What Would You Do For Nothing?

While doing some research, I came across an ABC news profile of a pretty extraordinary guy.

For one, he’s got an incredible story to tell. Having been raised by his mother on the South Side of Chicago, Farrah Gray began contributing to his family's financial support at the age of 6, and he made his first million by the time he was 14.

Unbelievable!

What’s even more amazing is that initially he had no mentor to show him how to go about making money. He just took action.

Part of why he was so motivated at so tender an age is that he watched his mother work so hard. He says, "When I went to sleep, she was up; when I woke up, she was up. So I never really was sure that she did go to sleep. And I really felt that out of that feeling of struggle, my mom had a heart attack, and I said there must be something I can do to help her."

So he set out at age six to make his mom’s life easier by collecting large rocks from around his neighborhood. He painted them, knocked on neighbor’s doors, shook their hand and said, 'Would you like to buy this rock? It can be used as paper weights, bookends and door stoppers.' He would get funny looks from people, especially those whose rocks used to be located at their front door – and now were painted..

Gray learned quickly that a rejection meant more opportunity.

At age eight he started his own business club by asking local businesspeople to donate transportation and meeting space so kids from the Chicago housing projects could learn about business.

"I was very nervous, and I had to deal with rejection at a very early age because I was asking people for money. Many people said no. They would shut the door on us. But I was able to raise $15,000 with what I call a five-person policy — that if you say no, introduce me to five people who might say yes."

You’re probably wondering how Gray make his first million by age fourteen.

It’s a simple answer. By doing what he knew best. He loved to cook and decided to sell his grandmother’s syrup recipe using his own concoctions and flavors. Then he started his own food company after reading a book about marketing.

"I started just reading through the book and taking each chapter step by step on how to start a food company. I took what I had on the stove, poured it into a bottle. Sent it to a co-packer, and I tried to find mentors in the industry to teach me."

He understood that learning and applying lessons one step at a time is the key to success. Gray knows about action. He knows about learning. And he would tell everyone that ANYONE can follow in his footsteps.

Keep this story in mind as you embark on your journey to wealth and prosperity. Get a major headstart now by applying the ancient formula revealed in The Science of Getting Rich for Creatorsand create the life of your dreams.

Warm Regards,

P.S. "I believe the two most important times in a person's life is when we were born and when we find out why we were born. And when we're able to find out why we were born, then we have found our area of excellence.

Ask yourself three questions. First, what comes easy to me but harder to others? The second question is, what would you do for work for years and years and never have to get paid for it? And the third question is, how can you be of service and how can you give back? Because I always say, 'If you're here on Earth and you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.'"
– Farrah Gray. Now it’s YOUR turn to seize the day.

Hollywood Update

My husband Clayton is making a short trip to Los Angeles. Not to record a film score this time. Yesterday he was leading the orchestra for big revamp for a major network.

With the arrival of Katie Couric as their new CBS Evening News Anchor on September 5, CBS decided to ditch all its current music for all news-related stories, including the CBS News theme which they’ve been using for twenty years.

So they hired Academy-Award winning film composer James Horner to give them a musical makeover. Should be interesting.
I’m not a newswatcher myself, but just may have to switch on the teevee to catch the new sounds.

Then Clayton told me during his lunch break yesterday, that one of Katie Couric’s assistants interviewed him for a behind-the-scenes piece. Turns out, Katie will be reporting on all the changes in a story.

As for the music, Clayton says they recorded themes for all kinds of eventualities - a theme for war, election bits and long versions, a pastoral, heartwarming theme, and more.

The interviewer asked Clayton how the process differed from recording a film score. He said that in movie cues are longer and can last as much as 12 minutes. These cues were 30 seconds or less. However the recording process was the same.

Then Clayton was asked how the musicians felt about doing this special scoring session. He answered that everyone felt really honored to take part of this history making process of recording for the first woman to anchor a major daily network newscast and the CBS news tradition.

The sound transformation of CBS News will greatly help to acclimate viewers to this new transition. People associate music with visuals and emotions. James Horner’s music will break the pattern with the past and introduce a fresh new feeling to the network.

Clayton is featured on most of my recordings including The Secret Power of Words and Music CDs. What he does with his 1781 Italian violin is extraordinary and very powerful. He is not an ‘in your face’ musician. His approach is a silken one - his playing penetrates your heart and mind like like a laserbeam of light. It’s not to be missed.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. P.S. Want to read about this extraordinary musician before you purchase the Secret Power package? Then click on his bio and reviews. Once you're bowled over, order the CDs that feature his playing.

