“WORDS THAT HEAL”

What makes this process so insidious is that you may not even be aware that your subconscious mind is sabotaging your efforts. Ignoring your subconscious beliefs is like painting over rust, or hacking away at weeds instead of pulling them up by the roots. Despite your efforts, you remain stuck in old self – defeating patterns without knowing why;

Fortunately there is a way out. Make the subconscious “conscious.”

In other words bring your most deeply held assumptions about life to the light of day where they can be experienced and released.

Using Affirmations the process is amazingly simple. Divide a sheet of paper into two columns. Label the “left-hand column” *Affirmation* and the “right- hand column” *What comes up.*

Then, after putting yourself in a relaxed and receptive state of mind, write your affirmation in the left hand column.

Afterwards, notice what bubbles up from the subconcsious mind. Then write the material down in the right hand column, no matter how irrelevant it may appear. The process is similar to “free association. ”

After repeating this 6 or 7 times, your right hand column will contain a list of the major negative beliefs, and the assumptions you hold regarding your affirmation.

The process is analogous to rototilling the garden of your subconcsious mind. In order to produce superior soil, you first clear away the debris, rocks, weeds, and other unsuitable material. Then, when you add the fertilizer (*Affirmations*), you will nuture only those plants (*thoughts and beliefs*) that you wish to grow.

Here are a few examples below, but you can use whatever means you need to work on;

*Affirmation=* I am successfully running my own business.

“What comes up?”= I can’t do it.

*Affirmation=* I am successfully running my own business.

“What comes up?”=It’s too much work.

*Affirmation=* I am successfully running my own business.

“What comes up?”= I need to be working at a regular 9-5 job.

*Affirmation=* I am successfully running my own business.

“What comes up?”=There’s not enough money in it.

*Affirmation=* I am successfully running my own business.

“What comes up?”= You need something that provides more security.

*Affirmation=* I am successfully running my own business.

“What comes up”= No one in your family is an entrepreneur.

Now you can see from the example it would be like you saying to yourself you “can’t” run your own business. If you keep “about anything you choose” and repeat the affirmations , the negatives will eventually exhaust themselves, to be replaced by “positive thoughts” and feelings that emanate from your Higher Self.

From stating countless times;

“I am successfully running my own business,” instead of the above negatives they can countlessly turn to “positive examples below:”

I have excellent taste in clothing.

I know other people who run their own business.

If they can do it, so can I.

If they can do it, I can too.

I know I can succeed.

Now we’re getting somewhere. Using the principle of thought substitution, your negative beliefs are being replaced by positive attitudes that will draw to you the good that you desire……..
