My Affirmations
Inspired by Abraham’s teachings
When I came across Abraham’s teaching in mid January 2006, I got so excited that I considered taking my site off the internet. But when I began working on this page I took another look at my index/first page and I was surprise to see that my belief system has not change that much as I thought it did.
The Abraham teachings affirm our well-being and help us to recognize the power of joy in achieving all that is desired in life. Jerry and Esther Hicks travel to over forty US cities each year, offering workshops where participants direct their questions to Abraham. Esther Hicks is an inspirational speaker who dialogs with a group of spiritual teachers who call themselves Abraham.
The reason I got so excited about Abraham’s teaching was, it was the basics of the best that I have came across in my search for the truth. It seemed to encompass all my experimental knowledge. The main thought seem to me then, was that, what I can envision or imagine that I have and keep that vision long enough without resistance or contradictory thought, I would have it.
In one sentence I would summarize their teaching as: On what ever I keep my attention on (desirable or undesirable) I will attract it or create it for myself; and the more feeling or emotion is associated with my object of attention the quicker I’ll get it.
After about 2 months I began to wonder how I could have more proof, confidence and faith in the Law of Attraction. Will I attract or create for myself what I keep my attention on; and that the more feeling or emotion is associated with my attention the quicker I’ll get it? And how fast the Law of Attraction, attracts what I want. I wanted to be sure. I wanted to be convinced, so I continued.
By that time, his teachings has helped me quite a bit to be more loving, more generous, more grateful, to rejoice, feel happier, open up to more possibilities for my life and I became more positive. My relationships improved greatly. I was affecting others positively and others stopped having the negative influence on me as they used to. It gave me hope of another chance to remake my life into what I would like it to be.
I’ve read a lot of their teachings that I found on the net (probably several books worth of material) and listened many times to the free recordings that they have provided on their site. I’ve compiled and recompiled for myself some of their thoughts that touched me. I’ve read and reread them, because I’ve realized that to experience what they are teaching I would need to reprogram my thinking.
Their teaching has helped me to realize that a belief is only a thought that I keep thinking, more like a habit of thought, then I will keep thinking and keep affirming what I want to believe. As I practice a thought, I will come to an expectation of it. I would like to believe the following (I am basically convinced that it is so):
That when I die I will go back to a state of being that is complete knowledge who I am and what I am doing. I could go on to experience other things or if I would want to experience certain aspect of life on earth, then I would choose an appropriate body and a place to be born in.
I believe I came into this world to experience the greatest joy and love that I could. To do that I need to have an attitude of accepting all that is as appropriate, having no resistance to anything or anyone. Respecting every person’s right to choose and do what ever they want, be it good or evil. It is possible for me to have such an attitude only if I believe that all that I experience in my life is what I give my attention to.
It seems to me that God or The Conscience of All-That-Is, is expanding its experience through everything that It can. Anything new that any person experiences is a welcomed, accepted and appreciated.
Following are some quotes that I have read from their site www.abraham-hicks.com:
“The disconnected beings are living their disconnected experience — they are not having a good time of it. While those of you, who are connected, are having a glorious life experience. The very small percentage of you, who remain connected, are the ones that are responsible for the evolution, the beneficial evolution, of your planet. All who came forth intended to be connected, they just got caught up in the habit of thought of lack.”
“There is the potential for relief (feeling better) indefinitely. In other words, we do not know of any ending point to the amount of clarity, and adventure, and joy, and Well-Being—it is an unlimited thing.”
“By paying attention to the way you feel, and then choosing thoughts that feel the very best, you are managing your own vibration, which means you are controlling your own point of attraction — which means you are creating your own reality. It’s such a wonderful thing to realize that you can create your own reality without sticking your nose in everybody else’s, and that the less attention you give to everybody else’s reality, the purer your vibration is going to be — and the more you are going to be pleased with what comes to you.”
“Enlightenment means literally aligning to the Energy of my Source. And genius is only about focusing. Law of Attraction takes care of everything else. Physical humans often want to make enlightenment about finding some process and moving through the process that has been pre-described. But true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm of the internal inspiration that is coming in response to the individual desire. Enlightenment is about allowing my Connection to the Source that is me for the fulfillment of the things that I have individually defined here in my time-space-reality. That’s as good as it gets!”
“You intended to come into these bodies
Sometimes you find yourself out there on the raw and ragged edge. (We call it the leading edge; you call it the bleeding edge) But it is what you intended when you came forth into these bodies. You said, I know how this works; I understand Universal Forces; I know about Law of Attraction; I know that I am Source Energy projecting myself forth into the physical dimension, into a physical embodiment—and I know that in that personality I will be on the leading edge of thought. I know that I, with all other physically focused Beings, will play with one another in a sea of fantastic contrast to evoke from one another new, precise, clear, leading edge desire. And I know, you said, that when that desire is born within me, that the asking (that that desire is) will summon forth unto it. And you said, Let me at it!
