Affirmations,
Why They Don't Work Many people try using affirmations to change their lives. Louise Hay has affirmations for all kinds of conditions. Maxwell Maltz, in Psycho Cybernetics, speaks about the power of affirmations to radically alter your life. Other authors keep hammering that all you have to do to change is to keep repeating positive phrases and your life becomes better. All these people are sincere, their affirmations are well written, and we do them and they don't work. Why? I wondered about this in my own life when I tried using affirmations assiduously and nothing happened. Was it only me, or do others have the same problem? From the people I've talked with, most of us do. Why? I didn't find the answer until I was well into my Hypnotherapy training and practice. Unless you are clear of the forcing functions in your subconscious mind that are causing the difficulties you are trying to correct, the affirmation falls on a deaf subconscious ear. Behavior and responses to life can be changed by positive reprogramming (affirmations). Positive reprogramming of the subconscious to change a person is nothing more than repeating affirmations. No matter how many times an affirmation is repeated, even under hypnosis when the subconscious is very receptive, it is of little or no avail in the long term if the person is not clear. In addition, to make matters worse, you cannot even reach the Self to clear it if an entity is attached to the person. Virtually all illnesses, mental and physical, originate in the subconscious. Negative subconscious programming from forcing functions (traumas) causes the body's life force energy (Chi) to block up, depriving the body's cells of this energy. This blockage, over time, results in dysfunction. By moving the conscious mind aside with hypnosis, the subconscious mind can be communicated with directly and the forcing functions identified and released. The negative programs can then be replaced with positive programs, thereby permanently removing the energy blocks and restoring health. The energy blocks result from problem issues in this life, a past life, an internal conflict, a genetic carry-over or from the attachment of foreign energies, as in Spirit Possession. If a spirit is attached to a person, no therapy will be successful until that energy is removed. An earthbound spirit brings with it the energy of its life and death. Any illness or addiction the spirit had is brought to the attached one. When the spirit leaves, whatever came with it also leaves. This may explain why so many people cannot resolve long standing illnesses and problems like excessive weight, smoking, alcohol, drugs, stress, etc., no matter how hard they try or how many wonderful affirmations they say. The problem may belong to the attached energy and not to the person. Once all entities are removed, the Self may be reached and dealt with using Regression Therapy, including Past Life Regression, Parts Therapy, or Gestalt Therapy. Once all traumas are removed, the subconscious can be effectively reprogrammed and the released difficulties will no longer reoccur. No affirmations (reprogramming) will work because the subconscious is clear and you can reach it. The subconscious mind is awesomely powerful. It can make you into anything you would like to be. Rich and famous, thin, happy or sad. It is the real us. The subconscious mind is like a computer and it operates just like one. When you buy a computer, it's worthless until it's programmed. A computer can only operate on the programming placed in it. If you change the programming, it no longer operates on the old program. It must operate on the new program. This is how our subconscious mind works. It's a computer. It functions just like an electronic one, only it's much more powerful. We program our computer through our present and past life experiences. When we were created, our computers were unprogrammed. Everyday, through every life, we add programming to our internal computer. The primary rule of our computer is this: it must make us into the type of person that it perceives us to be based on all the programming it's received. Remember that affirmations are just reprogramming of the software in your internal computer. If you can't get to the software because of an attached entity or unresolved traumas in the subconscious self, you can't do any reprogramming. Once you are clear, you can reprogram and IT MUST HAPPEN. You are changing programming and your inner mind must respond to its new program and then marvelous changes can occur in your life. Dr.
