From The Editor To grow spiritually in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a Herculean task. Modern conveniences such as electronic equipments, gadgets, and tools as well as entertainment through television, magazines, and the web have predisposed us to confine our attention mostly to physical needs and wants. As a result, our concepts of self-worth and self-meaning are muddled. How can we strike a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of our lives?
Agnieszka Lukasz editor
To grow spiritually is to look inward. Introspection goes beyond recalling the things that happened in a day, week, or month. You need to look closely and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Periodically examining your experiences, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, and the things you engage in provide useful insights on your life goals, on the good traits you must sustain and the bad traits you have to discard. Moreover, it gives you clues on how to act, react, and conduct yourself in the midst of any situation. Like any skill, introspection can be learned; all it takes is the courage and willingness to seek the truths that lie within you. Growth is a process thus to grow in spirit is a dayto-day encounter. We win some, we lose some, but the important thing is that we learn, and from this knowledge, further spiritual growth is made possible. Enjoy our magazine and please help us create it the way we all benefit from it..

THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH:
Spirituality and Money By A. Helper 1. Can you live an authentically spiritual life while creating and enjoying material wealth? 2. Can you build your financial empire and remain pure and true on your spiritual path? 3. In other words, can you have both kinds of riches, spiritual and material? The answer is yes, yes, yes. Of course, many people don’t agree. Perhaps you have heard this aphorism: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:24) If you have a lingering sense of “spiritual guilt” when you find yourself reaching for greater
financial ease, this article is for you. Where You Live The first step in finding harmony between your desire for spiritual awareness and your urge to expand your bank account is a simple one. All it takes is following each desire to its origin.
5
There, you find that their roots are one and the same. From an energetic standpoint, your consciousness is creative. Wallace D. Wattles, author of The Science of Getting Rich, explains that the thoughts you think impress themselves upon an all-pervasive thinking substance and actually create that which you are thinking about. You are not choosing between creating “spiritually” or creating “materially.” You are always creating “experientially.” Your material possessions, like your house, or your car, or the cash in your wallet, all live in the realm of your experience. Your awareness in meditation or prayer lives there, too. That is the only place where your life is lived. Your spirituality and your money all live in the neutral ground of your experience. And this is where you create. Abundance The next step in harmonizing your seemingly divergent desires requires you to look around. Look at he sky, the ocean, the Earth, the life forms on this planet, the blades of grass at your local park. No matter where you look in the natural world, you will find abundance. You don’t even need to look outside yourself. Count the cells in your own body. And when you’re done, count the molecules that compose them. When you finish that, count the atoms in those molecules. Whether you believe that God created this world or you simply hold a sacred reverence for nature, you will notice that the world that reflects Spirit always takes the form of unfathomable abundance. Results The old song goes something like this, “It ain’t what you do its the way that you do it, It ain’t what you say it’s the way that you say it ... That’s what gets results.”
There is a path to riches that not only includes spiritual principles, it is based completely on the spiritual understanding of the creative power of thought. When you set foot on this path, two things happen: • Your spiritual awareness elevates dramatically. • You begin attracting wealth like you never have before. All it takes is an educated shift in your awareness. Begin Right Now You can begin right now. It requires very little but the benefits are great. Wherever you are right now, no matter the time of day, whether you are in the hustle and bustle of the marketplace or in the solitude of your meditation chamber, look at whatever is before you. Look at what is materially manifested in front of you. Now, reaching deep within your awareness, understand that the chair, or the computer, or the rose, or whatever you are observing was a thought before it was a form. Once you are comfortable with that notion, realize that all things were thoughts before they were forms. Once you feel at home with this progressed idea, notice what kinds of thoughts are busy in your mind. Consider the idea that you can and are creating with your thoughts. Now, imagine how your life would be if you had a system of organizing your thoughts that would allow you to bring the desires of your heart into joyful manifestation. You have just begun an extraordinarily life transforming process. Practice this often and you will be preparing yourself for great success with The Science of Getting Rich. About the Autor

Spirituality, Money and You: A Dynamic Change for Heart-CenteredBusinesses By Judy K. Katz The subject of spirituality and money is more common today than it has ever been in the past. Today, we are in the midst of a business revolution in which an ever-growing number of entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals are taking a stand to becoming more conscious and heart-based in their work as well as being extraordinarily profitable. They are changing their values to include the importance of providing a work environment that honors people as vital and dynamic assets. People are seen as human beings with needs, wants, and desires, not just things to be used and to be motivated with fear tactics for the sake of business and the bottom line, revenue, and cash flow.
