We all know that thinking positively can have an impact on our lives. It can help reduce stress and just make life better! There are many tools and techniques available to enhance positivity and manifest our desires.

Affirmations are a popular method. Yet many people often confess that their affirmations don’t work well or even at all. If you’re having difficulty with affirmations, there are some alternatives to try.

Affirmation Challenges

Working with traditional affirmations can be problematic for some people. Coming up with positive, present tense statements is generally not the issue. However, remembering to repeat them on a regular basis can be a problem.

Aside from consistency there is also the challenge of belief. It can be difficult to embrace a statement like “I am self-confident” if you really don’t feel that way. Although repetition is helpful in reframing your thoughts, your subconscious likes to argue every step of the way. Many people get discouraged and stop before they can overcome that nagging little voice.

If you are experiencing any of these challenges, don’t despair. You may have more success working with some of the following options.

Releasing Statements

Oftentimes our affirmations focus on a future goal that we attempt to bring into the present. In other words, we act as if we already have it. Instead of placing emphasis on what we seek, why not try releasing what we don’t want?

We all have things that hold us back which we would like to release. Things like fear of failure, procrastination and unresolved anger to name a few. These problems get in the way of our goals and manifestations. By releasing these issues we make room for positive thoughts and vibrations. Nature abhors a vacuum. When you release the negative, something has to fill that energetic space. Make room for good things!

Explore what you’d like to let go of and release. Here are some examples: “I release my fear of failure, etc.,” “I forgive myself for procrastinating,” “It’s okay for me to be angry. I now release my anger.” By repeating these releasing statements you will liberate yourself from the difficulties holding you back. In time you will experience a new found freedom and confidence that will propel you towards your positive ambitions.

Becoming Statements

Sometimes positive affirmations seem big and overwhelming. A statement like “I have financial abundance” can seem daunting if you’re struggling to pay the bills. Part of you might say, “Financial abundance? Are you kidding? I can’t even make the rent this month!” On some level you may also feel the pressure to have more money NOW and when it doesn’t materialize fast enough you put yourself down. To avoid these scenarios, break down your affirmation into a more manageable “becoming statement.”

Inspired by writer Suzanne Vachet, a becoming statement is less intense and doesn’t create as much resistance in your mind. So if financial abundance is the goal then try something like “I am becoming more financially abundant every day.” Still too strong a statement? Then try “I am becoming more financially stable (secure, focused, aware, savvy, etc.) every day.” Becoming statements seem more reasonable and believable. Use them as stepping-stones towards your goals. As you gain confidence and attain small successes, continue to build on your becoming statements. Keeping working towards bigger statements and eventually you will triumph!

Acknowledgement Statements

Another thing we often forget about when focused on goal achievement is acknowledging how far we’ve come. While releasing statements make room for new growth and becoming statements help to foster that growth, don’t forget the importance of previous accomplishments.

When you give yourself a pat on the back for victories you’ve already achieved, you create positive vibrations. Come up with some acknowledgement statements to remind yourself of prior successes.

After all, if you have succeeded before you can succeed again. Even if the goals are different this time around, you still have the capability to set your sights on something and attain it. Try a statement like, “I met goals successfully in the past and I am doing it again now.”

Try working with these alternatives to traditional affirmations and repeating them. You might find that they resonate with you. Most of all honor your willingness to work towards your dreams!

3 Tips to Tune your Intuitive Channels to Good News “Stations”

December 19, 2013 By 1 Comment

Another possible obstacle to opening our intuition is the fear of receiving negative or frightening messages or images.

I once met a young woman who shut her intuition down because at times she was scared by what she considered to be “evil spirits”. Children sometimes are frightened because they may see or hear “dead people or ghosts” and largely because of TV and some religious beliefs, they think this must be something bad or scary.

In my experience, I do not have this happen at all. Yet I have helped others with this issue, as it can be very debilitating, and frankly, “who you gonna call??” I couldn’t resist a moment of levity here.

I have worked successfully not only with ill-mannered entities or spirits, but also with clients who felt they were having strange physical symptoms that experts could not fathom, and famous psychics declared them as possessions, and even alien pregnancies. In each case, I empowered the client to take their choice back, and firmly put in place certain parameters for the new experience. When you realize that everything is just energy, no exceptions, then everything is quite manageable.

If you are concerned about receiving negative information or experiences, here are some things you can do to “refine your channels” and only surf the “nothing but Good News” net.

Tip #1: Set Clear Intentions

The first thing you can do is to set a clear intention about what and who you choose to open up to. This keeps your intuitive channels tuned into the best stations. There are a lot of channels to choose from so why would you not choose the station that plays the most harmonious music, or the Spirit that brings you the highest and best frequency?

One of my favorites is: “I only work with energies that are for my Highest Good.”

This puts you in charge of your experience and creates a clear filter for you. This also works on every level, and for me as a super-sensitive empath it had the added bonus of helping me not to experience so much of other people’ negative emotions in my body also!

Tip #2: Check your Beliefs – What you Think about Expands

When someone is worried about or receiving negative energies intuitively, I know that somewhere they have either a strong belief or concept that supports that experience, like the belief in the “devil” or the “world is not a safe place”. What we think about expands, so you may want to watch your thoughts more closely and choose ones that create a feeling of safety and security and trust.

