Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy: 10 Secrets for Success and Prosperity in the Third Millennium (Enlightement Coaching in the Age of Awakening) Paperback – November 8, 2010

I enjoy all of Rose Rosetree's content. I quite like her empath books: The New Strong and Being the Most Important Person in the Room. It is important to be compassionate without taking on other people's stuff. Rosetree has very practical suggestions and exercises to do so. It was with this knowledge and expectation I chose this book. (Still reading. ...)Note: Sometimes her writing style is a bit "jovial," yet well intentioned.**Really want to thank this seller for fantastic follow through (from Postal Service hi-jinx).

My training is in engineering and mathematics. While I have associated with very many "energy sensitive" people, I have never dealt easily or smoothly with them. Still, if it were actually possible to be much more perceptive---I would want that very much. As a result, I follow this sort of thing avidly as a seeker---but not a finder.Ms. Rosetree's basic idea is that the human aura exists, can usefully be perceived or "read" by any person willing to work up to the skills, and is a wholly reliable guide. That is, the "aura doesn't lie." Because so much of the current prosperity literature is focused on positive thinking and the "law of attraction," her first project (over 150 pages) is to compare the teachers of the law of attraction with the students. According to her (extensive) survey, the teachers of the law of attraction have achieved success in exactly the same way most other successful people have done so, and that relies very strongly on qualities she labels as "root chakra" and "solar plexus" information. In contrast, the principles they teach focus quite fully on data that she labels as "third eye." Boiled down to terms I might understand better, the teachings tend to focus people on thinking and dreaming about reality---longing for it. This attracts people who are prone to be spiritual types and seeker types. That is, in her estimation, a big mistake. The qualities required also include down-and-realistic if not down-and-dirty involvement in the details of real physical life. It requires a strong physical presence and an aggressive intention to "get our own, too." So, she sees the law of attraction teaching as actually counter-productive to acquiring real wealth. Her arguments and anecdotes are much more detailed and amusing than my overview.The latter part of the book guides the repentant "law of attraction" (LOA) student from the cult of positive thinking back into a more positive frame of reference, and her guidance is less harsh than the popular commercial about "namby-pamby land to get you some self-confidence, you jackwagon!!!!!" although perhaps there is some common thread there. She is very precise about which "databanks" in which "chakras" are required to obtain financial success. While her parlance may be unusual to other muggles like me, it is very useful to know quite clearly what skill sets and what qualities are required. There is reason to think her way may work. She gives exercises, which I consider mild ones, to augment these required qualities of psyche or qualities of life.For myself, I appreciate the information, although the perception of auras has never been an easy subject for me. On the one hand, it would be pretty hard to say it isn't real or isn't useful. How many people can walk into a room and tell that their spouse is just fuming angry---totally out of whack---even before she moves or blinks or says anything? Most people can sense a wall of unmitigated outrage without any trouble at all. So, if it can be sensed by muggles, it is real.The difficulty or rub is that engineers and scientists want to observe objectively. We want to see what's there and let it be as it is. However, in observing an aura, the experience is inherently subjective. The act of gathering data is not nicely separated from interpreting the data. So, Ms. Rosetree might see my (1/16 inch) base chakra and inform me that I have no presence in the world and am invisible to people---and should be. Of course, that doesn't entirely sit well with me, since I've worked hard for many years to be accomplished in different ways. What she sees as "no physical presence at all" isn't different from what I consider "kindness and flexibility." It isn't the same in every lexicon. However, this lack of separation between data gathering and data interpretation seems to be unavoidable at present, and no deduction should occur for it.In the end, I have deducted a star from my review for a different reason. Ms. Rosetree is very aware of the way auric information trickles down to affect the physical world. That is clear. It happens, of course, that the flow goes the other way, too. Just as people who have (1/16 inch) arm muscles can work at clear, objective exercises to build strength, so, too, there are physical aspects of yoga and qigong that can build up the auric qualities more quickly, too. I think that the omission or at least under reporting of these---quite effective---ways for people to remedy their underdevelopment for money matters is a point off. Of course, not all the required "yoga" would be sitting in the corner in an odd stretch. Some of the work is going out and learning to hold qualities while interacting with people. It's a yoga---but a different one.Ms. Rosetree writes books more quickly and easily than I can study them. Still, I think her books are to be recommended. Unlike so much of the "fluffy" or "new age" or "energy literate" literature, she makes a real effort to teach ordinary people skills that could augment both their personal satisfaction and their business opportunities. So, as an intentional teacher, she is much more valuable than most. Many, many people write books more to display their own cleverness and abilities and without regard to helping the reader toward a better result for himself. One in a hundred or one in a thousand is anything really more than a useless poser---a "look at me, aren't I great" author. This, as it happens, is the good one in a big crowd of bad books.

