Healing Affirmation

"I am placing (your loved one's name) in the arms of an angel for healing and love.

I am sending the gifts of abundance, safety and joy on the wings of an angel from heaven above."

Say the above affirmation often for your loved ones or friends who want physical, emotional, mental, or situational healing. Don't forget to say the affirmation for yourself! It was given in a dream along with the picture of Maia the healing angel. You will find that story on the Dream Angel page.

My First Experience With Affirmations

I truly believe that affirmations work. The results desired may take only a short time or many months to appear depending on the individual. When I first learned about affirmations, I would say them while I took my daily walk. I walked about the neighborhood enjoying the beautiful spring flowers in the yards of my Louisville neighbors. I usually walked for about an hour. and repeated about five or six different affirmations during this time. "I am slim and beautiful," "I fully support myself," "I am strong and healthy," "I am confident in my abilities," " I am loved," were some of the affirmations. However, the affirmation I got the quickest results from was "I am the Light!" In the early spring, the sun was bright, but not really strong enough to burn during the length of time I spent walking. In spite of this, every evening I found that my face had turned red as though sun burned. There was no pain. My face returned to its normal white color by the next morning. I thought nothing of it ,because I burn very easily,until it rained.

For three days in a row, it rained for most of each day. I had to fore go my daily walk. Instead, I walked about the house picking up stuff and cleaning while saying the affirmations. On the first rainy evening I found that my face was red again and I was puzzled. On the following day I found my face was red in the evening again. Ditto on the third evening. I had not been outside and the sun had not shown at all during those three days, yet on each evening my face would be red! I stood looking at my red face in the mirror, when the answer dawned on me. I had been saying "I am the Light". To me the light was something a kin to the sun--strong and bright. It naturally followed that I would be "burned" since I am very sensitive to sun light. I looked myself in the eye and said " I now have proof that affirmations work. I will no longer be burned by saying 'I am the Light.'" I have never been burned by saying "I am the Light" since then!

The other affirmations did not appear to manifest results as quickly. My internal resistance was much stronger on the subjects of slimness and beauty, self support, a strong healthy body, self confidence, and love. I found in six months time that I was a little stronger, a little healthier, but still had a long way to go to become the strong healthy person I wanted to be. I knew the affirmations were working on the day my internal voice agreed with me when I said "I am strong and healthy." Other changes were taking place in me also, changes that others could see but I did not see at the time. Today, I am a much different person than I was back when I first learned about affirmations. I have much more confidence in myself and my abilities, I support myself better than I did, though not perfectly. I am loved fully by my second husband, and treated in a loving manner. It is true, I am still over weight, I still have hypoglycemia, but I fully believe that when I understand the lessons brought by these conditions, the lessons will end. At one point, I realized that I was the one who was making the affirmations come true. I did the work. I went on a campaign to become healthy by watching what I ate, exercising, and thinking of myself as healthy. I stopped belittling myself and began to do loving things for myself. In time I learned to love myself. I am now happily married to a wonderful man who loves me. I have worked very hard to be where I am now. I know I have farther to go, but I am no longer looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. I am making my own light! What's more, I am no longer hiding my light under a "bushel."

In the beginning, when I didn't know how to formulate my own affirmations, I relied on books. Even now, when I flip through one of my books, I will be reminded to say affirmations I have forgotten about or I will reconize a need to say other affirmations. These are some of the books that have helped me:
