Louise Hay’s Affirmations

An affirmation is a positive statement for self-suggestion. It’s a way to reprogram the subconscious, effective when used daily over a long period.

It’s known that ancient people were aware of the benefits of such affirmations and used them. Many ancient mantras, still in use today, are based on this principle.

In our country, the concept of affirmations became known through the books of American psychologist Louise Hay. Having endured severe life challenges, including cancer, she experienced the magic of affirmations herself.

Louise Hay created her own affirmations to solve the problems she encountered in her life. Hence, her collection of affirmations addresses many aspects of life. Her accumulated knowledge and experience made her a world-renowned author in psychosomatics and positive psychology.

Louise Hay’s personal philosophy is summarized in the idea, “What we give, we receive.” She believes that people are responsible for everything in their lives because each thought and feeling creates their future. Positive thoughts lead to a joyful future, while negative thoughts lead to a corresponding life.

Hay points out that it’s senseless for people, being the source of events in their lives, to waste energy blaming others for their (perceived) unfortunate lives.

However, she suggests a solution: by changing internal negativity to positivity, one can start to see positivity in the world around them.

Thus, the main idea of her books is that everyone can change their life through their thoughts.

Next, we will present some of the main groups of ready-made affirmations by Louise Hay, which can be useful for other people.

Rules for Working with Affirmations

To make affirmations work, you must follow certain rules. These include believing in the affirmation, repeating it multiple times and preferably aloud, making it specific and personal, avoiding negative words, keeping it concise, accepting that some affirmations might not resonate with you, ensuring the emotion matches the words, using positive and emotive words, stating them in the present tense, and not overestimating their power without accompanying actions.

How to Create Personal Affirmations

While ready-made affirmations can be useful, creating personal affirmations becomes necessary when you feel that existing ones do not resonate with you. This is understandable as others’ affirmations were created by them for their own purposes, carrying the energy and intent of their creators.

Some points for creating affirmations include ensuring they are positive, realistic, personal, and bring joy and positive emotions when spoken.

The frequency and timing of repeating positive affirmations depend on the individual. Some may find it sufficient to repeat them in the morning, during the day, or in the evening, while others may need more frequent reinforcement.

Affirmations and Psychosomatics

Affirmations impact the subconscious through repeated reinforcement, aligning it with a specific outcome related to self-suggestion. By giving a positive directive, a person can aid their own healing from any illness. There are known cases in medicine where complete healing, even from diseases like cancer, has been achieved through affirmations. It’s noted that patients using affirmations experience milder symptoms and quicker recovery.

Regular repetition of positive affirmations throughout the day fosters a positive outlook, instills belief in one’s abilities, and helps achieve desired outcomes.

Another benefit of using affirmations is countering negative programming absorbed since childhood, which often hinders adult life. Properly chosen affirmations can help resolve this issue.

The author wishes readers love and joy in their hearts, consciousness, and most importantly, in their subconscious, as the rest will follow.
