June 5, Positive Affirmation for Joy

"I cut negative bonds of attachment to despair, depression, and desperation.
I untie the knots and the nots.
"

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-joy. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Attachments come in all shapes and sizes. Some talk to you; others are silent. Some are joyful (like happy marriages); some are painful (like unhappy divorces). "Cannots" and restraints and doubts often look like knots in the energy field. These knots can be untied. Negative bonds can be cut. Working with imagery in the energy field is powerful, and usually more effective than pondering the thing to which you are attached and the circumstances of the attachments. You can also untie the bonds to depressing history or disempowering current events.

About Your Process
This affirmation is particularly appropriate for using the power of imagery or visualization. Ask yourself, "What attachment limits my experience of joy?" Close your eyes (to minimize distraction of physical input) and ask for an image from your inner guidance. This image can come to you in any number of ways: through your vision or hearing or sensations in your physical body or intuition. If you receive information about knots and ties, work with them — untie the knots, cut the ties. This will be much more empowering than trying to tackle the thing to which you have appeared to be negatively attached (you probably already know this is true, because you have been working on this for years!) Finish it! It is time to step into joy.

June 4, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 4th, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Joy, Personal Development, Theme: Joy, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I release memories that allowed belief in pain and struggle.
The energy of these memories is now used in more empowering ways."

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-joy. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
"Memories" can be the obvious memories you remember in your conscious awareness. In addition, you hold "memories" at other levels of consciousness. Every experience leaves a mark in the energy field. Your parents and lovers and friends and associates also hold memories that you sometimes step into — sometimes as easily as you might step into cow flop on a stroll in a pasture. It is as easy to slip out of a belief in pain and struggle as to slip into a belief in pain and struggle. The way in is the way out. If you find it easy to believe in pain and struggle, guess what? It is just as easy (and a lot more fun) to believe in non-pain and non-struggle: joy and trust and peace and harmony.

About Your Process
It is not necessary to sift through and recall all the memories of pain and struggle that you are releasing this week. Figuring out "why" and "who did what" can be quite debilitating and can slow your process at the very time that you want to accelerate it. Let it go. Take it to the trash. Or drop it in the pasture. As that stuff in the pasture turns from foul excrement to nurturing fertilizer, so, too, the sticky stuff of pain is transformed into an energy that is revitalizing. Let it go from your energy field. Take one step at a time. One thought at a time. One day at a time.

About Related Articles
We make available free to the Internet community many empowering articles, including the Marshall House Articles Section, the Empowering Personal Development Articles, the Voice of Jeanie Marshall Articles, and Jeanie’s articles at EzineArticles.com. Here are suggested articles that relate to today’s principles:

  • "Say Goodbye to Struggle" encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.
  • "Moving Through Puddles" describes the "Puddle Theory of Personal Development" which helps those seeking enlightenment to move more easily through the cycles and changes of life.
  • "Pluck it for the Bucket" describes a process for releasing toxins from the energy field, such as, old emotional baggage, false beliefs, dysfunctional patterns.

Make this an empowering day!

June 3, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 3rd, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Joy, Personal Development, Theme: Joy, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I let go of everything that appears to prevent or block joy.
I cancel the picture created by the expression, ‘no pain, no gain.’"

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-joy. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
In 1991 I wrote an article that was published in the Los Angeles Whole Life Times called, "Let’s Wipe out this Expression, ‘No Pain, No Gain.’" A variation of this article appeared in the July 1991 Issue of the Marshall House Journal. My intention was to stir up some interest in eradicating this debilitating expression. My thinking of today is that replacement is a much more effective approach than eradication, which is not really possible anyway. Working together, we can find one or more replacements.

About Your Process
I encourage you to search your own repertoire of expressions that may keep you stuck in pain or struggle or other experiences of non-joy. You can cancel the negative effects of disempowering thoughts, but identifying them first is helpful. When words are combined with strong feelings and images, the impact is greatly enhanced. Use today’s affirmation, or a variation, to cancel negativity of expressions that tend to create non-joyful experiences. It is even more important to identify empowering statements, so do not spend too long on this assignment.