You also said, I know I will have a Guidance System within me that will help me modulate the amount of desire that I focus in any point in time. I can go fast; I can go slow. I’ve got my hands on the steering wheel and my foot on the throttle. I get to choose all of that. And, you said, I will use my glorious Guidance System to know, in any point in time, how well matched I am to my desire. I will be able to tell by the way I feel how much harmony I have with my own desire, or how much disharmony I have with my own desire. I will be able to feel my degree of allowing or my degree of resistance. I will be able to feel how aligned with Source Energy and with my own desire I am—or how misaligned I am.”
“ . . . it is your perspective, it is your point of attraction, that does the summoning. You get to choose all of that. If things get moving too fast, . . .” From the Quarterly Journal
I don’t think I’ve studied any teaching as intensely as Abraham’s and none has affected me so deeply in such a short time. I even began to catch myself thinking if this could be dangerous to my health. But nothing that I experienced so far has caused me or anyone anything negative, only positive.
Following are some of the distillation of their teachings that I made for myself as a reminder of what I have decided is important at present time for me. Then I decided to share if it with you. My affirmations are followed by some of my compilations of Abraham’s thoughts that had inspired them.
It seems that as I affirm something, after some time something within me does not take anymore notice of it. As if to say, “Dream on, the reality is something different”. And after that the affirmations don’t seem to affect my vibrations to attract what I affirm. What I seem to have discovered is that instead of short positive statements, a self-encouragement in a format that follows is a better path for me to things that I want. It is logical appeal to my reasoning mind to adjust its conclusions and to receive what the inner being is offering.
General Affirmations
Belief is only a thought that we keep thinking. It’s more like a habit of thought. It’s not about what’s true and untrue. It’s about what I choose to activate and turn into truth. I can choose anything and give it my attention and make it truth.
Where I stand is a very good place, because where I stand is the culmination of a whole lot of things that I’ve been wanting. My work now is to bring myself into vibrational alignment with my desire, to the positioning that is more natural to me. I know these principles work, because they have already changed my life. And I see that what ever someone empathizes, he has that.
It’s the conscious thoughts that activate my vibration. Therefore I deal with what is active in this moment. Where I am now standing is a result of thoughts and feelings that I have offered before, but where I am going is a result of my present thoughts. That is why it is so important that I feel good now, I’m going to ponder thoughts that make me feel better.
I believe I am an eternal work in progress. I have created all that I am experiencing and I am now creating what I will be experiencing, therefore as soon as I notice that my vibration is not what I desire, I harmonize it with that which I want, and then it will come to me. I smile, breathe deeply, express that all is well and getting better and allow all that I desire into my experience; such as love, joy, peace, health, prosperity and energy.
I change things for the better when I turn my attention to what feels better to me. When I control my vibration, I control everything that has anything to do with me. I walk into my future by whatever I do with my mind.
I see myself as an extension of Nonphysical Energy, connected to Core Energy. As the energy flows through my body and my mind it is energizing my desires, making them as a magnet to attract what I keep my mind on. Since belief is only a thought that I am keep thinking, more like a habit of thought, then I will keep thinking and keep affirming what I want to believe.
I will keep thinking of what I want and there by conform myself to it. As I practice a thought, I will come to an expectation of it. And when I come to an expectation of things desired, then things desired will be my life experience—it must be that way! It is the Law of Attraction at work. If I have the ability to desire it, I have the ability to achieve it—provided I align my Energy with my desire. All things are possible.
Compilations
What’s the big rush? Why not kick back a little bit; take in the perfection of where you stand? Think about where you’re going; reach for feelings, past present or future, that feel good—and enjoy who you are in your powerful and pointed now. .
How can you possibly guide your life by the standards that come from outside of you, when there are not two in your world that ask the same thing of you? You have to, once and for all; decide that you’re going to orient yourself from your Source perspective. When you make a decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good, your life will begin to become that which you knew it could be when you made the decision to come forth into this physical experience.
Belief is only a thought that you keep thinking. It’s more like a habit of thought. The thoughts that you set forth in combination with great emotion are the most powerful of your thoughts. If you have the ability to desire it, you have the ability to achieve it—provided you align your Energy with your desire. All things are possible.
Everything that you activate in your vibration becomes a truth. You can choose anything and give it your attention and make it truth. We say, a novel approach would be to pick things you like and make those true. You only change things for the better when you turn your attention to what feels better to you in the attention of it.
