The Ultimate Secrets of Truly Effective Affirmation Techniques
by Song Chengxiang
All rights reserved
Affirmation has been used by successful people for centuries. It has helped many ordinary people achieve extraordinary results in their lives. It has turned many failures into successes. It has made many miracles happen in the history of human evolution. However, the majority of people who use affirmation find that it doesn't work. Why is this the case? What are the elements that people have missed when they use affirmation techniques? I constantly ask myself these questions, and seek for the answers. The result is, no one book gives the complete answer. Some tips given in one book work for a specific situation, but not for others. Other books give other tips that work for other situations, but not for this. I have tested and filtered out the ineffective ones, and left only what I call the ultimate effective technique secrets.
The purpose of affirmation:
Before I give you the effective techniques, I must make you understand the true purpose of affirmation. Simply stated, the purpose of affirmation is to pass a command from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind has the ability, in anything it accepts as true, to do whatever it takes to turn it into reality. The purpose of an affirmation is to pass a message to the subconscious mind, and to make it believe the message is true. So this brings us to the first element of an effective affirmation.
1. The affirmation must be believable to the subconscious mind
Most of the affirmations people use, fail at this first stage. They tend to give an unrealistic message to the subconscious mind, hoping for a positive response. If you are financially broke, and you say to yourself "I earn $100,000 per year", is this believable to your mind? If your body is totally out of shape, and you say to yourself "I am very attractive", is this believable to your mind? I doubt it.
What if you are currently broke, and you want to make $100,000 per year? What if you are out of shape, and you want to make yourself attractive? I find the best and easiest way is to use the word "I choose" in your affirmation.
Instead of saying "I earn $100,000 per year."
Say "I choose to earn $100,000 per year"
Instead of saying "I am very attractive"
Say "I choose to feel that people find me attractive"
Do you feel the difference?
2. The subconscious mind seeks proof
There is a misconception that the affirmation must be repeated thousands of times before it can be installed in the subconscious mind. This is not necessarily true. You can use the repetition method to embed your affirmation, but there is an easier way. It is, at the time you find the proof, state your affirmation. Many people stay in poverty because they associate pain with money. Whenever they spend their money, they think of their bills, loans etc. This will automatically lead to ultimate pain. It is the feeling you attach to money that makes you rich or poor.
How can we turn this to our advantage? Instead of feeling pain when spending money, what if we associate pleasure with it? Next time when you go out shopping, at the moment you take out your money or credit card, say this affirmation to yourself "I always have more than enough to spend."
See how you feel. This works because the subconscious mind sees the proof. As long as you have some money left in your pocket, this affirmation is always true, so the subconscious mind will believe it.
How about if we combine the first and second methods together and make an affirmation like this: "I choose to feel that I always have more than enough to spend." Say this at the time you spend your money. See how you feel. You don't have to repeat it thousands of times, a few times of real life proof will make your subconscious mind believe it.
3. The affirmation must trigger feelings
A fact about the subconscious mind is that it does not speak in words, you can only communicate with it through feelings, and emotions. There are two methods that you can use to trigger your feelings. The first method is to use words that involve feelings. Words like "fun, enjoyable, comfortable, delightful" will work effectively. The second method is to use imagination. Visualize that the situation stated in your affirmation has already come true. See yourself in that situation and feel the feelings.
4. The affirmation must obey the 3 P's factor.
The 3 P's are Positive, Present Tense, and Personal.
Affirmations must be stated positively. Instead of saying "I am not fat", say "I choose to stay slim". The reason for this is that before the mind knows the meaning of, "I am not fat", it must think of what fat means first. So saying that statement will inevitably lead to the feeling of being fat.
Affirmations must be in the present tense. Many books mention this. However, I only agree to some extent. If you say "I have a beautiful new car", your mind will not believe you. The reason I include this here is that once it is combined with the first technique, it will work perfectly. Now say "I choose to have a beautiful new car". Your mind will do its best to bring it into reality.
Affirmations must be personal. Your subconscious mind only works for you, not for others. If you say "Ann loves me", it will not be effective, because you have no control over Ann. Now say "I choose to feel that Ann really loves me". This time you are in control, because you can control your own feelings.
5. Personal development affirmations should be stated in the comparative
"I am confident" may not be as effective as "I am becoming more and more confident".
An even better affirmation might be "I choose to feel more and more confident".
The reason for using the comparative, is because there is no end to how much more confident you can become. Otherwise, your mind may think you are already confident enough, and it will not need to do any more work.
These 5 techniques are the most effective ones that I have found from my research on affirmations. If you can use all the 5 techniques, I guarantee your results will be amazing. Even if you only use one or two of the techniques stated here, you will find your affirmations will become far more effective.

