A reader asked me whether it was more effective to write out affirmations or say them. The answer is it is MOST effective to do both. Write them out and then say them out loud. The process of doing affirmations is a personal preference. What I teach is the way they work most effectively for my readers and myself

The process of doing affirmations as I have stated in many of my Passport 2000 Newsletters is similar to the planting and growing process.

First Step: Soil Preparation

(This is done by forgiving everyone and everything that has ever hurt you and then forgiving yourself.) Now you have prepared the rich, fertile soil of your subconscious mind and it is ready to receive the seed.

Decide what seed you desire to plant in your beautiful Affirmation Garden. Then plant it. This process is accomplished by writing out exactly what you desire to take place in your life. I call it your Master Affirmation. Please be specific.

Third Step: Watering and Fertilizing

This process is accomplished by taking out your Master Affirmation every morning and evening and reading it over. Your subconscious mind takes in every detail and stores it for all time. You could also take a scrap of paper and write out a Short Form Affirmation which is three or four key words taken from your Master Affirmation.

I suggest you do this process three times. You may keep it, place it under your pillow at night or throw it away. When you place it under your pillow at night, your subconscious mind has all night to work on it for you.

Fourth Step: Creatively Visualizing and Enjoying the Harvest of Your Work

Simply step ahead several weeks or months and actually visualize the desired event taking place. Bring in the five senses. See it taking place, hear it, smell a rose or perfume, feel how good you feel and for taste bite into a juicy apple.

We are so excited to write to you and tell you about a game we made up and are doing thanks to you and your teaching of affirmations.

It is based on the old game, 'Bird, Animal or Fish.' This is when a person who is IT, points to another person and says the word, Bird, Animal or Fish. The person pointed to has up to 10 seconds to say the species of Bird, Animal or Fish. This has to be one that has not been said before. The person pointing counts to ten and if the name of species is not said within that time frame, that person is IT and the game carries on.

Our game is based on affirmations. I start the game using one of the categories, Love, Career, Money or Health. I point to a person and say one of those words and that person has ten seconds to say an affirmation of what he or she wants within that category.

For example when I point to a person and say ‘Money,’ he or she has to say an affirmation which says the word money before I count to ten.

For example, one could say, "I enjoy spending money, money is my friend, I enjoy money, money circulates freely in my life, etc. etc." and then they go on to their specific, personal request such as -- "I now have a new outfit, new car, etc."

It is really fun and we are learning many ways to ask for money, love, health and career.

Another example in health, they could say, "I am healthy, 100% health is mine, Health is wonderful. Health is my friend, etc. etc. and then go on to their specific, personal request such as "I now have beautiful, shiny healthy hair, straight, white beautiful teeth, clear, radiant skin, slim body, am free of pain, and so on."

When we do it in a group of ten or more people, it is most interesting to hear what people come up with and what interests various people at certain times in their lives.

I never knew that Alan thought he had ugly teeth, Jennifer thought that she was too fat and Judy was interested in public speaking until they added those requests (personal affirmations).

We find This Affirmation Game very interesting, uplifting, informative and fun!

It sure beats negative talk and gossiping about our neighbors, their clothes, spending habits, love lives, etc.

It keeps each of us focused on what we want to see take place in our lives. Not only that but now we can all affirm for specific things for one another, like that master minding that you speak about, Anne Marie.

We really feel that a ‘Thank you’ to you is in order. So Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Anne Marie!

When people are not knowledgeable about affirmations, I simply haul out your book on Affirmations and offer to lend it to them. Then I suggest they purchase one of their own to refer to.

Just wanted to let you know that your message has reached all the way to Australia!

Suzie, Jan and Sylvia

It was so delightful hearing from you. I think your game is great and it sounds like so much fun, I will have to try it here in Vancouver. Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea!

Please keep me informed as I am very interested in how this game progresses. I am anxious to hear the wonderful results that occur as a result of becoming focused and doing affirmations.

Keep up the good work. I am proud of you all!

Anne Marie

I just received a cheery hello from Stella. Do you remember Stella who challenged gals over the Internet Waves to do Affirmations to attract and have that loving, lasting, happy marriage? She still maintains she met her man through doing affirmations and calling on the help of Cupid. She still wears that special T-shirt she had made for her that reads, "Thank you Cupid."

Stella advised me that she now has three T-shirts with the words, "Thank you Cupid" printed thereon just waiting for three of her girlfriends’ affirmations to come

true. She says she has taught them to do affirmations and fully expects the shirts will be awarded any day now.

"The Phoenix News Nertwork presents Ask Anne Marie - The Affirmation Column by Anne Marie Evers

Is it more effective to write out affirmations, read them or say them? Also I have two young children and wish to know how to involve them in the affirmation process. I look forward to your answer. Thanks... Cindy

I feel the most effective way to do affirmations is to do all three, write, say and read them. First decide specifically what you desire, then write it out. Next read it over and then repeat it out loud.

Repetition is very important. To involve your children in the affirmation process, you could make up a verse, rhyme or song composed of positive affirmations. One young mother teaches her five year old daughter cute, little verses such as "I love myself. I love my body. I am important. I am happy. I love my hair. I am pretty inside and out and so on." As they sing these little verses and songs together she is teaching her daughter to appreciate and love herself at a very young age.

