Affirmations as a tool for creating positive change in your life

Long
before the secret or powerful intentions I was doing affirmations. I started doing them in my teenage years after delving into metaphysical books around the age of 14. I read up on Edgar Cayce, Shirley Maclaine's books and Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra. I also dabbled with Dick Sutphen and Jonathan Livingstone Seagull and books along that line.

Did affirmations work?

I think they did and still do. Mostly they do, sometimes they do not. When they do not I accept that their is a reason or a block to it's fruition.

Affirmations I said when I was younger were:

I am happy, healthy and radiant

I am energetic and full of life



Those seem to be the two main ones I used as a teenager.



Like a magician one can change their life through the power of positive thinking!

Warren Buffet becomes the richest american 

This is the best example of the metaphysics of money. Joe Vitale sent me an email. (I am signed up for his emails) which also talks about this same idea which is that it is all about how we feel about money. If you fear poverty, you will create that. If you know you will be okay, you will be. If you know you can make money at this time like Warren Buffet than you will.

Warren Buffet made $8 billion dollars in the past week. It just goes to show that it is about your attitude. You do not need to be in fear. There is plenty of money out there. The world did not just suddenly lose it's money. Warren Buffet found and magnatized $8 billion to himself.

We can be the Warren Buffet's of the world. I see no reason to be mad at him nor feel he should share his money. We just have to learn to do what he does. What is his secret?

Warren Buffet is a very generous man and has given away billions of dollars. At this time he has $58,000,000,000 net worth.

Amazing isn't it?

If he can magnatize that amount of money we can learn to be okay or wealthy also.

Believe me my husband and I got hit by this economic crisis last year. He was a lender(they are not the greedy ones). He made $100,000 a year. The real estate market, lenders and loan officers were already hit by this first before anyone else. When the economy slowed there first our income went away first. We lost our house last year. In my case my husband then had two heart attacks. So it has been quite a year. I still believe however we can be okay.

We moved out of California to Oregon where it is cheaper to live. So far we are doing okay.

We can all be okay during these times. In fact there is alot of opportunity at times like this. Warren Buffet and Joe Vitale know that.

Read Gia's the metaphysics of money for a great description on your attitude towards money.

Change your attiutde towards money 

I love Gia's lens on this! It says it perfectly

Do not be in fear during this economic crisis

Powerful Intentions 





I belong to a site called Powerful Intentions. I have belonged to it for almost 2 years and it is how I met my husband. Funny thing. It is not even a dating sight. We met in the old P.I. forum that existed in the Soul Mate forum coincidentally enough.

Powerful Intentions

In my many years working with affirmations I learned to use I AM statements.

I later studied Kaballah where I learned that one should say an affirmation as if it is so like this:

I know I am healthy
I find that using the I know and I am statements are the most powerful.



One fun thing I like to do is to write a list at the beginning of the year and look at it at the end of the year to see what manifested.

Usually about 80% manifests...

So, my take on powerful intentions is that yes for the most part it does work.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success 

Deepak Chopra

1. The Law of Pure Potentiality
In my essential state I am spirit. That is my internal reference point and the ultimate ground of being. In Bohm's Holographic Universe it is the implicate order from which everything emerges...the unified field. Experience of it is pure joy -- bliss. It is the source of everything, and we must purposefully be aware of it and spend time with it to experience it. Potentially we are one with it.

Generation of the creative process in the stillness of the mind.
Organization in the dynamism of the stillness of spirit which creates the mind.
Delivery and doing is in the body and the world.

Know the self as that mind...pure consciousness. If I align with that power then I am aligned with the Source of everything in the universe. But how do we do that? How do we get there? We do that through the experience of silence. I am pure spirit...to get in touch with that I must take time daily to:

A) Commune with nature and silently witness the intelligence in every little thing
B) Take time for silence and meditation
C) Cease from judging...experience the silence and get in touch with pure potentiality.

To paraphrase an ancient mystic:
I was not aware the day the lotus bloomed... there was sadness... it was unheeded. Then I began to experience a fragrance...like the summer trying to heed itself. Suddenly, I noticed that the lotus was blooming within my own heart.

The observer, the process of observation, and the observed are all one. There are poles of opposites...light and dark. Life moves through this. Accept it and spontaneously experience it without judgment and fighting.

There is an affirmation which goes:
Today I will judge nothing that occurs and therefore I will create silence in my mind and therefore I will communicate with the cosmic mind that is running the universe. It whispers to us in the silent spaces between thoughts. It orchestrates infinite diversity. Whatever I can imagine I can create. I will realize my goals...materially, emotionally, and spiritually.



2. The Law of Giving
This frail vessel...empty again and again...fill it...still pour...still room to fill.

The universe runs on dynamic exchange. Dynamic systems are those systems that constantly move and change, live and breath, and have flux of energy. Giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy. We must be willing to give that which we seek. That, in turn, will keep abundance and energy flowing through our lives. Christ said give and it shall be given unto you. It is a matter of circulation. If we stop the flow we interfere with intelligence and cause stagnation, decay, coagulation and death of energy. The human body is a devise which captures energy, circulates it, and gives it back to the universe.

