magnets 101

forget north and south - they are interchangable. sometimes north is geomagnetic north, which is negative, and sometimes it is north-pointing which is the north needle on a compass which is positive so it will point to the negative pole. geomagnetic south(the actual magnetic field at that point) is positive. i go exclusively with pos and neg and eliminate all of that confusion. negative is the healing energy and positive is the stimulating energy.

if you are making alex chiu rings, then pos goes up on the right hand and neg goes up on the left hand.

if you have magnets and you dont know what they are, first find the poles that attract - you know you have opposites. then use a compass to determine: if the north needle points to it then it is negative like the north pole. that should get you where you need to go Tweet
