Law of Attraction

Affirmations for beginners

Affirmations are used a lot with the Law of Attraction. These are one of the main tools utilised in day to day lives of those of us who strive to utilise the forces of the universe to help us live our ideal lives.

What are affirmations?
Affirmations are statements that are repeated either consciously or subconsciously. They can be negative or positive. An example of a positive affirmation could be "I know I can do this", and an example of a negative affirmation could be "why cant I ever get a break".

How do affirmations work?
Affirmations programme the mind the same way a script programmes a computer. Repetitive words give the mind something to focus on and it automatically triggers the subconscious mind to start looking for ways to make those repetitive words reality.

Tips when using affirmations
Affirmations are more successful when you are specific and when you attach a positive emotion to them.

Use affirmations that are in the present tense.

Try to use as many of the senses as possible when you do your affirmations. For instance, I write mine down in my journal at least once a day. I also have them in places that I will see them and I read them through to myself both in my mind and out loud. I meditate on my affirmations and visualise myself being/doing or having whatever it is I am affirming.

Belief can play a very big part with affirmations for some people. For some, constant repetition of a statement that contradicts their current beliefs can sometimes hinder their progress. I would suggest if you have trouble seeing yourself as "A money magnet" or something similar, try a different approach.

One statement that worked for me was "I am the possibility of (insert affirmation here).
For me, possibilities are endless, its a belief I have that is real and I feel it. So when I tried to say to myself "I am focused and productive" my mind was screaming back at me, "No your not". After awhile I gave up on it. However, when I changed it to "I am the possibility of focused and productive thoughts" I was able to actually get my subconscious to start finding ways of making this a reality.

The point is to make it realistic for you. However, some people can fake it till they make it so use whichever form fits you best.

It may surprise some to know that there are more than 1 Universal Laws.

There are around 12 main Laws and over 20 sub laws.

The 12 Laws are as follows and are in no particular order:

The Law of Divine Oneness - This law is based on the belief that everything is connected and that everything we believe, think, say and do affects everyone and everything in the universe

The Law of Vibration - This law is based on Einstein's discovery that 'matter is energy'. Everything has a vibration level and the level you are at will also attract the same.

The Law of Correspondence - This Law is based on the belief that everything on the physical has a
corresponding principle in the etheric or the universe. "As above, so below".

The Law of Attraction - The most popular Law around, this Law is based on the belief that we attract into our lives that which we think of and focus on most.

The Law of Cause and Effect - This Law is based on the belief that we reap what we sow.

The Law of Action - This law states that in order for us to get what we want we must take the relevant actions

The Law of Compensation - This Law is based on the belief that our actions will dictate our rewards.

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy - This Law is based on the belief that everyone has within them the power to change the conditions of their lives.

The Law of Relativity - This Law is based on the belief that each of us is given challenges for a reason.
