Counsellor's Diary

By Roger King

THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

I get great pleasure being asked to give talks and workshops on Love the Miracle You Are. Yet I do have my moments of nervousness. My conscious mind chooses to doubt what I can do and then old negative tapes start to pop up from my subconscious mind confirming negative thoughts from the past. Then I get to see what old programming is still left in the depths of my mind.

Yet this is a gift because I then ask the universe to help me dissolve those old negative tapes and with the help of that subconscious mind I attracted to me a wonderful book called:

“The Power Of the Subconscious Mind”
By Joseph Murphy

I found it in a bookshop and it was next to my own book on the shelf. You know when a book can sometimes fly at you from the infinite mind, so I bought it and just read it and am still reading.

This book explains in such simple language what a wonderful mind we have and when used well we create magic in our lives. Do give yourself a gift!

I support your growth

Why Do Some Affirmations *Work* - and Others Don't?

by Jeff Staniforth, http://www.affirmware.com.au/Issue-896.html

By definition, an affirmation is a statement repeated time and again either verbally or mentally -- or written down. The words of the affirmation statement - in themselves - when spoken, thought of, or written *without* a pictorial (visualized) or emotional connection -- make a very weak affirmation.

Affirmations, when worded correctly -- and when emotionally charged - are able to tap into the unlimited creative power of your subconscious mind, and manifest your desires.

Affirmations are not all created equal.  Some are, of course, better than others.  There are *power affirmations* that have been proven again and again to work - and I'll reveal some of them in a moment.

When you examine the structure of these power affirmations, you, too, can learn how to create your own powerful affirmations for your specific purposes.

Consider the following:

• "I am what I choose to be."

• "All my needs are met instantaneously."

• "I love and accept myself exactly as I am."

• "_____________ comes to me easily and effortlessly."
  (Fill in the blank with what you desire.)

• "I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit."

• "I now create my wonderful, ideal life."

What do the above power affirmations have in common?

1) They're stated in the present tense.
An affirmation is more effective when stated in the present tense. For example; "I now have a wonderful job." Avoid affirming something in the future tense, e.g. "I am going to have a wonderful job" or the results will always be waiting to happen.

2) They express a positive statement.
Affirmations need to be stated in the most positive terms possible.  Avoid negative statements. Affirm what you do want, rather than what you don't want.  For example:  "I am no longer sick."  This is a negative statement. Instead, affirm: "I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit." This statement is much more powerful as it is positive and reinforces your desired goal and doesn't confuse your subconscious mind with the mention of the undesirable condition.

3) They're short and specific.
Short affirmations are easy to say, and have a far greater impact at the subconscious level than those which are long and wordy.  Keeping them speific and to the point adds power as the idea is uncluttered by extraneous elements.

The mechanics that make affirmations powerful are:

Repetition
The importance of repetition cannot be overemphasized. It imprints the affirmation into your subconscious mind.

Emotions
Get involved, be passionate, use your emotions. Think carefully about the meaning of the words as you repeat them rather than just writing, typing or saying them.

Persistence
Practicing affirmations with persistence achieves results much sooner than practicing them periodically.  Successive sessions will have a compounding effect.

Belief
You don't necessarily have to believe your affirmation initially, in order for it to work.  Belief will grow with your forth-coming successes.  What you do need is the ability to *feel* what it would be like when the desire you're affirming is fulfilled, or your need met. Every time that you have a need -- and that need is met -- a certain "feeling" is produced in you. You need to evoke that same feeling when you state your affirmation. In other words, you need to feel with every fiber of your being that what you desire has already happened. Without this feeling, your affirmation is powerless.

Impress Yourself
Personalize your affirmations. They must *resonate* with you -- feel right for you. The stronger your connection with the affirmation, the deeper the impression it makes on your mind, and the sooner you will experience positive results.

So there you have it - the simple formula for creating affirmations that work. Based on the above, you can easily create your own affirmations to manifest any desire or need you have in life.

Remember affirmations work when you tell your subconscious mind, with an emotional charge, what you would like to experience in reality. Remember your subconscious mind cannot take a joke.

                Heated Debate

Two students standing beneath the flagpole of the faculty building were engaged in a heated debate.

"But can't you see that it's the wind that is really moving and, in its movement, making the flag curl and flap?"

"You are mistaken," the second student replied, "because you cannot see the wind. How then can you conclude that it is making the flag move?"

A philosophy professor who happened to be passing by decided to interrupt the conversation. He approached the two students, took a draw on his pipe and said, "I'm sorry gentlemen, but have you ever considered the following argument: it is your mind that both flaps and moves."
