Here’s another idea for a new type of affirmation that I came up with a couple of days ago and completely fell in love with the concept.

What you are wanting to do here is to remember that you are one with Divine Source Energy. Because you are one with all that is, and as an aspect of Source, you have the abilities of Divine Source Energy as well. With that in mind, here are some examples of how to use this knowing in an affirmation:

Because Divine Source Energy only knows love,
I only know love.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows happiness,
I only know happiness.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows peace,
I only know peace.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows complete health,
I only know complete health.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows joy and freedom,
I only know joy and freedom.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows prosperity and abundance on all levels,
I only know prosperity and abundance on all levels.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows vibrational alignment with its desires,
I only know vibrational alignment with my desires.

Now add your own and really play with this. I have dozens and dozens so far, and more on the way as I think of new ones to say every day. The more you say these types of affirmations, either out loud or to yourself, the more you will begin to really feel them working. The ones I have listed are examples, and I listed them as they came to me. If they work for you, great! If not, then change the wording and the structure to suit what feels best to you.

Combine these with the Morning Affirmations I posted the other day, and the Personalized Affirmation sets and you are giving yourself a real boost of energy and positive thought. As always, make sure you’re grounded first, so that the affirmations can have a fuller effect. =)

Bright Blessings!

I’d like to give you an easy and straightforward process that you can do every morning. What this does is begin to set the energy of the day, and set your personal energy, to a higher vibration. Many people don’t realize how they are affecting themselves and their day by simply hitting the alarm, rolling out of the nice warm bed, and going to the bathroom, or making coffee, or whatever, before they are even in their bodies and fully awake.

This leads to the morning getting off to a rather chaotic start, where you do something hilarious like brushing your teeth with some ointment instead of the tooth paste, yet millions do this very thing every single day. I want to show you how to simply and easily change that habit into one that will serve you better and have you feeling better throughout the day. If you’ve been a regular reader of my site here, then you know that the first thing I recommend for anyone, at any time, is to get grounded. Using the grounding techniques when you first wake up get you back into your body fully and completely, and get you back into the center of your head, where you need to be to function properly. Now let’s talk about affirmations.

Your Words Have Power

The whole idea behind using any affirmation is three-fold. The first step is to begin to get the positive statements into your head, both on a conscious and subconscious level. This starts getting you used to saying positive messages about yourself which breaks up the habit of saying negative messages about yourself. This, in turn, will help you to be aware of when you do have negative internal thoughts. Then, you’ll be able to catch those negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones.

The second step is to allow the affirmations to activate the feelings each one invokes in you. When I say “your words have power”, that’s not an idle esoteric bemusing. It’s the truth. Why do your words have power? Because we assign ‘emotion’ to each and every one of them. Now, the emotion may not be very big, say for a “common” word such as “and”, but there is still some emotional content there. Of course, for the words that have deep meaning, significance and relevance to our lives, the emotional content is huge! This is one of the reasons why one affirmation doesn’t work for everyone. We all have different levels of emotion and energy infused with each word or statement. What may have tremendous impact on you, may have little to no impact on me.

The third step is to allow the positive emotion that comes up from the affirmation to change your energy and vibration. You see, the idea is not to just say the affirmations “by rote” like you did in school, but to actually feel the emotional and energetic shift that takes place when you say them. When you are fully conscious and aware of that energy shift, you feel the good emotions even more. By having your attention and focus on allowing those better feeling thoughts and emotions, you become more in control of you. You are now deliberately creating how you feel.

I Choose How I Feel

Once you accept that fact, that you choose how you feel, you will begin to see how you’ve allowed your emotions to have their way with you, as it were, since forever. Very few of us are taught these things when we’re young and can use them to gift ourselves an amazing emotional life. I wasn’t taught this until I hit 30, so there was a lot of releasing of old patterns that had to take place, but the more I did these types of processes, the faster I was able to let go and be in charge of myself and allow myself to feel good. That is the whole point here, to feel better.

