Your happiness depends on your thoughts. Negative thoughts can make your insecure, depressed and emotionally unavailable as a partner, parent or friend.
Subliminal therapy is not new. It's practically all around us-in the TV, in the billboards, at the height of an intense basketball game. Its signs are very varied, from the continuous onslaught of a particular brand, to the nice words you repeat to yourself, or the idealized image of a winning form you play in your mind during a game. Some people get by with calling it just plain positive thinking. But those who know that most of the time, the human mind misses 80% of its actual potential AND can terribly attain much much more, have a name for what they need-positive affirmation.
Affirmations are positive statements that describe a desired situation, and which are repeated many times, in order to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the affirmations, they have to be repeated with attention, conviction, interest and desire.
The most usual method recommended for affirmations is first to still the mind and the body, (most of the techniques recommended for this come directly or indirectly from eastern meditation practices) and then to repeat the chosen affirmation or affirmations. They work best worded in the first person, in the present tense and in a positive structure. ('I like weeds' not 'I won't mind the weeds'). Affirmations should be believable. Affirm that you are capable of doubling your income, rather than affirming that you are capable of making it multiply ten times. And affirmations should be said in an emotional frame of positive expectancy and excitement.
The key elements are positive expectation, belief and daily repetition.
Here we can see that the process of affirmation draws on elements of meditation and mantra, and combines them with the daily repetition of prayer and other practices, and that both affirmation and prayer lay strong emphasis on belief. The Lord's Prayer could be seen as a spiritual affirmation.
More than often, people repeat in their minds negative words and statements concerning the situations and events in their lives, and consequently bring upon themselves undesirable situations. Words and statements work both ways, to build or destroy. It is the way we use them that determines whether they are going to bring good or harmful results.
Quote:
“Every thought has a counterpart in a word or sound; the word and the thought are inseparable. The external part of a thing is what we may call the thought. The same thought may be expressed by different words or sounds. Though the sounds vary, yet the relation between the sound and the thoughts is a natural one”. (Swami Nikhilananda Sri Ramakrishna Math:)
To affirm means to make firm. There is very little mystery about how and why affirmations work, once the principle is understood. An affirmation is simply a spoken declaration, in the present tense, which creates a desired reality.
Affirm what you know to be true in your heart, and you will create that reality. Affirm that you are free, and strong, and attractive, and prosperous, and loving – and you will find, often in a remarkably short time, that your outer world will begin to change as a reflection of your changing inner consciousness.