It could also stem from harboring some related fears on an emotional level, like past traumas that have to do with being a victim or feeling very out of control. Some of these beliefs or concepts may not even be yours, but if you absorbed them as a child in any way, you may need to hit “refresh” so that old tapes are not running the show.

Tip #3: Energy Tool: Conscious Release

Everything is energy. Thoughts and feelings of fear or victimization, have a certain frequency and attract similar frequencies or experiences. And you are in the driver’s seat here, in charge of what you allow in, and what you allow to stay in your space.
Therefore you can release any of these ideas that no longer resonate with you, and choose ones that support a more positive and uplifting experience. Sometimes when I do this technique, I literally feel energy pulling off my body, like someone removing a layer of saran wrap!

You can start with a simple Conscious Release technique:

Take a few centering deep breaths and call all your energies back to the Present.
Say out loud: “I Release any energies, beliefs or concepts that are no longer serving my Highest Good.”
Continue to breathe deeply and notice how you feel.

The Origin Of The Swastika Symbol

December 19, 2013 By

swastika2By: Omar Cherif / Source: Conscious Life News

The swastika is an extremely powerful symbol. The Nazis used it to murder millions of people, but for centuries it had positive meanings.

This a brief history about that often-misunderstood symbol.

The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over several thousand years – possibly even predateing the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh. Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE.
During the following thousand years, the image of the swastika was used by many cultures around the world, including in China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages, it was a well known, if not commonly used, symbol but was called by many different names:

China – wan
England – fylfot
Germany – Hakenkreuz
Greece – tetraskelion and gammadion
India – swastika

Though it is not known for exactly how long, Native Americans also have long used the symbol of the swastika.
The word “swastika” comes from the Sanskrit svastika – “su” meaning “good,” “asti” meaning “to be,” and “ka” as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Even in the early twentieth century, the swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. For instance, it was a common decoration that often adorned cigarette cases, postcards, coins, and buildings. During World War I, the swastika could even be found on the shoulder patches of the American 45th Division and on the Finnish air force until after World War II.

Then in the 1800s, countries around Germany were growing much larger, forming empires; yet Germany was not a unified country until 1871. So to counter the feeling of vulnerability and the stigma of youth, German nationalists in the mid-nineteenth century began to use the swastika, because it had ancient Aryan/Indian origins, to represent a long Germanic/Aryan history.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the swastika could be found on nationalist German volkisch periodicals and was the official emblem of the German Gymnasts’ League. And by the beginning of the twentieth century, it became a common symbol of German nationalism and could be found in a multitude of places such as the emblem for the Wandervogel, a German youth movement; on Joerg Lanz von Liebenfels’ antisemitic periodical Ostara; on various Freikorps units; and as an emblem of the Thule Society.

In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For wily Hitler, the new flag had to be “a symbol of our own struggle” as well as “highly effective as a poster.” (Mein Kampf, pg. 495)

And on August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, the red flag with a white circle and black swastika became the official emblem of the Nazi Party.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler described the Nazis’ new flag: “In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic.” (pg. 496-497)

Because of the Nazis’ flag, the swastika later became a symbol of hate, antisemitism, violence, death, and murder, after 3000 of being a symbol of life and good luck.

These conflicting meanings are causing problems in today’s societies. For Buddhists and Hindus, the swastika is a very religious symbol that is commonly used.

Unfortunately, the Nazis were so effective at their use of the emblem, that many do not even know any other meaning for the swastika. Can there be two completely opposite meanings for one symbol?

In ancient times, the direction of the swastika was interchangeable as can be seen on an ancient Chinese silk drawing. Some cultures in the past had differentiated between the clockwise swastika and the counter-clockwise sauvastika. In these cultures the swastika symbolized health and life while the sauvastika took on a mystical meaning of bad-luck or misfortune.

That’s why some people today are trying to differentiate the two meaning of the emblem by varying its direction; clockwise like the Nazis meaning hate and death, while the counter-clockwise version would hold the ancient meaning of life and good luck.

How To Create Your Own Money Magic Charm?

Creating a magic charm for money may seem a bit less glamorous than charms for love, but can be just as important (especially if your personal budget is running in the red right now).

Don’t expect money and riches to come raining down on you if you do one of these spells, they don’t always work like that.

You may find yourself in a situation that forces a change of attitude with regards to how you spend your money, or you may even lose something in your life that results in more financial savings. Spells for money aren’t always that obvious with their results.

How To Create Your Own Money Magic Charm – Step-by-Step

This is a personal favorite that has worked well for me on more than one occasion. You will need a few items for this spell though:

• A small bottle with a lid
• 5 coins in different denominations
• 5 kernels of dried corn
• 5 sesame seeds
• 5 pieces of cinnamon stick
• 5 whole cloves
• 5 allspice seeds
• 5 peanuts

(Related: Discover How You Can SUMMON and INFLUENCE Universal Energy Forces which Will Give You ALL THE POWER)

Choose a bottle large enough to fit everything but not too large. You want to fill the bottle. And the peanuts are just the edible parts (no shells) and unsalted.

Put everything in the bottle and shake it up. While you’re doing so, repeat the words of the spell:

Silver and spices
Copper and grain
I need to increase
My financial gain

Store the finished bottle near where you keep your wallet or purse, but you don’t have to carry it with you (though you can if you want). As you can see from the words, having at least one coin that is silver and copper would be great.
