Calling Your Preferred Future Into Being: Affirmations Like You Never Used Them BeforeThere is a little something I stumbled upon by accident (or maybe not) that I wanted to share with you. I never read it in a book or have heard of anybody using it. I asked my Reiki Master who is also a world renowned intuitive what he thought of the whole thing and he said if it works use it!It is called Calling Your Preferred Future and it is one of the easiest ways to let the Universe (your inner self) know what you are focusing on. It is similar to affirmations except you simply talk to the thing you are focusing on. I first discovered this technique when was frantically looking for an item I needed to find in a hurry. I said to the item “item, item show me where you are”. I affirmed the call a few times and then stopped looking. A few minutes later I ‘felt’ to look in a certain area of the house. The item was there. I was a little stunned and told no one of my discovery. I practiced this method daily for the next month or so. At almost a 100% success rate I quickly found items (I live with a messy person who happens to be four...), located items I wished to purchase (but did not know where to find them), and attracted other things into my life. It was at this point I mentioned this to my Reiki Master. He seemed intrigued and confirmed he had never heard of this process before. I continued with my experiments. It continued working. I don’t really know how it works, but it works. Now I am calling everything that I desire – situations, items, person I wish to connect to, just about everything. I still use affirmations religiously and find myself calling my future at the times during the day when my preferred future crosses my mind. A friend of mine is calling her perfect income source as she is between careers right now. My four year old ‘calls’ items she has lost (it seems to work for her too) and she even located a lost pair of doll pants that went missing for about six months. There is one key to this technique – after you do the calling - stop looking and simply wait You may have to call your item for a period of time. This is not magic. I have called some items for months. When the thought of your desired item crosses your mind - simply send out the call. More often than not you will stumble upon your desired item when you are not even thinking about – it will just be there in front of you. Don’t be surprised if you let out a chuckle at the humor of it all. Here are some examples to get you going: Income increase: Perfect income, perfect income show me where you are Romance: Perfect lover, perfect lover show me where you are Home: Perfect home, perfect home, show me where you are Lost item: Name of item, name of item, show me where you are Solution to issue: Solution, solution, show me where you are Health: Perfect health, perfect health, show me where you are Career: Perfect job, perfect job, show me where you are Notice what happens...You will start getting intuitive promptings to act a certain way, follow up a lead, go to a certain area, visit a certain shop or stop doing something you think was really serving you. Try it out and see how easy it is to Call Your Preferred Future. Be well, Joan Pasay **************************************************************************
What is The Law of Attraction and How Does It Relate To AffirmationsSince the release of The Secret movie a few years ago the term Law of Attraction has become more main-stream -- but where did this term come from?Well, The Secret producer Rhonda Byrne and her many guests (Joe Vitale, Bob Proctor, Bill Harris and others) did not invent it -- The Law of Attraction philosophy has actually been around for at least a hundred years. It is worth noting that The Secret movie (and Rhonda Byrne's book by the same name) definitely gave the Law of Attraction a huge boost. The New Thought movement in the early 1900's often used the term Law of Attraction. Since then these and other authors referred to the Law Of Attraction or presented similar positive thinking methods: -Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) -Wallace Wattles (The Science of Getting Rich, which was also the inspiration for The Secet) -Florence Scovel Shinn (The Game of Life) -Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life) -Esther and Jerry Hicks channeling Abraham (Ask and It Is Given) -Joe Vitale (The Attractor Factor) Florence Scovel Shinn explains the Law of Attraction as follows: "The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always ‘pulling the strings’ himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract." The Game of Life, Florence Scovel Shinn others explain the Law of Attraction as follows: 1.Know exactly what you want. 2.Ask the universe for it. 3.Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is on its way. 4.Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome. As you can see this philosophy maps on well with the use of affirmations. In fact, some people seem to interchange the term Law of Attraction with affirmations. So knowing 'like attracts like' now what? Well, it is worth noting that it does not matter if you have heard of the Law of Attraction or not, or whether you pledge some sort of allegiance to it -- it is working in the background, and always has been regardless of your knowledge of it. Many people think that the reason why affirmations work is because of the Law of Attraction. Is it possible that the Law Of Attraction does not exist? Sure it is. Is the Law of Attraction an universal law sent from the heavens to help us? Well, maybe...or maybe it is someone's way of explaining why one of something seems to attract more of the same thing. Regardless of where the Law of Attraction came from it is worth testing in your own life to see if 'like is attracting like' for you. It is does seem pretty clear that if a person never focuses on certain things those things don't ever seem to happen for them AND on the flip side if a person does focus on certain things (by using affirmations or another method) that those things seem to appear more often than not. Try it for yourself and see. Be well, Joan Pasay Ps. try this affirmation --I am open to new ways of looking at how affirmations will work for me ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Sunday, March 29, 2009 What is THE SECRET Movie and Why Do So Many People Seem To Be Dissing It?In my last post I mentioned a movie a number of times called 'The Secret'. If you don't know what it is here are some key points about it.The Secret is an independent movie (2005) that was produced and created by an Australian woman named Rhonda Byrne. The movie uses interviews and short dramatic clips to explain and demonstrate something called the Law of Attraction. (If you don't know the Law of Attraction is tune in for my next post.) The movie is well known because Ms. Byrne and her team of internet marketers did a smash up viral online campaign that is still talked about today. Everybody was talking about the movie 'The Secret' before it was released online. Later, Oprah endorsed the movie, as well as having a number of The Secret interviewees on her show, which of course helped. Ellen also went on to interview some of the interviewees as well. The movie does a pretty good job of keeping the pace going by doing quick cuts from interviews to the dramatic clips as well as using state of the art effects and music. Some of the person who were interviewed during the movie were: Dr. Joe Vitale - a long time new thought author and advocate of the Law of Attraction and it's principles. He is also an internet marketing guru as well as a business coach Bob Proctor - a well known business coach Jack Canfield - a well known American success coach Mike Dooley - author of the popular Notes From The Universe daily email series, as well as similar books about The Universe. Mike's philosophy is centered around the statement 'Thoughts Become Things, So Think The Good Ones!' John Assaraf - entrepreneur Michael Beckwith - pastor, speaker and visionary John Demartini - a well known philosopher Bob Doyle - a well known author Hale Dwoskin - author of The Sedona Method (if you have not read it, check it out) Morris Goodwin - known as 'The Miracle Man' John Gray - a well known author John Hageline - a quantum physicist Bill Harris - the creator of the popular Holosync (Centerpointe) meditation audio CDs Neale Donald Walsch - author of The Conversations with God series as well as a number of others. You can see a complete list of interviewees, as well as see the movie at TheSecret.tv The Secret was inspired by the book The Science of Getting Rich a long out of print book by a turn of the century author named Wallace Wattles. The movie does explain The Law of Attraction (Ask, Believe and Receive) however the original version of the movie looked quite different. In the beginning the movie included interviews and narration by a woman named Esther Hicks. She channels a group of entities named Abraham. Esther Hicks (and her husband Jerry) have been long time Law of Attraction coaches, speakers and authors and their writings clearly explain The Law of Attraction. Part of the Hicks teaching is to use something called the Emotional Vibration Scale. Basically they teach that in order to 'attract' something into your life you need to feel a positive emotion along with your visualization. In some of my earlier posts I have mentioned that when you do your affirmations you need to be feeling a positive emotion when you say your affirmation. If you don't they won't work. What the Hicks teachings advocate is a similar approach. Anyway... for contractual reasons the Hicks portion of The Secret was deleted. What was left was a much fluffier version of how The Law of Attraction works and how to use it. The original version of The Secret, with the Hicks teachings intact (with explanation of the Emotional Vibrational Scale), are available online and to purchase. The links seem to move around so I am not sure where they are coming from. With the Hicks teaching removed the message was watered down however still helpful to someone coming across this type of thinking for the first time. If you can see the movie I would recommend it. I think Rhonda Byrne's intention with this movie was to bring this message to the world in order to make it a better place. I think she fulfilled her intention. You will want to check out two books as well in order to get the full essence of what the movie was intending to communicate: Ask and It Is Given - Esther Hicks The Science of Getting Rich - Wallace Wattles (see previous post for a FREE download link) Since The Secret came out many people have been negative about the movie. First, Christian evangelicals call the whole Law of Attraction philosophy witchcraft and those persons had a heyday with responses to the movie when it was released. I am sure hundreds of sermons where written and delivered. Second, the mainstream media was not so kind to the message and many called The Law of Attraction philosophy new age mumbo jumbo. Oprah's endorsement did not help in this regard. Third, some of the very people who were interviewed are now coming forward and 'saying' their comments were taken out of context and they were not happy with how the movie portrayed them. Further, some of these persons have