Drivers Beware

Here we go again. A major Canadian study has found that listening to loud music greatly really impairs performing mental and physical tasks. They include every kind of music that is fast and loud, from classical to rock.

“It doesn't matter if you listen to opera, classical or rave - it's the speed of the beat that counts,” said Dr. Conrad King.

Drivers especially were warned against playing loud music with a fast beat.

Add the fact that another British study found drivers were Twice as likely to drive through a red light while listening to loud music, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for disaster. Because, while driving during this relentless high volume barrage, your mind and body’s reaction time is slowed down 20%.

One more thing. You’re at even greater risk if you listen to music with a pounding beat rather than more relaxed tunes, according to experts.

Here’s how Dr. Robert King summed it up. "It is important that drivers choose their music carefully when driving, since up-tempo music has been shown to cause drivers to have double the amount of accidents as those listening to slower music.

"In general, if music is above 60 beats per minute, listeners experience a faster heart rate and increased blood pressure.”

As I said, here we go again. Faster heart rate. Adrenaline pumping. Increased blood pressure. It’s like sitting on a fast train to disaster. Of the mental and physical kind.

One CD you can be assured of is great for driving is the Renewal CD - the beautiful, flowing melodies, gentle rhythms and luminous harmonies won’t dilute your brain cells. They’ll focus your mind and relax your body. You won’t believe how good your next drive will feel.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. John Nicol, a Scotsman living in Germany writes, “Wow, what a great package! The distinct style of your songs is just what we're looking for in our busy lives. My girlfriend and I were so excited when we first heard Renewal, that we took it along on our long distance journey in the car the other day. After every song, we couldn't wait to hear the next track. This is a unique collection of arching melodies, sounds, nuances and styles.”

This Is No Voodoo

This morning I read some astounding confirmation about the power of the mind in Science News. Now, just to fill you in, this is not a mag that subscribes to so-called New Age thinking.

The article immediately caught my attention. The topic was psychokinesis.

What is psychokinesis? It’s the power of the mind to manipulate matter. In this case, an average of 100 participants used their minds to influence the output of computers. Not just in one study but 380 random studies around the world.

Here’s how it goes.

The participant mentally tries to influence a computer to produce, say, more 1s than 0s. After Dr. Holger Bösch of the University of Freiberg in Germany analyzed these 380 studies, he found a significant tendency for pre-designated 1s or 0s to appear. Meaning, if participants used their mind to influence the computer to produce more 0s, it did.

Now scientists are trying to figure out HOW the mind can influence a computer.

China, especially, has been a leader in investigating the power of the mind. Under strict scientific conditions, Chinese Universities have undertaken large-scale studies of this ‘voodoo’ phenomenon.

For a story that could have come directly from ‘The Twilight Zone’ check this study as reported in China’s “Nature Journal.”

"A more spectacular series of rigorously controlled - and repeatable! - laboratory experiments occurred in China. An extraordinary paper called “Some Experiments on the Transfer of Objects Performed by Unusual Abilities of the Human Body” reported that gifted children were able to cause the apparent teleportation of small objects - radio micro-transmitters, photosensitive paper, mechanical watches, horseflies, other insects, etc. - from one location to another (that was meters away) without them ever touching the objects beforehand.

“The experiments were operated under exceptionally well- controlled conditions (both blind and double-blind). The researchers involved included not only observers from various Chinese colleges and medical research institutes, but also representatives from the Chinese National Defense Science Commission. “


Keep reading, because it gets even more spooky.

"... the radio micro-transmitter used as a test specimen in one series of experiments transmitted a radio signal to several stationary electronic instruments/receivers, so that the specimen could be tracked and monitored during the teleportation process.

“The experimenters discovered that there were Large fluctuations in the intensity (in both amplitude and frequency) of the monitored signal. It would either completely disappear or become extremely weak - to the point where the monitoring instruments could scarcely detect it.

“There was a definite correlation between the change in strength (i.e., radical frequency shifts were observed) of the monitored radio signal and the teleportation of the test specimen such that the weak or absent signal indicated that the specimen was “nonexistent” - or in an altered physical state - during teleportation. (Note: the monitored signal amplitude and frequency of the micro-transmitter specimen were STABLE Before and After teleportation.)


To sum it up in layman’s terms:

During the time that these kids moved the radio micro-transmitter from A to B, its frequencies shifted radically. To the point where the signal became so weak or absent that, in effect, the transmitter, a physical object, had been made ‘nonexistent.’

