Affirmations are short positive statements that are repeated on a regular basis. It's believed that positive affirmations can move the stagnant energy from the mind; the mind is then filled with thoughts that will attract positive energy. As new thoughts are formed, they become real and changes begin to take place. To benefit the most, repeat them often: upon rising, throughout the day and before retiring.
Many believe that color affirmations create a balanced and empowered mind and body. Each color — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet — is associated with the chakras. Chakras are energy centers that are aligned at different points in the body. The location of the seven chakras represent different aspects of life experience. Emotions and the ability to connect with others are reflected by the condition of each chakra.
Selecting personal affirmations takes a little time and dedication. Here are some affirmations that are very effective and a good place for everyone to start.
