"Why Do Some Affirmations *Work* - and Others Don't?"
- by Jeff Staniforth

==========================================

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:

"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?

I

This Prayer was shared with me by another member of the spiritual community, who is also running a campaign to promote world peace.

Please read this prayer aloud...

Dear God,
Most Highest Being, Divine One, Source of Love, and Giver of Life,
Help us grow in wholeness, and Cherish everyday of Our lives,
May we be thankful for the gift of Life and may we be Healthy within Our Hearts and Minds,

We ask you God,
That we may all seek to do that is good in our lives,
So that we stay on the path of Righteousness,
And that in Giving to Others,
May we find Peace within our Spirit

Great God we pray for;
Violence never again!
War never again!
Terrorism never again!

And that we can find within us,
Love for both Ourselves and Others

May All Religions, all Races Unite as One
For the Good of Our Planet

From the centre which we call the race of men
May the Quality of Goodness Prevail
And may the door where evil dwells be closed forever
May we Receive illumination from the Universe...
And hurt each other no more

Finally God...
Let Light and Love and Power
Restore balance and Harmony to this Earth...

So that Our Children can live in happiness

For many more generations to come

AMEN

Thank-you for caring enough to make our planet a better place.

With Gods help we will succeed.

Imagination: The Most Powerful Force

Albert Einstein said that imagination is the greatest creative force. Why would such a great man say something that sounds so silly and trivial? Look at those words again: 'greatest creative force'. Imagination? Not education? Nor money? Nor luck?

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said that imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known. Before you pass him away as a crackpot, know that Mr. Hill was an advisor to two U.S. presidents, was commissioned by the great and wealthy Andrew Carnegie to teach people about making their dreams come true, and has been thanked by many of the greatest people around the world for the success he helped them achieve. People like F. W. Woolworth (founder of Woolworth's), Woodrow Wilson (former U.S.President), George Eastman (founder of Kodak), W. M. Wrigley, JR. (Wrigley's), and many others have used his teachings to manifest their dreams.

Imagination is the force that takes you to places you have never been.

Henry Ford relied on imagination and belief. Walt Disney said that had he not seen Disneyland in his mind, the rest of the world would not have seen it on earth. Bill Gates first imagines his products before they become actual software that we rely on. And it would serve you well to remember that many of the world's greatest people started with nothing and built empires. They had a dream. And the universe conspired, as it always does, to let them experience their imagination. The universe always lets you experience your imagination, whatever it may be.

The Bible says 'As a man thinketh, so shall he become'. It also says 'Without vision we perish'.

Your mind's images are literally the blueprint from which your world is built.

Your mind is infinite. What are your limits? What are limits, except those that you say are so? Why else would two different people have different 'limits'?

Life is images of the mind, expressed. What this means is that Life, The Source, uses your thoughts, your mental images, as the instructions by which to create your reality in the material world. Life expresses your mental images into physical reality. To express is to make known, to state, articulate, communicate, convey. The force of Life makes known your thoughts to yourself and everyone else by forming them into experiences and objects that can be experienced, here in the physical world. You experience your own thoughts first hand, your images of your mind, so that you may know which ones are suitable and which ones are not. That is how you know yourself, that is how you experience your self, and that is how you grow. This is the supreme purpose of this physical world that we are now in. It is designed to enable you to experience your Self. It is designed to enable you to experience an idea and its effects and consequences.

Life does not select which ones of your images to express and which ones not to. How would it choose for you? It therefore expresses all of them to the extent that you have them and believe them. You have true free will. This free will is truly free because of the fact that all of it is acted upon without filtering or favoring. Free will is truly free because of the fact that it actually gets results all the time, not just some of the time, and it gets them exactly.

Your ideas, visions and dreams, whatever they may be, are the prophecies of what you shall one day become and achieve. You can predict your outer life tomorrow by looking at your inner self today. You can change your tomorrow by changing your inner self today.

As you think, there do you find yourself. You attract the people that have something to teach you in line with your thoughts, people who have something to learn from you in line with your thoughts, and you repel those who have nothing more to learn from you and give you in line with your thoughts. The same goes for places and conditions, situations and environments.

Many things influence your imagination - past fears, desires, poor mental training, lack of awareness, sub-personalities, lack of goals - any much more. But anything that influences your imagination is under your control. You can stop it simply by becoming aware of it and releasing it. And this is where awareness, consciousness, comes in as the key to clearing your mind of the debris that brings suffering to you and sabotages your success.
