How to Use Affirmations and Make Them More Powerful

Personal Growth

People tend to use affirmations a lot. The problem with affirmations, because we’re an emotionally-diminished culture, they’re just saying what it is that you’re affirming. Maybe it’s real. Maybe it’s not.

If you remember back to the Stewart Smalley SNL skit . . . “I’m good enough. I’m strong enough, and dog gone it, people like me.” It’s making fun of affirmations, because you’re just saying it without any emotional intensity, and so they don’t work for a lot of people. (if you’ve never seen that, watch it here, it’s hilarious!)

An incantation is when you actually put the emotion with it, so it would have far more power. There’s a big difference with incantations when you say it with emotion. It’s not about yelling. It’s about intensity. It’s about feeling.

Can you feel the difference when you attach an emotion to your affirmation?

Let me give you an example. When I’m in a challenging moment and I just want everything to work out for me, I’m going to affirm that everything is going to go smooth and easy. “Everything is gonna go smooth and easy. Smooth and easy.”

Now, when you do it as an incantation it, it’s softer, but just as intense, with as much intention, and it’s really crazy when you put a body motion with it. I do this all the time, here’s what I want you to do: Take your hand and make a figure-eight motion, and say “smooth and easy.” Kind of do your Stevie Wonder head rock. “Smooth and easy.”

You can even just whisper it. Go slower. Smooth, easy. You can go bigger. Smooth, easy. Can you feel what shifts in your body when you put emotions and incantations to it? Develop your own incantations.

So I want you to take a look at this picture. I’ve had this picture with me, back all the way when I began doing incantations and this kind of work. What do you see in this photograph?

A great big shark is in the background. Fish, all in unison. They’re all going the same way, the same direction, pretty much all symmetric to one another.

Are they a team? do you think the shark and the school of fish are?

The shark’s not part of it. The shark is the predator. They’re the prey. Predator and prey is an interesting sentence. What this spoke to me, because I do think I’m a predator, but what do I prey on? Do I prey on fish?

I prey on old “mental software.” I prey on predators that hurt others. So what I did with this incantation is, “I am the predator. I am the protector. I am the predator. I am the protector. I am the predator. I am the protector. I am the predator. I am the protector.”

Some people furrow their brows and go, “That’s pretty weird.” Some people go, “Oh, my god. That resonates with me.” At the end of the day, find your own pictures. Find the things that mean something . . . Create the incantation.

Key Points:

  • We all have incantations; it’s unfortunate for most they are less resourceful than expected.
  • Conscious incantations create a life and reality of their own.
  • They often have their own rhythm, pattern, symmetry, and more.
  • Affirmations in and of themselves are not bad, they just do not have the power of incantations.
  • Many are uncomfortable with the emotional intensity and physiology attached to Level 10 incantations.

My Incantation before Speaking:

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE AUDIENCE, THE PARTICIPANTS, AND THEIR OUTCOMES. IT IS NOT ABOUT ME. IT IS NOT ABOUT MY EGO. I AM A CHANNEL AND VESSEL OF THE UNIVERSE. I AM HERE TO SERVE THE PARTICIPANTS AND STAFF. I NOW COMMAND MY CONSCIOUS AND OTHER THAN CONSCIOUS MIND, BODY, AND HEART TO DIRECT ME TODAY IN HELPING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO GROW AND HEAL THEIR LIVES BY GIVING ME THE STRENGTH, EMOTION, PERSUASION, HUMOR, AND INSIGHT TO ACCOMPLISH MY PURPOSE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GREAT TRUTHS OF THIS UNIVERSE!

My Incantation before Client Sessions:

IT IS ALL ABOUT MY CLIENT. IT IS NOT ABOUT ME. IT IS NOT ABOUT MY EGO. I AM A CHANNEL AND VESSEL OF THE UNIVERSE. I AM HERE TO SERVE THEM AND THEIR OUTCOMES. I NOW COMMAND MY CONSCIOUS AND OTHER THAN CONSCIOUS MIND, BODY, AND HEART TO DIRECT ME IN THIS MOMENT IN HELPING AND GUIDING THEM TO GROW AND HEAL THEIR LIFE BY GIVING ME THE STRENGTH, EMOTION, PERSUASION, HUMOR, AND INSIGHT TO ACCOMPLISH MY PURPOSE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GREAT TRUTHS OF THIS UNIVERSE!

    “Old mental software.” Love that phrase! I am working on “reinstalling” my old mental software and letting go of all that no longer serves me..I want to feel free like a bird again.
