Hey there! What's the deal with how to use affirmations? There's a mass of self-help books and material out there telling us how to improve our outlook. I first came across using affirmations with yoga after a trip to the yoga retreat centre on Clare Island way back in 2003. There I experienced mantras in combination with doing the Sun Salutations in the context of Ashtanga Yoga. It was HARD WORK! Two hours of hard exercise every day. But the sounds were amazing. And it was just the sounds. So I wondered about how to use sound for daily affirmations and got very interested in Tibetan singing bowls.
If you spend any time with these wonderful instruments it becomes clear that it's more about the vibrations and the feel of the sounds. So everything seems to work at a subliminal level. Auto-suggestion comes to mind. It reminds me of a programme of language learning called Suggestopedia used back in the cold war by the Soviets to train their spies to speak like a native quickly. In the course of my reading around the subject of self-hypnosis and subliminal messaging I've also come across some subliminal messaging software that can also help you absorb positive messages to change your life view and get you motivated. It's just the start of the journey for me but it's exciting already!
Music is such an exciting journey for me. This is a song I wrote that says it all... feel free to listen.
