The Power Of Words
It
is of vital importance to be careful of what goes into the subconscious
mind. Words and thoughts that are repeated often get stronger by
the repetitions, sink into the subconscious mind and affect the
behavior, actions and reactions of the person involved.
The
Power of Repeated Words and Thoughts
By Remez Sasson
Thinking is usually a mixture of words, sentences, mental images
and sensations. Thoughts are visitors, who visit the central station
of the mind. They come, stay a while and then disappear making space
for other thoughts. Some of these thoughts stay longer, gain power
and affect the life of the person thinking them.
It
seems that most people let thoughts connected with worries, fears,
anger or unhappiness occupy their mind most of the time. They keep
engaging their mind with inner conversation about negative situations
and actions. This inner conversation eventually affects the subconscious
mind, making it accept and take seriously the thoughts and ideas
expressed in those inner conversations.
It
is of vital importance to be careful of what goes into the subconscious
mind. Words and thoughts that are repeated often get stronger by
the repetitions, sink into the subconscious mind and affect the
behavior, actions and reactions of the person involved.
The
subconscious mind regards the words and thoughts that get lodged
inside it as expressing and describing a real situation, and therefore
endeavors to align the words and thoughts with reality. It works
diligently to make these words and thoughts a reality in the life
of the person saying or thinking them.
This
means that if you often tell yourself that it is difficult or impossible
to acquire money, the subconscious mind will accept your words and
put obstacles in your way. If you keep saying that you are rich,
it will find ways to bring you opportunities and push you towards
taking advantage of these opportunities.
The
thoughts that you express through your words shape your life. This
is often done unconsciously, as few pay attention to their thoughts
and the words they use while thinking, and let outside circumstances
and situations determine what they think about. In this case there
is no freedom. Here the outside world affects the inner world.
If
you consciously choose the thoughts, phrases and words that you
repeat in your mind, your life will start to change. You will begin
creating new situations and circumstances. You will be using the
power of affirmations.
Affirmations
are sentences that are repeated often during the day, and which
sink into the subconscious mind, thereby releasing its enormous
power to materialize the intention of the words and phrases in the
outside world. This does not mean that every word has the power
to make changes. The words have to be said with attention and with
feeling, in order to trigger the subconscious mind into action.
Affirmations
have to be phrased in positive words in order to be effective. Consider
the following two sentences:
1. I am not weak anymore.
2. I am strong and powerful.
Though both sentences seem to say the same thing in different words,
the first one is a negative sentence. It creates in the mind a mental
image of weakness. This is a wrong wording. The second sentence
awakens in the mind a mental image of strength.
It
is not enough to say an affirmation a few times, and then expect
your life to change. More than this is necessary. It is important
to affirm with attention, as well as with strong desire, faith and
persistence. It is also important to choose the right affirmation
for any specific situation. You need to feel comfortable with it;
otherwise the affirmation may not work or may bring you something
that you do not want.
Affirmations
can be used to strengthen the process of creative visualization,
and they can be used on their own. They are of special importance
for people who find it difficult to visualize. In this case they
are a substitution to creative visualization.
Instead
of repeating negative and useless words and phrases in the mind,
you can choose positive words and phrases to help you build the
life you want. By choosing your thoughts and words you exercise
control over your life.
Here
are a few affirmations:
- Day
by day I am becoming happier and more satisfied.
- With
every inhalation I am filling myself with happiness.
- Love
is filling my life now.
- The
power of the Cosmos is filling my life with love.
- A
lot of money is flowing now into my life.
- The
power of the Universal Mind is now filling my life with wealth.
- The
powerful and vital energy of the Cosmos is flowing and filling
my body and mind.
- Healing
energy is constantly filling every cell of my body.
- I
always stay calm and in control of myself, in every situation
and in all circumstances.
- I
am having a wonderful, happy and fascinating day.