By deliberately and consciously choosing to feel better, no matter what may appear to be going on around you, you are actively deciding how your life is in the moment, and will be in the following moments. Abraham calls this being in the “Vortex”. This simply means that you are in alignment with your self, fully and completely and it feels really good when you do. Using the Morning Affirmation process is a great step in getting you there on a regular basis.

The Process

So, the clock has just gone off. Instead of bolting out of bed, keep your eyes closed and ground yourself. Be in the center of your head. Breathe easily. Now, begin to say, either out loud or to yourself, any or all of the following affirmations:

• I give thanks and gratitude for the love that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the joy that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the peace that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the appreciation that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the healing that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the positivity that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the prosperity that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the wealth that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the generosity that flows to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the blessings that flow to me, through me and from me.
• I give thanks and gratitude for the love that flows to me, through me and from me.

My current favorite affirmation that I say throughout the day, but most definitely first thing in the morning before I get up, really helps set the energy for the rest of the day:

In just 5 minutes, you’ve completely changed your emotions, your energy and your mental outlook. Now you are in control of who you are and what you are becoming. In keeping with that idea, I highly suggest that you use an alarm clock that has a music option, instead of the typical buzzers and ringers. With music waking you up, you are much more relaxed and not in that immediate “WAKE UP!” mode the buzzers put you in. Your body will thank you for not having to deal with the adrenaline rush every morning.

One other thing to note here, you don’t have to use these exact affirmations. Change the words, or the entire structure, to suit you. As long as the affirmations you do use have meaning for you and feel powerful to you is all that matters. Just do this every morning, and repeat them throughout the day if that feels good to do, and you’ll notice the change in the first two weeks. You’ll wake up with a smile on your face, and you’ll be ready to go into the day with excitement and enthusiasm.

If you’d like more affirmations to use in creating a better life for yourself, you can own a set of Personalized Affirmations made specifically for you based on whatever you are wanting to work on. =)

Bright Blessings,

Reprinted from my Blessings of The Winter Solstice, 2008 post

I offer up this blessing:

Great and Eternal mystery, Great Spirit; God, Goddess, All that is; The Infinite Radiant Is. I thank you for this light and this life. For this beauty way. I thank you for this season of deep contemplation, reflection and retrospection. It is this time of season that offers us the opportunity to grow inwardly as we await the coming of the outward growth of Spring.

In this time of the short day and the long night, I give thanks for all that I have achieved this past year, and all that I will achieve in the new one. I offer up prayers and blessings of gratitude, and thanksgiving for the lessons I have learned; the relations of all varieties I have helped, and that have helped me to grow.

I thank you for this time of stillness so that I can once again hear my heart beat in time with the true rhythm of the Universe.

As we move forward from this Solstice day, I give thanks for the renewing energy that fills all of our lives with the mounting warmth of the new Sun and the new year.

In Gratitude; In Thanks; In Peace; In Wonderment; In Joy I say Ring Out Solstice Bells!

Brightest Blessings to all!

Ring Out, Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull

We all know how powerful the Law of Attraction is and we’ve either seen, heard or had our own experiences of it in wonderful, positive ways. What I want to do here is give you an example of how NOT to use the Law of Attraction, and to show you in no uncertain terms, that the Universal Law of Attraction is completely neutral. From what I have read and heard from many people, it seems to me that the predominant thought is that the Law is “good” by nature, and that by using it, only “good” can come from it.

While you can indeed bring positive things, people, events, etc. into your life, you can also bring in disaster just as easily. In fact, even more easily, for we are all trained to be in fear and to believe the “worst” will happen, instead of focusing on the “best” happening.

The incident I’m about to relate happened to me, so I know whereof I speak. I also know all too well just how fast the Universe can respond! Whether it’s positive intention and vibes you are putting out or negative ones, the Universe does not care. It simply responds to the energy of your intention.

