Learn How Affirmations Can Enhance Your Spiritual Life!
By definition, an affirmation is a statement repeated time and again either verbally or mentally -- or written
down. The words of the affirmation statement - in themselves -when spoken, thought of, or written without a
pictorial (visualized) or emotional connection -- make a very weak affirmation.
Affirmations, when worded correctly -- and when emotionally charged - are able to tap into the unlimited creative
power of your subconscious mind, and manifest your desires.
Affirmations are not all created equal. Some are, of course, better than others. There are power affirmations
that have been proven again and again to work - and I'll reveal some of them in a moment.
When you examine the structure of these power affirmations, you, too, can learn how to create your own
powerful affirmations for your specific purposes.
Consider The Following Sample Affirmations:
I am what I choose to be
All my needs are met instantaneously
I love and accept myself exactly as I am
[ ]comes to me easily and effortlessly (Fill in the blank with what you desire.)
I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit
I now create my wonderful, ideal life
What do the above power affirmations have in common?
1) They're Stated In The Present Tense.
An affirmation is more effective when stated in the present tense. For example; "I now have a wonderful
job." Avoid affirming something in the future tense, e.g. "I am going to have a wonderful job" or the
results will always be waiting to happen.
2) They Express A Positive Statement.
Affirmations need to be stated in the most positive terms possible. Avoid negative statements. Affirm what
you do want, rather than what you don't want. For example: "I am no longer sick." This is a negative statement.
Instead, affirm: "I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit."
This statement is much more powerful as it is positive and reinforces your desired goal and doesn't confuse your
subconscious mind with the mention of the undesirable condition.
3) They're Short And Specific.
Short affirmations are easy to say, and have a far greater impact at the subconscious level than those which
are long and wordy. Keeping them specific and to the point adds power as the idea is uncluttered by extraneous
elements.
The Mechanics That Make Affirmations Powerful Are:
Repetition - The importance of repetition cannot be overemphasized. It imprints the affirmation into your
subconscious mind.
Emotions - Get involved, be passionate, and use your emotions. Think carefully about the meaning of the words
as you repeat them rather than just writing, typing or saying them.
Persistence -Practicing affirmations with persistence achieves results much sooner than practicing them
periodically. Successive sessions will have a compounding effect.
Belief - You don't necessarily have to believe your affirmation initially, in order for it to work. Belief will
grow with your forthcoming successes. What you do need is the ability to feel what it would be like when the desire
you're affirming is fulfilled, or your need met.
Every time that you have a need -- and that need is met -- a certain "feeling" is produced in you. You need
to evoke that same feeling when you state your affirmation. In other words, you need to feel with every fiber
of your being that what you desire has already happened. Without this feeling, your affirmation is powerless.
Impress Yourself - Personalize your affirmations. They must resonate with you -- feel right for you.
The stronger your connection with the affirmation, the deeper the impression it makes on your mind, and the
sooner you will experience positive results.
So there you have it, the simple formula for creating affirmations that work. Based on the above, you can
easily create your own affirmations to manifest any desire or need you have in life.
TIP: Although the practice of affirmations is easy, some people find it challenging to repeat the
affirmations continuously while maintaining the highly charged emotional state necessary in making affirmations
work. DID YOU KNOW... that you can use your computer to make the affirmation process effortless - and that
you can automate those challenging aspects (such as maintaining highly charged emotions), and thereby, manifest
your desires more quickly? Go here to find out how.
