How to Increase Your Magnetism

"You will acquire a stronger inner magnetism by applying the spiritual principles Paramhansa Yogananda taught, practicing them in the battlefield of your life, day by day. In this book you will find precious guidelines to help you. It offers Yogananda's original writings, minimally edited, taken mostly from the magazines which he himself published. Yogananda assures us that "everybody possesses the power of magnetism, which is the power by which you draw things to you-the right husband, the right wife, the right business, and so on." But that magnetism needs to be gradually developed and strengthened. Yogananda adds that we need to develop the right kind of magnetism: "In developing magnetism, you must first make up your mind as to what kind of magnetism you want." The choice is ours: we can develop animal magnetism (attracting others sexually); business magnetism (important for success); artistic or aesthetic magnetism (attracting creative inspiration and artists); moral magnetism (emanating and attracting noble qualities); spiritual magnetism (attracting grace); and much more. What kind of magnetism do you want to have? In addition, the obstacles dimming your magnetism need to be removed. Are you willing to work on yourself, to conquer these obstacles? Our magnetism will receive its strongest boost if we connect our consciousness with the Divine. Yogananda affirms: "Divine magnetism is the power of all powers." A main tool for receiving this divine magnetism is meditation. Yogananda points out: "Meditation is the laboratory in which you know that God is with you, and His magnetism is with you." The stronger our inner magnetism, the less we will be victims of our imbalanced society. The stronger we are inside, the less we allow life's tough situations to pull us down. We gradually become a cause in life, not an effect"--
