About Affirmations

[asalantu]

Dear Sir...

I've two correlated question:

1 - Spoken affirmations done in a strange language (i.e.: not the first language of speaker) ¿are as powerfull as those spoken at speaker language?; of course, given the assumption that speaker knows its meaning.

2 - Affirmations are not but a set of sounds with meaning. From a physical viewpoint sound has frequency and intensity, from a poetry viewpoint spoken words have metric and rythm, ¿metaphysical reliability (and suitability) of done affirmation has something to do with those variables with physical and poetry meaning? ¿What are the criteria related that commits with a reliable affirmation architecture?

My best regards,
Ángel

G'day,

I think affirmations are best done in ones native tongue. This is the most relaxed and natural way to do them.

But, a 2nd language will suffice so long as one is thinking in that language and not interpreting.

Do whatever is easiest and most natural.

Affirmations need to be simple and very clear. They also need a natural flow to them. Added beauty of poetry and rhyme will enhance this further, as well as making lengthy affirmations easier to remember.

Magical incantations and 'spells' often use rhyme for this purpose.

the KIS principle applies. Keep It Simple

Present tense, active, simple, clear.

"I am loved and I am worthy. I am safe and I am free. I am master of my body and ruler of my mind" is a beautiful example.

This affirmation covers all the psychological basics and is very healing.