now come out with rival products or 'companion products' that are intended to fully explain what The Secret missed out on. If you have not seen the movie, see if you can see it. If for no other reason you will be introduced so some very competent teachers and authors. You will get some understanding of The Law of Attraction; however, you will need some supplemental reading (see above) if you want to understand this philosophy. If you want to check out another movie that might shed a bit different light on some of the things mentioned in The Secret as well as very clearly demonstrating the damaging effects of negative affirmations check out What The Bleep Do We Know (available to rent at your local video store). Another movie that you will find helpful is You Can Heal Your Life - available online at www.youcanhealyourlifemovie.com This movie tells the story of Louise Hay, one of the great advocates of the use of affirmations. She is also the founder of Hay House a popular Self Help/New Age book publisher. So what's up next? Check out my next blog to learn about The Law of Attraction and how understanding it will help with your affirmations. Until next time, be well. Joan Pasay PS. Try this affirmation I am open to learning about new things that will help me experience all the wonders and abundance of this world. ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Monday, March 23, 2009 How Can I Use Affirmations To Get Money?Well, you can't.Affirmations in themselves won't get you anything. Changing your thought patterns about money will change how much money you have and affirmations are a great way to do this. Remember? New Thoughts (via affirmations), lead to new feelings, which lead to new decisions, which lead to new actions which lead to new results.... Some people are in dire situations in that they 'need' money right now to survive or address a heated situation. Wayne Dyer said "If you have money problems it is never really about money". I have learned this to be true, in my own life as well as when I have coached others. If this is your situation I would recommend you go to a family member/friend or creditor and get yourself out of the hot water you are drowning in for temporary time-out and then step back and examine your life and what is really going on...(if you don't take the time to step back brace yourself to be right back in a similar situation in the not so distant future...usually worse than this one...) For the other people who simply want more money -- affirmations can work for you -- if you let them. Most people have issues surrounding money. It seems these issues are really more about personal security then money. Money seems to be the target for these issues because we use money in our society to sustain ourselves as most people do not have the skill set to 'live in the forest and survive off the land..' Thus money is viewed as being essential to survival. The first step in using affirmations to increase your wealth factor (whether you just want a little more or alot more) is to be open to changing your views about money. Since you are wanting something you don't have it can be assumed your current thought patterns are preventing you from being at your desired 'money location'. Here is a great money affirmation to start with: I am open to new thoughts about money and my relationship with money. This affirmation will help you expand your thinking about money. -You may find you come across new books that teach different money realities than you are used to. -You may find you meet people that earn money in ways you have never heard of. -You may suddenly look at your parents, family members or friends and realize patterns of money lack or poverty. Whatever you see, come across of realize will be a result of you affirming you are open to new ways of thinking about money. Affirmations always work a lot better when you admit you might not have all the best ways of thinking and looking at things and you are willing to change those paradigms to reach your goals. Affirmations that start with I am open.... are gentle and are readily accepted by the subconscious without fear. Further when you open yourself to new ways of looking at things some of the new paradigms are allowed to 'get out' of your inner self because you opened yourself. Don't think help will come from somewhere else, the help you need comes from within you. Sometimes all it takes it letting your true spirit essence out (rather than letting something in...). So after you affirm you are open to new ways of thinking about money then what? I have found affirming for specific things to be rather hit and miss so I avoid the... I am enjoying driving my new Toyota forerunner or I am enjoying living in my new home at 123 Maple Street Focusing on specific things you want to enjoy with your new found wealth is fine but it puts limits on what will happen. I know you think you would be happy with the new Toyota or the house on Maple Street but what if these things are not what would be the best for you? Have you sat in and driven every car out there? Have you been in every house? Why not affirm I have all the money I need to enjoy all the experiences I will ever desire I am taken care of and have everything I desire (this one addresses that security issue so many of us have) I am enough - I am enough to create all the money and experiences I desire My life is easy and fun and I have more than enough resources for my every desire I am open to new ways of providing value and service and being rewarded with great riches Have fun changing your thought patterns so money will freely flow in your direction! Be well, Joan Pasay Here is my favourite money affirmation I am in the constant flow of money, money is flowing in and money is flowing out If you can do this when you meditate visualize the flow and you keeping the flow going. Money is not for hoarding -- it is for giving and receiving. One can not work without the other! ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Sunday, March 22, 2009 How Do I Start Using Affirmations? Is It Easy?It is pretty easy to start doing affirmations, after all you have been doing them all your life...Have you ever said - My back is killing me! I am sick as a dog! I feel like killing her - I am so angry! You make me so angry I could blow up! I hate you when you do that! You know, when it rains it pours.. No rest for the wicked... The only guarantees in life are death and taxes Hmmm, these are affirmations? Well yes, they are just not positive ones. We affirm things to ourselves and others all the time -- it is built into our language. Deciding to incorporate positive affirmations into your life is simply an act of choosing your words and thoughts a little more carefully. The first thing you want to do when you start using positive affirmations is decide to be positive all the time. It sounds easy but it is not. We are bombarded everyday with others saying negative things, negative advertising and negative media message in the newspapers, radio, TV and Internet. An easy way to be positive all the time is to 1. Tell your friends and family (or those you live with) that you are turning over a new leaf and will only be positive. If they hear you being negative you have to give them a quarter. Just see how fast your friends get richer and you dole out the quarters!!! 2. Tie a red piece of red yarn around your wrist to remind you to be positive. Throughout the day you will see the red yarn and be reminded of your new way of life. After a few weeks you will see that the negative comments are greatly reduced and you feel a whole bunch better. So now that you have the speaking part of your life moving in the right direction now it is time to work on the thoughts part. This part is a little harder to reign in and control. First, choose some positive affirmations to incorporate into your thoughts I am healthy I am safe I am happy I am open to living a peaceful life My life is easy and fun etc. If you take time to meditate during the day (even if it is on your bus ride to work) say these power statements to yourself (and out loud - if you can) for a few minutes. Try to say the statements with a positive emotion attached (the affirmations will work better if attached to a emotion). Saying the positive statements to yourself, while looking in the mirror help too. Whenever you get a few free moments during the day go through your affirmations. At night, as you are drifting off to sleep repeat your affirmations over and over as you drift off. All in all this process takes about 15 minutes a day. You can also write out your affirmations on post it notes and place around your home, in your car or at your workplace. One of my coaching clients has her affirmations written on little cards and she places them all over her home so she sees them where ever she goes. She also reviews her affirmations while meditating and whenever she feels a little stressed during her day. Try it! You will really see a difference. Incorporating positive affirmations into your life is really not that big of a deal. Here is an affirmation to try when you are starting out. I am open to being positive in my words and thoughts Be well, Joan Pasay ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Saturday, March 21, 2009 What Happens If What I Am Affirming Appears In My Dream Life?The first thing I would say is congratulations! Your affirmations are working!!!!But let's back up a bit first. Let's say you are affirming that you will behave in a certain manner when faced with stress. The affirmation could be I am able to handle all I encounter with ease. Since you are affirming this I will assume you are wanting to encourage this type of behavior within yourself and that you have not always exhibited this skill. So you affirm the affirmation and go on with your days. A few weeks later you have a dream while you are sleeping. A stressful situation happens and you handle it with ease.... Interesting, you are exhibiting your desired behavior in your dream life. Do you know what this means? It means you have gotten this thought pattern into your subconscious mind and it has been accepted. This is very positive!! I have heard of persons have progressive type dreams over a period of nights. Each night the situation repeating itself and the desired behavior becoming more and more prevalent each time the dream happens. Personally I have had these types of dreams many times. I have even had dreams where I am promoting my affirmation to others! One of the greatest times to say an affirmation is when you are falling asleep (or trying to). When the body is preparing to enter into sleep it goes into an alpha state and you are much more receptive to new thoughts in this time because your brain is not on high alert as it is when you are awake. I always run through my list of affirmations as I am laying in bed at night before I fade off to sleep land. If I am too tired to think straight I say one of the shorter ones like I am in the flow and I am happy or I welcome the flow of life Or if that is too many words to think as you are falling asleep I am safe or I am happy or My life is easy (one of my favourites) Are you going to dream tonight? If you do maybe this will be the night when what you are affirming starts to take place in your subconscious dream life. Sweet dreams!

