You probably know that healing doesn’t generally happen if your thoughts are unhealthy or negative. In fact, if you are often doubt-ridden, this doubt has a powerful influence on your ability to manifest.
Creating change requires courage and a structured attempt to let go of cynicism and self-criticism.
One of the ways we sabotage ourselves is through our language. Every thought is a form of energy that we send out to the universe that returns to us. So how might creating positive affirmations, or statements, assist you in manifesting what you desire?
Many intuitives and spiritual teachers guide us in the creation of positive affirmations. Here are some tips toward creating affirmations that will assist you on your journey:
When you create an affirmation, state it positively. (“I am healthy” vs. “I am not ill.”)
State it in the present as if you already have what you desire. (“I have abundant wealth” vs. “I will have wealth.”)
Make it concise. A one-sentence, succinct affirmation is best. (“I am forgiving and loving.”)
Make the affirmation about you and not others. (“I am full of energy” vs. “I receive prayers from others.”)
Make the affirmation specific and achievable. (“I exercise three times each week” vs. “I will exercise.”)
When your affirmation is clear, repeat it consistently each day. Trust that the universe hears your voice and heeds your request. Each day give thanks for what you know you will receive.

“People and things do not upset us, rather we upset ourselves by believing that they can upset us.” –Albert Ellis
“We become what we think about all day long.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” –Shakespeare
Do you sometimes catch yourself verbalizing thoughts that are self-defeating? Do you hope desperately for something yet limit what you think you deserve, thereby dividing yourself against yourself?
Or do you understand that your thoughts do, in fact, create your reality, yet still feel unable to move your awareness about this into any conscious action to change?
It is my view that awareness is a first step toward conscious living. So how do you move through awareness into action? A necessary second step is willingness–that is, the willingness to hold consciousness in the moment toward what you wish to have or be. Remember that your knowledge is not complete unless you act on what you know.
For example, I may desire a better financial situation. My desire may not be congruent with my thoughts. Throughout the day, I may be lamenting that I do not have enough money and focusing on this lack.
So what can I do to align my thoughts with the reality that I wish to create?
An important step would be to act as though you already are what and where you would like to be. You would then concentrate on what it would look and feel like to have or be the desired result.
You can use the power of visualization to support your conscious thoughts. See yourself manifesting what you desire. If you wish to be out of debt, visualize yourself with all that you need financially, visualize a “0” debt balance. Add an affirmation that you repeat consciously each day: “I draw wealth to myself. I have all the money that I need to bring good into the world.” Choose words that resonate with you and match your positive visualization.
It would also be important to take note of what you do have–enough water, food, sun, air, clothes, shelter, friends, love, work. If you find yourself lamenting over what you do not have, remind yourself of two important things that you do have.
When you are able to take delight in what you do have and feel grateful, you will draw more to yourself. Energetically, it is as though you open yourself up to a state of flow and abundance.
Remember that positive changes are most often ignited by our willingness to believe in them!

In my work with clients, classes, and blogs, I’ve often said we are all unlimited beings, and only individual beliefs truly hold us back. In order to manifest what you truly desire, it is important to understand how to change your beliefs (and your vibrational frequency) to attract new, more desirable experiences into your life. I have found that if you hold your intention clearly and remain true to your desire, the Universe will assist you in manifesting your intent.
As you read this blog, I am manifesting one of my dreams– I am teaching, counseling and healing others in Japan. For many years prior to my first trip to Japan, I repeated the mantra: “I desire to teach and help others internationally.”I never once thought that this would be NOT be possible, although I didn’t understand HOW it could happen. I didn’t get caught up in the logic of it–the “how’s.” I just set the intention and believed it would happen. I know Higher Powers will assist you if you hold a noble intention.
I’ve created a Heartliving workshop to teach you the art of manifesting and how to go beyond limitations to create the life you desire. During this amazing program, packed with tools, exercises, and inspiration, you will:
Learn the universal principles of abundance and manifestation and how to apply them in your life;
Decide what results you wish to create and how to shape your intentions;
Evaluate whether you are a vibrational match with your desires—which is necessary to manifest;
Learn whether you are disconnecting from Source through resistance and how to connect;
Understand that the way you “feel” is important for inviting and sustaining abundance;
Learn how your emotions, moods, and habits create vibrational grooves that help or hinder you! And so much more!
The program, open to men and women, will be held on Saturday, October 24 (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) and Sunday, October 25, 2015 (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel and Conference Center, Virginia Beach, VA. Enjoy an “Early Bird” program fee of $295.00 if you sign up before September 15th. If you’re ready to sign up for this “game changing” workshop, click here: Register
