AFFIRMATIONS They are statements made by you to
yourself that are declarations of what you wish to do
Carefully compose your affirmation as they must be positive and focused on a vision of what you want and not on what you wish to get rid of
Affirmations should be very pointed and spoken with sincerityFocus can be dissipated or fragmented if
not pointedToo many prevents the necessary attention
Affirmations should be in harmony with your higher good

AFFIRMATIONS AFFECT YOUR MIND
Do not ask or request you goal but rather declare it to be already true
The concept is that your subconscious mind hears your affirmation and then it programs your behavior to reflect and give life to your affirmation
Your subconscious mind communicates via subtle actions such as body language and how you speak your words For example, if you act in a secure and steady
manner, you are more likely to make a good impression
If you say you are the right person but you body language says otherwise, then the interviewer sees you as lacking belief in yourself
Affirmations are also visualizations, contemplations, and open imaginations

AFFIRMATION AS POSITIVE THINKING
Affirmations can open you to possibility thinking
Recognize the power of your thoughts and words with the responsibility that comes with power
Affirmations often activate in your and others Love Selfless service Creative expression Truth Generosity Faith Surrender Harmony with oneness

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE AROUND YOU, THAT MEANS YOUR AFFIRMATIONS ARE: Asking for the wrong things or
conditions Asking for too many conflicting
things Asking in the wrong way Asking without enough sincerity
and conviction

AFFIRMATION PITFALLS Your affirmation is at the micro
level and shows no awareness of the larger context of what your are asking
You ask from a limited perspective or even ask for the wrong thing(s) For example, you may ask for a career change
without understanding that such change also mean a change in relationships or living conditions

AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ONLY IN HEAVEN AND DOES NOT FILL THE EARTH – LET YOUR WORDS BE FEW ONLY WHEN YOU COME TO KNOW THAT YOU TOO CONTAIN HIS PRESENCE – ONLY THEN CAN YOU BEGIN TO PRAY.
Hasidic prayer

FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH, PRAYING Prayers are like affirmations
Both are based on accepting and using powerful thoughts and words to transform and uplift
Main difference – Affirmations take place mostly in your mind Prayers involve the presence of God that is in
your “heart” Prayer are declarations to God and yourself
that assumes your open communication to your understanding of God
Prayers should recognize that God knows best and you accept this reality
Keep your request centered in your faith and your surrender to God – be real, sincere, and emphatic

FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH:DEVOTIONAL SINGING It expresses your love and respect for
God People from many religious traditions
sing their scriptures to open their hearts and minds to God
Singing unites people with declared intention and harmony; singing sparks the soul
You may think you are singing to God but you can feel God singing to you
The group dynamics of singing helps you sense the awe of Oneness including its energy
