Affirmation is a powerful tool that you can use to change your life and improve your health. The mind is a powerful key to self healing. An affirmation is a statement that you are repeating over and over again until it becomes a part of your truth and part of your normal way of thinking.
The positive affirmation becomes more powerful when it is stated with a feeling behind it. Positive affirmations are super charged when the feeling behind the affirmations are based in love and compassion towards oneself. The best way of repeating your positive affirmation is to first bring yourself into a relaxed state of mind before you start.
A simple technique is to sit down in a chair with a straight spine, relax your breathing, and close your eyes. Set your intention to bring healing energy into your entire body. Then, start to focus on your own breath by breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. When you breathe in, follow the breath all the way down into your stomach, feeling that your stomach and lungs expand. Then, breathe out through your mouth. To go deeper into relaxation, open your mouth and make a soft sound of “aaahhh” while you breathe out. Exhale out all the breath pulling the stomach slowly in until all the air is out. Do this while you are counting up to ten and then back to one again, counting one number on each out breath. Then, you are ready to start with your positive affirmation. Take the sentence you chose and repeat it ten times—one time on each out breath while holding a feeling of self-love and compassion.
After you have repeated your favorite affirmation, go on to your next one, and do the same for every affirmation that feels right to you. Pick only a few sentences to work with until you feel they have become a part of you, and then you can pick new affirmations to work with. After you have done your positive affirmation session, it is important to show your gratitude to the Universe/God/Great Spirit and to yourself by saying: “Thank you for my breath. Thank you for this moment. Thank you for all the good in my life.” An affirmation of gratitude is the most powerful positive affirmation of all. It is said that what we focus on will grow. Affirmations are like planting seeds which in time, with nurturing, will grow.
Affirm: I am loving myself. I am healing myself. I am open to new ideas.
