Five Types of Affirmations for Empowerment
Five categories of affirmations support you in manifesting
powerful change. These five categories or types of affirmations
have emerged from my consulting work with clients and workshop
participants. You may work with affirmations in every category
concurrently, or you may focus on a different category each day
or each week. It is important that affirmations you select
resonate with you, that is, that they feel natural and
appropriate. In order to experience this resonance, you may need
to change words in the ones listed here as examples, or let
these inspire you to create ones you prefer, or develop your own
from scratch.
Popular Affirmations
Many popular affirmations are beautiful, indeed, they are quite
extraordinary! However, if you do not believe them, they are
useless or even counterproductive. If you say an affirmation you
do not believe, saying it repeatedly will not make you believe
it. Actually, the repetition can build up greater resistance to
believing it. Consider this example: Sam feels powerless. He has
had many experiences that he can point to that justify his
feelings and his belief in his own powerlessness and
unworthiness. Saying "I am powerful" is less likely to erase his
feelings of powerlessness than to prompt an emphatic reaction,
such as, "Oh, no, I'm not!" If Sam does not deal with the
resistance, he carries it with him as he lives his life.
An empowering process emerges by using these five categories of
affirmations in a systematic way to assist you in embracing an
affirmation that you desire to believe but do not. If you have
an intention and a desire to say and believe "I am powerful,"
start by releasing powerlessness, open to the possibility of
being powerful, affirm an intention and readiness to live in
your power, claim your power, and let the idea of powerfulness
integrate into your life.
Following are the five categories of affirmations described
briefly with a few examples of each type.
Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations
The purpose of Releasing and/or Cleansing Affirmations is to let
go of unwanted and unneeded stuff. Especially, they help you let
go of resistance. They allow you to purify your system. These
affirmations stimulate the release of toxins such as negative
thought forms, repressed or suppressed emotions, old memories,
negative bonds with others, karma, dark consensus reality,
illusions of all types.
Examples:
* I give myself permission to release toxicity from every level
of my energy field. * I rescind outdated vows of poverty,
celibacy, struggle, silence, and unworthiness. * I release
resistance. * I let go of old programs that keep me stuck in old
patterns. * I let go of everything I do not want or need for my
highest good.
Receiving/Accepting Affirmations
The purpose of Receiving and/or Accepting Affirmations is to
open to allow something to be. They allow us to receive goodness
from the Universe. They neutralize the misqualification of
energy; that is, they can reverse illness or other density. In
addition, they help us shift the attention from disempowering
actions such as, "getting" or "taking" to more freeing concepts
such as, "receiving" and "allowing" and "accepting."
Examples:
* I open to the gifts of the Universe. * I allow abundance to
flow through me. * I accept support when I need it. * Dear God,
please let me know what to do in a way that I can
understand. *
I accept peace and joy in all aspects of my life.
Being/Intending Affirmations
The purpose of Being and/or Intending Affirmations is to ground
your purpose, especially your higher purpose. These affirmations
enhance conscious awareness of your intention about something or
about your mission in life. In addition, these affirmations can
deepen your understanding of your reason for being and/or acting
generally or in a specific situation. They can be used to
enhance any and all actions that follow.
Examples:
* I know that this is for the highest good of all concerned. *
I deepen my awareness of the consciousness from which actions
spring. * I live my mission. * My intention is to live free from
struggle, fear, and hopelessness. * I remember.
Acting/Claiming Affirmations
The purpose of Acting and/or Claiming Affirmations is to bring
something into manifestation or to direct the energy of your
intention to appropriate manifestation. These affirmations bring
into the physical experience those ideas that you hold in your
mind and/or heart. In addition, these affirmations help you to
claim your power and establish boundaries in relationships.
Examples:
* I act with high intention and purposeful awareness. * I step
into the world to live my mission in every word and action. * I
demand my good right now. * I make every act an act of love (or
freedom or mastery or hope, etc.). I am powerful. I am worthy. I
am loveable. I am free.
Integrating/Embodying Affirmations
The purpose of Integrating and/or Embodying Affirmations is to
allow the energy and meaning of the affirmations to merge with
your consciousness. Affirmations and ideas that do not resonate,
drop away. Integrating/Embodying Affirmations support us in
knowing more deeply -- integrating -- what we have learned
rather than introducing new information.
Examples:
* I integrate trust into every aspect of my life. * I breathe
love into my job, my body, my relationships. * Yes to Life! *
Today is an opportunity for peace. * I breathe in abundance,
letting my whole body feel its energy.
Affirmations as Lifestyle
As you work more and more with intentional affirmations --
written, spoken, read, chanted, meditated upon -- you will make
them part of your lifestyle. Affirmations are already working
for (or against!) you. It is your job to select the ones you
want to live by. Remember, you are already using affirmations
every time you think or speak! If your current affirmations are
disempowering, you can intentionally change them to ones that
you choose to live by. EzineArticles Expert Author Jeanie