Another mother makes up an Affirmation Game. She writes short, positive affirmations on little index cards and places them in an Affirmation Breakfast Box. Every morning each child pulls out an affirmation, reads it and thinks about it during the day. When the children come home from school, they write a few words telling how they used the affirmation and what took place during that day. This method of writing, reading and talking about affirmations is teaching the children to think constructive thoughts, reflect on positive thinking and to observe their own actions. It also helps install a decision-making apparatus they can use for their lifetimes. This particular family has three children, ages seven, eight and ten. This exercise also teaches the children to be team players as they share their experiences with each other at the end of the day. The mother recommends this procedure to all parents as a wonderful communication tool.

Anne Marie

I have misplaced or lost my diamond ring. I am not sure where to begin looking. I am devastated because it belonged to my beloved grandmother who has passed on. Can I do an affirmation to find it? Thank for your help.

Sue

Yes, you could create an affirmation as follows, "I, (your name) deserve and now have located my diamond ring that I received from my grandmother. We are all happy to the good of all parties concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

Do this affirmation with faith and expectancy. While the affirmation cannot jump off the paper and find the diamond ring for you, it can and does lead you to search in the right places. Blow breath into your affirmation by taking action. Actively search for the ring and think of places you wore it last. Did you take it off to wash dishes or clean? If so, recall where you may have placed it for safe keeping. Enlist the help of family members to help you locate it.

You could also think where the diamond ring could be and then close your eyes and say to yourself, "Clear, Search and Retrieve." Then allow your mind to be cleared of worry and panic. Search for the information about the diamond ring that is already stored in your subconscious mind and then retrieve the memory. Good Luck in your search!

By Sandi I.M. Capobianco

I used to say, "I'll believe it when I see it" but the Angels say that when you believe it, you will see it. I have since changed my thoughts and words and say instead, "I now BELIEVE and I now see.". Since my focus has changed to first BELIEVING, many wonderful miracles happen to me on a daily basis as my Angels lovingly and anxiously work with me. I now see the Divine Hand at work in my life. Before this, I was going NOWHERE. Now I can honestly say that I am NOW-HERE, living in the moment.

Now I ask all you readers to once again take a careful look at the heading the word "NOWHERE". I'm sure many of you who are reading this article see the heading as meaning, as Webster's Dictionary cites, "Not in or at any place; not anywhere; a place or state of obscurity" a void, so to speak.

Why is it that our minds automatically shift into negative gear before we choose the positive aspect? Have we been bombarded and conditioned by such tremendously negative forces that we immediately respond to both internal and external stimuli with pessimism, thereby debilitating, crippling, and stifling our growth and evolvement?

The word "NOWHERE" represents an old concept whereby it can be interpreted either negatively, or, through choice, be regarded in a positive light to mean NOW-HERE! How much more beautiful the word sounds when we interpret it as meaning NOW-HERE BE-ing and living in the present moment. To quote Corita Kent, "Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed". Going a step further, H.L. Mencken says, "We are here and it is now. Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine".

Sometimes we speak of ourselves and our lives as going NOWHERE, when we can
uplift and empower ourselves by thinking and believing that we are all NOW-HERE, ever present, living, breathing and BE-ing in the "HERE" and "NOW".

I invite you all to pay attention to and master this great gift of speech, and to efficiently effectuate the power of your words. Often we speak without thinking, but if we slow down our thoughts it follows that our speech will slow down as well, allowing us to chose our words with care to create the desired outcome of our thinking. When we master this process,
we begin to look at our words and become discerning enough to choose them with care, and express what we truly wish to convey. The following quote from an anonymous author is appropriate at this point, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow".

NOWHERE can be seen by many as a dead-end street, but life is a journey to be enjoyed before we reach our final destination. So why not enjoy the pilgrimage by living NOW-HERE! Ursula K. Le Guin says, "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end". We can affirm this by saying, "I choose to appreciate each day of my life". All we ever really have is the present just one moment in time. That's all that counts - that's all the creator has given us. That which has come before serves to shape and form us as well as our present, but anything beyond that is anyone's guess. Remember, "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, and that's why we call
it the present".

So let us now focus on BE-ing in the present and as we are NOW-HERE, let us realise and appreciate the many gifts we have and the multitude of blessings we receive. Let us notice that today is slipping away and it is in the NOW-HERE that our true happiness lies, as we learn to develop a focus of living in life's present stream. Being NOW-HERE enables us to
draw from the present moment all the experiences and emotions readily available for our learning and BE-ing. It means being able to appreciate a sunset, taking time to observe and to listen in the silence. We must learn to "do" less and "BE" more. In BE-ing NOW-HERE, we are able to connect with the creator and to the essence of "oneness" the true essence of
life. We learn the real meaning of love, joy, peace, and harmony, abandoning ourselves and our egos to the will of the Divine just succumbing to momentary experiences that become a part of who we are and what we are becoming fully present and fully alive.