Friday, March 20, 2009 Can A Christian Say Affirmations?Why not?Well known Christian and positive thinker Norman Vincent Peale promoted many affirmations such as I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me. Peale would even promote this affirmation with non-believers. The Bible is full of references to thinking positively so if you are a Christian and have been thinking of incorporating affirmations into your life - go right ahead. One thing you may find is that some affirmations might butt up against some of the teachings of your faith. For example: If you are desiring riches and are affirming wealth related affirmations BUT your Christian teachings have indicated to you that being rich is a sin, or wrong, or not to be desired then your affirmations may not do much for you. Should this 'affirmation vs. Christian belief system conflict' happen simply examine the inner belief system you have about the particular subject and ask yourself if you can take on a different paradigm and not challenge your faith. Or you might be up for a bit of a faith challenge, it is really up to you. Some Christian belief structures are more self-empowering than others and you may find that you need to seek out one that promotes personal power. Persons who participate in the Word Of Faith movement are often taught affirmations type statements to say to themselves are part of their devotions. Have fun with your affirmations, whether you have a structured faith system or not, Joan Pasay PS. Here is an affirmation for you I am open to learning how affirmations can help me be all I can be ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Thursday, March 19, 2009 Affirmations and The Flow Of LifeIt seems some people have a really tough time with affirmations and give up using affirmations, never having realized their dreams. While the reasons affirmations don't work are varied, one of the more common reasons that affirmations won't work is because some people have a really hard time with life.I have coached an individual who is a great example of this very thing. We will call him Sam. Sam is a great guy, smart, intellectual and quite witty. Until recently Sam had a very large bolder he was carrying around. For a variety of reasons Sam did not want to accept he was a human being. I know it sounds a little strange but this condition is actually quite common. If any of the following ring true for you you might want to ask yourself if you really accept being here and being human.
As I pondered Sam and his situation it seemed to me like Sam really did not want to be here. He even told me he felt the answer was for him to 'just disappear off the planet' and if he could he would. Why was Sam behaving like this? For Sam the root issue of this behavior seemed to be hyper religious dis-empowering teachings from his childhood and teenage years. I have seen others exhibit the same behaviors when raised in a household where the caregivers where very abusive and domineering towards the children. Children who are adopted also seem to go down this path as well. Why? It seems that some people come into this world without a concept that it is OK that they came here and they are equipped to be a human being. Not surprisingly if a child is raised and told that he must rely on God for sustenance how could the child then grow to an adult and live and kind of productive life without running to God everyday for help? I am not saying believing in God is harmful. If you find the practice helpful go right ahead. What I am saying is that part of a successful human experience to think...
The human experience is one that is about flow and experience. People, objects and experiences flow in and out of your life. Sometimes the experiences are lovely sometimes they are painful. I have never met any human who has only had the 'lovely' part of the flow. Further, when the not so lovely parts happen some people want to run away, rejecting the experiencing and longing for something that has flowed away. Practicing this rejection technique stops of the flow of life and paralyzes you in a vacuum of non-humanness. If a person thinks they are not equipped to experience the flow of life things like pain, heartache and a lot of stumbling around seem to be the result. Accepting the human experience means accepting you can do this human thing and you are willing to get into the flow of it. So how does this affect the effectiveness of affirmations? Well, when you really don't think you can do the human experience most affirmations won't make much of a dent in your subconscious mind - how could they? You have already determined you can't do this -- and I mean all of this. As you can imagine thinking you can't do this human thing is very un-serving and will bring you much pain and confusion because you will have a hard time reconciling being here when you know (or you think you know) you should not be here or are not equipped to be here. So is this you? The first step is to admit it might be and the next step is to simply, gently affirm the following I am open to living the human experience and I welcome the flow of life. OR I am in the flow of life and I accept I have everything I need to be here. OR, one of my favourites... I am enough. I came to this planet equipped to thrive and flourish. Be well, Joan Pasay PS. You can do this human thing - just like an apple tree has all it needs to grow into a huge tree bearing fruit you have all you need to live the human experience.... Does the apple seed seek out help with on how to grow into a tree, on how to grow an apple? No, and you really don't need to either ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 What Can I Do When I Meditate To Help My Affirmations Work Quicker? Visualize!Last time we talked about learning how to meditate and how to say your affirmations when you are in meditation. Now you can add something that will really jump-start your affirmations - visualizing.Visualization is simply seeing your affirmation come to pass - in your mind. When you are meditating