We must also be aware of the intention behind giving. Give with a joyful attitude...a joyful frame of mind. This will become its own journey full of joy, exuberance, and immediate gratification. I say to myself, "Wherever I go, whoever I meet, I will give a gift and receive."
Of course, the most precious gifts are those of caring, affection, attention, appreciation, and love. Affection is touching in a caring way. Touching has the capacity to cause the release of healing biochemicals in the body of both the one touching and the one being touched. It is a physiological response. Attention is listening with our whole being. It circulates energy in your life.



3. The Law of Karma
Karma is a Sanskrit word that means action...choice making. Every moment there are infinite choices available. We make them consciously or unconsciously. Every moment one choice is the most karmicly correct, appropriate, and evolutionary. It is the one that will bring joy and fulfillment to oneself and others who are affected by it. Every choice generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. If we chose that which is joy and happiness and fulfillment for others, it will be joy and happiness and fulfillment for ourselves. Help someone...be helped.

How do we actualize this law? Nature gives us a computing system...a system of intelligence...intuition...which is the finest level of feeling within ourselves. We can use that system to link to the spaces between thoughts where there is infinite correlation, infinite possibility. We have the ability to take an infinity of possibilities and simultaneously create events that will fulfill our desires.

Our bodies can think, kill germs, monitor the movement of the stars while incorporating that into our biochemical processes, and play music all at the same time. This is not a linear process, and every cell within the body has this ability. We can access it by listening to messages from the body...comfort/discomfort...pleasure/disgust. We can be tuned in to the messages and have a heightened sense of awareness. We can tune in to the finest level of feeling.

Cultivate body awareness and listen to what the body is saying. Ask the body...do you feel comfort or discomfort? The heart is an organ of wisdom and intelligence. Bring your choice from a level of subconsciousness to consciousness. Observe your choice without labeling it...just witness it...bring it to consciousness. Then foresee all the consequences of that choice and ask yourself, "Will this bring fulfillness and happiness to me and those affected?" Then ask the body, and "listen to how it feels."

The heart is wise and sober, not sentimental. In one of Castaneda's books Don Juan says that we do not need sentimentality on the path to realization. He says to beware of those who weep with it for they have realized nothing. What we need is sobriety. Witness the consequences and ask the body and listen. Ask the heart for guidance and listen. Say to yourself, "As I listen I will create all things I desire in my life."

Karma is the software of the soul. It is physical/subtle/ causal. There is an endless cycle of karma...action, memory, desire, action again. Every thought is karmicly generated. We cannot try to have a positive attitude, but our attitude will change if our choices are appropriate. The choices will produce a change in thought. Every thought is a memory or a desire... an interpretation or a choice. We are infinite choice makers and interpreters. If we use conscious choice making from a deep level then we can create what we want. Karma and giving are intimately related. Giving is karma...creating potentiality for space/time events in the future.

There is the age old question of whether the universe is preordained (deterministic) or whether we have freedom of choice. When we are unaware, then we are determined ... Pavlovian...at the mercy of our reactions to what anyone else does or says. But if we are aware (and spirituality is a progression into that domain of awareness that is more aware...aware of awareness itself) then evolution is the nature of life. Karma is the ultimate affirmation of freedom. Swami Vivikananda has said, "Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. Our thoughts, words, and deeds are the threads of the net that we throw around ourselves."



4. The Law of Least Effort

Lao Tsu (an ancient Chinese prophet) said, "An integral being knows without knowing, sees without looking, accomplished without doing." Nature's intelligence functions effortlessly. It is carefree...full of harmony and joy. If we harness those forces with laughter, we can create with effortless ease. Nature works with the intelligence of total mind...Generation...Organization...Delivery. It is spontaneous and frictionless. With total mind access we can do less and accomplish more. This is the opposite of what we generally think and do. We work hard. We are ambitious. We want the certainty of the known. But the unknown has creative potential.

How do you put this law into practice? How do you align with total mind?

A.) The Principle of Acceptance:
Accept this moment as it is. The universe has conspired to create it. It is precious. Put your attention on it in the presence of the infinite total mind that creates everything. If things are not going your way then you must let go of how you think it should be. The universe has plans...surrender to this moment and accept things as they are, not as you wish they would be.

B.) Responsibility:
It means simply the ability to have a response. The more you create response and challenge...the more responsible you are. Problems are opportunities for growth. You must re-label them. You must get in touch with your feelings and emotions as you have them. Life moves between the two banks of pleasure and pain. If you do not release pain or accept it as it happens, then it will manifest later as anger, anxiety, and fear. When these are directed at the self then guilt arises which depletes energy and results in depression. These arise if you do not get in touch with your pain as it occurs. Responsibility is the ability to surrender to pain as well as to pleasure. Life moves between the two banks. The problems arise when you get stuck on either bank.