What happened inside of you? Well, let me give you a little taste of what happens to someone I know who is very close to me. A little booming voice inside her head provokes her with these daunting reminders: “You will never get this right”
What I’m talking about is a subject that is as deep as it is wide. I’d like to narrow this down to one main problem, a huge problem, seeing people as things, not as people, including yourself. Now, you might be thinking, what exactly does this look like and what does it have to do with business and cash flow? Well, plenty, and here’s how. Think about a time when you were not achieving the results that you intended or wanted. Money wasn’t flowing for you, clients weren’t calling, houses weren’t selling, etc 8
“You aren’t good enough to expect so much” “Who do you think you are to want so much” “Your habit of hiding out will never change” “If you don’t hurry up and do something, you’ll lose everything” “You shouldn’t let fear stop you so much”
“Just get over it and move on” Then, the ugly dark emotions of fear, panic, doubt, embarrassment, and guilt take over. By now, this person who is very close to me has fallen into despair, doom and gloom, or occasionally, anger kicks in and produces tiny spurts of action. All of this happens faster than a speeding bullet. Of course, the “who” in this scenario is unfortunately me. I’m sharing this with you because if this happens to you, and it most likely has, particularly if you are experiencing set backs or unwelcome changes, you must know that you are not alone. I’ve introduced you to my inner bully. Do you have one too? Actually, I’ve yet to meet anyone for whom this was not the case. Your inner bully treats you as a “thing”, a pawn on a chess board that can be moved around tirelessly. It cares not that you are tired, frustrated, and feel very alone. It just wants to provoke you into doing something and it uses fear tactics to do just that. You, as a person, are nothing. You are just a pawn in this game of life and your only mission, as far as your inner bully is concerned, is to produce results at any cost. Ouch!!!! So, how do you diminish your inner bully’s negative impact on you which forces you into your fight, flight, or freeze mode? It is simple, however, it requires you to wake up and see that the bully’s
9
attacking and belittling words are mean and provoking. Most of all, to see your inner bully as a survival habit which occurs automatically. You must consider the source. Your bully is never the Truth, it’s a habit that resorts to fear and anger to motivate you; it’s your conditioning that taps into your primordial instincts of basic survival. You must first decide that you will only be treated as the human being that you are, not a thing. This decision will have an incredible impact in your entire life. And just remember, things treat others like things. Ouch again! Being treated or treating others like things, not people, does not align with your higher values. At the end of the day, you will feel regret and remorse for treating yourself and others as if they were things, not people. How might you be pushing and forcing yourself to work hard and to tirelessly chase after business for the sake of getting more money? This is not the way that we, powerful co-creators and creative human beings, were designed to be successful, attract more business, more money, more freedom, more love, and to have more joy in our lives. Please take my “humanity challenge” and see yourself and others as the incredible human beings that we all are, particularly in challenging times. How will this shift make a positive difference in your life and in the lives of those that you truly do care about? About the Autor
Prosperity and Spirituality:
CAN YOU HAVE IT ALL?
By Christine M Jenkins
Can I be spiritual and also have a good income? This a question that people ask a lot when they first start looking at their relationship with money. It is one that I struggled with for a long time myself, when I first started looking the whole area of money and my relationship with it. Like a lot of other spiritually orientated people who work for themselves in the area of healing or personal development, I struggled to make money for a long time. I had earned a reasonable income when I was employed, but when I set up on my own as a homeopath, I was very uncomfortable charging people for my time and skills.
cents in my pocket, and I can feel impoverished with 100s of $$ in my pocket. It all depends on me,and how I feel, and nothing at all to do with money.
It was only when I realised how much time I was actually thinking about money - but in a worrying, anxious way - rather than an abundant way, that I made the commitment to change my relationship with money.
Having really worked on my relationship with money - as if it were a person, I was in a relationship with - I now feel much clearer about it. I don’t blame money for my emotions or my feelings of lack. I realised that money was acting like the scapegoat in my life a lot of the time, for the things that I wasn’t doing for myself.
Money is a unit of energy - we exchange our goods, services, time, abilities, skills for money. Money didn’t always exist as it does now, and it won’t always be the same as it is now in the future. When I started really looking at abundance and prosperity, I realised that to me they had little to do with money!!! I can feel abundant with a few
I was just reading in the paper today of a millionaire who gave most of his money away because he realised that it wasn’t making him happy!! That’s true wealth - he had realised that all the “things” that his money allowed him to buy, hadn’t made him happy. He’s now going to live quietly and in more natural surroundings.
