An Example Issue:
Welcome to another issue of
The Conscious Word.
Today's Affirmation For Assurance:

I shall keep the promise that I have made to myself.
I shall never again
tell myself that I am poor, sick, weak, nor unhappy.
I shall not lie to
myself any more, but shall daily speak the truth to my inner Soul,
telling It that It is wonderful and marvelous; that It is One with
the Great Cause of all Life, Truth, Power and Action.
I shall whisper
these things into my Soul until it breaks forth into songs of joy
with the realization of Its Limitless possibilities.
I shall assure my Soul.

How To Effectively Practice This
Affirmation:
Affirmations are positive thought-seeds that can germinate in your
conscious and unconscious mind, bearing the fruit of cheerfulness,
confidence, good health and vigor.
Practicing
affirmations is a way of selecting a statement of truth and then
placing it deep within our consciousness so that the truth contained
within it, becomes internalized and genuine to us.
When
we become utterly convinced of the truth of something, which means
we have absolutely no doubts about it, the universe will be molded
and shaped to match our conviction. The challenging part is to find
a way to become convinced of something that is not yet actualized.
To cultivate our faith. This is where affirmations can help.
By taking a
thought or collection of thoughts and impressing them deeply upon
the mind with persistence and concentration, a conviction can be
cultivated. Developing our own personal convictions, especially
about ourselves, and then deepening and persisting in those
convictions is a major key to our health, happiness and success in
life.
The process of
how to practice an affirmation is simple. Affirmations are designed
to be practiced with complete concentration and are not created to
be practiced while performing other tasks. To get the best results,
set aside time, even if only 2 or 3 minutes a day, to sit down,
close your eyes, gently focus the attention at the point between the
eyebrows and practice your affirmation in a quiet place without
distractions. The more often you practice, the deeper will be the
results.
The more calm
and relaxed you are prior to beginning your practice, the more
effective your practice of the affirmation will be. If you have
time, take a short walk before beginning , or take few deep breaths
to relax and slow down. Relax and calm the mind. Just for these
few minutes, let all thoughts of the outer world and your daily
responsibilities fall away.
Begin by
speaking the affirmation out loud. Speak slowly and with complete
awareness on the meaning of the words. As you continue to repeat
the affirmation, speak more and more softly and slowly. Eventually,
continue to repeat the affirmation mentally rather than vocally.
If you can memorize the affirmation, then close your eyes during
this practice, when it feels natural to do so.
Let the
affirmation go deeper and deeper into your mind. It is essential
that you try to experience the feelings you would feel if the
affirmation were true. Allow the affirmation’s truth to be absorbed
in your every atom. “Feeling” is the key.
The words
themselves are merely a bridge from your mind to your inner self.
The inner self finds its conviction through feeling the truth of
the words.
At the
conclusion of your practice, allow yourself at least 60 seconds, to
just sit comfortably with your eyes closed, without repeating the
affirmation, and just bathe yourself in the glow of well-being which
you will discover. Try to absorb that glow into every cell of your
body. This experience alone can be very energizing, healing and
life changing.
Each
day you will receive a new affirmation designed to support your
improved health, prosperity, success, self-esteem, cheerfulness,
positive attitude and sense of connection with God. Some are short –
and some are longer, but all are created to support you in your
continued growth.
Especially good
times to practice are in the morning, just after waking and at
night, just before going to sleep.
We hope you enjoy
today's affirmation and wish you an ever increasing sense of
happiness and well-being.