C.) Relinquish the need to defend your point of view:
The Yoga Sutras say that you are invincible when you practice defenselessness. When you are defenseless...all around you cease to feel hostility. Therefore there is nothing to attack



5. The Law of Intention and Desire

Inherent in every desire and intention is the mechanics of fulfillment. When we introduce intent into pure potentiality, it sets into process all things. We can desire from a level of silence...in a field o

 

6. The Law of Detachment

There are two centers of being in action. The ego (which is the objective referral) takes action, anticipates response, experiences fear, can feel wounded, and is subject to the bounds of time. The Spirit, which is beyond the masks of the ego, is timeless. If the Spirit is cultivated as the internal reference point, then you can be an alert witness of your life with a sort of detachment. You recognize that you are not the roles that you are playing. You may play many roles, but you are not them. Become aware and stop identifying with the roles. A spontaneous detachment will occur...a detachment from the goals. You still have goals, but you are not so attached to them. You become process oriented, not outcome oriented. You walk the road because you want to walk it...enjoying the scenery.

Certainty and security are based on the past. There is a wisdom in uncertainty that creates freedom from that past, freedom from the prison of the known. It opens you up to the field of all possibilities...the dance of the universe. The known is a rigid framework. When you surrender to the unknown, you step into the field of infinite possibility all the time. Things happen that you never anticipated. There is an element of opportunity and surprise, and yet preparedness.



7. The Law of Dharma

Dharma has to do with your purpose in life. Khalil Gibran wrote that "when you work you are the flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music...you are the cloth woven from the heart threads for your beloved to wear." Dharma contains that sense of beauty and of "doing the right thing". To align with dharma involves the recognition of several principles:

A.) Each person alive has unique gifts, special talents for service to others. When you use those gifts in your own unique way you open yourself up to escape time and experience timeless mind. It is easy to remember experiences where you were so involved in doing something you enjoyed that you lost track of time. Generate...Organize... Deliver. Experience joy, ecstasy, exultation.

B.) We are here to help each other. We can change the internal dialogue. The ego says," What's in it for me?" The Spirit says, "What can I give?" When we give up our self centeredness, we open ourselves up to universality.

C.) We can experience the Higher Self. We can recognize that we are not human with occasional spiritual experiences...but spirits with occasional human experiences. We need to lovingly nurture the god/goddess in embryo which is within each of us.

Make a list of your talents and ask yourself, "How can I put them to service for humanity?" Joseph Campbell said that when you want to know what it is that you are supposed to be doing with your life, you should follow your bliss. Then you will be in tune with dharma.

We are gods in embryo... connected to the Source that creates everything. As our awareness of this fact expands, awareness itself shifts and new states of awareness become possible and accessible. We begin by merely desiring to begin.

The Secret 

It seems the Secret tells you that you can manifest things or your intentions without really telling you how to do it. It has a positive feel to it and it will inspire change in your life.

It fails to mention that we do not always manifest what we desire for various reasons.

I like this movie as a form of inspiration, but to learn about affirmations or manifesting your intentions I would use other books or movies.

Many people seem to love the Secret.

When I met my husband he asked me if I knew about The Secret. I asked him, what secret?

He told me he was talking about the movie. He bought me a copy once he realized I had not seen it.

After seeing it I informed him I really liked it, although it was not saying anything new.

It sure did catch on though and became very popular.

The Attractor Factor 

Collage of your desires 

I have been making visual collages of my desires by cutting pictures and words out of magazines for many years, so have many people I've known.

The Secret calls this same thing A Vision Board which seems like a good name for it.

Call it whatever you want, but it is a very useful tool in creating or manifesting your desires.

The reason it helps is because seeing it visually every day reminds you of your goal and it sends the message of that desire to your subconcious.

It is important to think of what you desire as already being true




hummingbirdsunset print



Tools and Techniques 

Collage or Vision Board

Cut out magazine pictures and words, whatever you are attracted to keeping in mind what you would like to see in your life. Hang it on your wall somewhere where you will see it every day.

Affirmations

I say affirmations as if I am chanting a mantra of whatever affirmation I am working on. I will actually say mine any time of the day, at any time I think of it. What you want to do is to reprogram your mind with positive thoughts.

Watch inspiring movies, read uplifting books

Movies that uplift and inspire along these lines are great tools and can be quite powerful. The Attractor Factor inspired me greatly. The movies The Secret and The Seven Laws of Success were even more inspiring...

whatever works for you...

Be around positive people

If you trying to think more positive thoughts it does not do you good at all to have a negative nelly around you discouraging you.

Stay uplifted

Creative Visualization

This can be quite fun. Picture in your mind, yourself living out the desires you are wanting, see it as already happening.

The mind does not differentiate between fact and fiction, so if you are telling the mind this is so by visualizing it, it will take you more swiftly towards that goal.

Knowing

It is important to believe in the intentions coming true. Jesus taught his disciples to pray as if it were already so.

The Kaballah also teaches one to KNOW IT IS SO

If you find yourself having negative thoughts, just cancel the thought by saying those words "cancel that thought" or just replacing it with the positive will also work.