OK, some of you may have to see it to believe it. That’s perfectly fine. How about giving the power of YOUR thoughts a try. How about teleporting your goals to reality. Truly, we are talking about the SAME process – being able to focus while your totally relaxed to achieve results previously thought of as ‘impossible’.

This is what The Science of Getting Rich for Creators course teaches. Folks, this IS a science. It can be learned by each and every one of you.

Focus on getting your copy now.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. The term psychokinesis is derived from the Greek words psyche meaning ‘breath,’ ‘life,’ or ‘soul,’ and kinein meaning ‘to move.’ The occurrences of PK have been recorded since ancient times. Anyone can breathe life into their soul. It all begins with movement.

Don’t Eat to This

We were out dining at our favorite restaurant. It serves a raw food special all day, every day. Usually they play pretty toned down relaxing music.

Not that evening.

We were bombarded with pounding rock music. Now to our ears it was pounding, because we don’t ever listen to this low frequency stuff. But other patrons didn’t seem too bothered by it. Probably because most people have adapted to loud noise pollution.

Clayton asked if the music could be changed to something more calming. That way, we could at least digest our food.

You wouldn’t believe what whoever was in charge put on next. Fast paced Dance Club music. All I could think is that they just couldn’t hear the request for peaceful music because it was too loud.

And here we had just walked out of The Nature Store playing John Barry’s expansive ‘Out of Africa’ film score, which happens to be a soundtracks my husband Clayton performed on.

That gorgeous, soothing orchestral music literally kept us in the store for quite a while. Had they been playing rock or dance music, we wouldn’t have even stepped in the place.

Here’s a tip.

If music is not suitable for a young child’s ears, stay away if you can. Even better is listening only to music you’d want to play to a newborn baby. Making music choices this way will lead to quick, positive decisions about what you’re letting yourself be exposed to.

In a nutshell, ignoring noise pollution is to expose your mind to junk food. Sounds with zero nutritional value. Songs with addictive ingredients. Sounds that deplete you and raise your blood-pressure.

Take back your personal airwaves. Get charged up with positive energy. Immerse your ears in beauty and rejuvenation.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. On Thursday, Clayton will be leading the orchestra for a different kind of project. More on that later this week. To hear this worldclass violinist immediately go to http://www.artabundance.com/secretpower.htm and order The Secret Power of Words and Music 5 CD package.

Tiger, Gates and Gold

Do you know how to tell the difference between a true professional vs. a rank amateur?

True professionals Want you to tell them what they can improve on. Without exceptions, all of them have this one trait in common - they’re continuously asking "What must I change to improve my life?"

For example, did you know that Bill Gates loved studying customer complaints.

Typically company owners dislike dealing with complaints. But Bill Gates saw a great value in the things customers were unhappy about. He has said that, after studying these complaints, they often revealed secrets he then used to make Microsoft’s products better.

Talk about turning a negative into positive. Or better yet – transforming a challenge into a success.

Another Master of the Creative Process is Tiger Woods.

Tiger and his swing coach study videos of Tiger’s game. They don’t do this to bask in his successful moments. Nooo, they’re hoping to find a weakness! They crave finding even the tiniest mistake. Something Tiger can improve on.

He said, “no matter how good you get you can always get better and that's the exciting part.”

That’s what makes him the genius he is.

Tiger and Bill both know that there’s always room for more creativity, more joy, more improvement.

They don’t take anything for granted. No one should. Your mind is the gateway to prosperity, health and joy. Gates always said that he could perform Any task on which he applied his mind. At the age of fourteen Bill was confident that he could be a millionaire by the age of thirty. Well we all know how far that frame of mind has taken him.

”You become what you think about” is the seed to greatness.

Creativity is just a succession of great thoughts. Expose your mind to the great ancient principles revealed in The Science of Getting Rich for Creators program and get ready to unleash the prosperity that is your birthright.

Warning – you’ll be hooked for life!

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. “One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it.” – Tiger Woods. Tiger was given some great advice. More importantly, he was shown how to apply it and succeed. Most people aren’t exposed to great wisdom day in and day out. Get YOUR fix Now.

My Music Picks

Many of you have asked me to recommend more high frequency music selections. So I’ve decided to share with you the short list of some of my all time favorites.

1.You’ll recognize the name Edward Elgar if you’ve ever performed the Pomp and Circumstance march at your high school’s graduation. Elgar wrote some beautiful music, including ‘Sospiri’, an out-of-this world blissful piece, that promises instant inspiration.