Now, I feel that I am equally as spiritual whether I have money or I don’t!! Money has nothing to do with it. I think about money much less now, than I did when I considered money to be un-spiritual!!! I feel much more grateful for all that I have in my life, rather than focusing on what I don’t have yet.

Spirituality and Wealth By Hyacinth Fraser
A thorny subject, I know. I have to say though tahat I’ve never bought into the idea that there is a contradiction between being wealthy and being spiritual or religious.
For me wealth and spirituality go hand in hand. How is it possible that the intention was for us to be financially bankrupt and spiritually wealthy it seems to me that these two concepts are the ones that are in conflict with each other? I’ve always believed that there are powers beyond ourselves that help us with living our lives, so I’ve always been a spiritual person. I’ve heard many people say that old adage, `money is the route of all evil’. I don’t believe this is the truth - I believe the crux of the matter is how we choose to use the money we have, how we choose to use it to the benefit of ourselves and how we choose to use it to the benefit of others. A friend once said to me, he doesn’t want to be comfortable in relation to having money - instead he made a very clear and bold statement that he wants to be wealthy. And the reason he gave for this is he felt that being comfortable is in fact a selfish act because then he isn’t in a position to 12
help anyone else. Having wealth, it seems to me, isn’t about being greedy - it is in fact about opening up the choices we create in our lives and in creating those choices, I believe we place ourselves in a place where we can be actively spiritual without having to be stressed out paying the mortgage, paying the rent, buying clothes for our children, buying food, buying gas etc etc etc. So here’s my challenge - it’s about finding ways of bringing wealth creation and spirituality together. Creating wealth that meets our own integrity standards is of course also very important, because if we follow the concepts of evil - this only becomes present when we don’t live with integrity and high values. The marrying of spirituality and wealth benefits every one of us. About the Autor
How to Attract Spiritual Wealth using
Time-Tested Secrets While many people focus on gaining material wealth, there are some who want to improve their lives by augmenting their spiritual wealth. Here are some straightforward things you have got to know about spiritual wealth.
By Tammy A Morton
Spirituality is a state of being. It is that conscious effort you exert to enlighten your soul and improve yourself in terms of your relations with others and with life itself. To gain spiritual wealth is to increase information on spirituality and apply this data on your daily existence. Hiking up your spiritual wealth is not as easy and as fast as increasing earthly possessions. Spirituality requires time and devotion. It’s just through a pure heart that you’ll be able to have spiritual wealth. When you make a decision to go on your journey toward spirituality, you can meet roadblocks that can discourage you from continuing on, you have got to be steadfast and strong in all of the things that you’re going to experience on your journey.
Cleaning Step one to spirituality is to wash your soul. Confess and repent for the wrong things you have committed. It is in this stage that you have to find out about humility. Accept that at some particular point in your life, you have made some screw ups and atone for these wrong doings. Being sincere in looking for spiritual wealth is exceedingly important. Humbling yourself is the 1st step of your journey. To be humble means to lift yourself up to the ultimate Being that breathed life into you. Once you’ve learned how to be humble and you’ve purchased a pure heart, the succeeding steps of your journey will be less complicated for you.
13
Let Love Enter Your Heart The ultimate "Being" is the best incarnation of love. Let love enter your heart and your life. Know His teachings and apply these to your life. The more that you give love to others, the more love will be given to you. Having spiritual wealth means letting love enter your life. Don't nurse loathing and discomfort in your heart. These are all negative manifestations of the pure love the ultimate Being wants us all to share with each other. Understand that you will always experience heartaches and Problems in your life but you shouldn't use these as excuses for loathing and brutality. When someone wounds you, give more love in exchange. Folks who hurt other people are in need for love. Give them love and they will ultimately find out how to give it back.
