The Science of Affirmative Thought

Your success and happiness lies in you.
Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you,
shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

I love myself. I love who I am.
I am beautiful, inner peace & joy.
It feels good to be me & I truly appreciate myself.
I am at peace within myself.
No matter how I am feeling.. I take good loving care of myself.
I am ready to participate in my own healing.

Current research shows the impact of positive & negative thinking on ourselves & on others. We each have the power & potential to transform ourselves by changing our habits of mind.

It used to be thought that we are who we are. That the way we think; our perceptions; & our abilities were immutable & constant. Then came exciting research that demonstrates how incorrect we were. Human beings have the inherent ability to actually change our brain & our body by changing our thoughts. We can adjust our experience of happiness, joy, & satisfaction in our day to day lives by consistently changing what we think about. We can promote healing of the body by consciously changing our habitual thoughts. We can have incredible impact on our present day life & desired future by using the untapped co-creative power of our thoughts.

There are many ways to tap into the co-creative power of our thoughts. My intention with this weekly newsletter, is to share with you many different ways to do this, along with other exciting Quantum Healing Tools & Techniques. There is no exact right way to use Affirmative Thought that works best for everyone. The techniques of Affirmative Thought range from simple & basic, all the way to practices that are so empowering & transformative, that you can feel yourself tapping into the actual healing power of universe.

It is thought that we humans have from 15,000 to 75,000 thoughts per day. Most of these thoughts are below the conscious level, which means that we aren’t even aware that we are thinking these thoughts. On average 95% of these thoughts are the same thoughts that we had the day before. Most, importantly around 80% – 85% of these thoughts are negative.

“Psychoneuroimmunology” explores the Mind/Body Connection. In the human body, your thoughts function as energetic chemicals. The thoughts that you are thinking every day are flooding your body with
these energetic chemicals. These “Thought Chemicals” are either promoting health, motivation, a positive attitude, feelings of worthiness, inner peace, & happiness “or” are promoting fatigue, negativity, boredom, unhappiness, lack of health, sadness, or lack of self esteem.

How shall we begin this journey of Healing? Lets start at the beginning. Renowned author, Louise Hay, feels that the most toxic categories of negative thinking stem from fear & anger. I feel that fear & anger are directly related & come from the same foundational source. I think that most of us are aware that we have challenges with fear & anger, so lets start there.

Listed below are a few ways to use affirmations:
You can say them out loud
You can write them down (long hand, print, or type)
You can read them
You can say them in your head
You can write them on your mirror
You can put them on a post it note
You can send yourself text messages with your affirmation.
You can use a computer program to read them to yourself

I suggest experimenting with a few ways to work with your affirmation. That way you can discover what works best for you.

It is a good idea to use your affirmation 2x a day. I suggest using affirmations in the morning before beginning your day & in the evening, prior to going to sleep.

I suggest saying each affirmation that you are working with at least 7x. The more you use your affirmation, the more healing effect you will experience in your life. You cannot use your Affirmation too often.

You can use your the entire Affirmation
or
just the parts that call to you.
I love myself. I love who I am.
I am beautiful, inner peace & joy.
It feels good to be me & I truly appreciate myself.
I am at peace within myself.
No matter how I am feeling.. I take good loving care of myself.
I am ready to participate in my own healing.

Enjoy the Journey.

We will continue next week.
