I love words. They’ve been magic to me since I acquired an awareness of them. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about words and manifestation… the intentionality of both… the lack of intentionality of both. It’s remarkable to me how with a deep belief, even one you bear no witness to, even one that’s restrictive, even when there is an oppositional intention how those words can be made manifest.
I’ve had no words lately. I’ve been numb. For a couple of weeks now my mind has emptied at the end of the day like bath water as you dry off. I’ve had no energy to dream, no energy for physical productivity, just. no. energy. I’ve not slept well. No inspired dreams (which are fairly normal for me). But it finally hit me to return to words…. affirmations specifically.
I no longer simply write affirmations over and over (although still rather cool to do as a form of mediation) or sing song them in my mind as in years prior. I use my limited but useful understanding of NLP to empower the affirmation… the affirmative intention, actually.
I use dry erase markers to write on my bathroom mirror so that when I read I see myself in the background. I look up as I read which helps the brain connect to the visual of what is being spoken, and then I look lower which helps the brain connect to the emotion of what is being said. It can be emotionally powerful. Unexpectedly powerful.
And when you couple the use of an affirmative intention with a mindfulness of avoiding common phrasing which can often be very from a very limited energetic & scarcity mindset you can experience remarkable and swift shifts. And I’m ready for one.
Are you?