and saying your affirmation see yourself with this affirmation achieved and for a few moments feel what it would feel like. DO NOT: Visualize HOW you will achieve the affirmation. Simply see it as being done. Here is an example: You are affirming to live in a beautiful home that is just right for you and your family. Affirmation: I am living is my beautiful home, that I love and that is just right for me and my family. When you are saying your affirmation - Visualize yourself and family in this 'mystery' home living day to day. Experience the feeling of walking around this home knowing you manifested it through your affirmations and efforts. After a few minutes of this exercise let the vision in your mind go and move on to another affirmation. Visualizing for a few minutes will work wonders for you...Getting caught up in hyper-extended visualizing (when you spend many minutes or hours) about the same thing over and over will paralyze you from making decisions and taking action. As well, letting yourself ponder as to HOW the affirmation will come to pass will also get you in trouble and paralyze you. Stay away from spending extended period of time visualizing or ponder HOW. Simply say your affirmation during your meditating, 'see it' completed in your mind's eye and move on. If you are saying your affirmations later in the day (when you are not in meditation) you can visualize the 'completed affirmation' too. Visualizing always helps - but just for a few moments. Be well, Joan Pasay PS. Try this affirmation I am enough. I came to this earth equipped to thrive and prosper.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 How Do I Use My Intuition To Make My Affirmations Work Quicker? Learn To Meditate!First let's define what the intuition is...It is that inner voice you sometimes hear when you are very still. No, it's not the voice of your mother that you sometimes hear...that is your habitual mind. If you have never heard this voice don't feel bad, most have not. Some people just feel a 'feeling'. Others will tell what their intuition is saying by noticing what their gut is telling them. Your intuition, once awaken, will greatly help you achieve what you are affirming. How? You will make much better decisions! People who are 'in touch' with their intuition tend to waffle less and are able to make very important decisions quickly without falter. Basically, in a nut shell, being indecisive sucks big time because you can't make a decision. If you cannot make a decision affirmations won't do much for you. Saying affirmations is great but even greater is the new DECISIONS and ACTIONS you will take (or hopefully take if you listen to your inner voice a.k.a. intuition) and then the RESULTS you will experience. Remember how this affirmation thing works? Affirmations will start the following chain reaction... THOUGHTS - this is the affirmation FEELINGS - you want to get a positive emotion for the chain to continue DECISIONS - make decisions that will get you closer to what you want ACTIONS - take the appropriate actions that will manifest your visions RESULTS -enjoy it you earned it Getting in touch with your intuition takes a bit of practice but after awhile it will come quite naturally to you. Meditation also really helps. Meditation is simply a practice of clearing the mind and turning off your mind who likes to chatter about this and that and worry. Having a regular time of slowing down and trying to think of nothing is very valuable. 15 minutes a day is a great way to start. If you have never done this it may be hard for the first few days. 1. Get comfortable and be still (moving around will distract you) 2. Clear your mind (focusing on a white light, or seeing yourself in a white room helps) 3. Once you hear your mind start to chatter about this, that or worry simply tell your mind that it is not welcome in this place and ask it to stop. This will take practice but if you stick with it after a few weeks the chatter will lessen. After a few months you may notice you can go many minutes without hearing the mind chatter. 4. After you have calmed your mind and been still - start working your affirmations. What you say? Yes, say your affirmations when you meditate. Be sure to have some quiet time for a few minutes and then start affirming. Saying your affirmations at least five times slowly will leave a huge impression on your calmed mind. Be sure to affirm I am open to hearing my intuition and all it will tell me. as well as your other affirmations. After you stick with this meditation method for awhile you will start to notice that you are more aware of how your body feels. You may also start hearing promptings to -phone a certain person who can help you -visit a certain website -stop doing something that, until this moment, you really thought would help you reach what you are affirming -go for a walk for no apparent reason -visit a store you do not frequent -pick up and read a certain magazine or newspaper or countless other promptings to do certain things that, at the time, you really don't know why you should do them. You will also find yourself connecting with people that can help you or steer you in the direction of your affirmation. And after that interesting and unexpected things will start to happen to help you get closer to achieving your affirmations - courtesy your intuition. Why does this happen? An active meditation practice (with the intent of calming the mind) enables you to be more in tune with your intuition who is very willing to help you with your affirmations - if you quiet yourself and listen. There is also another thing you can do in tandem with your meditating and meditating/affirming that really will help quicken your affirmations too, but that will have to wait until next time.... Be well, Joan Pasay PS. Try this affirmation I am open to learning how to quiet my mind and hear my intuition and/or I am open to learning how to make affirmations really work for me ******************************* Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Monday, March 16, 2009 What Happens When I Say An Affirmation In The 'God Realm"Hmmm, that's a lot to ponder.Lot's of people will be very serious when they try to tell you what is going on in the unseen when you say your affirmations. Does the hand of God move things and people around to help you? I don't know, and neither does anyone else. It is interesting that even cultures from thousands of years ago sought for spiritual meaning and getting some 'feel' for the unknown or the unseen. Cultures created their own explanations of 'what was out there' and answered such questions as:
Funny, no one has ever gone to this place and come back and told us all what is happening thus putting all our concerns to rest. Why is this? Maybe we are supposed to come up with something that works for us.... or maybe there is not one answer....Or maybe the explanation is something that will come to mankind thousands of years from now when we are more enlightened.... Or maybe it does not matter (chew on that one for awhile...) Or maybe we are not supposed to know, if we did all spiritual seeking would end.... Here is what I think. {Of course I don't know if this is true and you don't know if what you are thinking is true either :) } I think there is something going on in the unseen all the time. It seems to me like it is some form of energy. I personally have had experiences that seem to indicate there is some form of energy working where we can't see. I am a Reiki Practitioner so I have been trained in energy movement. I have felt this energy many times, even sensing it when out in public or speaking to different people. It this energy God? That is a pretty big question. So many people have different definitions of God, where could any of us start that debate? I don't believe in the Christian version of God so FOR ME that does not work much for an explanation. If you believe in that version of God and IT IS WORKING FOR YOU and supporting and serving your life --- great. If your version of God is not working for you, get a new one!! I think that when we have our thoughts and say our statements (the affirmation) it is creating some form of energy that helps our inner self achieve what we are focusing on. I also believe that if a person has trained their intuition to be sensitive to this energy that affirmations will work much better for them (and quicker). Note: I also believe that every thought and statement sends with it energy -- even the negative ones we all have...being aware of your thoughts is a great way to achieve your goals. How do you train your intuition? Well, with an affirmation and a little of something else. But that's another blog for next time... Be well, Joan Pasay Ps. Try this affirmation if you want to open up your intuition so your affirmations will go further I am open to hearing my intuition and all that it will tell me. ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Friday, March 13, 2009 When Will I See Results From My Affirmations?Last time we talked about the chain reaction that you want to create when you start affirmingThought (the affirmation) Feelings Decisions Actions and Results Many people ask...so when will I achieve my affirmation? I'll be honest -- I don't know. Some people seem to be like magnets with the things they affirm. Others seem to take longer. Some people affirm certain things for their entire life and never achieve what they are affirming. So you need to know this -- sometime what you affirm will never happen You also need to know -- Many people will say affirmations are magic. They are not magic they simply help you get focused and spend your efforts achieving what you are focusing on (instead of running around focused on 20 unrelated things and likely achieving only a portion what you really want or nothing that you want). Affirmations also help you reprogram your inner settings. The reprogramming exercise is something a lengthy, gentle road that meanders from hear to there until you finally change what you believe to be true AND then the affirmation is achieved. For example: If you believe being wealthy is a sin AND you start saying affirmations to start moving you towards being wealthy you will likely sabotage any efforts you make to become wealthy - to avoid doing something you think is 'bad'. Until you change the notion that 'being wealthy is bad or something to be avoided' you will likely not achieve any kind of financial abundance. Another reason one might not achieve what they affirm is because they give up too soon. You can't say an affirmation five times and think you will achieve what you are affirming. Affirmations sometime takes weeks, months or even years. I personally affirmed for a 'sense of inner peace' for two years before I really felt a inner shift. What I did not realize at the time was that I had to change a whole bunch of inner beliefs before I would allow inner peace to be something I enjoyed. Two years later, and a bunch if reprogramming of what I believed to be true.....the sense of inner peace appeared. *and by the way, it has never left.... But all that brings us to another question.... Is there something else going on when a person affirms? Like what? *God intervenes.... *The Universe steps in and lends a helping hand? *Buddha moves some pieces on a chess board? or many other explanations as told by the most popular religions???? I don't know, and neither does anyone else. If someone tells you they know what is happening they are not being honest. Who knows what goes on in the unseen? Who really knows if there is an unseen? Do you want to know what I think? (just think, not know for sure....) You'll have to wait until next time, Joan Pasay PS. Try this affirmation when you want to see results faster I am open to changing the way I think so that all my beliefs serve me ************************************************************************** Joan Pasay is just one of the MoneyAffirmationsMP3.com Team, whose lives have been radically changed by the continued use of positive affirmations for money and in every area of life.