Know the Seriousness of Idleness In this busy world, to be idle is looked upon as acting lazy. Your journey towards spirituality will make you realize that you will need some breathing space of your busy and loud world. Give yourself a few minutes every day to think about your life. Remember that spirituality is perception of being. It's only through reflections that you are going to know how far you've gone on your journey. Reflect on what you've been doing and think of what else you can do to boost your non secular life. Spirituality is a never-ending growth. There is always space to improve. There's always something that you can do. To live a satisfying life means to have a balance of both material and spiritual wealth. Take that journey toward spirituality today and you will soon notice that life is indeed better with a pure heart. About the Autor

PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY AND THE ATTAINMENT OF WEALTH
By John Gilmore
Everyone has to start somewhere and not everything will go the way they plan. The most necessary element for success is that a person not discouraged by the initial failures. Most people who have claimed to have “made it� in life will also be the first to admit that they had many failures along the way. With every failure comes the chance to learn something new for another opportunity. All achievements, no matter how significant they are to others, begin with a burning desire to get the result intended. In the human mind there is a power that is hard to explain. It is the ability to focus positive thoughts on achieving the thing that is most wanted. Success is sometimes a thing that at first seems impossible. When a burning desire in a person is so strong the word impossible loses significance. 15

Many people will tell you “The Secret” to success. Some have told you that if you pray hard enough and have faith you will get what you want. Others have said that the secret is aligning yourself with the positive energies of the universe so you will receive a positive reaction, which will result in riches, good health, and well being. This all sounds good and may be part of the creation of a better life, but the true secret is the need for a Master Plan. In order to gain success mentally, physically, or spiritually one has to have a Master Plan that one can stay with. It has to be a firm commitment, yet flexible enough to change with the times and the necessities. The Shaolin Monks called this being firm in commitment, but flexible in attainment. At present I am working to create a new type of program at John Gilmore’s Healing Hands. It is new to many people, so they are afraid to partake. It is difficult to introduce new thoughts and ideas into an old paradigm. The work is slow, but fruitful. The truth is that what I offer is not new, it is as old as the world itself. It is just that many people have never heard of it. In order to have the strength and ability to stay on schedule and work toward the attainment of my goals I am relying on something called The Master Blueprint. “What is The Master Blueprint?” You might ask. It is a series of books, MP3 Downloads, videos, and inspirational teachings provided by some of the most successful human beings in the western world. It is a step by step guide to how to tap into the creative, human potential and to increase your physical, mental, and spiritual well being through discipline, the development of faith, the application of love, and the creation of wealth for oneself and anyone that would like to partake of the fruits of your success. I was so moved by this Master Blueprint Program that I agreed to promote it, mainly because what one learns applies not only
in the gain of material things, but in achievement and growth in every part of one’s life. If you are serious about growth on all levels-the mental, spiritual, and physical, and becoming someone who can help create a more just, equitable world, this may be something new that you might want to explore. This is new for me, because it involves the acquisition of money. When I was younger I made a decision to devote my life to following my heart and seeking spiritual wholeness and wealth. I would say that I am very successful at it. I have come to a place in my life where I am happy with who I am and what I have. The one thing that I have missed, however, or limited, is my ability to help others in the world without having to work through institutions that, by their own nature, can help to maintain or create the mentality of scarcity and competition that drives the dominator paradigm. Just think about how much of this I could bypass if I were independently wealthy enough to just do the work that needed to be done without working through these organizations. If you are dedicated to the betterment of the world and working hard to change things for the best, but you find yourself locked into jobs and institutions where you really can make the necessary changes, I would suggest that you try to become financially independent. The Master Blueprint Program may be something helpful. Money, in the hands of a good person, can help create a better world for all of us. This is something that it took me more than 30 years to consider. Perhaps you can consider it now and work with a group of people to create the wealth necessary to be a real agent of change int the world. About the Autor

Health, Wealth And The Pursuit Of Spirituality
By Donald Yates source: Flickr.com
Spirituality Is A Mystery
The Soul Instills Confidence
The unseen spirit of man is still a mystery in our technological world. A mystery that seemingly does not enjoy a great amount of favor in our self indulgent society. People have little tolerance and very little respect for that which they can’t define or experience. We are in a time where politicians, philosophers, educators, scientists, authors, self-help gurus, psychologists, and even many spiritual leaders have denounced the mystery of faith as unprovable, unscientific and therefore unacceptable. The fact is, we have created so much background noise, we can no longer hear God as the Spirit of man becomes even more obscured.
The soul of man is his/her identity forever more. The spirit of God is what draws even the most callous man toward God. There is another way to be in our world yet embrace the mystery of faith. Faith must be accepted by the seeker because it is the unseen mystery of future possibilities. Could you believe in something even though there is no evidence? Spirituality is knowing you are connected through inner feelings to something that exist outside our practicality.
The world Sheds Truth
Spirituality Brings Warmth And Belonging
Even though we seek truth, the establishment is more than willing to give falsities. There is another way we can embrace the mystery of faith and still function in the world. How can you accept the mystery of faith and be grounded in spiritual practice? Today’s politicians, edu scientists, writers, self-help psychologists, and even many preachers want to discount anything they can’t prove. If we ask for answers, they’re more than willing to hand out scientific evidence that faith is in vain. But what of the mystery of a flower as it unfolds into a sight of beauty., or a bee that should not be able to fly, but does so with remarkable agility.