2. Sibelius composed an absolutely gorgeous work, ‘The Swan of Tuonela’ right before the outbreak of WWII. I recommend Leopold Stokowski’s recording called ‘Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Liszt’.

3. Massenet’s ‘Meditation on Thaïs’ is one of the great classics of violin repertoire. Check out this recording by one of my favorite musicians, Maxim Vengerov called ‘Vengerov & Virtuosi’.

4. These next two recordings feature musicians you’ll also hear on ‘The Secret Power of Words and Music’ CDs - http://www.artabundance.com/secretpower.htm - namely, the great oboist Allan Vogel and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. The CDs are ‘Baby Needs Bach’ and ‘Baby Needs Music’.

Don’t let those titles scare you. Both CDs have a beautiful selection of music including Chopin’s Berceuse, the sublime slow movement from Mozart’s Piano Concerto No 21, Pachelbel’s Canon – in an arrangement for four guitars – and Brahms’ beloved Lullaby for orchestra.

5. When Grammy-Award winner Allan Vogel commissioned me to
write a piece featuring him and violinist Clayton Haslop, I jumped
at the chance. Principal keyboardist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Joanne Pearce Martin, joined these two world-class musicians and the beautiful result is 'Four Illuminations' featured on The Secret Power of Words and Music 5 CD package.

Happy Listening,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. Use any of these selections as background music while you’re creating or working out. Experience the joy that’s generated when your spine is tingled with high frequency music.

It’s Never Too Late

At age twenty I was told by my physically fit boyfriend’s Dad that once you hit 26 that’s it – your body has hit its peak in physical fitness. I believed that for too many years.

As a result I used that doom and gloom statement as an excuse not to exercise every day.

Now I know better. Because I’m in better shape this very moment than I was in my mid-twenties. Most importantly I’m not listening to anyone who tells me I can’t do something for any reason.

This applies to any endeavor. A few years ago I was shocked to read this.

"By approximately age 11, the neuron circuits that permit all kinds of perceptual and sensory discrimination, such as identifying pitch and rhythm, become closed off. Not using them, dooms the child to be forever tone deaf and offbeat."

This is totally untrue. Unless you believe it.

If it were true, as the author claims, how can he account for the fact that all of these activities DO occur after that age, including aging adults who have Never had musical training.

If you don’t believe me, let me give you a great example - the New Horizons Band started by Dr. Roy Ernst, Chairman of he Department of Music Education at the renowned Eastman School of Music. This brilliant man has formed a band comprised largely of adults between the ages of about 60 to 85, the majority of whom Never had previous music lessons.

All they needed was instruction and encouragement. The eagerness of its members to learn allowed the New Horizons Band to achieve excellence in performance. Not to mention the great pleasure and happiness shared amongst themselves and their audiences.

You see, if the "neuron circuits" were indeed "closed down" in the pre-teen years, how would this be possible. To put it in a nutshell, the circuits are Not closed down – they’re operating just fine.

Listening to music also opens up these circuits. You don’t even have to pay attention to the music. You will STILL get results. In fact music even affects your hormones.

Though this may be news to you, professional athletes and high achievers take the time to get into that blissful state. Their life requires that they have energy. They must be calm in order to focus. And they’re really tuned into the things that help them get into that state.

Most certainly they will tell you to exercise, sleep well and relax – preferably with music. It’s easy to prove it to your self. Just go and experience TheSecret Power of Words and Music CDs.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

Playing Your Way To Prosperity

I remember working long hours when I first got started on the road to prosperity. That was less than a year ago.

I’m becoming much more acquainted with effortless attraction these days. On all levels of my life.

Case in point – for the last week I’ve had several questions about different health topics, such as magnetic qi gong, supplements and eating wild foods.

As luck would have it, my good friend Tony appeared at our home yesterday to drop off some items. Mind you, he’s usually too busy to do this sort of thing and sends his assistant who lives around the corner. Tony, answered all my questions and much more, stayed for a nice long visit and lit up my day.

Furthermore, I had plenty of time in my day to accommodate his visit. No worries, no stress, just the bountiful feeling that comes with knowing you have all the time in the world.

Why am I telling you this?

First, it’s vital to have a supportive, inspiring family of friends. Second, asking questions with the power of emotion behind them, will undoubtedly provide answers sooner than if you ask without passionately wanting the answer.

This is the same passion that will create a life of effortless prosperity. But it’s only available to you when you’re doing what you Love to do.