The thing that most people do not understand is that you get to control the way you feel, because you get to choose the thoughts you think. Your choices of action may be limited—but your choices of thought are not.
Understand that all thoughts create—and the more emotion that is present at the time that a thought is set in motion, the faster the creation will be received—and as frequent thought is given in any direction, without the hindrance of negative thought, there is certain creation, eventually.
Your thoughts are powerful creators, and your words are even more powerful than your thoughts, but your actions are more powerful than your words or your thoughts. The thoughts that you set forth in combination with great emotion are the most powerful of your thoughts.
Every thought that has ever been thought exists. And then, by Law of Attraction, those thoughts coalesce, so that there are pockets of Thought Forms. Get so good at setting your own Tone, that it doesn’t matter what the fluctuations of Energies are around you, you are always holding a steady course.
Your life is a perfect vibrational mirror: what you are living is always a perfect vibrational match to that which you are giving your attention to, which is also always a perfect vibrational match to how you’re feeling. When you are giving your attention to something, you begin, within a very short time, to vibrate as it is. By giving your attention to something, if you spend any amount of time in your observation of it, you, within a few seconds, usually 14 or 15 or 16 seconds, begin to achieve vibrational harmony with your object of attention, and once that has been achieved, it is yours. It may not manifest instantly, but it is on it’s way.
Creational Affirmations
I focus on now, because now is the only point in which we have the power to create.
I am holding myself in vibrational harmony with those things that I have identified that I’m wanting to experience.
My primary work is to be very, very, very happy and to lower my level of resistance, and then do everything I have time to do after that. I am smiling, breathing deep, following my bliss and achieving vibrational harmony with my desire. I do what feels good.
Contrasting experiences will give birth to yet another desire, and then I will turn my full attention to my new desire, using my powers of imagination and concentration. Until, by paying attention to the way I feel, I have honed this desire into a blended Energy so that it resonates through every fiber of my being, until the desire that I say with my mouth, I feel with my being. I will turn my attention to it, and I will achieve vibrational harmony with it—and I will become one with it, and the universal forces will yield it to me.
Compilations
What is, “creating by default”? It is setting into motion the creation of something that you really do not want, by giving your attention, or focus of thought, to it until it is created, and much of what you are experiencing would fall into that category. The usual response when one hears for the first time that they are the creator of their life experience — and that all that they are experiencing, without exception, is by their own doing — is, “How can that be? I would not have created this thing that I do not want.
The presence of fear always means the presence of resistance. The presence of resistance always means not allowing the Energy of desire to flow through me—always, without exception. All negative emotions mean the same thing.
“Now what in the world is it that I’m doing that is a match to this? What thoughts do I have? What feelings do I have? What is it that I’m doing that matches this?” And as soon as you ask that question. The Universe will show you every time Bingo. Your emotions are not from your physical world. They come forth from the inner world and are directly communicated to you from your Inner Being. We would respond to the guidance that you are getting right now! It’s easier to teach you to have no thought than to have pure positive thought.
The process of Deliberate Creation is twofold: It involves the thought that you project, and the corresponding feeling that comes forth. You offer the thought from your conscious, physical perspective—and your Inner Being offers you a corresponding feeling. Therefore, you are literally co-creating: You, the physical you, and you, the inner, Non-physical you.
The more decisions we make in any day the better we will feel—because in each decision there is a focusing of Energy. And that Energy is Life Force. You are the directors of Energy—and your thought is the process by which you direct. We are literally creating our future life as we direct our thoughts of this moment into the future. You are walking into the future of whatever you do with your mind. You are the creator of your reality. But you do it from your powerful now, as you anticipate into the future. Your work, now, is to get into your Virtual Reality; make yourself feel good in your dream—and then watch how quickly feel-good stuff amasses to your point of attraction.
Relationships
Abrahams teachings has so change my way of looking at the world, especially my approach and attitude to people. As a Christian I used to be manipulative, controlling and insisting that everything should be done as I saw God desired it. Now, it seems completely opposite. Whatever anyone does I am thankful to them, because they provide for me a playground to choose what I prefer. Since without contrast, that produces desire, Life Force would not be summoned.
I believe I came into this world to experience the greatest joy and love that I could. To do that I need to have an attitude of accepting all that is, as appropriate, having no resistance to anything or anyone. Respecting every person’s right to choose and do what ever they want, be it good or evil. It is possible for me to have such an attitude only if I believe that all that I experience in my life is what I give my attention to. That I am choosing my creations as I am choosing my thoughts, that all I am experience is my own creation.