Spirituality is an inner closeness a warmth that wells up from the inner being. It is not so much a mindset as a wellness of mind that envelops the being. A spiritual person welcomes change, challenge and life itself. He/she looks into the world with a vision of love and respect. There are no challenges that can’t be conquered, there are no quest that can’t be worked out. The spiritual person knows limitations are only self imposed restrictions.
Spirituality provides you with a feeling of well being, security and belonging.
How can you have a more spiritual life? Perhaps by being honest with yourself and admitting you 18
are part of God’s creation. Let’s face it, God does not play by the same rules as us. In fact he has always been known to make His own rules and embrace man when he stumbles over them.
To Face The Unknown Don’t be afraid of seeking that which is unknown or mysterious. Seek the hidden, and unknowable elements of life. The answers are there for you to discover, as they have always been. Don’t give up on an idea just because you don’t understand it at the moment. We are in a partnership where we don’t have to know every little detail to enjoy life. No matter how spiritual you are, there will still be many times when you will not find an answer to a question. It doesn’t matter, realize that bad things happen the same as good and you must have faith in both. Demonstrate your faith by responding to Nay Sayers by simply answering “I don’t know, it’s a mystery.” By always being honest, you express you have limitations, are weak, and have humbleness in your heart in the presence of God. Also, being honest allows you to keep seeking that which is not understood and bring you closer to certainty.
Find your quiet place Find a quiet place and enter your private place, deep inside where soul meets spirit. Experience it, feel it as you slowly breath, calmly, silently. Sense the presents of God as you express your appreciation, humbleness and concerns to a forgiving reality. Here are a few ideas you may use, 1. Realize that the world is overflowing with abundance, and responsive possibilities. When you adapt a new attitude, your perceptions change and you see the world as a friendly, providing environment. When you realize the world provides abundance and is not hostile, your objectives become genuine possibilities. Possibilities in fact, become realities, because 19
you now experience from a higher intensity. This is the first step in being receptive to a world that provides rather than restricts. 2. Announce to the world that you attract success and abundance because you are a child of God. This establishes a vocal connection between you and God. It is your goal is to reduce any reserve between you and that which you desire. Be assured, abundance and success will not come to you, you must seek them out. Success is within you and abundance is for the taking, it is up to you to take that which is rightfully yours. 3. Stay in an attitude of allowing. When you resist you are in disharmony with your desire for abundance and your beliefs in your own abilities. You are saying, in essence, you are unworthy. Your attitude must be one of allowing abundance to come to you and ignoring efforts by others to discourage you. A harmonious attitude also signifies that you no longer rely on pervious self-oriented beliefs that abundance could not be a part of your life. You now have an attitude of acceptance; you have stopped resisting through negative thoughts and doubts and now understand that you and creation are truly one and the same. See a world of abundance and your desires flowing unencumbered directly to you. Refuse to stand in the way or have any thought that compromises your alignment with your provider. Stay focused, be vigilant and realize, the world provides for a good and appreciative steward.

Spiritual - Inviting the Energy to Create Wealth
Our world is full of abundance in which we can have a happy and healthy life as long as we understand how. Life is meant to be lived with contentment, but thereare times we forget this.
By Gaetane Ross
Instead we look at the 14 trillion dollars which moves from hand to hand, and yet we never have enough money ourselves. We get caught up in the unfair and unhappy tidings of life in which we are slaves to the paper form of wealth. Despite money being a neutral entity we tend to consider it negative and a means for getting the material possessions we desire. Spirituality ignores these more complicated matters and offers us a base on which to live. We can ignore what we see as hypocrisy as long as we have spirituality. Some of us even believe that if we have more money than we can be rich in life, yet those who have money are often unhappy and less enriched. We trample people to get what we want, not caring if others are hurt. We feel that money and power is required, yet when we get it we find out differently. Spiritual energy is the only way to have real wealth in the world and to have a true potential and principles.
What to have in Life We have talked about self image above, and will continue here. If you are questioning what you need in life and what you do not need it all comes down to self image. How do you perceive yourself? Do you think you need wealth to be a whole person? Basically what this paragraph boils down to is that if you want to be a happy, complete person you need to understand that material things are not necessary for this. It is all about how you look at yourself and others. If you believe in faith and 20
a sense of spiritualism you can be happy. It does require a conviction of inner beliefs in which you divest yourself of the material misinterpreted world. Faith is more than luck. It is a state of mind in which you have the opportunity to achieve whatever you want as long as you can recognize it.
Thoughts Spirituality, happiness, and everything else will begin with a thought. You must think of what you are now and what you hope to become. Freedom is attained only when you understand that there are no limits to your power to gain happiness in life. If you let the negative thoughts portray you as a victim than that is what you will be in life. However, if you gain positive feelings and ensure that you are who you want to be you will be rich and unlimited. Direct your mind to be open and free of the mundane materials.