I leave you with this quote by Dan Wakefield, "Appreciation of life itself, becoming suddenly aware of the miracle of being alive, on this planet, can turn what we call ordinary life into a miracle. We come awake to such a realization when we recognize our connection to a spiritual dimension". We can thus affirm, "My life is a work of art".

AFFIRMATIONS FOR HEALING

Healing Through Affirmations, Faith, Perseverance and Positive Thinking

Anne Marie and I have been friends for over twenty-one years. We did affirmations even then, but they are not as refined as they are now. Anne Marie spent all these years writing books and fine-tuning affirmations leading to the success it is. I have written many affirmations and have received almost everything I have asked for. The Universe is abundant, no one said you couldn't ask for whatever your heart desires. By saying the affirmation properly, you will receive it if it is good for you. The most important affirmation I asked for was to heal myself.

In November 1998, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. It is a very frightening experience. Fortunately for me, I was able to phone my dear friend Anne Marie and ask for help. She told me to write out 77 times every morning and evening "I am 100% healthy," for seven days before my operation.

When the affirmation goes out in the Universe, it seems as if you are guided in what
procedure you should follow. Before my operation, I found a Reiki person who has a Master Degree. Reiki relaxes you and helps heal the body. The Therapeutic Touch and Healing Touch are all similar and very effective ways to calm the body and mind before an operation and after.

The most disturbing thing that happens to you is the mind just keeps chattering. It needs to be calm and positive which is very hard to do. As one minute you are positive and the next you are scared, negative and afraid. Reiki or Healing Touch will help calm the mind.

In Anne Marie's book she tells you to take a cup of water and write on a piece of masking tape "FEAR" and tape it to the cup. Look into water and pour out your fears into the cup. Then pour the water slowly out.

I only had time for one appointment before the operation and she had me visualize

the operation being a success. Then I planned a trip so I would have something to look forward to. It was a reward for all the pain I went through.

Anne Marie asked me to light a blue candle. The blue candle is for healing and I bought fresh flowers to enjoy their presence.

I put on a healing tape and said a prayer every night before I went to sleep. Many of my friends and family prayed for me as well.

The results from doing all this is after the operation, the Doctor told my husband he could not believe how calm I was. This is very important for the healing process.

I had to have radiation treatments for six weeks. The Doctor said I was a great little healer. This was because I affirmed every day. I prayed and I went for Reiki every week and took vitamins recommended by a Naturopathic Doctor.

It is a miracle how the body can heal itself but it needs your help. I feel I am very fortunate lady to be healthy again.

I still write my affirmation every day 77 times "I am 100% Healthy and Happy."

Thank you Anne Marie for the years of your devotion and for writing your book. Affirmations helped me at the most important time of my life.

Your Friend Always

Dear Caroline

Sometimes I think my boyfriend Fred is cheating and sometimes I KNOW in my heart that he is NOT and that he is faithful. How can I be absolutely sure? Is there some kind of test I can take?

Fran

Dear Fran:

It seems that you are very insecure. Sometimes a person can be paranoid and no matter whom they are with will be suspicious. Does this describe you? If you only feel this way with this person, then intuition is telling you that something is wrong but you are ignoring it. There is no kind of test to find out if a person is unfaithful. If Fred is cheating eventually you will find out unless you want to hire a detective or follow him yourself. I think you should trust your boyfriend unless you have hard evidence to the contrary.

Trust in a relationship is a very important ingredient. This kind of mistrust can hinder your relationship. This relationship is not very secure if you have these doubts. I would suggest you do an affirmation for the right man for you and if Fred is the right one it will happen. Do not put Fred's name in the affirmation. See Anne Marie's book on affirmations, Page 80.

Happy Hunting - Caroline Psychic & Counselor

Dear Caroline:

I broke up with Sue seven years ago. Several weeks ago, I ran into her at a bar and we ended up in bed and it was great and exciting. Now she is not returning my phone calls and I know she is getting them. I am obsessing about her. What can I do? I heard that she is moving down east in the next few weeks and I am worried that I will never see her again!

Thomas

Dear Thomas:

It is obvious that Sue does not have the same feelings as you do. I would suggest you quit phoning her as this is turning her off completely. If Sue were interested she would be returning your calls. Sue should have been polite and communicated to you how she felt about the relationship. This is not the woman for you. Do an affirmation to attract the right woman to you. See Anne Marie's book on affirmations page 80.

Affirmation For the Month of May

"I, (your name) deserve and now enjoy my life. I evolve and grow in truth, peace and happiness. As I observe the spring flowers growing, I know that I too am growing in love and joy. I surround myself with loving people. I love, respect, accept and approve of myself just the way I am. I also love, respect, accept and approve of others just the way they are. Judgment of self and others is completely absent from my life. I live and let live. I live, love and enjoy life in the present. Now is what we all have! I am joyous, peaceful, healthy and prosperous to the good of all parties concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

Does it contact the three P’s (positive, personal and present tense)?

It is to the good of all parties concerned (the safety net)?

Is there at least a 50% believable factor that it can happen?

Did you have fun?

Answer Yes, I did and I hope you did too!
