Greetings! In this message, I’ll 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 or alters by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (check the options on the navigation bar).

Remind yourself of your over-arching intention for joy. Your statement serves as an umbrella over the whole month’s exploration of joy. It is especially helpful to re-visit your over-arching intention as you work and play with this week’s Being and Intending Affirmations.

About Being/Intending Affirmations and Joy
"To be" and "to intend" are companion ideas, associated also with mission and purpose. It is from your being and your intending that you create and act. Next week, DailyAffirm focuses on doing, acting, claiming, and manifesting. This week, though, stay focused on the consciousness from which you act. Many people choose to go on spiritual retreats or vision quests or to engage in dream journaling or other kinds of inward exploration in order to understand more fully who they are or who they want to become. I advocate that you choose to (under)stand right where are.

About your Process in the Third Week
So, here’s the big question of the week: what is your life mission? If your immediate response is your job or career or role, my next question is: what is your life mission? Or I might vary the question and ask: What is your purpose for being on the planet? Or, who are you here to be? You are here in the context of a larger whole. You are here to do, certainly. But, who ARE you? Who are YOU? What is your higher purpose? If you are uncertain, let yourself accept the uncertainty. And return to the questions, who are you? What is your life mission? (Please note: answers to such questions need not be the same each time. As you keep asking yourself these questions, you will become more and more comfortable with a grand variety and richness of answers.) So, who are you? What is your life mission?

About the Affirmations in the Third Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for Joy it would be "I give my attention to joy so that it expands." The Universe is ever-expanding and this expansion is based on the focus of your (and our collective) attention.

Positive Affirmations for the Week of May 15-21, Trust

May 15th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Trust, Week 3, Weekly Messages No Comments »

Greetings! In this message, I’ll 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 (check the options at the bottom of the navigation bar).

Remind yourself of your over-arching intention for trust.

About Being/Intending Affirmations and Trust
"To be or not to be. That is the question." These are famous words from Shakespeare’s "Hamlet," of course. Trusting that it is worthwhile to be alive in physical form is an issue that many persons face at some time in their lives. In the deepest time of non-trust, a tiny spark of light may be all that is needed to kindle your inner trust. Or you may be that spark of light for another who is ready to awaken from the darkness. This is a time of awakening! You have your own style of awakening — with a yawn or a grumble or a leap or one sleepy eye slowly opening. You must awaken in order to be who you are here on earth to be. Your acquired habits of do, do, do can put you firmly in the do-do. Activities that keep you from being authentic and fulfilled can be refocused with clear intention.

About your Process in the Third Week
This week, go deeper into the idea of your intention of trust. You can dabble on the surface and think about whether you trust this person or that idea or a decision you have made. Or you can go deeper and live with the ideas that relate to self-trust. Or you can go still deeper and explore Trust in Self and the Divine. I challenge you to go to the core of Trust. If you were to live with the definitive question related to Trust and Being/Intending, it is "Who am I?" This is a question you can ask yourself hundreds of times a day, yielding a different and viable answer to each iteration.

About the Affirmations in the Third Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for Trust it would be the affirmation for May 19: "I remember to trust. I trust myself. I remember who I Am." These three sentences help us to connect more deeply with the true meaning of trust and our personal mission.

Make this a meaningful week!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of April 15-21, Clarity

April 16th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Clarity, Week 3, Weekly Messages No Comments »

Greetings! In this message, I’ll 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 (check the options at the bottom of the navigation bar).

About Being/Intending Affirmations and Clarity
As you know, I recommend at the beginning of each month that you create or identify an over-arching intention for the theme. Here in the middle of the month, we explore intention more deeply. "To intend" and "to be" are similar, but not precisely the same — which is why I slash them. It is wise to explore intention and being before acting and claiming and more meaningful to do so after emptying (Releasing/Cleansing) and opening to be filled anew (Receiving/Accepting). However, there is no wrong time to tap into your intention or deepen your relationship to it.

About your Process in the Third Week
I have found that folks who really want to learn about intention are greatly supported by writing statements of intention for simple, ordinary events in their lives. Say, for example, you have a meeting next Thursday which you believe may be challenging. In the past, this group has had tedious meetings with little accomplished. So, you set a high intention for the meeting and write it down: "To experience open communication and clear direction for the highest good for all." Watch your meeting change! Please note: setting high intention is not a technique, but a powerful principle. Writing down the high intention is a technique. Please also note: you may want to establish goals and outcomes for events in addition to your high intention. The intention is the consciousness in which you are present at the meeting; goals and outcomes are related to the actions of the meeting.

I find that folks who really want to learn about being are greatly supported by various forms of meditation and relaxation, depending on their life style. Many like to go to the mountain top or the deep woods for solitude or to listen deeply to their inner guidance. These are great approaches and it is important to be and to intend in the midst of an ordinary day.

About the Affirmations in the Third Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for clarity it would be "My intention is to be clear for the highest good of all." It is clear and straightforward.

Be this week!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of March 15-21, Balance

March 15th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Balance, Week 3, Weekly Messages No Comments »

Greetings! This message is 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 (check the options at the bottom of the navigation bar).

Remind yourself of your over-arching intention for balance.

About Being/Intending Affirmations and Balance
This week’s affirmations support balance in your life by going into the consciousness of your intention. “To be or not to be” is a much-quoted line from one of our greatest writers. You must know who you are and know who you are becoming. It is also helpful to know who you are not and who you are not becoming when that leads you to clarify who you are. In any given moment you may feel that you are unbalanced or dissonant or indecisive, which is the perfect time to affirm your intention to become balanced, to become balance.

About your Process in the Third Week
What is your intention for balance? What is your intention for this week with respect to balance? What is the most empowering thing you can do/say about the aspect of your life that most challenges you? Who are you? Who are you becoming? As you ponder these questions, consider also how you feel about the idea of balancing your life from the inside to the outside. As you let go of others’ perceptions and opinions, consider the power of the balance of One, a balance which transcends duality.

About the Affirmations in the Third Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for Balance it would be the affirmation for March 20: “I understand the meaning of balance. I know that balance transcends duality.” Duality on the earth plane is a method of evolving. This week, transcend duality so that you feel whole right here and right now.

Make this a balanced week!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of February 15-21, Love

February 15th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Love, Week 3, Weekly Messages No Comments »

Greetings! This message is an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process with Being/Intending Affirmations. 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 (see navigation bar).

Remind yourself of your over-arching intention for love.

About Being/Intending Affirmations and Love
The affirmations this week are designed to support you in understanding love more deeply on all levels, including the physical, the mental, the emotional, and the spiritual levels. Open to clarity of purpose and intention so that you can comprehend and embrace love in all aspects of life. Affirm self-loving thoughts and positive regard for others. Remember the essence of who you are. You are love.

About your Process in the Third Week
Getting in touch with the deeper aspects of this thing called “love” — or more specifically, “unconditional love” — is your task this week. Here are a few questions to guide you through this week’s exploration: How does unconditional love manifest in your life? How do you see yourself as a lover of life? What is the picture you might draw to indicate that you love yourself? …… that you love others? …… that you love a specific other? …… that you love and appreciate life? What do you need to know about love or about yourself with respect to love?

About the Affirmations in the Third Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for Love, it would be the affirmation for February 18: “My mission is to bring unconditional love and positive regard to the world.” If only a small percentage of those in your world saw its individual mission as this, your life would be transformed in an instant to a place in which you can observe that love powers everything, with everyone in your circle conscious of love’s power.

Make this a self-loving week!
