A guide to using affirmations for profound spiritual transformation.
Affirmations are powerful tools for reprogramming your subconscious mind and creating positive change. Paul Wagner, a clairvoyant with over 30 years of experience and a devotee of Amma, has guided thousands in using affirmations to manifest their dreams. He teaches that the key to effective affirmations is to state them in the present tense and to feel the emotion behind them.
Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to yourself to challenge and overcome negative and self-sabotaging thoughts. They are a way of consciously choosing your thoughts and directing them towards a desired outcome. When you repeat an affirmation, you are planting a seed in your subconscious mind.
To be effective, affirmations should be positive, personal, and in the present tense. For example, instead of saying ‘I will be confident,’ say ‘I am confident.’ Use ‘I am’ statements to declare your truth. Make your affirmations specific and emotionally resonant. The more you can feel the affirmation as true, the more powerful it will be.
Repetition is key. Repeat your affirmations daily, preferably in the morning and before bed. You can say them aloud, write them down, or even record yourself saying them and listen to the recording. Another powerful technique is to say your affirmations while looking at yourself in the mirror. This can help to deepen the connection with yourself and your intention.
Sometimes, when you first start using affirmations, you may feel some resistance or disbelief. This is normal. It’s your old programming fighting back. If an affirmation feels too unbelievable, you can start with a more gentle version, such as ‘I am willing to believe I am worthy of love.’ Be patient and persistent. Over time, your subconscious mind will begin to accept the new belief.