The key here is to literally See the success of any project in your mind and feel as if it’s ALREADY accomplished even before you get started. Obviously, you’ll only want to see anything in your mind if it’s something you enjoy and resonate with.

This tool is tought in great detail in The Science of Getting Rich for Creators. In fact, I’ve been using it since I got started last summer. And believe me, when you apply this practice you Will work less and play more.

To sum it up, get in touch with what fires you up. Then bring that energy to life in a creative project, visualize its success from the beginning and enrich yourself on all levels - physically, mentally and spiritually.

Once you embark on this path, you’ll make the delightful discovery that your opportunities are endless.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

Why Not Litter

A few days ago I returned from some errands to an incident that still boggles my mind.

I got out of the car opened the passenger door and next thing you know a white SUV slowly drove by, the back passenger window goes down and a blonde teenage girl threw a Styrofoam cup she’d just finished drinking from onto our property.

She was aiming for the day lilies that ring the fence. Shocked at the pea-brain behavior of this girl, who looked college age, I dropped my bags, picked up the cup and stood in the middle of the street with it.

You’re probably wondering why I did this.

Instead I was left with my thoughts about pea-brain size human beings. And the origin of poverty consciousness. Any form of garbage dumping is a sign of deep disconnect. Since everything we do and say is a reflection of who we are, a person who litters is a person who’s un-conscious.

Your mind can either be used as a dumpsite for irrelevant, negative, mindless thoughts or a fertile plain where life-enhancing, beautiful, healthy ideas can flourish. People are either unconscious or conscious of everything they do.

Since we live in a fee-choice universe, we have the glorious freedom to choose between the two. When you choose greatness over mediocrity you’ll never have another guilt-trip ever. Guaranteed.

Why? Because your mind is engaged, aware, and clear. Because consciousness and compassion work hand in hand. Because choosing what is life-generating will Never leave you in doubt.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

Why to Keep Secrets

Ever notice that you tend to like people who like you? And that your likes and dislikes change with time.

It brings up an important point. Namely, put only energy in those relationships that support your vision. Now, this may sound harsh, but consider that every person you allow into your life Affects your life. You attract what you think about, and that includes what you talk about to your friends and loved ones.

To illustrate this, here are three tips.

1. Surround yourself with a group of motivated individuals who support your aspirations wholeheartedly. Your close friends should only feel thrilled about your dreams.

2. Never spill the beans about your goals except to those who support you in achieving them. Guard them as precious secrets so that they can incubate and blossom in total safety. The greatest things are achieved in secret.

3. Completely avoid those folks who don’t want what you want. They become mental and emotionally vampires and will undermine every thought, every action, every dream you share.

You’ll know what type of people I’m talking about in The Science of Getting Rich for Creators. This course tells all about whom to stay away from (and believe me when I say that many people qualify under this category) and whom to share your dreams with. Most importantly this program introduces these Ancient secrets to you in totality. You’re subconscious mind WILL change as a result of applying this explosive material.

And believe me when I use the word explosive, because a large part of people’s inability to prosper has to do with beliefs we acquired as weee youngsters. Beliefs that block success.

Straighten out the kinks in your mind and take a flight into the freedom. The mental shackles you’ll burst open as a result of using this program will Not be missed.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

The Big Mistake

Let me ask you something. Do you think that creating something that makes others feel good is selling out?

If you answered in the affirmative, you’re utterly mistaken.

To create something that others want is Not selling out – it’s simply selling. Not only that, it’s creating good fortune. For yourself and others.

Look, if you love what you do, and others love what you do and want to buy it – that can only be Good News. Because you’re getting in harmony with the universe. There’s nothing morally wrong with it. Absolutely nothing.

I know it might be hard thinking of yourself has creative And financially successful. I’ve sailed that boat in shallow seas most of my life.

And let me tell you something else. I’ve found creators, including myself, to be More stubborn about morality and money than any other group of people. To put it another way, many creative types believe that becoming wealthy Is immoral.

Guess what. The truth of the matter is that it’s Not morally wrong to make others happy while you make yourself happy and prosperous. There’s not one thing wrong with that.

What would be morally wrong is to sell drugs or pornography to kids. That’s wrong!

You’re best creative work comes as a result of being free. In every way. Free from emotional baggage, free all stress and, yes, free from all financial worry. In fact, most stress comes as a direct result of financial debt.

Surviving is not living. It’s incredibly draining. If you truly want to live the best life you’re capable of then step out of poverty consciousness and cast off
the shackles of worry.

Remind yourself daily, ‘By the inch, it’s a cinch – by the yard, it’s hard.’

