Over time, what was only known by sages and monarchy, the wealthy and properous, began to be disseminated to others. These days most people have either used affirmations or know what they are.

Even today, though, few truly know the precise way to use affirmations and mantras for the purpose of manifesting of goals, dreams, and desires, whether this means peace, love, prosperity, health, etc.

Here you will find the authentic method of using affirmations so that you may create your very own.

When creating and using affirmations or personal mantras there are three main keys you want to keep in mind.

1. Create a sentence or phrase in words - that YOU would actually use - when what you are stating becomes true.

For example, most millionaires don't go out and tell everyone... "I am a millionaire!" Instead they may say, "I am financially secure, independent and free." As a millionaire you might also say, "Money just continues to flow abundantly into my life!" or my personal favorite, "I am a money magnet."

2. Be sure that you are using mantras or affirmations as a declaration of what has already been manifested or created in your life (almost like pretending it is already here).

One of the keys I discuss in my Synchronicity workshops and for that matter that has been talked about at length in the bible, Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient texts, is to repeat the phrase as if it is already here. Instead of repeating something that you don't have (and hence will continue to not have), you are repeating something with words and with every cell in your body, feeling and knowing as if you already have it. This is called the Lost of Mode of Prayer and is why some people receive the opportunities, items and experiences that they prayed for or repeated through mantras/affirmations and why others do not.

3. State your affirmation or mantra in a form that is positive. For example, I would not recommend the following: "My ulcer is getting better." Although this may accurately state the outcome you are wanting to create, you are also placing attention on ulcer.

All teachings and even science continues to prove the theory that whatever we place our attention on, we attract and therefore you want to state your desires in a positive way and avoid focusing on what you don't want. A much more effective way of stating this affirmation for health is, "My body heals very quickly and I am feeling better and better every day!" or, "All the cells of my body are working together and I FEEL FANTASTIC!".

The second one, by-the-way is much better and a client of mine has used it for almost a year with great success.

These three keys although seemingly basic, will make the difference for whether your mantra and affirmation will actually be effective.

Take some time today to create your own personal mantra and feel free to e-mail me about it if you are stuck. Affirmations are very effective when created according to these three keys and can be used when dealing with family, finances, health, social issues, emotions, material items, mental abilities, and life's path or work life.

Here is a list of some affirmations or mantras that can be very useful for the various areas of our lives. Feel free to repeat these affirmations yourself or shift the wording so that they sound like sentences you would say.

"More than $5,000.00 flows easily to me each month into my wallet/purse and into my bank account!"

"I am doing what I love and really love what I do!"

and this from a client... it is one of the best affirmations I have heard on the topic of money...

"Money is coming to me quicker than I can spend it!"

"I am feeling physically vibrant and strong!"

"I am the best at what I do and I am getting better and better."

 "I am a genius and I apply my wisdom!" - From the book The Breakthrough Experience, by Dr. John Demartini

"I have more than 30 paying coaching clients per week!"... this is for you if you are a coach, consultant or therapist. Feel free to adapt this to your particular business.

"I am whole and vibrant in all ways."
