How To Use Affirmations Effectively. Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life.

Do you wish to know the secrets of affirmations? 

The power of affirmations has been mentioned countless times in countless books.  One of the most influential books of this New Age is ‘You Can Heal Your Life‘ by Louise Hay, with over 40 million copies sold to date!


The basic of idea of affirmations is to say something short and positive to your subconscious mind, which then overcomes anything negative you may be experiencing, whether that’s an illness of mind or body, or some negative life experience (divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job, and so on)..

Some basic ideas are:

“I am healthy.”

“I am slim.”

“I am talented.”

“I am rich.”

“I am enjoying a happy relationship with a loving man/woman.”

If the simplicity of this irritates you, read on.  It’s a good thing you are irritated because it means you are applying your faculty of discrimination.

A vital key is missing here.

Many people are divorced from their true centre of knowing and power inside – so when they say the opposite of what they are actually feeling, they feel like they are lying to themselves.

Remember this! You cannot lie to yourself and expect a positive result!

The ‘fake it til you make it’ theory is nonsense – otherwise most people would find that just saying affirmations would work.  Repeating affirmations can actually make a mental state, and situation, worse if it’s done with incorrect understanding.

To really use the ‘technique of affirmation’, you must understand all of the following information – and I don’t just mean intellectually.  You must learn to live it.

Firstly, you must understand your connection to Source, and the power of ‘vibration’ behind your thoughts.

Paramahansa Yogananda, who greatly influenced and shaped Western thought told us, ‘the infinite potencies of sound derive from the Creative Word, Aum, the cosmic vibratory power behind all atomic energies. Any word spoken with clear realisation and deep concentration has a materializing value.”

Further, he explained: “Prayer often implies the consciousness of beggary. We are children of God, not beggars, and are thus entitled to our divine inheritance. When we have established a connection of love between our souls and God, we have a  right to lovingly demand the fulfilment of our legitimate prayers.”

So, when you ‘ask’ for the re-establishment of health in your body, or financial success in your life, you really are giving thanks for it in advance, knowing it must come from the Infinite Source that is within you and also outside of you.

Many clients who I do cleaning of energy for, struggle with their part of doing the work.  They don’t trust enough initially – but they learn to trust quickly as the power of the One Spirit shines through and the miraculous occurs.

To one dear client who wanted a new job, I asked her, ‘do you not think that the one power that created this Earth and all of its rivers, mountains, seas and all living creatures could create (or find) the perfect and right next job for you?’

I also reminded her that this same power also created this Universe, with all of its galaxies, and all Universes that we know of (and don’t know of) – something that is truly impossible for the mortal mind to grasp in its totality.

We must remember that just as a drop of water from the sea has the same properties within it, so too do we have the same properties of Spirit within us.

We have to contact this power in daily meditation, and by using our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual/psychic energy to overcome all perceived difficulties after we make contact with this power.

I think the movie Spiderman said it best, ‘with great power comes great responsibility.’

So, you must connect to Spirit through Love, that is the first requirement.

Then, understanding that power. you must affirm through your thoughts, and words, that all is well – even when the contrary appears in your life.

Words saturated with sincerity, conviction, faith and intention are like vibratory honing missiles that shatter the rocks of difficulty and create the necessary change desired.  If the desired change does not come quickly, then a deep peace will come that will allow you to transcend the difficulty.  Either way, you win.

Spirit can release you from karmic difficulties but you also have to persevere.  Not from a grudging, irritated ‘when will this happen’ point of view, but from the faith and understanding of Cosmic Laws.

The subconscious ideas and habits of disease or health exert a very strong influence upon us, far beyond what materialistic science dares to comprehend.  Stubborn, chronic, mental or physical diseases always have a deep root in the subconscious – and also the superconscious – or Cosmic – mind.  Since the ‘root’ of your Being is actually Non-Physical – because you are a Non-Physical Being – it makes logical and intuitive sense that you have to root out disease at both the subconscious and superconscious level of existence.

All affirmations should be done AFTER meditation upon Spirit – when you FEEL that connection coursing through you. Then the affirmation will be impressive enough to imprint upon your consciousness, and permeate the subconscious mind, which automatically influences the conscious mind.

If strong and persistent enough, the affirmations penetrate the superconscious mind.

‘Patience, and attentive, intelligent repetition are wonder workers. Affirmations for curing chronic mental or bodily afflictions should be repeated often, deep and continuously, utterly ignoring unchanged or contrary conditions, if any, until they become part of one’s intuitional convictions.’ Paramhansa Yogananda

In more modern language, Abraham-Hicks, has repeatedly made the same points through the ‘Law of Attraction’ teachings.

“The Universe doesn’t hear what you’re saying. the Universe hears what you mean.”
