Affirmation

A declaration of that which one knows to be true or wish to aspire and maintain. Affirmations can provide the subconscious mind with an energizing thought process and may not work unless an effective focus is given to creating an identity to that which is being affirmed.

Example: (many subliminal tapes carry this kind of message):

• There is a peaceful, comforting and healing energy that flows though you.
  You are secure in yourself and relationships.
  You are able to listen properly to others
  You like to give rather than receive
  You portray a positive self-image
  You accept change as a teaching experience
  You do not judge others
  You do not criticize others
  You are open to the universe of ideas
  You release and dissolve all limitations
  You accept yourself unconditionally
  You feel good about yourself
  You love life

There are many people who consider that affirmations should eliminate the word `I' in order to remove any form of conflict. This is because if one states "I am secure" then the assumption is that one is insecure. An effective affirmation is simply to say the word "secure."
