Create Effective Affirmations - Part 3

By: Dr. Laura De Giorgio Whatever first comes your way as a response to your affirmation doesn't mean that it's the only way - it just means that it's most appropriate based on your current beliefs. By sticking with the idea you really had in mind, sooner or later you'll get your desired outcome.

You may also get the actual thing you're after or you may end up with a lot of opportunities requiring some kind of action on your part and leading to the acquisition of the desired thing. It is important to recognize when what you asked for is manifesting in some way in your life, even if it's not exactly what you asked for. This will still boost your confidence and condition your subconscious mind for success because you'll know that something is working even if you need to adjust your request in some way.

While I did say that you should be "specific" there are some things that you should avoid regardless of how initially attractive such ideas may seem to be. Things to avoid are asking for a job that a specific person has, a possession belonging to a specific person, or that a specific person (e.g. Joe or Mary) goes out with you on a date, or worse, drops dead. Can you get those things with affirmations? Yes, you can - but ultimately you may not like the consequences. These things would be "ill-gotten" and sooner or later, something would be taken away from you "in exchange", something that you consider valuable.

You can, on the other hand, affirm for yourself that you are irresistibly attractive and that you ideal partner is now coming into your life. You can also list down the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual qualities of such a person as well as any other general interests. You can specify what kind of relationship you'd like to attract and enjoy. You can specify that you'd like to work in a specific occupation, make certain amount of money, etc. And you can affirm peace, love, happiness and abundance for other people. In short, if you wouldn't want other people affirming something for you, don't affirm such things for others.

When you affirm for something, it is pretty much like throwing a pebble (your statement) into an ocean (of infinite supply). It will create waves in all directions, gather all different expressions of the energy (thoughts and feelings) you just sent out, it will multiply and come back to you. So, unless you'd really like to experience what you asked for multiplied and returned to you, don't affirm it.

If you desire something, but don't have a clue how to create such experience in your life, or it appears that all doors are closed to you, you can affirm:

"The way now opens for me to ... (state your desire)"

The way to uncover any conflicting beliefs you may have regarding what you desire to create in your life is to write your affirmation once, then take a deep breath, and write down whatever first comes to your mind as a response to such statement. Then write your affirmation again, take another deep breath and write down whatever comes to your mind as a response. For example:

(affirmation) "I, (your name), completely forgive myself"

(response) "I smashed my dad's car. I was so irresponsible."

(affirmation) "I, (your name), completely forgive myself"

(response) "I never once called my mother in two years. What kind of a person am I?".

(affirmation) "I, (your name), completely forgive myself"

(response) "I yelled at my son. Oh boy, I'm so stressed out" ... etc.

Incidentally, if you choose to work with forgiveness affirmations, it is recommended that you write them 70 times a day for seven days. You are bound to experience some major transformation and emotional clearing in just one week. You may be very surprised with the results.

And talking of "clearing", if you find yourself standing in front of apparently insurmountable obstacles, you may write the following affirmations:

"The path to my being slim, trim and fit is now clear."

"All extra pounds now melt from my body into nothingness".

"I now give all of my problems to the Spirit (Christ, Inner Wisdom, God) within me."

"All obstacles to my ideal weight now dissolve in the Light."

"I totally surrender to my Inner Wisdom".

"Beloved God, Thy Will be done in me and through me now and forever."

STAGE 3

The third stage of the affirmation process consists of closing the process. In hypnosis, this is usually done through suggestions for emerging from the state of hypnosis to normal waking consciousness.

While writing affirmations, you can write down "gratitude" affirmations acknowledging the acceptance of the blessings (change) you have just asked for.

Some examples of these affirmations are:

"I am deeply grateful for my life".

"I am deeply grateful that I now enjoy perfect health and my ideal weight."

"I am deeply grateful for the ability to serve others."

And, of course, you may close the whole process with "It is so!", or "So be it!", or "Amen!" knowing that what you asked for will most definitely manifest in your life according to your beliefs and expectations.
