Amulet and talisman have been around since the beginning of time. These are objects that either bring luck or protect from evil. I'm very certain, though I have no proof, that the first man to walk the earth probably found a rock or shell or acorn and thought to himself, 'This is a lucky item. I'm going to carry it with me to protect me.'

By expressing this feeling for his rock or shell, the shell or rock became imbued with meaning. Where this item may have had no special value to anyone else walking the earth, to him it was filled with the power of protection and luck.

And why not? Us humans become attached to things. From baby blankets to crucifix necklaces. We believe rings symbolize love and commitment. It's a beautiful aspect of humanity if you think about it. We animate inanimate objects to connect us, protect us, give us love and luck and money and ask them to repel evil (crucifix to vampire comes to mind).

Amulets or talismans can be anything-gems, coins, stones, shells, rings, symbols, statues and even drawings or words.

This is not to suggest you worship any false gods or get on board with new age jargon, but to ask you to focus on affluence, your own affluence, and how having a symbol of that present or future relationship to affluence can really create more of what you're looking for. Maybe you carry around a hundred dollar bill or wear an expensive watch. These are symbols of affluence.

This symbol or charm or talisman embodies wealth. With it, you're carrying around the process of persuasion. This equates, in your other than conscious mind with a large capacity to improve your life and reach your goals.

When I was a child, my father carried a cross pins around. I was so eager to have my own set when I grew up. At age sixteen I was given my own gold cross pins. This made me ecstatic and I felt I had really made it in life. I carried them everywhere. I loved them. My friends would tease me. They'd say, 'Why are you wearing those?' I would respond, 'My dad gave them to me. I like them.'

Now I carry a one ounce gold coin and a one ounce silver coin. They're not only religious in nature for me, but a very tangible symbol of wealth. I take time everyday to commune with the coins and express my gratitude that even in this economy, they're increasing in value.

I like that they are absolutely real. If I wanted to go and cash them in today, I could go right now and cash them in.

The other thing these symbols do is ground us and remind us. If, every time you stick your hand in your pocket you feel the gold coin or nugget, if every time you need to know what time it is you gaze upon that Rolex, if every time you get dressed in the morning and put on that gold or platinum necklace, well, then you've been reminded. I am a money magnet. I attract affluence on every level. I am grateful for what I have and what will soon be mine.

That's awesome! A beautiful constant reminder to remain ever focused on your affluence.
