Motivation - Affirmations

Remember that words have the power to touch the Soul.
The thoughts we put into words can be used as a weapon as easily as they can be a salve that soothes the heart.

Often, our words—the ones we say to others and the ones we say to ourselves—contain the energy of our intention. We absorb this energy into our beings and its impact goes beyond hearing spoken words.

Positive affirmations can drive us to succeed, much like the kind, positive words we offer to others can motivate them. Well-chosen words can make a Soul sing. Understanding the impact of your words can help you express your ideas with purpose and grace today!

The end of the year is an excellent time to reflect on our life's journey: what has transpired during the year and what our prospects are for the New Year. The many celebrations of this season remind us of the celebration of life and the way it unfolds in such wondrous, mysterious ways. Often we see there has been a guiding hand only in retrospect after we have passed through a situation. By daily meditation and prayer we can come to understand more clearly how grace transforms our life and how ordinary events take on a transcendent importance. It is my hope that the ideas presented in these daily affirmations will help us see more of the meaning of our life's path and give us tools to cope with the challenges of the year ahead.

"How to Attract Love Through Affirmations"

Love is that ethereal experience that makes us feel
completely alive. where every sense is heightened, every
emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is transcended,
and life seems worthwhile. Love is the ultimate nourishment
of the soul.

It is said that the entire array of human needs is rooted in
our need for love. Our yearning for fame, fortune and
material things all boil down to our need to be
acknowledged, respected, admired - and above all, loved.

No truer words have been said than those that George Sand
wrote:
"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved."

The good news is, you can develop the skill to live a full
and joyful life, enhanced by love -- and experience all the
profound manifestations that love brings. Employing
positive, loving affirmations will help you develop that
skill.

Following are loving affirmations you can use to attract,
embody, give, receive and reap the rewards of love. As I've
mentioned in the previous issue of this newsletter, choose
the affirmations that feel appropriate to you -- those that
resonate with you, or strike an emotional chord. It is
important that the words feel comfortable to you and are in
line with who you are. Feel free to create one for your
specific need by substituting other words that have special
meaning to you:


* I am a radiant being filled with light and love.
* I love and accept myself exactly as I am.
* I now express love to all those I meet.
* I am a radiating center of divine love.
* Divine love is working through me now.
* I bathe in the unconditional love of my Creator, and it
radiates from me at all times.

* I love myself completely.
* Love comes to me easily and effortlessly.
* I give and receive love easily and joyfully.
* Others love me easily and joyfully.
* I now feel loved and appreciated by my parents, my friends.
* I express my love freely, knowing that as I give love, I
am instantly supplied with more.
* I radiate love to all persons and places and things.
* People are just waiting to love me, and I allow them.
* I breathe in universal love, and it radiates through every
cell in my body.
* I attract loving, beautiful people into my life.
* I always deserve love.
* I am attracting loving relationships into my life.
* I project love to everyone I meet.
* I love and approve of myself.

The last affirmation in the above list, "I love and approve
of myself," is one that Louise Hay (healer, minister, and
author of "Heal Your Body" and many other life-transforming
books) recommends.

Deep at the center of my being,
There is an infinite well of love.
I now allow this love to flow to the surface.
It fills my heart, my body, my mind,
my consciousness, my very being.
It radiates out from me in all directions
and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give,
the more I have to give,
The supply is endless.

~ Louise Hay
