Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.

Summary: Recession proof your mind. When the world is talking about a recession you should think the complete opposite. Rich people have developed a habit of always thinking big and knowing they are rich. The articles refers to the movie THE SECRET, and talks about how you receive what you think, therefor if you open up a bill and you think debt, you will get more debt.

Reflection: I love finding all these articles that talk about things that are the law of attraction but in different words. readind more about things like this it makes me think about how i see it in my everyday life and how i know people in my life who really have no money, and i just so happen to hear them talk about how broke they are all the time, If only they started to think they were getting rich. I am going to now go read the movie "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind."

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.

SUMMARY: This article does not say that positive thinking will manifest a positive situation but what it does say is that any situation you are in can be positive depending on how you are perceiving the situation. It says that it depends on you to be aware of your attitude and to try not to have negative minded people. You will be a failure if failure is what you think. You are what you think.

Reflection: I really love how it says the key is to look for opportunity. I think it was very effective when he gave the quote from Thomas Edison "There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew." after a building with 2,000,0000 of equipment of his was burned down. Learning to use the Law of Attraction doesnt work if you can not learn to change situations that you would normally perceive as bad into something good. every door that closes, another one opens.

H. W. Dresser, "New Thought." Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia,(july 2010): 6th Edition; p1-1. Academic Search Premier. 3 Nov 2010.

SUMMARY: This article refers to when the Law of Attraction was referred to the New Thought Movement which was the late 1800's and the early 1900's, it began after the discovery of what disease can to your body and it became an entire movement. There were conventions held and the international new thought movement alliance was formed. It was a new approach on life and conduct. The new thought movement had people like ralph waldo trine who later became well known.

Reflection: The more I research the more names I find for the law of attraction. I like to find things from a long time ago. The law of attraction to a lot of people they have to TRY to believe it, me I have proven it to myself so many times over the past few years that I know it's true, so finding articles like this to show that there was once a movement in a time like that is very rewarding.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.
Summary: This article speaks of cancer and the severity of it. It talks about how at this time on average cancer took a life every single minute. It was highest killer of kids from age 3 to 14. As much money and effort that is put into finding a cure for cancer there is still no luck, and no matter what awesome thing the world does the cure for cancer is not one of them. This article talks about how the first step for the development of cancer is the break down of the immune system. It has been proven that the immune system is improved with good self esteem, happiness, and an over all positive thinking.
Reflection: I like this article just because it is a scholarly source to show what I already knew. The movie The Secret features a lady who got breast cancer and was cured within 3 months with no treatment except for laughter and positive thnking. Its proven that stress creates disease, which makes sense if the immune system can be improved with positive thinking then the immune system can be put down by negative thinking. I personally know a person who was paralized, they told her her level of severity which would be from right below the arms down, 3 months later looking at those x rays again realizing that they diagnosed her wrong, and she is was supposed to be a quadrapalegic, but because she thouht she was supposed to still be able to use her arms, she can.

Marglin, Elizabeth. "The PLACEBO Affect." Natural Health, , Vol. 40 Issue 5 (June 2010): p68-95. Health Source - Consumer Edition. Web. 28 Oct 2010.

Summary: The mind-body connection plays a huge — and hugely underestimated — role in our ability to heal ourselves. The placebo was very underestimated and thought to be bogus until the mid 1950's when studies were done and the affect of placebo's started to become taken seriously. "Salt injections masquerading as morphine actually decreased pain; fake knee surgery improved mobility in the joints. Conversely, "nocebo" effects (the unpleasant, and even harmful reactions that arise in a patient after taking a placebo as a treatment known to have negative side effects) also had to be considered." This article also talks about drug companies and how this would affect them. It refers to the fact that people are conditions, which is true, to reach for medicine and to of course only THINK IN THEIR MIND that a pill is the only thing that will save them.

Refliection: The Placebo affect is very helpful when it comes to backing up the law of attraction. The law of attraction is based on bringing what you think. Of course if you think the sugar pill is medicine it is definitely going work like medicine. The article also speaks of how when people see a doctor in their typical white coat they already start to feel better and less stressed, this wraps back to the law in a way that it is proven that stress creates disease so if you are taking something even though it doesn't have any medication in it you are creating a healthier you just by feeling better and less stressed. You are what you think.

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.

The purpose of this article is to relay to people that in a time like this in our country when all you hear is words like debt, recession, low economy, you should shift your mind to think the opposite which should help your life to do the opposite of debt and recession. The audience of this article might be someone like me, doing research, or most likely someone who runs a business and is looking into the way the economy has affected people who now are lacking confidence to spend money on their business and take risks like they normally would. Given the information that I have provided to me about this author I can not say what her background is but considering the topic I dont believe that there are any biases. The only thing that could be considered is if maybe someone simply refused to believe that just an attitude could help a business.

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.

The purpose of this article is to tell people the importance of having a positive attitude and how maintaining a calm focused, positive mind can some times be a challenge it is well worth the effort. You must focus on thinking positive even times where all your mind wants to do is think about the not so positive situation. this also includes staying away from people who are negative which can also be an obstacle depending on the part they play in your life. According to this article every bad situation has an opportunity, a way to perceive the event as good, a bright side to all dark spots. The audience of this article would be people who are either researching things that have to do with mental self help or people who are already very into metaphysical things, the power of the mind is not a secret anymore. I am not sure what the background to this author would be but he gives a recommendation to 10 different books that are about the power of positive thinking, creating success, and mind. Giving these books as a reference I think help me be confident in the article because I can then go and look at 10 different books to read how they would explain the same thing. I dont think there is any biases in this other then the fact that the author believes that the mind can affect life in either negative or positive ways where as someone else might believe you have no control over the situations you encounter in your life.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.

The purpose of this article is to bring people to awareness about the immune system, its cause when its weak and how your attitude plays an affect. They do a very good job of introducing all the information, starting with cancer statistics and then talking about how cancer starts (break down of immune system) and then talking about what major things affect the immune system. They talk about how it is proven that the immune system is improved with a good attitude, good self esteem, and very little stress. The audience for this article could be people who are interested in the mind and how it affects health overall, the audience could be people who are battling health problems and are seeking natural treatment and cures. I feel confident in this article because they reference their sources and have a lot of factual statistical information to analyze the situation. I do not know anything about the author but I feel that they have a very professional tone in this article which also increases my level of confidence in it.
