YOUR MESSAGES FOR SUCCESS
A
thought or idea is similar to a blueprint in that it creates an image of the
completed
form which has a specific vibration.
These vibrations guide the

Affirmations: Your Messages for Success
By Theda Renee Floyd, PhD, RN, HHP
As we
expand our consciousness, our belief systems also undergo growth and
expansion. In fact, we discover that
anything is possible as impossibility negates the infinite potential of
spirit. Positive affirmations are
positive intention statements that are repeated many times to create an
impression on the subconscious mind and initiate a creative process. Positive affirmations are a method of
creative visualization since the positive affirmations create mental
images. Creative visualization involves
using your imagination to create what you desire in life.
We
often repeat affirmations without even being aware of it. Unfortunately, we often use affirmations to
tell ourselves that we can’t do something, that we are too tired, too dumb, and
so on. So, please don’t do that, as your
words help to focus your intent and create your reality. When we create something we first
conceptualize it in thought. A thought
or idea is similar to a blueprint in that it creates an image of the completed
form which has a specific vibration.
These vibrations guide the appropriate energies to flow into that form
and bring our thoughts to life.
It is
through the will that we bring the future into reality. Keep in mind that our will is a human
evolutionary acquisition, still very much in development. Through our will, we can truly and freely
choose, bearing the full responsibility of self-determination and bring our
desired results to fruition in the present.
In order to do so, it is important to develop positive affirmations in
the present tense. Saying, “I will
succeed,” means that you intend to succeed someday in the future. Say, “I am a success!” This will get the energies moving now to make
your intention your reality. Also, do
not word your affirmations in negative terms such as, “I am not a failure,” as
this does not indicate clearly what you are.
Again, you would simply state, “I am a success!” Here are a few other examples of positive
affirmations:
v
I am in charge of my
thoughts!
v
I am in charge of my
behavior!
v
I am powerful and
strong!
v
I am honorable!
v
I am of great value!
v
I am my own person!
v
I am beautiful!
I
encourage you to develop your own positive affirmations that reflect both your
short and long term goals. When you
develop affirmations use words that remind you of the end result you have in
mind. Experience the joy of achievement
as you express your affirmations and send the joyous emotion with your message
for success. Add the positive energy of
your Higher Self to your affirmations.
Write your positive affirmations down or say them out loud many times
throughout the day.

Living Your Truth
OPENING THOUGHTS
Learning to be a good and competent healer through self-healing is the initial step in becoming a transformational healer. If you aspire to be a truly transformational healer, you must first focus on your relationship with your essential self. The smaller self or “I” is often referred to as the ego. The Larger Self may also be called the Transpersonal Self or Higher Self. The integrated self and Self comprise the true or essential self, and the will is the most direct expression of it. It is through the will that we bring the future into reality. It is no coincidence that the word will is used in the future tense of all English verbs: I will go, I will talk to them, I will finish my book. Will is a human evolutionary acquisition, still very much in development (Ferrucci 85). . . . MORE!
