Affirmations Energy

Have you ever noticed how your mood depends on your thoughts? Think of a happy memory and you will feel inspired, reflect on beautiful scenery before going to bed and you will sleep well, contemplate a successful deal before starting the negotiations and you will be surprised at how easy the communication will be. This effect serves as the base for the practice of affirmations. Introducing this routine to your life will help your well-being.

Affirmation is a short positive statement that aims to steer your subconscious in the correct direction and through it help your physical, emotional and mental states to reach equilibrium.

Cognitive linguistics proves that our choice of words to describe the world around us influences greatly the way we interpret the world. If you are talking to a friend under a beautiful blooming sakura (famous cherry trees whose beautiful blossoms delight residents and tourists in Japan every spring) and he slips the word “tree” into the conversation, the image of a tree in your mind will most likely be a blooming sakura. Next time you talk about trees you will very likely imagine a beautiful Japanese garden.

From trees to your daily life: if you imagine yourself happy over and over again, how soon do you think you will actually feel happy? The words composing the affirmation automatically bring up related mental images which inspire and motivate you. Spending a few minutes thinking about your best qualities can calm your nerves, increase your confidence, and improve your chances of a successful outcome in any undertaking.

How do you select your words correctly and make sure the message you send to the Universe will be interpreted correctly? The rule is quite simple: the affirmation should be positive, short and focused. The affirmation should be about you and your well-being but you may mention other people, though only on a positive note.

Avoid any negations for they will draw the energy of the affirmation back so instead of, “I don’t have any problems in my life” go with, “I have a full and happy life”. The affirmation should easily fit in two breaths - if it doesn’t, shorten it. Avoid broad statements such as “I am slim” for this slimness may be the result of some kind of sickness. Instead go with, “I eat healthy and this has a positive effect on my body”.

The Moon has great influence on all spheres of our lives and naturally different days are good for different activities and meditations. Depending on the Lunar day you may pay more attention to the affirmations that have to do with your health, while other days will be best to practice affirmations about your emotional state.

Sit down in a comfortable position, your clothes should not interfere with your movements and should preferably be made of natural materials. Be barefoot and wear as few pieces of jewelry as possible. You may turn on relaxing music or listen to the sounds of nature. Inhale and exhale deeply without tension. Close your eyes and slowly repeat the affirmation as many times as you feel is right. Do it slowly, pondering every word. Think of what this affirmation means to you specifically and imagine how your life changes as the affirmation works.
