Decades ago I was introduced to affirmations. We all were. And we continue to be. I love a good affirmation…. it can be a method of spiritual bypassing though, and that undermines your healing. It undermines true inner calm, which you know is my purpose.
Early affirmation work for “mindset” merely had us writing an affirmation/goal/intention over and over until the pen ran dry. It had us repeat it over and over in the mirror looking ourself in the eye well past the moment we felt like a weirdo for doing it. “Fake it until you make it” vibes….It shifted our attention and when we shifted enough, we found ourselves consciously convinced that we had a new thought or belief. We thought we “fixed”/ “healed”/ “corrected” the issue/event that drove us to affirmations. Thing is, I don’t believe it did.
Affirmations can be a distraction energy. A diversion. It has us look over here so we don’t address what’s going on over there. And that is how we come to the layered nuances of shadow work. Those moments we affirmed out of our immediate thought pattern were never processed. And so they sit within the cells of our body yearning to be seen….in those shadows, where dis-ease roots in and breeds.
With Mind-Body-Spirit-Release the healing is based upon intention, which is truly a prayerful affirmation we want to be held true. I test the stress response to it and clear the stress… that stress is a layer. It’s a layer of energetic muscle memory that is subconsciously woven into every hour of our life that holds us back. Somehow, some way….
And this lifting of stress allows you to move energetically closer to your intention. And this is where mindset becomes a powerful tool for genuine healing.
When you become aware of blocks, and release the blocks, you are able to sit within the emotion your affirmation brings to the surface. And combining the words and the emotions is where the transformation is. This combination of “feeling as if” creates new energetic pathways that then send the signal out that you are a match for something truly different, and upgraded. It’s quantum physics. And there is nothing “fake” about it.
Do you remember how it felt to be exited for something you knew was “on it’s way”… a relaxing vacation or living in a new home you closed on or a party… You had a visual of it, and a powerful feeling connected to it. You were not “faking” anything.. you were experiencing a state of “when it’s happening… “.. the “as if” energy.
If you are on a healing journey of any sort… the path to healing, is through feeling… reimagining and connecting to the emotion of that reimagined state.
And if you’d like to see the shifts swiftly…. use the science of brainwaves… Our minds are most pliable just upon waking and just before sleep. Take that time for you.
