Affirmations Open Up Your Heart!
Today, I drew you the card, “Affirmations,” from Doreen Virtue’s Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Cards. This card reads: “To lift up your thoughts and energy, and to attract what you desire, use positive affirmations.”
Right now, I’m reading two books that talk about the importance and effectiveness of affirmations. One book I’m re-reading is Catherine Ponder’s Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. It’s a classic. I notice many of the modern teachers about spirituality and success were influenced by her ideas. Many of the classic success writings are echoed in this book too.
The most striking thing about Catherine’s book are the affirmations. They really rock! They are powerful–probably the most powerful I’ve used or experienced. I highly recommend her book (She was a minister, but more in line with the New Thought churches ideas.)
Another book I’m reading is Soul Coaching by Denise Linn. This book is a 28-day coaching program. Each day you’re given homework, along with a powerful affirmation. I ordered a copy used from Amazon.com this week and it promptly arrived. It was for a reason, I discovered. The book has some line in the introduction about how if you hand her book in your hand, you were ready to detoxify your soul (My ego was wondering if there can be anything else to detoxify. Ha ha ha! There always is something to release, huh?)
I’ve been doing affirmations for years. It wasn’t until recently that I really put a lot of feeling into them. I sometimes find that I’ll even add a little, “heck heah!” after some of them. This makes me giggle inside, but I take this affirmations business very seriously. (I’m just glad no one is home to hear me do these. Honestly though, I’m not too embarassed by doing them out loud.)
I previously wrote a post here on my blog about rockin’ affirmations. It gives more details about how to do affirmations effectively.
Enjoy your affirmations!
Bear hugs,
Lisa
