The term affirmation is usually associated with a positive verbal statement that is made about some goal that we are trying to reach, or some experience we desire to manifest in our lives. Some say that the act of affirmation is an act of faith. It can be an act of faith but it is definitely using the power of your speech to reprogram your mind and through this to transform your life. We must remind ourselves that our words are prophecies that we fulfill. A great teacher once said: "It is done unto you as you believe." Thus by using affirmations to declare a new and better path, by putting aside our doubts and fears and acting as if our desired goal were already a reality, we bring that reality into existence. Too many times people will declare a reality that is not pleasant and begin to live it. Like the woman who was always saying: "Oh what a pain in the neck." When I first met her she was suffering from terrible neck pain and had been to osteopaths md's and massage therapists. She was deeply unhappy and in pain. I pointed out to her that her language was creating her reality. She retrained her speech and her problem 'miraculously' disappeared. But I know it was not a miracle, it was just the power of Right Speech. In this sense, an affirmation can be any statement, act, or symbolic gesture that affirms the best reality that you intend to create. Through the process of affirmation we "act as if" our highest aspirations were already a reality, thus affirming it as our reality and manifesting it in our lives. Below is a link to affirmations for various situations below:   I invite you to use them.
