Is it truly possible for you to direct your individual life experiences and change your personal environment, at least to a degree, through the repetition of positive affirmations?

There is plenty of evidence to support the power of positive affirmations to bring about more desirable conditions, from getting a parking spot or a new job, to attracting the perfect life partner, or to promoting inner peace. However, before we try to transform the occurrences in our life through a consistent “mental focus” on the changes we desire, it might be very helpful if we took a personal “reality check” to make sure that we have complete faith that thought, our thought, truly has creative power, so that we’re not merely deluding ourselves.

We can’t hope to positively transform effects in our personal life by changing their mental cause, i.e., our point of view, through affirmations, if we are convinced that “certain conditions” are completely and irrefutably physical in origin, have no mental substructure or thought correlation and, therefore, are beyond our ability to bring about a change. If we didn’t completely believe that by changing our thinking through affirmations, we could change our personal life, then what good would affirmations do for us? It is necessary that we have at least a “mustard seed” of faith in the power of our mental focus and affirmations move a mountain in our individual life, in order for them to work.

Everyday, each of us unhesitatingly exhibits a certain amount of faith. When was the last time you were “surprised” at a sunrise? Most likely you didn’t go to sleep the night before questioning the possibility that the sun might not come up in the morning. It’s highly unlikely that it’s occurred to any of us to question our faith in the earth’s gravitational relationship to the sun. So, there you are, we all have a mustard seed of faith, a “starter kit” of unshakable trust. We can start with that and build a mountain of faith to from which to send out our affirmations.

Making affirmations while filled with uncertainty, fluctuating between faith and fear, is like filling a balloon with water instead of air. Our desires wiggle here and bulge there, but they never take flight. Faith gives our affirmations flight because true faith is mental insistence uplifted to a place of realization. Realization is the “secret” to creative mental power. When our affirmations feel true, when what we say is what we truly believe, then affirmations can really change our life.

We would probably all agree that the world is noisier now than it has ever been, in certain places reaching nearly intolerable decibels.  War, bombs, and explosions have escalated around the world. The intense and angry shouts of conflicting political and religious extremists merge into inarticulate racket. Everything is faster, noisier, and more “extreme.” Not only our ears are being assaulted, but our eyes as well. Once merely unsightly billboards are now electronic and light the night with promotions. Uninvited gimmicks sail across our computer monitors like phantoms, and then stop, impeding our ability to read more valued words beneath them. In addition, what we see is horrifying. Acts of violence and catastrophic events that have caused pain and suffering are aired over and over again, in full color, on the news. Where can peace be found in these times? How can we get there from here? Peace can be found within each of us, at the still, quiet core of our being. And we can find it through meditation.

By closing our eyes and turning away from the world, we find what seemed impossible and elusive, but was always there…peace. As we slow the pace of our breathing and allow our body to let go of stress and anxiety… we find peace. Through the slowing of the crazy pace of our thoughts, until they gently drift, like falling leaves, and settle into quietness…we find peace.

Every cell, fiber, and tissue of our body is clarified by this type of meditation Therefore, it can be healing. The babble of our mind ceases with the type of meditation. In this way, it can be revealing.

The problems of body and mind evaporate when we meditate in this way, and they frequently do not come back when we open our eyes and face the world again. The peace that we have embodied within becomes the peace of our actions in the world.

Now, maybe more than ever before, we, the people, need to meditate — to heal ourselves and, in that way, to heal the world.