Speech Words are a weapon more so than any actual weapon. If you understand that speech has the power to change your life and way of thinking than you can understand how the positive flow of words can be used against the negative words that are weapons. Let speech by your motivation and be convinced by the words. About the Autor

3 Fulfilling Ways to Attain Spiritual Wealth By Michael Lee In today’s times, having spiritual wealth is very important. Somehow, we all seem to have forgotten what having inner peace is like. We’re so used to seeing drama all over the place that we begin to see it as the norm. Nobody bats an eye when couples divorce anymore. Depression is now the latest accessory for teenagers. Ugly family drama is constantly exploited on television. Seeing all these things happening around us, I wonder who would ever wish such a tumultuous life for themselves?
When you possess spiritual wealth, you're not likely to get affected by all the negativity surrounding you. Read on to find out how to achieve your inner peace and happiness. Spiritual Wealth Tip # 1: Attitude of Gratitude There's a lot to be thankful for in this world. Find the time to sit down and create a list of all the things you're grateful for. I guarantee that it will bring you a kind of peace you haven't felt in a long while. Creating a list also makes you aware of some of the wonderful things in your life you don't normally notice. For example, you may find yourself being grateful for having the nicest landlord in the city. Where others have to deal with crappy landlords, you have yourself a generous and patient one. That's certainly something to feel grateful about. Spiritual Wealth Tip # 2: Pass It On. It just feels so wonderful and satisfying to do something nice for somebody. After completing your gratitude list, you'll come to realize just how fortunate you are compared to others. Pass that feeling on. The next time you see a begging child on the street, why don't you treat him to a decent meal? Better yet, why not set aside a small portion of your income to donate to your chosen charity? It's not going to cost you a lot of money, but it will leave you with a very warm feeling inside. Spiritual Wealth Tip # 3: Cut Back On Negativity. Part of increasing your spiritual wealth is by thinking in positives as much as you can, as often as you can. The world is not perfect. Sometimes, it throws something unexpected and unpleasant your way. However, it is ultimately up to you on how to receive it. Spiritual wealth can be interpreted in many ways. It can also be achieved in different ways. The three examples above are but some of the ways you can try for yourself. One thing is for sure. Spiritual wealth does not necessarily have to do with money, but it has everything to do with what you think of yourself and of others. About the Autor 22
Master Spiritual Wealth Creation and Finally Earn What You're Worth By Marcia A. Bench
What is the purpose of your business? If you said "to help people" or "to change the world" or "to express my life's purpose," you're partly right! But in fact, the purpose of your work overall is those things; the purpose of your business is to make a profit. Otherwise, what you have is a hobby you enjoy - but not a profitable enterprise (the definition of business). Too many spiritually-minded coaches have been taught by the mass consciousness that you can’t be spiritual and be wealthy too. With the birth of the Entrepreneurial Renaissance, however, the principles of spirituality and wealth are increasingly blending. Doesn’t it set a better example for your clients, workshop attendees and product purchasers to see you prospering, enjoying your life, expansively giving to causes you believe in, and living comfortably - instead of struggling? The times we are experiencing - especially this year - are requiring that we get real - and stop fooling ourselves that overspending and hoping someone will come and rescue us from our own excesses (regardless of that is in overeating, overspending or overleveraging our resources). Prince Charming isn’t coming! But true wealth is not measured just by the amount of revenue your business generates or the number of clients you are working with - let alone the size 23
of home you have or the care you drive. Spiritual Wealth consists of living the life you love, that is perfect for you - not the life someone else told you was the ideal. Do you know what that is for you? Maybe it means you have more time with your children, or time and money to have a spa day every couple of weeks. Or perhaps your Spiritual Wealth means having enough disposable income to splurge on a new outfit once in a while, but also give to the charities of your choice and maintain your health through a gym membership. Rather than giving you the “4 principles of attracting money now,” I’d like to challenge you to think about what your true wealth is - tapping into your voice, not what you have been told or taught or what is working for someone else. Then, the plan to create it becomes easy.

LAW OF ATTRACTION
Is Wealth Mentality a Spiritual Principle? By Shauna Arthurs There seems to be a lot of talk about religion surrounding the Law of Attraction, and it might be nice to put the focus back to where it belongs when working with this principle: on creating good feelings.
its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; “Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.”” - Benjamin Franklin
Everyone has been gifted with one or the other talent. To think like a winner we must feel confident that we are good in these skills. Below are a few ways given to train yourself to think like a winner:
Is it any wonder we sabotage ourselves unconsciously when it comes to money? This is the type of thinking that keeps so many people in poverty, and can be dissolved and transformed with new beliefs about financial abundance.
