Affirmations to Practice
I bow to the one infinite Father, differently manifesting in the many churches and temples that have all been erected in His honor. I worship the one God resting on the various altars of different teachings and religious faiths.
I am not the body. I am invisible. I am Joy. I am Light. I am Wisdom. I am Love. I dwell in the dream body through which I am dreaming this earth life; but I am ever eternal Spirit.
I am beyond everything finite….I am the stars, I am the waves, I am the Life of all; I am the laughter within all hearts, I am the smile on the faces of flowers and in each soul. I am the Wisdom and Power that sustain all creation.
Keys to Practice of Affirmation
An affirmation should be repeated several times in succession during meditation, as well as several times during the day,
with deep concentration and faith in its materialization, until it manifests as a reality in your life.
- When to Practice: Affirmations can most easily be impressed upon the subconscious mind immediately after awakening in the morning or during the period of somnolence preceding sleep at night; or during the interiorized state following meditation.
- How to Practice: Sit with spine erect. Close your eyes and gently focus your gaze and concentrate at the point between the eyebrows. Then, take a deep breath and exhale it, three times. Relax the body and keep it motionless. Cast away anxiety, distrust, and worry. Repeat all of the affirmation, first loudly, then softly and more slowly, until your voice becomes a whisper. Then gradually affirm it mentally only, without moving the tongue or the lips, until you feel that you have attained deep, unbroken concentration—not unconsciousness, but a profound continuity of uninterrupted thought. If you continue with your mental affirmation, and go still deeper, you will feel a sense of increasing joy and peace.