Relationships Affirmations
My attitude to others: I accept you just as you are and you have complete freedom to do and be what ever you want. When you let me, I will do what ever I can to help you to enjoy life to its fullest and enjoy it with you if it is possible. Whoever and in whatever way makes you happy I will rejoice with you even if I will be left out of your life. I am what I am. You can join me or I can join you when both of us want to experience something together. You and I are free to do what ever we choose.
When I think of my dominant relationships it feels like fresh air, joy, expansion, freedom and exhilaration. I am learning to be more deliberate in my choice of vibration by directing my attention to where I feel better. I give my attention only to those aspects in my relationships that encourage me to feel better and I remember only good experiences. I’m focused only upon the positive aspects in my relationships.
Discomfort in relationships reminds me to smile, breathe deeply and give attention to what is flowing through me toward them, instead of what’s flowing through them. My attention is always on the positive energy that I and others radiate. I affirm that all is well and getting better.
Compilations
You are able to allow the Energy to flow through you—and as you allow the Energy to flow through you, then anything that you hold as your object of attention is the recipient of that beneficial Energy. If you will give more attention to what is flowing through you toward something, instead of what’s flowing through someone else toward you, things will get better right away.
Don’t get so involved in the desires or the beliefs of others that you cause confusion in your own vibration, and compromise your own alignment. Let nothing be more significant than your own alignment with your own desire.
Your joy factor will remain constant as you are continually refining your ideas of what you want, and that’s why it is so important for you to get everybody else out of the equation. Your work is not to fix them; they are not broken. Your work is to choose from among all of that which feels best to you, and fixate on it as long as it gives you pleasure and joy.
Health Affirmations
Physical discomfort reminds me to smile, breathe deeply, express that all is well and getting better and allow health to be my experience. When concentrating on deep breathing, I am focusing on something positive, feeding the cells of my body and aligning with Source Energy.
See Process #21 at Reclaiming Ones Natural State of Health The next time you feel any discomfort, stop in the middle of it and say to yourself, "This discomfort that I'm feeling is nothing more than my awareness of resistance. It's time for me to relax and breathe, relax and breathe, relax and breathe." And you can, in seconds, bring yourself back into comfort.
Compilations
How much do I practice thoughts that bring me joy, and how much do I practice thoughts that bring me pain? Physical pain is just an extension of emotion. Make up your mind that nothing is more important than how I feel now, because now is everything. Every negative emotion that exists is because there is some sense of loss of freedom somewhere in there.
Your emotions tell you everything that you will ever need to know about your relationship with your Source Energy. The Source Energy is life itself. Illness or pain is just an extension of negative emotion. The solution, every single time, to the releasing of discomfort, or pain—is the relaxation and the reaching for the feeling of relief. Dis-ease is not allowing the ease that is natural to be. If it doesn’t feel good, it’s full of resistance. Resistance is the only culprit in your physical experience.
Every Consciousness, which includes your full human form, and even the cells in your body—every Consciousness is, and must continue to be, selfishly oriented. When concentrating on deep breathing, you are focusing on something positive, and so, while feeding the cells of your body, you are also aligning with Source Energy—and every body comes alive. So the cells of your body are actually able to regenerate more powerfully when your conscious mechanism is slumbering, than when awake—unless, you are feeling good.
Any disease could be healed in a matter of days, any disease, if distraction from it could occur, and a different vibration dominate—and the healing time is about how much mix-up there is in all of that. You have the ability to come into alignment again and again and again, and if anyone in the Universe understands that, it’s the cells of your body.
Consciousness expands through the physical form. Every Consciousness is selfishly oriented. If you will allow them you will stay in your place of happiness. Allow by feeling good about something. When you hold yourself in disallowing thoughts, you are choosing vibrations that are disallowing the Source Energy to flow through you. Get really, really good at following your own heart, following your own gut feeling.
Your feeling of dissatisfaction is your biggest hindrance, and it is also the simplest one to release once you understand how it all works. It’s a whole lot of simple little things that usually don’t amount to much more than slight aggravation or slight irritation. It’s just that edgy feeling of not being in the place of fully receiving.
The solution, every single time, to the releasing of discomfort, or pain—is the relaxation and the reaching for the feeling of relief. We would encourage you to ask yourself on a regular basis, maybe hundreds of times in every day, “Am I letting it in? Your emotions tell you everything that you will ever need to know about your relationship with your Source Energy.
Someone asked us recently, "Is there any limitation to the body's ability to heal?" And we said, None, other than the belief that you hold. And he asked, "Then why aren't people growing new limbs?" And we said, Because no one believes they can.

“If you must believe in anything, believe in yourselves, in your senses, in your minds. To accept a religious creed is to accept another mind in place of your own and generally contrary to your own. When religious belief comes in brains go out” Marrila M. Ricker (1840-1920)