June 2, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 2nd, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Joy, Personal Development, Theme: Joy, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I rescind obsolete vows of struggle, sacrifice, and unworthiness.
Angels lift this heaviness.
"

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-joy. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
This is one of the variations of the "vows of limitation" affirmation. As you recognize what gets in the way of joy for you, you may find that you have created a rule or vow or limiting belief about that very thing. You can not harm angels by giving them the heaviness of outdated beliefs and vows and struggle and pain, but you can lighten your own load. Angels are here for all humanity. Someone in the human body must ask for their help because they do not interfere in human lives. They watch, fascinated and amused by acts of limitation, but they do not act without invitation. Our beckoning invites them to act in accordance with the divine.

About Your Process
I suggest you scan your life for the limiting vows or ideas that you believe, that you hold to be true. For example, do you believe there is not enough money? This is a false belief. The appearance of "not enough money" presents itself as an experience because it is a manifestation of the belief itself. The experience or "proof" shows up because of the power of the beliefs. Experiences of "not enough money" are created to demonstrate thoughts of lack. I pick the belief in "not enough money" because it is so prevalent. Perhaps you are rescinding a different vow or false belief today or this week. P.S. If you start to argue that there truly is "not enough money" you are arguing for limitations. You have a right to do this, I simply wish to mention this just in case you are inclined to step into that trap. (Incidentally, DailyAffirm explores the theme of Abundance in September.)

About Rescinding Limiting Beliefs
I have posted an article at my Web Site explaining the process of rescinding limiting beliefs. This extensive article is available in several sections. Click on the link below to read the article.

June 1, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 1st, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Joy, Personal Development, Theme: Joy, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I give myself permission to release rage and pain
easily and joyously from every level of the energy field.
"

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-joy. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Giving yourself permission (or hearing permission from others) is often the all-important catalyst for change. This affirmation and many variations of it have evolved over several years. It gives me great joy to present this version today. May it guide you in effortless and joyous releasing. You can let go of non-joy joyously.

About Your Process
Please re-state this affirmation to make it meaningful to you. The main question before changing it is: What gets in the way of your experiencing joy? If it is anger, replace rage and/or pain with the word "anger." If it is a person, put the person’s name right in the affirmation. If it is your job, name your job so that you release the resistance (and maybe even the job itself!) from your energy field. If you tinker with the phrase "easily and joyously," replace it with something else that reminds you that this is to be an effortless and enjoyable process. This affirmation really works.

About Related Articles and Book
I recommend that you write one or more of this week’s affirmation. I have developed a process which is described in the book, "Affirmations : A Pathway to Transformation" and in an article entitled, "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment." You may also enjoy reading other articles located in our Articles Section, including:

Positive Affirmations for the Week of June 1-7, Joy

June 1st, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Joy, Personal Development, Theme: Joy, positive affirmation No Comments »

Greetings in the 1st week of June with the theme of Joy at DailyAffirm, which you may want to think of as deep happiness from within. In this message, I will give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day, or simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (each service is slightly different).

About Your Over-arching Intention
If you have not already done so, please identify your over-arching intention for Joy. That is, develop a statement that guides you in the exploration and embodiment of Joy. Intention is the energy or consciousness from which actions just make an attempt. Keep it simple. You have 30 days to work with the intention and the theme, so let your statement change and deepen. Here are a few suggestions for statements of intention about the theme of Joy: *To know joy. *To resonate with the energy of joy. *To feel joy in each moment. *To stay in the consciousness of joy, regardless of the circumstances. *To be a place for joy to live.

About Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations and Joy
The key idea this week is: what gets in the way of joy? Pain, for example, tends to block joy or distract you from joy. Fears and old, stuck emotions are the opposite of joy. Resistance makes joy inaccessible. As you clear non-joy from your energy field, you become more focused on the idea and the manifestation of joy. If you desire to have a beautiful garden, you remove the weeds and clutter. It is that simple. This week, prune non-joy. Fertilize the soil and the soul with the clippings. Life is a process. And in the next cycle, the process repeats.

About Your Process in the First Week
I recommend that you write this week’s affirmations, if such a process appeals to you. I’ve developed a process which is described in the book, "Affirmations: A Pathway to Transformation" and in the article entitled, "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment." This article is posted at one of my Web site along with 40 others, http://www.mhmail.com and then click on Articles by Jeanie.

About the Affirmations in the First Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent releasing and cleansing for Joy it would be the affirmation: "I rescind obsolete vows of struggle, sacrifice, and unworthiness. Angels lift this heaviness." I find that the baggage of ancient vows and beliefs tends to hold many individuals in a consciousness of bondage. The June 2 affirmation helps to dissolve the limitations.
