Tapping the Power of Affirmations

Tapping the power of affirmations can bring you closer to achieving your goals through the Law of Attraction. Mind before body or physical reality is one way to think about this.

Using positive affirmations or autosuggestions is a major way to condition the subconscious mind to believe in your unlimited potential. It is a great psychological maneuver, which not just reprograms the mind in a positive way, but also counteracts the negative chatter that often floats to the top of our thoughts.

When you’re practicing affirmations, you’re consciously using some words that will either help change a bad habit or bad situation from your life or help create something new (and better) in your life. As you repeat the words of an affirmation in your mind or with your voice, you are hold the future image or vision of your transformation. You make formal declarations to the universe of your intentions for your positive goals to be the truth. Positive affirmations have supported many people around the world to make meaningful changes in their lives.

How Do They Work?

By using affirmations, we can command the subconscious mind to overcome the physical and mental hindrances previously thought insurmountable. Practicing positive affirmations involves repeating some statements over and over. When we repeat these statements, our brain creates new neural pathways and strengthens them. These powerful words create dynamic tensions in our beings. Our mind eventually believes in those statements and manifests the changes we desire in our lives.

The Methods of Using Affirmations

There are several methods for using affirmations which may include writing them-down method, saying them-aloud method, saying-them-in-your-head method, saying-them-into-a-recorder -then listening-to-them method, and having-someone-repeating-the-affirmations method.

Writing affirmations is a widely used method. Many people prefer this method because it can be done quietly with little or no discomfort. It is important that you feel peaceful as you write the affirmations. Writing 3 to 10 affirmations should be enough per sitting. You may also type the affirmations on your computer.

Saying the affirmations out loud is the tried and true method, which is the most popular affirmation practice technique. Speaking the affirmations out loud works better if you practice it in front of a mirror and look at yourself in the eye while repeating the statements. It is important to say the words of affirmations with convictions.

Speak slowly, so that the mind can totally comprehend the message. Speak in a calmer voice. Don’t rush and don’t practice with distaste. Speak to yourself like you are speaking to a good friend. Be loving, kind and nurturing. Through your positive intention into the words.

If you feel uncomfortable repeating the statements out loud, you can say them in your head. The main advantage of this silent technique is that you can use it whenever you want and wherever you are.

Recording the statements is another method. Record the affirmations, and listen to your recorded voice repeating the statements while falling asleep to maximize and accelerate your results.

You can also get a friend or coach to repeat your affirmations to you. They will be saying, for example, “ You (not “I am”) are sound in mind, body, and spirit”.

In addition, you can actually use a software program to tailor your subliminal affirmations as you wish. Check it out here.

Repeating The Positive Statements

Repeating the affirmations can be relaxing and soothing as you lift the baggage of limiting beliefs and release them back to the nothingness from where they came.

As you repeat the positive statements, I would like you to imagine that you’re getting rid of your limiting beliefs by dropping them into a river, and they gradually drift downstream and disappear for good.