New Larry King Transcript
Many of THE SECRET Teachers were on Larry King Live last Thursday, March 8th. Here is the transcript:
http://secretsofthesecret.com/larry_king_transcript3.htm
James Ray did his broadcast via satellite from Phoenix. I was actually in the audience at his seminar when he did his remote live with Larry. It was an exhilarating experience. 2000 people cheered when James was first connected with the master talk show host. James' Q & A with Larry was projected onto a pair of huge screens at the Arizona Biltmore while we all watched with rapt attention.
Today's technology is out of this world!
Literally.

Hale Dwoskin of THE SECRET
I received this email from one of the Teachers of THE SECRET, Hale Dwoskin. He is the author of The Sedona Method, a book about releasing negative emotions.
His premise is that by releasing these inhibiting emotions, we allow the true splendor within us to bubble forth. I've used the method on and off over the last few years and I have found it quite useful and effective. Jack Canfield is a huge proponent of the Sedona Method too.
If you'd like to listen to Hale explain more about the process, go to the link below for an in-depth interview. He tells you everything you need to know to start using the process.

Here is the text of Hale's email:
The Secret behind The Secret
by One of the 24 Official Secret Teachers and author
of The Sedona Method, Hale Dwoskin
So, by now you know that the law of attraction is a Great Secret of Life.
What is the law of attraction? Simply put, the law of attraction states that "Like attracts like."
What this universal law tells us about our own lives is that the thoughts we think, feelings we feel, words we say, and actions we take all consist of energy that attracts to it more of its own kind. That is, negative energies attract negative energies, and positive energies attract positive energies.
Yet most of us cannot control how we think, feel and behave no matter how hard we try, yet ...
We need to let go of the old in order to make room for the new.
There is a simple and effective way to take charge of the law of attraction and easily let go of the old and hold in mind what you want and attract it to you. This technique is used by over one-third of the teachers in The Secret and many of them believe The Sedona Method is the secret behind The Secret.
Letting go of the old
If we truly have over 50,000 thoughts a day, that's a lot of thoughts to try to control and make positive. Yet if we "wake up on the wrong side of the bed," we can have the same feeling the whole day coloring every thought. So it is much more effective to master our emotions than simply trying to control our thoughts.
We are creating the sum total of our thinking and feeling about any particular topic all the time, but most of thinking and feeling is below our conscious awareness in our subconscious.
In fact, 94-96% of our actions are motivated by the thoughts and feelings that are outside ofour conscious awareness and control. When you let go of your conscious feelings using The Sedona Method you empty your subconscious and you take back your control.
So, how do you use the law of attraction in your life to produce the results you want?
Letting go of your thoughts and feelings actually dissolves the negative emotional charge and allows you to easily feel the natural feelings of joy, peace, happiness, wealth, andlove that are your true nature. You can let go of anything negative and uncover the positive that is natural in each and every one of us at our core. This will quickly and dramaticallyshift your sum total thinking and feeling about your goals and dreams and allow you to put the law of attraction into full effect in your life.
No doubt about it, letting go is the secret behind The Secret.
Remember, to create what you want it is important to feel what you want and not just think it. There is no more effective way to let go of your negative emotions and feel the positive outcome of your goals than with The Sedona Method.
The Sedona Method is a simple, powerful, easy-to-learn technique that shows you how to access your natural ability to let go of any unwanted feeling or thought right in the moment.
It has been practiced by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide since 1974, including over one-third of the teachers in The Secret. It is the key to unlocking your unlimited potential to have, be or do whatever you desire to attract into your life.
Now you know the secret behind The Secret. Practice it along with The Secret and you'll uncover that which mankind has sought since the dawn of time--and the Great Secret of the Ages will truly be yours.