My first true experience of this type of intending was done in a very negative fashion. I had gone to the Star Trek convention at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. When I got there, I saw that the parking was $5! This was in 1985, and that was a lot of money to shell out just for parking! So, I got mad (read: afraid) and said screw that, I’ll park on the street. So I went around to the main street behind the hotel, parked my car, got out and popped 2 quarters into the meter. Just as I was about to turn the corner to go into the hotel parking lot and to the convention entrance, I said to myself (in full arrogant voice) “I dare anyone to break into my car! Grrr!@$%!!”

I then went and enjoyed myself at the convention. When I went back to my car two hours later to put in a couple more quarters, you guessed it, the car had been broken into, and everything stolen. I was stunned. I thought I had put up a protection around it, but no. That was an illusion. I had put my fear around it and instead of protecting it, I manifested getting robbed.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson right then and there! This is also when I realized the Universe is not picky about what it sends. It doesn’t choose, it merely reflects our energy back to us. The more intense the energy, the faster it reflects it back.

In the movie “The Secret”, Joe Vitale called the Law of Attraction a catalog that you placed your order with. Years ago, my friend Stuart Wilde said think of it as a great storehouse with everything in it, and it’s just waiting for your order. When he said “everything” he meant EVERYTHING! Everything and anything you can think of is availble to us. Any object, experience, person, all of it. Your choice. You decide, and it’s delivered.

Obviously, on that day, I had chosen to have the Universe show me what attracting fear and arrogance will get me. I lost my guitar and amplifier, a 24″ master recording tape my friends and I had just finished recording, (those were in the trunk) the car stereo, and everything out of the glove box. It was devastating at the time, and it took a couple days of introspection to sort it all out. Once I did, it felt even worse, because I knew that I had brought it about.

So you see, the Law of Attraction is completely neutral. “It” doesn’t care. “It” is simply our energy reflected back to us. If you put out positive energy, that is strongly intended, you’ll receive positive energy and very quickly. If you put out positive energy, but your intention is weak or wishy-washy, then you’ll get a weak result. You would not believe how fierce I was that day, internally shouting at the world. That is another lesson I learned. If you are powerful in your intent, it’ll show up quicker. You decide what you want and how quickly you want it.

Another thing to remember is that you have to be specific! The Law is neutral, and it doesn’t read minds. You have to tell it exactly what you want. Stuart used to say, “If you just say you want new shoes, you’ll end up with size 18 pink and yellow clown shoes with fuschia polkadots!” Remember, specific is terrific. Don’t be vague about what you want. Write it down, read it over, change it as needed, edit it so that it’s WHAT YOU WANT! Now, you can project that image with strong intent out into the energy of the universe, and it will respond.

The Universe and the Law of Attraction are neither “good” or “bad”. They simply are. In being neutral, they allow us to evolve as we decide. So, when things are not showing up as you want them to, look at the level of your intention. Look at the level of how specific you were in what you want. Do not berate yourself for it not happening as you first envisioned, but instead, forgive yourself and adjust your energy and vision accordingly. The more you do this, and do it from the same neutrality that the Universe shows us, the better you’ll get at it.

Deep Peace to you all,

“Tolemac”

This is a very powerful affirmation, that will get your vibration/energy, your consciousness and your sub-conscious mind into the idea of creating wealth. I have it on my altar in the wealth corner of my room, and read it three times each day. It really does set up a wonderful vibration of affirmation and expectancy. May it serve you well!

This declaration of financial independence is a powerful statement of the truth about you. When it is read aloud with deep feeling, three times a day, at morning, noon, and night, it sinks into the subconscious where it works a silent miralce. It will transform negative attitudes into positive affirmations of faith, and mightily stirring up the spiritual forces which lie within every human mind, dormant until they are called into action. Give this unique declaration a serious trial for the next 30 days and watch the miracles coming into your life! Again, read this aloud for best effect.

Blessed Be!

Quick edit: Talk about syncronicity! After I posted this this morning, I received an email from Dr. Joe Vitale (Mr. Fire) with this exact declaration! It seems he recently posted it on his website as well! Gotta love how the Universe works! It just affirms to me that this is one of those things that needs to be out there and practiced by as many people as possible, so please share this with everyone you know. The more people affirming this in their lives, the better we will all be! Brightest Blessings to you all!
