Yes, it's afformations, not affirmations.

A guy by the name of Noah St John wrote a book called "The Great Little Book of Afformations" and I bought it yesterday.  http://www.successclinic.com is where you can buy the ebook.

Essentially, he talks about how much affirmations suck because most people have nega-tags/tail-enders so they are deceiving themselves while saying "I am this..." or "I am that..."  So instead, he talks about Afformations, which is simply asking yourself questions.  The subconscious mind is indifferent, in that it will answer whatever question you ask it, and it will search for evidence.  So if you ask "Why do I keep forgetting my wallet" or "Why do I feel sick all of the time?" etc. your subconscious mind will find evidence to support the question, and will reinforce that it is true for you.  In this case, these are DISempowering questions as they cause the Law of Attraction to work against you.

Afformations are simply asking your subconscious EMPOWERING questions to make new things true for you.  Lets say that you are sick and you've been asking yourself "Why do I get sick all of the time?" you simply reverse the question and make it into what you DO want.  You would ask "Why am I healthy?" or "Why do I feel great everyday?" or "Why do my family members love me so much?" or "Why do I have more money than I know what to do with?"  It's that easy.  You give yourself those questions, and your subconscious looks for proof, and it starts happening.  The Law of Attraction starts working in your favor.

That's what I got from the book, although he took way more pages to explain it.  I bought the book yesterday and I've been asking myself different questions a lot, so although I haven't been using them, this feels very VERY right.  Besides, Noah St John's work is vouched for by Joe Vitale, Jack Canfield, and some other dude in The Secret.

Try it out!  Buy the book!  I'm very excited to be posting this as I have a feeling this may be one of the most powerful techniques ever!

I got the Afformations book at the w/end too . I heard about afformations a while back and tried a few for a day or two. The I heard Noah on a showa few days ago  and got all steamed up again, enough to order one of his books and to write some of my own afformations which I have been doing each day for three whole days now. Fingers crossed for great outcomes. Today I began to include tapping with the afformations
'why are my afformations always so successful?

With afformations, you're circumventing the tail-enders so that they don't come up.  Tail-enders are what stop AFFIRMATIONS from working.  When you ask questions like this, your subconscious is looking for real world evidence to answer and reinforce WHY something is true.

Even if it is not true currently, you are reconditioning your subconscious to get you to your goal.  For instance you had a tail-ender "Your not healthy, you're a fat piece of crap" if you afform "Why am I 150 pounds?" what will happen is that you will naturally start making better eating decisions to help support your new goal.  You might "forget" to buy Cheesy-poofs next time you're at the grocery store.

Les:  I think Craig's referring to the subconscious mind's inability to (sense sarcasm? I know it's been phrased differently, but for the life of me, I can't think of it right now!)

Whether your self-statements are negative or positive, your subconscious is like an obedient, extremely literal file clerk.  It accepts your self-statements as true and highlights in your attention anything that 'backs you up'.

Perhaps affirmations can easily develop tail-enders if they're obviously refutable.  But by asking a positive question, such as "Why am I so healthy?" it circumvents the tail-ender because it's NOT a statement to be refuted (assuming of course, you're not on life-support!).  The obedient little file-clerk within will scour the files (and all incoming info) to answer your question.

I think I need to get a copy this book....!

i need one clarification please.
how do we use afformations? do we repeat it like affirmations i.e. repeat it audibly many many times during the day or do we simply ask the question mentally once in a while?
thanks.

thank you for your answer.

i understand that whatever technique one uses, it is the proactive action that finally takes one from point "a" to point "z".

but what i meant to ask was - as in affirmations which has worked very well for me, many a times, - the teachers clearly mention that one must repeat it as many times as possible during the the day and that too audibly. in fact louise hay says that 300 times a day may not be enough depending at which point you are.

however, from whatever little material that is available in the internet about afformations - it is not clear how to use it. do we use it like affirmations i.e. repeat it audibly. do we simply ask the question once in a while.  in one place, noah st. john says that carrying cards written afformations was enough for it to work for one person.

the book " the great little ........" is not available in the local market. i have asked the local bookseller to import it for me and it is going to take 6-8 weeks for the book to reach me.

however i am interested in using it immediately as it does seem to be interesting and a powerful method. i am clear about the technique i.e. how to ask the question. but what i am not clear about is how to use it.

so could you help me please.

thanks again.

 From your last post, which was to answer my query,  it seems that

                                                       EITHER
             
         1) You started this topic(thread) just for the heck of it - i.e. you started this topic without having any knowledge  about  this subject yourself. Apparently you yourself have never practised this technique so you never understood what I asked

                                                              OR

         2) In case you do know what afformations are and have practised them -  then, it seems you simply answered my query in a hurry. You probably never bothered to read what I asked. especially the last line. Therefore you kept repeating what you have said in your posts earlier - a very basic and elementary answer to someone who has never heard of afformations.

                                                              OR

     3) Probably you are not a native of an English speaking country, so you had difficulty in comprehending my query.

Either ways, as a serious seeker, I have no intention in carrying on with this discussion as no one in this forum seems to know anything about "AFFORMATIONS" at all - and I do not intend to visit this forum again. Simply a waste of time.

In case any of the visitors knows the answer to what I am asking, please do mail me the answer, I would love to interact with you.

Thank You.

HAHAHAHAHA.  radha, all I can say in response is that I am happy not to have YOUR internal dialogue... I would cry myself to sleep every night!  Lets break it down piece by piece:


You are very likely this type of person, you deceive other people into thinking that you are way cooler than you really are, so you naturally assume I'm ALSO that type of person.  That is called projection, and you're way off.


I gave very clear instructions and I simply cannot explain any further.  Ask yourself why you have certain things in your life and your subconscious will look for proof as to why you have them, and you have to take action to get above where you are.  If you are looking to afform "Why am I so happy?" go out and do things that will make you happy, because using the Law of Attraction, random coincidences will pop into your life to help reinforce your happiness.  You will find internal validation and stop seeking other's approval.

What?  Do you want motivation?  Go listen to a Tony Robbins CD and he will tell you to "Live with Passion."  You can even put those 3 words on a loop and maybe you'll accomplish something by sitting on your ass!


I'm Canadian, I speak good engrish eh.  There' noo doot aboot it!

I explained as best I could without writing my own BOOK, and I even gave you a link to find out more, so your claims of being a serious seeker are flawed.  I'm quite surprised how much time I've put into this response.

Anyways radha, best of luck to you.  I dislike having to use degrading language with another human being, but unfortunately I need to speak the language you use in your own head in order for anything to sink in.  When you're ready to transmute your anger and stop blaming me and actually want to get some value out of this forum, we'll be here.  We're not going anywhere.

Godspeed,
Craig