Warm Regards,

Beach Behavior

Was talking to my friend Kim yesterday about her family’s recent beach vacation.

Going to the beach and immersing yourself in the sounds and sights of waves rolling on shore is one of the most wonderful experiences in life. The negative ions in sea air, coupled with the ebb and flow of sound waves rejuvenates your mind and body on a deep level.

Too often, especially now during summer vacation, there are beach goers who spread sound pollution. Bringing garbage to any natural setting disturbs all who are there to feel nature’s gifts.

Case in point. Someone who just can’t stay away from their radio. They arrive with it blasting in the car and bring their portable boom-box with them. Add to that, that it’s usually low frequencies, i.e. rock and pop, that are polluting the airwaves.

My friend Kim’s solution was this. Go to the beach early in the morning. Come back for late breakfast, a nap, and reading. Then head back to the beach after an early dinner.

Her vacation, which happened during Fourth of July week, turned out to be blissful.

Vibrations in music are just colors. Most music out there in the public eye is pretty dark and muddy. The sounds and rhythms tarnish instead of uplift. We all know how it feels to listen to complainers. This mood dampening music usually complains about something - be it disappointment in love, rejection, loss, anger, desperation, confusion and so on. The lyrics usually tell all.

So next time you head to the beach, or any pristine expression of nature, pick a good time of day and avoid the chatter and noise pollution. Your experience will turn from average to profound.

While you’re driving there, turn on the Renewal CD - it’s perfect for getting you in a good, relaxing, joyful state of mind.

Warm Regards,

Do What You Love

I wanted to share with you what a friend and mentor of mine had to say recently to one of his students.

I’ve always drawn inspiration from those who walk their talk, and my friend Peter Ragnar epitomizes such a one. His road from poor construction worker to prolific writer, world renowned martial artist, health expert and multi-millionaire makes him a beacon of wisdom. Here’s what he said.

“I've always believed, ‘do what you love, the money will come.’

“I've been teaching the things I love to do forever and have discovered that when there is joy in the action, the action attracts prosperity. Thus, the joyful prosperity only makes you better at what you do.

“You constantly seek to be worthy of the rewards you receive everyday. You make a dedication to a life of excellence. When there is no difference between the person you aspire to be and the person you really are -- then you have acheived greatly.

“Don't be dismayed when I tell you I'm still chipping away at my own shortcomings and failing whenever I set the bar too high. So, never give up on your dreams, fight the discouragements, and press on no matter what the critics assault you with!

“Someone said, ‘Life is not a freeway, but a toll road where you have to pay full price.’”


Your passion for goodness defines your life. When you desire to improve your life every day a magical alchemy takes place inside of you.

Once I began to actually Manifest my longing for prosperity, all the weight I was carrying on my shoulders disappeared.

Why?

Because I got up and did something productive. I stopped wondering why I didn’t feel complete. By activating my dream to be free from debt and worry, my dream turned into reality. Doing something towards alleviating any pain is the most wonderful antidote to worry, fear and depression.

So Peter’s words, “do what you love, the money will come,” are truly prophetic. And Peter will readily tell anyone that he didn’t get there by himself. He’s a voracious reader. He memorizes important passages so that his subconscious mind switches gears. He listens to motivational CDs because he knows that Hearing the words makes them penetrate so much deeper.

You too can learn from the masters and speed up your road to prosperity. Immerse yourself in the sounds and words of The Science of Getting Rich for Creators and never look back over your shoulder again.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

The Hot and Cold of Sound

Everyone perceives temperatures differently. Some like it hot, and some like it cold.

Same goes for certain sounds. Everyone hears sound a little differently. The consequence is that sensitivity to noise and hearing loss varies widely.

However, everybody has suffered some kind of hearing loss. Young people who don’t douse their ears with loud pop and rock can sometimes hear up to 25,000hz, but there’s a large percentage of the population who can’t hear tones above 10,000hz.

What are the noises that cause hearing loss, and how are they measured.

All sound is measured in decibels – dB. Each 10dB increase represents a TENFOLD increase in sound energy. So 90dB is ten times noisier than 80dB. It’s similar to how scientists measure earthquakes on the Richter scale.

Here are some examples of common noises going from quiet to dangerous.