I'm enjoying this book. I'm not very far in it, but as always, I am finding Rose Rosetree's books to be easy to follow, easy to read, and full of good information. I am a Reiki Master and emotional empath that reads energy. Rose has helped me quite a bit in these areas. I recommend this book. I also recommend all of Rose Rosetree's books. She is very insightful.

Rose brings some important concepts that are beyond the whole self-development and spiritual industry such as energetic literacy, reading the aura of successful people, aura modeling and avoiding spiritual addiction. The law of attraction definitely works and definitely doesn't work all the time, and Rose clearly shows the limitations of the law of attraction. She brings a clarity and precision that can only be attained through directly reading energy, and she has a very high knowledge and experience about energies and spirituality. Out of 5, I would give 7 for the content and 4 for the presentation. That being said, this isn't for everybody. I recommend it to experienced spiritual people who have seen everything out there and who want to make one step beyond. Forward-thinking self-development professionals should definitely read this. That being said, I also have criticism towards the book. The last chapter about applying the concepts has been irrelevant to me. There is a big disconnection between studying the aura of the biggest billionaires... and aiming to increase income by $10000 per year!! Study the aura of people whose path you want to follow. I will start studying the aura of my students, and I will apply many of the concepts presented in the book in larger ways.

Have you tried to become successful, wealthy and/or happy using the principles delineated in "The Secret," and come up empty? Well, you can stop blaming yourself. In "Magnetize Money....," Rosetree shows what might be the real issues here by researching the auras of very successful people and comparing them to those who champion the Law of Attraction. She then proceeds to give you practical advice and techniques to help you make your own success. Three cheers!

An amazing resource!!! I highly recommend!!

fantastic book! thank you Rose

This book could be deceiving at first glance. I was curious, but didn't know what it was all about when I first purchased it. Magnetize Money, prosperity, and energetic literacy could cover so many things. If you're new to the term "energetic literacy" this book will catch you up to speed. It's something anyone can learn. What I found to be quite practical about this book were the workarounds and practical steps that were included. For someone who is really looking to magnetize money, you have to actually do something. There are some things that can be done energetically, yes, but this should not be a replacement for things like setting realistic goals. This is common sense to some, but for others they may need this step by step on how to actually set goals and keep track of progress. The author made sure to include the practical, every day things you can do. I use this when I'm ready to take on my next big goal to ensure I'm really covering all my bases. The other thing is I don't become attached to a specific outcome. I learned how to frame what I really want and not just narrow in on one option to achieve that thing.

Ce livre aurait clairement pu s'appeler autrement et ne concerne pas uniquement la relation que les gens pourraient avoir avec l'argent.Il aurait pu s'intituler "Apportez plein de bon sens dans votre vie". Rose Rosetree, l'auteur, nous explique comment nous projetons toute sorte d'information, dans chaque situation de notre vie, et explique comments ces projections peuvent influencer ce que les gens perçoivent de notre personne. Que ce soit au travail, dans la vie sentimentale ou ailleurs, il y a clairement moyen de "guérir" ces projections ou de mieux comprendre pourquoi nous les faisons.L'énergie est quelque chose de très subtil et ce livre de "self-help" n'est pas sans rappeler une certaine psychologie ni une certaine philosophie. Je conseille ce livre à quiconque s'intéresse à sa relation avec les autres et cherche à améliorer sa vie par des moyens vrais et efficaces.Les énergies subtiles ont tant à nous apprendre.Je vous recommande chaudement ce livre !
