By Sonja, KRMT Date: 7/25 Topic: Affirmations
Affirmations! Yep, we hear about affirmations every where we look. On line, social media… books, friends… affirmations, affirmations!
We practice saying or writing everything we want to change.. I will do…, I will let go, I….. I’m open to…and so on. We say some pretty interesting stuff as we affirm our daily lives. Sometimes they work, but some times we feel like we hit a brick wall. Since no one sent in a question this week, I figured I would ask one myself! (smile) What is an affirmation and how does it work? I will try to succinct, but if you know me, you understand how hard that is… my life is like one long, never ending run-on sentence! One adventure after another, every day!
We will start at the beginning. Very simple, science. Yep, this is science and can be proven. It’s not just pie in the sky from the new age group. (mmmm Is this still considered the new age?)
Premise 1, Energy is! Every thing is energy and vibrates, plants, animals, rocks, paint on your house, us. Clouds… everything is energy. Every thing has a rate of vibration, or frequency… the speed at which it moves. . ( If a tree falls…yep, it makes noise, even if no one is there!) Even a rock from our drive way vibrates, although so slowly we need an electric scope of some kind to see it. The energy is moving. We can not see it most of the time. But it can be measured by the electronic equipment we have today. As an example, a quarts crystal, from deep in the earth, seems like a pretty rock. But this “rock” creates piezoelectric energy that can be measured and sensitive people can actually feel it. ( There is a reason why quarts crystals are so popular. They are one of the easiest crystals to “feel”.That is what is surrounding us in our lives every day. In past times many buildings and important structures were built from granite. Granite carries high proportions of quarts. The ancients knew this. Many Holy places were build with these “magical rocks, because they were found to be able to transmit energy. Premise 2, Personal Energy. Within our own bodies we have powerful energy. Many who recognize this have become healers, both traditional and non-traditional. The people who have learned how to see and feel this are able to see and or feel colors around living and non living things as well. We can all do this, based on what we are taught to believe. If we come from a culture that is close to the earth and has learned to understand it’s “voice or vibration” you act and experience life differently than a culture that believes this idea is nuts or evil.
An affirmation is about believing we can make a change in that force that is with-in us, as well as outside of us. Every time we notice we feel good, we can anchor that feeling by acknowledging it. “I feel really good to day .Thank you! I want more!” “Boy that coffee is so good today. Thank you. I want more good coffee! ” “I found a quarter! Cool, one more coin to go into my jar to buy that new…. I want to find more!”. All positive affirmations. An affirmation that you create resonates with you. An affirmation copied from someone else’s journey is like saying a prayer by rote. We mindlessly repeat what we are taught to say. “Now I lay me down to sleep….” The key is to FEEL the change we want. It’s our emotion that carries our energy to all the cells in our mind and body. All of our cells cooperate when we mean it. Our DNA and all the cells and molecules cooperate with each other as we are directing them to. When we constantly complain about our mate, our kids, our life in general, our bodies re-action follows suite, because it listens to what we want, and hears what we are telling it to believe and what we want in our lives. If we are always thinking about miserable things we will continue to draw them into our lives.
If your personal belief system is that God is giving you this energy then say so. Stay within what you believe. Give thanks and ask for more of the good stuff! If we are made in the image of our Creator, then we are worth the Good stuff! (smile)
We all have crap in our lives at times. Some of us have had horrible things happen to us, or have been treated horribly by others. Often this darkness can stay with us for life. We have been traumatized. We can not let go of the pain. It’s like a catch 22. We remember, we think, we feel it as if it were happening again, we react as if it were true, even though we are just remembering, because our brain only knows how we felt, and will react even when we think of it again, even if it happened 20 years ago. Real affirmations can change our energy path.
Our brain does not know the difference between past and current. If we had a rotten situation with a parent, the person who we modeled after, that would impact us. Whenever we think about a parent or teacher, telling us our singing sounded like a dying cat. We eventually train ourselves not to sing…ever.Years later we won’t even sing happy birthday, but may not remember why. Every time we try, the cells inside say no, we can’t do that we will be yelled at and be hurt. The situation may be long gone from our conscious mind but our cells know and they will protect us. It’s their job. Our brain has no idea if it happened now or in the past. It reacts to protect us Why are some of us afraid of spiders… we may not consciously remember, but we are. I know why I have that fear. I have worked with it and now I can at least stand them on the same planet! Progress….I think…
So pick one you would like to work with, to start. What do you need, more money, a different love life, self confidence…? Think it through write it down. Fear of public speaking? Ask yourself why your life does not seem to be working in you are drawn to. Think about the possibilities, I suggest you start with something you already have a clue about. Lets say singing out loud either with family or in public . When you think about it you don’t feel good. Not something you are comfortable with. Ask yourself why. It will come to you. Take a min. to go back and feel like you did then. Painful, ashamed, unloved, not cared for… etc. You can figure out the cause. How would you feel being alone and putting on music you love and dance and sing around with it. Just grab your broom partner and go for it! How do you feel now? You feel good and energized! So write a line about an affirmation of how you feel NOW! “I love to sign this song. I feel happy when I sing this, I feel like dancing, I feel like being silly. This is my go to spot of light!” You now have an affirmation that will work for you. You feel it and now you whole body and mind can identify the happy, good, silly, joyful, feeling and you can replace your old thinking as you get used to this new energy.. These affirmations are your personal words and beliefs. They will work for you. You have brought them inside to connect with your cells and DNA. These affirmations are your own personal, living, words. From your mind, heart and body. They will be listened to! They are already part of you. You are just bringing them to the surface of your reality. These are not someone else’s cold unconnected words about what a stranger thinks you should do.. Step by step, you can use this format to recreate yourself. In matters of love, remember when..if there has been no when, watch or read something that can help create the feeling of happiness you are searching for. Your affirmations work directly with your DNA and can make changes in your physical, mental and emotional body. You are creating a new template for your life. If you believe you can have a happy, blessed, life you will. We have many blessings that we often miss because we are so focused on awfullizing, ( only focusing on the negative) . We see that around us every day, in all of our media, in friends… It’s good to plant and harvest in our own garden first.
Hope these words help to make a positive pathway for your life as you start on this amazing adventure of uplifting change.
Keep well,
Sonja
