Here Are The Reasons Why YOU Should Be Saying Affirmations.

To all my Friends at CureZone:

Affirmations are short, positive statements
which are written in the present tense. Their
purpose is to create profound changes in your
body, mind, and soul.

Let's say that you've been bothered by negative thoughts and moods: dark clouds that
hang over your life. If so, then the following
affirmation might be a good one to say:

"I am now able to change my negative moods,
see through them, and even laugh at them, for
the absurd dramas and ridiculous illusions
they are. Dark emotions no longer rule my life."

Note that you're NOT saying, "I INTEND to
change my negative moods," or "I WILL change
my negative moods." Your affirmation states that the changes have already taken place, and
are now part of your psyche.

That may strike some people as dishonest; a denial of the present reality. But it's not that at all, and here's why. When you speak an
affirmation aloud, you're letting your mind-body-soul know that things are different from
what they seem. An affirmation is concentrated
Intention. And Intention plus Attention will
create the conditions in you that will, in time, make that affirmation perfectly true.

Deepak Chopra, a great proponent of affirmations, has said, "Intentions are bascially disguised needs, and the mind-body
system is set up to meet all needs directly and indirectly."

The first day you repeat that affirmation aloud, you plant a seed inside you. In the days and months and years that follow,
the daily repetition enables that seed to
grow, flower, and eventually turn into a fruit
which ripens perfectly.

And as time goes by, you feel the positive
changes inside you; the ripening process.
That's how you know you're on the right track.
Here's another quote from Deepak Chopra, one that I find critically important to the power
of affirmations:

"Every thought I have activates a messenger
molecule in my brain. Each of my mental impulses is transformed automatically into
biological information. When I say my affirmations, I'm allowing NEW biological
information to be produced. My redefined sense
of myself is received by my cells as new
programming. Thus, the gap between my old isolated self, and the image of myself as an
ageless, timeless being, has begun to close."

Affirmations are a way of re-programming the
DNA in your cells. Once your DNA knows what
your intentions are, it finds a way to make
that intention become a reality. Of course, it
doesn't happen overnight. However, if you say
your affirmations with devotion and confidence, your life will change in the way
you intend.

Additionally, as you read your affirmations
each morning, you'll find that the now-familiar words take on new meanings, and provide you with fresh insights. Why? Because
your consciousness and awareness are expanding with each passing day.

Here's a quote from Eknath Easwaran that speaks to that issue: "I sit quietly each morning, and concentrate completely on prayers
and affirmations that embody my highest ideals. I give my mind thoughts of the purest
quality, to work with during the day. These
selfless thoughts have begun to mold my life.
Joy follows me throughout the day."

Here's a simple and direct physical affirmation that I've been repeating regularly
for 5 years. "My immune system identifies and destroys all cancer cells, harmful viruses,
dangerous bacteria, and parasites in my body."

My immune system knows what my intentions are.
And every cell in my immune system knows how
much I love it. Indeed, I have an ongoing love
affair with every one of my 75 trillion cells!
They respond by granting me radiant health,
at an age, 65, when vast numbers of my peers
are suffering from serious illnesses and degenerative conditions. I give my daily
affirmations much of the credit for my youthful vitality in this, the winter of my
lifetime.

Positive thinking is crucially important to a
happy, healthy life. Here's what Andreas Moritz has to say about that:

"I focus on perfect health, abundant energy,
renewed creativity, and spiritual ripening, so
I spontaneously manifest these in my life.
There are no other influences on my body and
mind other than the ones I allow and create
through awareness."

And one last quote from Deepak Chopra:

"I know that my intentions automatically seek
their fulfillment if left alone. Every cell in
my body is seeking fulfillment through joy,
beauty
love, and compassion. My intentions, when compressed into words, unfold magical powers. The field of awareness organizes itself around my intentions. Knowledge and intuition are forces. What I intend, changes
the field in my favor."

For the next year, My CureZone Friends, I intend to post a group or six or eight affirmations every other day on this forum.
Some of them are original with me, but most
have been culled from a lifetime of extensive
reading. As I write this in late June of 2006,
I have 260 pages of hand-copied affirmations
in my collection. I add at least a page or two
a week. In some cases, I had to change a few
words to make them present-tense affirmations.
But the essence of the insight remains unchanged.

If you're a print-oriented person, you might
want to print some of the affirmations. I keep
my affirmations in two, big 3 ring-binders that sit by my couch. Decide how many affirmations you want to say each morning
(or evening), and stop when you come to your
bookmark. Or you can click on this forum,
or my CZ website/archive, and read the
affirmations aloud from the screen. It's up
to you.

Ideally, some of the other regulars on CZ will
post their own beloved affirmations. Maya (Invincible) writes wonderful affirmations,
and so does Donna from Texas (dp9), to name
just two friends of mine.

I will also include some prayers from different sources, that function very much
like affirmations. Marianne Williamson, for
one, writes beautiful affirmations in prayer-format. And there will be a few from the
Buddhist and Hindu traditions.

Most of the affirmations I'll be posting will
be aimed at helping you spiritually ripen.
That's the #1 concern of my life right now.
However, there will also be some very good
affirmations which are addressed to your bodily organs and cells. You choose what you
need.

One last thought: If you come across an
affirmation that REALLY resonates with you --
one that causes a tingle in your core -- I suggest you copy it out on an index card, place it under your pillow, and say it aloud
just before you go to sleep, as well as first
thing in the morning. When you awaken, your
body, mind, and spirit will give that affirmation a priority status.

So let's begin! In the next hour or so, I'll
post the first two groups of affirmations.
In two days, I'll post another group. I suggest you read them aloud, if possible.
I hope and pray that many of them resonate
with you. Have fun with them, just like I do.

Blessings,

Owen
