ALL ONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT AFFIRMATION - By: Pieter, 28 Mar 2006 
The practice of affirmation is very ancient & includes the discipline of Sanskrit Mantra. This classic on the power & uses of affirmation explains the laws for harnessing the power of focused thought.
The first part reveals the relationship between matter/energy & mind & how one can setin motion the healing power of spirit. It also explains consciousness & matter/energy as vibratory expressions of spirit. This section on the theory of healing includes the chapters: Why Affirmations Work; Life Energy Causes the Cure; Healing Body, Mind & Soul; and, Nature of Creation. It is emphasized that thought needs soul convictionin order to yield the best results.
Part Two is titled Methods Of Practice with the chapters Technique of Affirmation (with two photographs - one demonstrating the posture for affirmation & the other for that of meditation, & Scientific Healing Affirmations, which includes specific affirmations for various physical, mental or spiritual needs. Some of the purposes/conditions for which affirmations are provided include general healing, guidance, wisdom, material success, spiritual success & eyesight, stomach, teeth, purity, curing bad habits, freedom.
There is an index, plus a short biography of the author plus a portrait. This title has beenin print for many decades & it's easy to see why - it is a very authoritative but easily understood guide to this ancient practice. Free of esoteric jargon, it explains all aspects of the discipline clearly & comprehensively.
For a very different approach to the subject, I recommend Stuart Wilde's book Affirmations. Reading both Yogananda & Wilde will tell you all you need to know about the power of affirmation & how it can improve your life.