There seems to be a lot of talk about religion surrounding the Law of Attraction, and it might be nice to put the focus back to where it belongs when working with this principle: on creating good feelings. The truth is that whether we are talking about LOA or religion, it is of benefit to anyone to be able to feel good about themselves, and create good things in their lives. If you Google the words ‘happy’ and ‘money’ together, you may be amazed and saddened by all the search results just in the FIRST page that talk about money and happiness NOT being compatible. Here is an example of the lack programming that gets fed to us, from none other than Ben Franklin: “Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of
Spirituality can be wonderful, and so too can financial abundance...If nothing else, think of the greater amount of good you could do with more money, if this is where you need to focus to get this point. Of course money itself is not the goal: money is just paper and metal...dig deeper and really it’s just an IDEA that passes around in the ether these days, for the most part (that is a subject for another day!). There is nothing wrong with wanting MORE, unless it becomes an endless obsession for some vacant promise in the ‘someday’, which robs you of all joy in your NOW moments.Passion for creating more abundance; for expressing our gifts and receiving return for them on a massive scale is no more and no less than an expression of our ever-expanding Universe in action. 24 About the Autor
Quantum Physics + Spiritual Vitamins =
Health, Wealth and Happiness By Ellis Peterson
Our Solar System has just rotated through our Galaxy and now resides (for the next 2000 years) in an orbit around our Galactic Sun that we have named “The Age of Aquarius.” It is the Age of Science, the mind and Quantum Physics. The materialistic Scientists who still believe in the ‘Big Bang Theory’ and the ‘Chaos Creation Theory’ are talking and writing the Laws of Quantum Physics to death already. We do not live in a world of words. We live in a living, expanding, creation Universe. It was created by the Big ‘G” the Creator God. The Universe is energy, we are energy, thoughts are energy. The Laws of Quantum Physics and Attraction are Laws based on energies not words. Our health is energy or the natural flow of energy through our energy centers, chakras. When the gas in your car is clogged or blocked up the car stalls and can not move. When your energy flow is blocked up, you stall (illness). In this marvelous New Age we find ourselves in, we must use our minds to create new methodologies to attract more life-giving energy into our lives and to keep it flowing.
The simplicity of the Laws of Quantum Physics tell us that there exists an infinite Ocean of thinking, intelligent energy out of which the Universe and each one of us is manifested. This ocean of energy was placed there by the Creator God as part of the Creative Plan. It is called the Quantum Ocean and in reality it is the Mind of God. It responds to our thoughts and emotions and manifests into our individual minds, as well as into the mass mind of Humanitiy. All thoughts and emotions become a reality. Therefore it is up to us to think good healthy thoughts into the Quantum Ocean and receive good healthy energy in return. Thoughts are things, symbols are things, words are things. We must use the Law of Attraction by selecting thoughts, symbols and words that bring into our lives what we want. Not what we don’t want. We could turn the whole medical profession around if we could stop thinking, talking and studying dis-eases which no one wants. Each time a disease is talked about, each illness that is 25
thought about, or shown on TV; the disease or illness is EMPOWERED. So, why not consider a new way of thinking? Why not think in terms of HEALTH? Think of being HEALTHY, not being sick. Talk about HEALTH, Think about HEALTH, and study how to be HEALTHY. Give disease and sickness no thought or attention whatever. Do not even mention the diseases that are in vogue. Do not watch commercials or TV programs having to do with ill-health. Remember where you place your attention is what is drawn to you. We all want health, wealth and happiness. Here is a powerful exercise I call “Spiritual Vitamins for Health, Wealth and Happiness.” Words are powerful. Written words are Resonant Frequencies to energy fields in the Quantum Ocean. When you consciously look at a word and mentally breathe it into your self, you are making a connection to the energy field in the Quantum Ocean pertaining to the word. The word health written boldly on a piece of paper is connected to the health energy in the Quantum Ocean. Take at least a dozenpieces of 8 1/2” by 11” 120 pound cardboard stock (vary the colors if you like) in the center of each sheet boldly write or print out one Key word. One word that represents an energy in the Quantum Ocean that you want to manifest in your life. Here is a list, but you can choose your own.