Thursday, March 12, 2009 What Happens When I Say An Affirmation?How have your money affirmations been coming along?Last time we talked about when affirmations don't work. We found out the problem is us... That ok, throughout your life you will find many things you think are no longer serving you and you will decide to change them... that is called evolving --- we all do it. So what happens when you say an affirmation? Well lots... Saying affirmations starts a chain reaction within you. Is it magic? Not really... It is more of a 'what comes in is what will come out' situation. If you say (affirm) to your impressionable 12 year old sister "You breast are flat!" 20 times a day for a month I don't think she will be entering any beauty contests. She might likely be spending a lot of time in her bedroom trying to figure out a way to look like she has some boobs. Affirmations with yourself are no different... First you have the THOUGHT Repeating this THOUGHT to yourself will make you FEEL a certain way. If the feeling is positive you are one the right track. Likely you will feel light, confident and ready for action. If you don't you have the conflict discussed in my last post - PICK A LIGHTER LEVEL AFFIRMATION!!! Don't try to change everything with one affirmation. If you are FEELING the positive emotions after saying your affirmation the affirmation is working. What happens next? You will start making DECISIONS that support your affirmation. These DECISIONS will lead to ACTIONS that will support your affirmation. After that you will see RESULTS!!! Remember the chain reaction you want begin...

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 Why Do Affirmations Sometimes Not Work?In my last post I mentioned a new affirmation you can do related to money..."I am enough. I came to this earth equipped to thrive and flourish." I mentioned that this affirmation won't work in some cases... Why? You! OK, I will explain. You are the reason why the affirmation won't work or more precisely your internal thought patterns. If your internal thoughts about money don't jive with the above affirmation your internal mind will disregard the statement and basically reject it because it conflicts with what you really think. If you think...
So, if you read this affirmation about money and feel yourself saying "fat chance, or yeah right..." you probably don't think you are equipped to create all the money you will ever need.... If this is you admit it and decide right now that this issue is something you are committed to improve and work on.. how? Well with an affirmation of course!!! "I am open to new ways of thinking about money and my relationship with money" That seems easier doesn't it? So if you can stomach this affirmation without thinking you are joking yourself use this one... "I am enough. I came to this earth equipped to thrive and flourish." If you really don't believe the above use this one.... "I am open to new ways of thinking about money and my relationship with money" So what happens with this affirmation once I say it? You'll have to wait until next time to find out... Say the affirmation to yourself just as you are falling asleep tonight and when you awake. Write the affirmation on the bathroom mirror or on your fridge. Try to say it to yourself at least 20 times per day over the next few days. Something will start to happen... Be well, Joan Pasay
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 A Money Affirmation For The RecessionAffirmations are easy to do and require a bit of practice at the beginning but after awhile they will come quite naturally to you. The best way to start is to pick an area of your life you want to see change.Let's say the area is your finances....Probably something that is on a lot of minds lately with Warren Buffet saying the US economy has fallen off a cliff... 8% unemployment...and stimulus bills being debated in the government and in the media... A great affirmation related to money is --- "I am enough. I came to this earth equipped to thrive and flourish." Uh...what the heck does that have to do with money? Money is simply an item we trade for the goods and services and we'll get into all of that in a future post. The real issue with money is having enough of it to do what you want to do with it. Sometimes people don't have the amount of money they want because they think the 'money is outside of themselves' and it has to be gotten. Yes, money will come to you because you traded it for your time (thru your job), because you lent it to someone and they pay you to use it or thru a variety of other modes. However, If you think you can't get money because you think you can't you can affirm all you want, even for years and the affirmation won't work. I forgot to mention something. Sometimes affirmations won't work. But you will have to wait until next time to find out why... Be well and try my affirmation. Joan Pasay Affirmation of the day: "I am enough. I came to this earth equipped to thrive and flourish."
What Is An Affirmation?Many people have heard of the word affirmation but few know what they really are or even more importantly how to do them. Affirmations are positive phrases that can be said to oneself to promote a certain thought process or positive self image. An example of an affirmation is* I am safe another example might be * I love myself Affirmations seem to work best when
