Affirmations and deliberate reality creation

I've used affirmations for years, but Abraham-Hicks has given me a perspective that makes them so much more fun to play with in creating reality. Now positive affirmations are easier to use and I have the pleasure of knowing I am creating my reality as I speak them.

Negative beliefs are the voice of what we want to change

Decades ago there was recognition that resistance would come up when we affirmed something positive we didn't have yet. That voice would pop up, "but wait a minute...," "but what about...," or just plain, "I don't believe I can...."

That resistance is the voice of the negative beliefs we wanted to change. It was seeing the conditions or having the feelings those negative beliefs created that prompted the new desire and positive affirmation. Without knowing about reality creation, we didn't realize the thoughts were connected with what we saw or felt. They were considered an inner psychological pattern.

You don't have to get rid of the old, just choose to think the new

There were a lot of techniques to deal with those resistant thoughts, but now you don't have to pay any attention to them at all. They are just thoughts and all you have to do is choose a better feeling thought.

If you are new to deliberate reality creation, just know that as you practice changing your thoughts and experiencing your feelings change with them you will discover that it works. Even if these are negative thoughts you've had for many years or even from childhood, they will change. It's very empowering to walk the new path and get to the place where you can feel -- really feel -- that the old beliefs have lost their power and are just thoughts. Once you have that experience it becomes easier and easier.

When you say a positive affirmation it is so powerful. I remember one dark night of the soul where I was at a crisis point with some very old beliefs about my worthiness and fears around experiences that had happened as a child. It was a real eye-opener to experience the control of working to turn those old unpleasant beliefs and feelings around and end up feeling better during a sleepless night!

Now I know it works and I get a warm, pleasant feeling deep inside when I speak my positive affirmations. I know the affirmation is a step on the path to my desire and the good feelings are the connection to well-being that is calling me forward.

How to use affirmations

When you have a desire for something good then state it as if it is real. Whenever you feel doubt or whenever it feels good, repeat it again. Your mind will get used to the thought and you will also get used to being in control of your thoughts.

As I mentioned, I like the Abraham-Hicks information which tells you that you don't have to work on your thoughts and reel in your desires like a fish on a line. The Universe grants your desire as soon as you have it.

Affirmations are for those times when you still believe in the old and want to change your thinking. Just think of it as building something beautiful because you are. You are being a deliberate co-creator with the Universe and building your dreams by thinking them into your experience.

I send you these affirmations of well-being:

You are a blessed being who is worthy of every good thing. You are on the right track and the Universe is with you every step of your life's journey.

All is well.

Abraham-Hicks on negative emotions and aligning with Source Energy

I just listened to the Abraham-Hicks workshop on 10/15/05 in Washington, DC. Abraham spoke about negative emotions in a way that I haven't heard before, as an experience when we are called by Source Energy.

I've been feeling the powerless range of feelings since my latest February 28th shift and yet it has been different this time. It felt very unpleasant, but I didn't feel the need to suppress them. I was experiencing them intensely and yet I was also doing the things that I knew were in the direction I wanted to go -- my gratitude journal for one thing. After my last shift on Feb. 28, my friend Gina suggested we go through the daily affirmations in Louise Hay's book, I Love My Body. I just love saying these affirmations and they have been a great help.

So, I was wanting to feel better, doing what I could to feel better and remembered Gina's gift of the Abe workshop in DC. I just listened to it and feel so much relief. Abe was saying we ask, the Universe creates what we desire vibrationally, and CALLS US to what we want. We hear the call and the negative feelings are what we feel as we kind of stumble toward what we desire -- they are those feelings of powerlessness of not knowing what to do (such as sadness, depression, anger, frustration). So, it's important to follow them and take the next step..and the next... and do whatever comes to us. Not to turn around and go back because we think we are going in the wrong direction because we have those feelings

When we are comfortable with all of our feelings and understand how deliberate creation works, we can quickly move up the emotional ladder to alignment with our desires and feeling good.

We can get to the point where we don't even experience the powerless range, but just enjoy savoring the desire knowing that it will be fulfilled. I picture it as feeling like every day is a gift waiting to be opened.

This time Abe's message that all we experience is due to our own vibration really hit home with me and was very freeing to hear. What a relief! I'm cleaning up more of that old stuff of believing my feelings are tied to something "out there" and it's a relief to be reminded it's in me and under my control.

It's an interesting thought to consider money being inside me and not "out there" in a job or some other outside source. I can think of talents that I have, that are inside me, and when I give of those talents I receive money. I think there is much more to it than that though. I'm not getting anything from Abraham that says there is a direct exchange of "you give" and "you receive" money. The message is, be the joyful being you are in truth, and all you desire comes to you. Actually, my desire for money is actually a desire for freedom, for autonomy, for doing what I want when I want to do it, for being creative just for the fun of it, for taking care of my body and nurturing my spirit, for having fun. I'm sure more will come to me about this.

Thank you Esther and Jerry Hicks and thank you Abraham! I am so glad to feel better.