HEALTH WEALTH LOVE STRENGTH HAPPINESS PEACE JOY HARMONY CONSCIOUSNESS WISDOM KNOWLEDGE EQUANIMITY Sit comfortably in your chair. Relax and breathe slowly and deeply with the twelve cards in your lap. Now take one of the cards in your hands - ‘Health’. Look at it and mentally say “I am now inhaling Health into every cell in my body.” Take a deep breath while still looking at the card. Three times. Place the card on the bottom of the pile in your lap and pick up the next card ‘Wealth.” Breathe in “I am Wealthy.” Go through all twelve cards and you will be giving yourself ‘Spiritual Vitamins’ that will start to attract HEALTH, WEALTH, and HAPPINESS into your life. How long will this take? Be patient and persist. About the Autor

The Seven Rules Of
Wealth Creation By Mere T.
Wealth and prosperity are the key to a happy life and there is no doubt about that. Money may not buy you extra years of life or health or more happiness, but money plays an important role in the society and money itself is a powerful energy that moves the world.
In spirituality studies, there is a Law of Wealth and Success and anyone who knows and applies these seven laws of wealth creation will become prosperous. Not many people know about these seven laws because they are hidden from our eyes which see only the tangible objects and beyond generic understanding. The seven laws of wealth creation have been known by ancient sages of diverse cultures and religions. They are universal thus any person of any belief can apply and use them in their lives to spectacular success. They are briefly explained as here below:
28
1. Everything that you need to become rich is already within you. All you have to do is to externalize it. Everyone has it in their mind. But you need to make it "show" up. That is, develop that "millionaire mentality", if not, it is impossible to attract any wealth into your life. It is also important to view money as sacred source of energy. Do not despise money. If this energy is properly channeled, together with the creative harmony of the Universe, your powerful positive thoughts can bring you anything you want into your life.
2. Love money if you want it to love you back This law may sound laughable, because who does not like money? Everyone likes money, isn't it? Subconsciously, people may reject money due to some religious teachings although consciously they may be welcoming it. You need to love money totally and devotedly just like you devotedly love your lover. Love money without false pride and it will love you back. Do not view it as evil nor doubt its nature. Money is not dirty but only minds that own it dirty it. You condemn, you lose.
3. Being aware of money leads to having money Achieving financial security is a process. It means this process will accompany you in your life and by opening up your heart and mind to prosperity, you will build yourself a feeling of wealth that nobody can take it away from you. Thoughts are energy impulses with the power to materialize therefore one must know the destiny of one's life is all contained in his or her thoughts. So get used to thinking in terms of comfort, wealth and prosperity and the best will come to you. Do not despise yourself!
4. Money comes into your life for a specific reason When money comes into your life, it is subordinate to an aim, an objective or a wish. Having an aim in life is the force that drives life on; it is what gives existence a meaning and makes it sacred. It is up to you to discover this aim in your life. Wealth takes on different aspects so you need to define it clearly how you want wealth to show up in your life. From now on, define your life objective as specific as possible and 29 to it until you have stick achieved it.
5. Money must circulate freely Money is an energy, and all energies needs to circulate, so money needs to be circulated just like blood in your body. When blood circulates freely in you, your health is excellent. So keep your money circulating. This does not mean do not save. You need to save it based on the emotion of optimism in life. People think that having a savings is to prevent you against "raining days" and this is based on the emotion of pessimism, not something which is encouraged when it comes to money circulation. Do not live under constant fear. So saving money as long as it is born of healthy positive thoughts will not block the circulation of money or universe cosmic energy.
6. You have to give to receive This is the universal principle of wealth and prosperity! You reap what you sow. Acquiring money without giving back builds up negative karma which will manifest at some stage. If you are generous, altruistic, sincere and modest, not proud or hypocritical, the Universe will, in return, gives you more. Giving and receiving are not just limited to material things. It can be about respect, compliments or admirations of others. So open your heart wider to give and receive more. Once you receive anything, also remember to give gratitude and thanks to the Universe for the gift and be grateful for what you already have.
7. Trust your intuition Everyone has a "little voice" in us that speaks up when we are in doubts. The problem is, we have completely shut ourselves off from the "little voice". The voice is actually your life's best buddy and it can be can be found at the right side of your brain. To consult your buddy, formulate a wish or question in your heart and then allow whatever comes to flow, preferably during a meditation process. So whenever you encounter a situation that is doubtful, ask your intuition and it will inspire and guide you through. So apply your intuition to your money making processes! These are the seven powerful rules of wealth creation. They are the undisputed ways to generate wealth in your life so always have full faith in them for they have already been tested over and over again over the course of the history. Put them into practice now and your efforts will be richly rewarded. Do consult your spiritual guidance if you are not sure. Apply them everyday with confidence 30 and perseverance and soon you will start to see wonders. About the Autor