Watch ticking – 20 dB
Whisper - 30 dB
Average conversation - 40 dB
Leaves rustling – 40 dB
Quiet neighborhood street - 50 dB
Dishwasher, microwave, blower, furnace 60 dB
Alarm clock buzzer - 70 dB
City traffic - 70 dB
Noisy restaurant – 70 dB
Garbage disposal, vacuum cleaner - 80 dB
Busy city sidewalk - 80 dB

DANGER ZONE
Battery powered siren or toy ambulance 90 dB
Lawn mower 90 dB
Screaming child 90 dB
Subway platform 100 dB
Power drill, chain saw 100 dB
Blow dryer 100 dB
Snowmobile 100 dB
Automobile horn 110 dB
Snowblower 110 dB
Noisy video arcade 110 dB
Rock concert 100-130 dB
Boom cars (when turned up) 125-138 dB
Jet engine at 100 feet 130 dB
Gunshot 140 dB
Jackhammer 180 dB

Here’s how to protect your precious sense of hearing. Limit your exposure to sounds over 85 dB. If you absolutely have to be around sounds above this level, wear ear protection.

Also, when using headphones, do the following. Keep the volume down. Most portable stereos can amplify music to as loud as 110 to 130 dB. What happens is that many people over time prefer listening levels in this harmful range. Remember that previous hearing loss doesn’t mean you won’t have further auditory damage.

So, if your portable CD player has a ten-digit volume wheel set at 4 or higher, you may be damaging your hearing. Limit yourself to one hour at a time and let your ears rest.

Just think of loud sounds just as you would exposure to secondhand smoke. Both damage your health. Safeguard your ears and your preserving an important organ of perception, pleasure and well-being.

Warm Regards,

P.S. There’s no 12-step program for noise-ravaged ears. There IS a program that uses your ears to replenish your body and ignite your mind - use it and recharge your life now.

What You're Exposed To

I started using the browser Safari on my Mac recently. It automatically included a ‘Latest Headlines’ link.

Since I’ve sworn off listening, reading or watching the news, and have done so successfully for a couple of years, I decided to remove the link from my bookmarks toolbar.

So I took my mouse over to the ‘latest headlines’ link to drag it into the trash. As I clicked on it I saw a whole list of headlines pop up and decided to take a look at what people were being exposed to that day.

Just reading them gave me the chills. Here’s a sample.

Train crash kills 30 in Valencia
Militants ‘killed’ in Afghanistan
Murdured girl buried in Belgium
Eight die in fresh Iraq bombings
‘Five killed’ in Sri Lanka blast
28-day terror limit ‘inadequate’
Paranoia appears more common

That last headline really summed it up. ‘Paranoia appears more common.’ Well, dah. How can you not feel more paranoid when your mind is constantly exposed to this barrage of negative news. Even occasional inspiring stories do not eliminate the stress of what makes up the news these days. Just like a few flowers growing in a dump site don’t get rid of the garbage.

Further more, when reading anything, you ‘HEAR’ the words in your mind, even though you’re not vocalizing them. Imagine the effect then that a news broadcast has as it brings these stories to life on TV. Just the sound itself is damaging your cells.

It boils down to getting a daily recipe for depression. A recipe that is totally preventative.

I also have to remind myself, that the brain does NOT know the difference between what’s real and what’s not. What you see and hear is what your mind accepts as your reality. The sounds and pictures you expose yourself to become who you are.

Pretty powerful. And, if you ask me - incredibly liberating. Because, YOU can decide what to expose your mind to.

Just like physical exercise trains your body, inspiring words and sound literally rewire your mind. So, instead of taking your mouse over to the latest news headlines, and put
your destiny back into Your hands.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

How To Attract Abundance

Recently I talked at length to a friend and colleague of mine. His name is Randy – and he’s a hugely successful composer/keyboardist/pianist.

Randy was reminding me how he’s come a long way to where he finds himself now – a happy, healthy and wealthy man with a beautiful family. He reminded me how he used to believe that he lacked the ability to change his life. He believed he was a victim of circumstance. As a result his addictions to that mindset propelled him towards real physical addictions.

I mean, if you don’t feel like you’re in control of your life what does it matter what you put into your body. Or so he thought.

After going through AA and suddenly realizing that, yes, he’s the master of his own universe, he discarded everything about his old life. He emphasized the word Everything.

What we talked about a few days ago is that those who believe in lack attract what they believe in – namely not much to write home about. You can wrap it up in two words – poverty consciousness. Contrast that line of thinking with those who believe that we live in a world of abundance. That mindset literally draws prosperity to you like steel to a magnet. In the guise of helpful people, good ideas and money.

This wealth consciousness equals a life of abundance.

