and see how they make you feel. If you’re too outrageous,
your subconscious will reject the idea, so you want something that
makes you feel slightly anxious or uncomfortable. Continue using
your affirmation for 30 days and then start using a different affirmation.
The next affirmation should be a natural building block on the previous
one. The key to affirmations is to be persistent and not give up
on them because they seem ineffective, repetitive, and boring. The
fact is that you NEED to be doing them when they become repetitive
and boring. Remember that you’re trying to undo years of mental
programming and repetition is required.
2) Visualize The Outcome –
Put pictures of financial goals in your mind and view
them routinely. The best times for these visualizations are the
first thing in the morning and right before bedtime. And it is also
recommended that you add some exercises throughout the day as well.
As with the affirmations, these visualization
exercises are a matter of personal preference. We all visualize
things in our minds differently depending on our personalities,
so you’ll want to experiment with the pictures. Here are some
things you can do with those internal pictures: try blowing them
up in size, make them more colorful, give them noise, give them
action, or increase the brightness. Keep playing with these attributes
until you find the ones that excite you. Also, keep in mind that
the content of these pictures will change over time – in fact,
they NEED to change over time because you’re trying picture
more prosperity in your life.
3) Be Aware of How You Receive Prosperity –
Take inventory of your thoughts and feelings toward the way you
receive prosperity. For instance, how well do you receive compliments?
Do you tend to play them down or do you accept them with grace?
If someone offers to pay you for a task you’ve performed,
do you accept the payment or do you turn it down? If a person tries
to give you something, do you accept it? Do you volunteer for tasks
that you won’t be paid for? All of these are indicators of
your prosperity consciousness. Don’t be concerned about making
judgments at this point, simply become more aware of what’s
going on inside your mind. If you’re doing the affirmations
and visualizations, you’ll know what to do when the time comes.
Middle Eastern mystics say that increasing awareness is all that
is needed to gain knowledge.
4) Be Aware of How You Give Prosperity –
Spiritual sages claim that in terms of prosperity,
the universe makes no distinction between giving and receiving.
The important thing is maintaining the flow of prosperity
and allowing it to bless more lives.
Suppose you and two other people were in the same
room and you had a dollar. Let’s say that you buy a pencil
from one of them for that dollar who then uses it to purchase a
notebook from the third person. The third person then turns around
and buys a hairbrush from you. You could’ve kept the dollar
in your pocket, but instead that same dollar has blessed two other
people with useful products and is now in your pocket anyway. This
is the basis of a healthy economy – one in which there’s
a healthy flow of products, services, and currencies. It when the
flow stops that we start to have problems. Incidentally, this is
the same principal on which tithing to your church or donating a
portion of your pay to charity lies. These charitable acts allow
people to participate in the flow of prosperity and share it with
others. There’s an old saying that states “give what
you want more of”, so if you want more prosperity in your
life, start giving more in return.
In order to build wealth successfully,
we need to look inside ourselves first. We’re taught to define
and then go after our goals, but it really doesn’t work quite
that way. After we define our goals, we then need to concentrate
on removing all the obstacles that block their path. So rather than
going after these financial goals, we simply attract them to us
by preparing ourselves to receive them through a strong sense of
prosperity consciousness.
In Part 2 of this essay, we’ll talk about how we can manage
money to boost our prosperity level.

And here's the second article:
Who Else Wants To Know Oprah's Secrets To Wealth &
Success?
By Saleem Rana
Before I had a lot of money, I was really quite happy," said
Oprah Winfrey. "And I will tell you this--you may not believe
it--I never would have gotten the money if I wasn't happy to begin
with. I never would have gotten it."
I’ve noticed that we’re a culture that doesn’t
stop long enough to enjoy its finances. We’re so far off into
the future, envisioning the cash that we're going to get, we’re
never here long enough to enjoy it. Here, however, is home.
All of us work many hours for profit, yet when it comes in, and
we open up our purse to spend it on what we like, how much time
do we spend enjoying our acquisition?
The other day I got a beautiful armchair. The first time I saw it,
I fell in love. I just had to take it home. It was big, a shocking
pink color, and broad. When I sank in it, it supported me just perfectly.
Visions of many hours in the bookstore, a good book on my lap, a
comfortable armchair surrounding me drifted into my mind. Now, every
time I sit and read a book on that chair, a deep sigh of contentment
rises out of me.
To almost everyone, it’s just an armchair. But to me, it’s
an experience of exquisite laziness.
I deliberately chose to appreciate what I have.
And because of that appreciation, I’m sending a powerful message
to my subconscious mind. “Yes, this is what I want. Thank
you for giving me the currency to get this chair.”
What’s the reaction of my subconscious mind? “Oh, so
that’s what he likes, let’s see if I can get him some
more prosperous ideas.”
Our appreciation helps us make money. We set up a vibration
within us that vibrates to the world. Like my friend, Kim, said,
it’s as if you’ve set your tuning fork to vibrate with
other tuning forks out there.
Consider your positive feelings an investment.
But don’t take my word for it. Ask Oprah.
Oprah Winfrey attributes her wealth to being happy. She didn’t
feel happy because she was prosperous. No, no, no…she got
affluent because she was happy.
Why do so many people adore her? What makes her ratings shoot through
the roof? Yes, you got it—it’s that charming smile,
the warm camaraderie she throws around her guests, and the cheerful
banter with which she talks to her audience.
If Oprah were a grouch—she wouldn’t be Oprah! And she
wouldn’t be rich, either.
Oprah knows how to romance money.
Wealth loves happy people.
Why? It’s because money like everything else is energy. And
we receive the energy we transmit. Hit the right note on your tuning
fork and you get in harmony with other forks of a similar vibration.
One way of throwing your energy off-track is to be unbalanced—to
spend so many hours working that you’re in a perpetual state
of fatigue and low mood. If you’re unbalanced, you’re
out of touch with what you want, and you’re getting what you
don’t like.
If working hard had anything to do with money than a ditch digger
should be rich. I've received plenty of free money just because
I've been at the right place at the right time. When I'm vibrating
with money, I get to pick notes off the ground or to win a prize
or to just be gifted. Sometimes, I just get wonderful ideas that
then translate into money.
Romancing money is a little like a love
affair—you never know when your darling is going to be charming
and merry or, ahem, a little difficult. However, if you’re
charming and merry, you’ve set the right tone for an enchanting
relationship.
