 What is the meaning of affirmation?

“Affirmation” is a statement that something is true. When applied to the spiritual life, an affirmation is a statement of truth which one aspires to absorb into his life. Positive affirmations are statements about things you want to achieve, enjoy, or experience. By repeating them often, you create or attract into your life the conditions and situations you want as the Law of Attraction.

Why is it important to practice them

It simply affirms your positive beliefs about yourself and about life. Every thought you think and every word you say is an affirmation. Your thoughts and words are declarations of who you think you are and how you perceive the world to be.

Strong, positive affirmations are powerful means of self-transformation and they are a key element in the creation of the life you desire.

They work by purposely replacing the limiting ideas, negative beliefs, and self-talk that you have taken on and internalized over the years with positive statements that assert who you want to be and how you want to experience life.

“Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your belief becomes habitual thinking patterns that you learned as a child. Many of them work very well for you. Other beliefs may be limiting your ability to create the very things you say you want.

What you want and what you believe you deserve may be very different. You need to pay attention to your thoughts so that you can begin to eliminate the ones creating experiences you do not want to have in your life.

Affirmations are also very useful for building new habits, making positive changes in one’s life, and for achieving goals.

When to practice affirmations

The best time to repeat an affirmation is when the subconscious mind is most receptive and calm: after waking, immediately before going to sleep, and at the beginning and end of meditation. Another good time is in the face of difficulty. The best time is in the morning so it gives you more positive energy and a powerful motivation to go on in your day.

Best affirmations are positive. If you make the statement, “I am not sad” the word sad will still register an impact in the subconscious mind. you will tend to increase rather than lessen tension. It is better to affirm a positive quality which is the opposite of sad, for example happy.

An affirmation should be repeated with ever-deeper attention: first loudly, then in a normal speaking voice, then in a whisper, and then silently, carrying its meaning down into the subconscious.

Repeat these to yourself daily and you will see a positive change in your mindset, your actions, and your life

“All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation, only good will come. I am safe. ” It will work miracles in your life.”
― Louise Hay

What to avoid…

On the other side, and in a different situation, you might find yourself repeating negative words, such as:

• “I cannot afford this”
• “It’s too big for me”
• “It is not going to work out”
• “It’s impossible”
