The ACOM Online Coaching Community A place where Spirit touches the heart of all who enter

For my blog or any writing i do, i often take inspiration from the experiences I have. This blog is one of these as i share with you the same insight and understanding I share with a friend at church on Sunday night.

During our conversation the topic of Law attraction arose and how affirmations are not everyone's cup of tea. This was true for me too, up until a couple of years. The repetition required was and still isn't my strong suit and i found no connection to a series of words that seemed like just mindful chatter. I was missing something here. And so it seems so are a lot of people.

Firstly, why would we even bother with using them. They do take a lot of discipline and work. Or do they?
The benefits of affirmations are enormous when you fully understand the gift that they are.

We all possess the Power of Creation, which works with the law of attraction, known more simply as like attracts like. This law does not differentiate between positive and negative, it just creates based on our likeness and the power to manifest what we need. So this begs the question, what predominately is your experience? Positive or Negative? Are you pleased with your road right now? Do you have goals you want to achieve? Or are there repeating patterns you'd love to leave behind?

Using affirmations will help you to:
1. Raise your self awareness as you become more aware of your thoughts.
2. Highlights the areas of negativity, easily identifying areas of self for you to work on with self healing.
3. buttist in maintaining a positive mentality as you focus on the postive much more readily.
4. This then generates more positive energy for longer periods of time, which improves your creative powers resulting in the manifestation of more positive experiences.

All huge benefits for any Spiritual seeker, and yet from such a simplistic tool.
So how can we apply them easily and effectively.

As I mentioned my initial weakness was in the repetition required. Having to think about saying an affirmation throughout the day was not something that was easy for me to. So i tended not to bother. That is until i read 21 Distinctions of Wealth by Peggy McColl. In this book, Peggy suggests writing out your affirmation and sticking it somewhere you see frequently. For example, your bathroom mirror. Easy to work with an affirmation when your brushing your teeth, visiting the "little girls room" and so forth. Or stick it by your computer screen, on your fridge. I opted for the bathroom mirror and found this to be so much easier. I'm sure you heard these suggestions before, but have you tried them. I can assure it easily becomes part of your routine.

Finally and most importantly, an affirmation is only as beneficial as the power we give it. It's not enough to just say the words. A feeling must be part of the whole experience. This was also part of why affirmations didn't work for me. I hadn't made the connection. Its vitally important to generate positive vibes which connect you to your affirmation. To do this, it helps to think about and identify how you will feel when your affirmation has manifested for you.

For example, let's say you are working with an affirmation like this one.
"I am so grateful that my psychic and mediumship abilities are now a recognisable part of who I am. And that my life is blessed by being able to use them to assist others. Thank you God."

Take a moment to sit down, visualise and write how you will feel when this happens. Visualise and describe how your life will be when you have achieved this. Generate how you feel. Then each time you say your affirmation, generate this feeling. Make it known and before long you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of using affirmations.