Yes, the formula is very simple, but it can be difficult to implement only because We get in the way. By we I mean that our thoughts about prosperity are often so emotionally skewed that we literally fear becoming wealthy.

Once you expand your horizons to include the good feeling of prosperity in your life – the magic begins. Your creativity finally gets rewarded. The result – more creative juices than you ever realized you had. More ideas coursing through your brain than you could have ever imagined. As another good friend keeps telling me, Ideas are money.

In short, you take charge and create your own reality.

It’s simple. But getting there usually requires some help. That’s where The Science of Getting Rich for Creators comes into play. No person should live without it.

P.S. Your thoughts instantly change the chemicals in your brain. The molecules respond to your emotions. Negative thoughts generate immune-depleting chemicals. Positive thoughts create chemicals that facilitate happiness and health. The choice is yours. Don’t wait. Choose prosperity over poverty now.

It’s Elemental, My Friend

Let’s retrace our steps back to science class in high school. Remember the periodic table of elements.

That table is the basis of understanding the formation of matter.

What’s truly amazing is that the periodic table resembles the overtone series in music. When you sing or play any note a series of overtones are created.

Here’s an example. If you play the note C, the middle C in the piano, it will vibrate at 256 hz. That’s the note you’ll hear foremost. However, when that note vibrates at 256 times a second many other notes besides the fundamental C tone are also sounding. These are the overtones.

Now let’s bring in Barbara Hero. She demonstrated the powerful effects of positive and negative frequencies by using the harmonic series.

Hero placed a mirror under a speaker system which vibrated the mirror when two different frequencies, or notes, were created. Then she projected a laser at the mirror. This laser was reflected onto a screen and created an image for each sound.

Those intervals – two frequencies – which were created by the harmonic series created shapes which were GEOMETRICALLY PERFECT. Also, these shapes, such as a circle, remained stationary for as long as the intervals were sounding.

Intervals which weren’t harmonically related created shapes that were not geometrically perfect AND their shapes decayed while the sounds were sounding.

Now you can see why how sounds are put together is critical. Just two notes, played or sung at the same time, either create harmony or disharmony. Music truly reflects our state of being. Changing to positive music is like changing to a healthy, nutritious diet. Your cells respond to both wonderfully.

Whether you’re lying in the sun, lounging on a hammock, or in your home, charge up your mind and body with some delicious sounds - it’s your instant relaxation recipe for life.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. As you know, the vibrations of harmonic sounds create shapes. Try putting sand on a metal or glass plate and stroking the edge of the plate with a violin bow. Then watch the vibrating sand patterns take on amazing shapes. It’s a fun way to see a ‘live’ demonstration of the power of sound. Go hear to read more here.

What Sound Looks Like

Have you ever wondered what a melody looks like? And I mean in 3-D.

An amazing Swiss scientist spent ten years of his life devoted to bringing sound frequencies to life. He used inorganic matter, like water, plastics, paste and dust, put them on steel plates and vibrated these plates with different sound frequencies.

Then he took photographs. Thousands of them.

Dr. Hans Jenny’s photos are amazing. They look like starfish, human organs, and underwater life.

What he proved is that sound has the ability to create form. Here’s why.

As soon as these inanimate blobs of liquid, pastes and dust in Dr Jenny’s experiments are exposed to sound waves they begin to undulate and move. Remember these are lifeless materials. As the sound continues to affect them, they begin to take form.

Now they’re no longer shapeless blobs. No, they’re pulsing and vibrating as the sounds course through them, looking like they’re Living Breathing Creations.

Of course, they’re not really alive – they’re merely assuming life through the extraordinary power of sound.

Once the sound stops, they turn back into formless blobs.

It’s the Cinderella Blob fairy tale. But this isn’t make believe. It’s the true story of sound’s deep affect on Everything.

Different frequencies even generate circular patterns. They resemble sun spots, solar flares and the formation and rotation of spiral galaxies. Unusual 3-D formations occur defying gravity and laws of motion - but all adhere strictly to the dynamics of the generating sound.

In other words, these sound frequencies look like Creation.

These experiments also explain how sound effects our cells, which, after all are living organisms. Watch for your brain and body’s subtle responses to different sounds. Notice when you have sound cravings. Then switch on the
The Secret Power of Words and Music CDs and restore those thirsty cells with some high frequency tones.

Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. Don’t miss out on the new The Science of Getting Rich for Creators program. This powerful course also uses sound to ignite and restructure your subconscious mind. Most folks have hang-ups about money. Get rid of them now, and never regret it. Grab your copy now.
