Affirmations or Subliminal Messages?

Leading-edge scientists are now telling us what religious sages and mystics have been saying for thousands of years - that we are the creators of our own reality. You now find yourself at a point in time when science and spirituality have once again united.

Quantum physics, mystics and enlightened leaders throughout the centuries have told us that our thoughts create our reality. Are you creating yours the way you want it to be?

You may not be aware of it but the limitations that you hold so true about yourself are merely mental boundaries that you have set in place. These self imposed limiting beliefs are merely emotional and mental boundaries that you have put in place. They are the beliefs you have installed that tell you what you think you can and cannot do.

If you hold limiting beliefs about your capabilities regarding certain subjects then you will inevitably create a self-fulfilling prophesy where you hold yourself back in your attempts or even self-sabotage your own efforts. Regardless of whether this is simply your ability to play a sport, or runs much deeper affecting your career, finances and relationships it is important to identify that the root cause of your problem is your belief system. The key to achieving success in any endeavour is to understand that your belief system can be changed.

You may not realise that there is only a very small amount of people of this entire planet that are living the life of their dreams having created what they want and after deciding to live life on their terms. It is estimated to be about 2% of the worlds population! Those who tend to succeed in life and achieve those things that they what are those that hold empowering beliefs about themselves and the unlimited nature of human potential. These people have a very special relationship with the subconscious part of their minds and, whether consciously or unconsciously, are very adapt at programming it with positive messages that support their efforts.

If you were to study these people closely and take a look into their world and the way they use theyre minds you would discover that they use very positive self-talk. The words they use about the world around them and their own inner world of thought and belief supports their expanding view of themselves and their universe. Through the use of positive affirmations these successful people can literally talk themselves to success and achievement.

Affirmations based around positive statements of intent can alter your belief system to reflect whatever you want it to reflect. You must realise that your subconscious mind can not discriminate. It believes everything it is told and will do everything in its power to make that belief a reality in your life. When you realise that your subconscious mind is responsibly for almost all of your behaviour and actions then it becomes apparent why you should take steps to ensure the messages it receives about you and your world should be of a very positive nature.

The use of positive affirmations is not new. Many millions of people have used this approach to change themselves from the inside out and also mould their lives into their own vision of the world. The only requirements to be successful with affirmations are an open mind, a willingness to change and the persistence to speak your affirmations regularly with conviction and belief.

Now at the outset when you speak an affirmation that appears to contradict the reality of your situation, the subconscious mind will rebel against the statement. It will tell you the statement is a lie through your own self-talk and may even evoke strong emotions such as anger, frustration or sadness in an attempt to keep things exactly as they currently are. However after time the new affirmation will start to seep into the deeper parts of your mind and you will begin to believe it! At this point your belief system changes and you start to display actions, reactions, thoughts and emotions that correspond to your new belief. When you change how you think, feel and act you begin to move in a different that ultimately changes your entire life.

Regardless of what goal you have set for yourself using positive affirmations as a means of programming your mind is extremely powerful. As long as you keep at it and dont allow negative emotions to distract you from your daily affirming you can achieve anything you set out to achieve. This can be difficult for many people as they find the uncomfortable emotions off-putting and tend to give in to their own negativity. It is because of this that I will personally use a subliminal message rather than an affirmation. Although I still affirm my goals I rely more on modern tecnology to deliver the new belief that sheer will-power.

Through the use of subliminal programming you can bypass the critical faculties of your conscious mind and avoid the rush of negativity that often accompanies the beginning of your affirmation activities. By directly accessing your subconscious mind through the use of subliminal technology you can do other things while being presented with the subliminal messages totally unaware of the process. It is possible that you may feel some uncomfortable feelings during the transition period but all in all subliminal programming is a much easier and less intrusive route to change than using affirmations alone.
