There has been a lot in the media in the last few years regarding affirmations and how you can use them to make changes in your life.

An affirmation is a positive statement of fact that one makes to manifest their desired future.

Scientific Evidence

There is much evidence that these positive statements are effective in improving physical health. They tell your subconscious mind to get to work making all the systems of the body function properly.

Change Your Energy

When you change unhealthy thought patterns, and start making positive statements about your health, you change the energy that flows to your physical body from your energy source, or subconscious mind. This is turn can actually change your physical body.

Your subconscious mind cannot make rational judgments about the validity of your statements. It just takes your affirmation at face value and makes it happen. If you make positive statements about your health, they will become reality. If you make negative statements, the opposite will happen.

Here are some of our favorites that you can use to help you on your journey towards a healthier, happier life.
