What Makes Healing Affirmations Effective and How they can Help You

 By Hafsa Reasoner

We all have the conscious mind, the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind. All these three states of consciousness have the capabilities of awareness, thinking and logical reasoning¹. The conscious mind is unique because it can direct your focus and imagine and visualize whatever it wants. The conscious mind learns by logic.

The subconscious and unconscious mind serve as a large storage room for everything that you once experienced, and your beliefs, memories, skills, all situations you have been through, all the sounds you have heard, all the things you have sensed and all the images you have seen.

The subconscious mind stores any recent memories for quick recall when needed, such as your telephone number. It also holds your daily current recurring thoughts, behavior patterns, habits, senses and feeling. The subconscious mind learns by repetitions rather than logic. The subconscious works effortlessly in retrieving its memory.

The unconscious is a long-term storage place for all repressed memories and “events” that have been installed since your birth. It stores memories that we cannot just pull out whenever we want. The memories are always there, but we cannot retrieve them voluntarily unless some special methods such as hypnosis are used, or some event triggers it.

What does your emotional healing and well-being have to do with the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind?                   

Your emotional healing has everything to do with your mind. Your emotional wounds are all in your subconscious and unconscious mind and it is your responsibility to use your conscious mind to re-program your subconscious positively in order to release the painful thoughts and memories, and simultaneously attract healing vibrations from the environment around you.

It is important to note that your subconscious mind is much more aware of your surroundings than your conscious mind (some suggest it’s where your “sixth sense” comes from) and is always switched on, even when you are asleep, however it does not follow any logic in deciding what is positive and what is negative. It really just obeys orders from your conscious mind.

Therefore basing these affirmations on what you believe in, with your aim being to re-program the subconscious, it is best to command it in terms of an existing belief system that your subconscious is already familiar with. Your subconscious already had this particular belief stored in order to protect you and help you figure out right from wrong whenever you would experience situations that require your judgment. Doing so will result into the subconscious accepting the affirmations as being the right thing for you to do, and causing it to believe that you will succeed. This is exactly the kind of positive energy that will charge your thoughts with higher vibration and in turn enable the healing energy being manifested right back to you.

Mind you, that even if you are not a spiritual or religious person, you can still use the other version of the affirmations and it shall work for you equally well. All you have to do is affirm it with your own willpower and good conscious and your subconscious will serve your wish to heal just as well. You only have to convince your subconscious that healing that person is really what you want. Then let the energy from nature do the rest for you.

Using the exact name of the person you “feel” they hurt you, will re-program the subconscious to identify that person as being safe to you, so the next time you hear their name or see them in person, you know they are healed and are no longer associated with the feeling of hurting you. In other words, by reciting these affirmations over and over you will be convincing your subconscious to think positive thoughts of healing towards that person. And as you do so, your positive thoughts’ vibration frequency effects in attracting back to you, the healing energy you are giving out to that person.

Using the phrase I AM has a psychological effect of insisting to your subconscious that you consciously want the subconscious to carry out the command you are giving. As a result, the subconscious receives the command without any objection. The phrase I AM also has a significant meaning associated with spirit, God power or the Healing Power of the Universe. It can therefore be used in any sense, psychological or spiritual/religious in order to bring forth the desired results.

Reciting these affirmations many times will train the subconscious to accept the words as its truth. Remember the subconscious learns through repetitions that is why people involved in advertising would replay a commercial as many times as possible on media in order to convince people about the message they want them to receive. The number days it takes to recite these affirmations may vary depending on the depth of your emotional wounds and the speed of recovery (meaning how quick your subconscious is accepting the message). I personally like to recite these affirmations for seven days because spiritually, I believe that it has something to do with learning, and therefore I relate it with training the subconscious mind in order to make it more effective. But remember that these affirmations can be recited for more than seven days, if you find that you still need more healing.

Not mentioning the actions they did to hurt you is very important for two reasons. First, is to keep the subconscious mind from being triggered by the whole painful memory all over again and cause it to resurface, and as a result to reject the affirmations and continuing to think negatively about the situation and the person involved. Secondly, is to prevent the world around you from picking up the words’ and thought’s vibration and causing it to manifest again and again, making you experience the same thing over and over but with different people or probably the same person. In other words, to keep you from saying or feeling “why do these kinds of bad situations always happen to me”? I know you wouldn’t want that.

Being focused while reciting the affirmations will give the subconscious a sense of urgency in accepting what is told because the signal of the message broadcasted by the conscious mind becomes so strong that it causes the subconscious to prioritize it. If you do not have time to sit and focus and recite these affirmations, then you shouldn’t have to worry because it will work for you. The subconscious, unlike the conscious mind can perform trillions of tasks at the same time. Reciting them with less focus will only relatively delay the subconscious in being reprogrammed with the facts of the affirmations, but it works over time.
The most important thing is that affirmations should be directed to as many people as possible. This will make them stronger, intense and the universe will respond by redirecting them back to you faster and as intensely.

 

Therefore, having learned how healing affirmations can be made effectively, you can either use the healing affirmations from this blog or adopt the method to formulate any healing affirmations that work best for you.

Goodluck to your healing.
