Affirmations from The Power of the 

Mind to Heal

by Joan and Miroslav Borysenko

Introduction

I measure my life not in length, but in love.

Kindness and compassion are the heart of healing. My heart, immune system and hormones all respond in a positive way to the flow of compassion and connectedness I have to myself, to others, to nature and to the larger whole.

I carry my destiny inside me like a seed and come to my fullness as a co-creator of the universe.

I am fully present and alive in this moment.

I am already whole. I peel away the layers of fear to get in touch with who I really am. I live from a place of wholeness - feeling peaceful and spacious.

I stay open to love and the infinite possibilities that are unfolding in every moment.

Chapter 1

My social support and time for loving and caring relationships, is my best protection against stress.

I meditate to calm my mind, to develop insights about my responses to life and to connect with God.

I learn to perceive the events of my life in new ways so that I may experience things differently.

I am in charge of my responses to others; I refrain from giving my power away.

I focus my mind in the moment.

My life energy flows when I create or when I help another person.

I reassess my priorities and make changes in my life that are consistent with living joyfully and lovingly.

I am responsible for my attitudes about my life. I let go of regrets, resentments and critical thinking.

I open my heart to the flow of universal love and energy that is always available to me.

I return to my wholeness by healing the wounds from my past, developing authentic intimacy with others and reconnecting to the wholeness of God and nature.

I am here on earth - where I seem to be separate from others - to learn about love and compassion.

I am loving when my words, thoughts and actions encourage the potential in myself and others. Love shows in my every action.

Enhancing my physical and mental health, I let love and connection with others into my life.

I develop a network of friends with whom I can share my inner self and I accept the unconditional support of others.

Having faced my fears, I live my life in a kinder, fuller, more present way.

Chapter 4

Since chronic stress leads to increased illness, I choose to remain calm in times of stress.

I let go of past hurts and forgive others; the stress in my body is relieved.

Becoming a stress-hardy person, I see change and crisis as a challenge; I control my response to situations that I cannot change; and I am committed to values that put crisis and difficulty into a positive frame of reference.

Regardless of what goes on in my life, I maintain hope and courage; these qualities protect my immune system.

I relax and bring joyful thoughts to my mind; every cell in my body responds to joy with increased health and energy.

My mind affects my body in positive ways when I have positive thoughts; my body affects my mind in positive ways when I eat right, touch in loving ways, exercise, and breathe deeply.

I choose to use my mind and my body to enhance my life and my health.

I help my immune system function optimally when I am joyful, when I am connected to others and to nature, and when I am forgiving.

I help my body defend against bacteria, viruses and parasites by practicing unconditional love and giving and receiving support from friends.

When my brain and body die, my mind continues on. My mind is conscious awareness unlimited by time and space.

Since all information is encoded in energy waves, I sometimes receive information through my five senses and other times through intuition, ESP, dreams and visions – as I am open to these reception channels.

I am evolving from homo sapiens (person of knowledge) to homo noeticus (person of intuition) where I can perceive information unlimited by bias, belief, space or time.

Because my mind is unlimited, I develop new realities through the power of prayer, meditation, belief and good-heartedness.

I am a part of the ONE mind.

When I feel anxious, fatigued or assaulted by someone’s energy, I mentally create an egg-of-light around myself – a  cocoon of safety and privacy.

As I harness and direct the energy of my mind, I can be a healing force for myself and others.

As all atoms in the universe are always connected, I am connected to my Source and to others.

I step into the world unlimited by space and time, healing at a distance.

As I heal myself, my whole community is uplifted.

As a pray a directed or “scientific” prayer, I feel a connection to the mind of God; I see the results of the prayer already accomplished; and I give thanks.

As I pray a non-directed prayer, I pray for the highest good or the best potential to manifest.  I have a passion for the possible.

Because every thought is a prayer, I think loving and encouraging thoughts about my family, friends and co-workers.

I select medical professionals who respect me and encourage my healing.

Chapter 9

I refrain from letting my opinions blind me to obvious help from God.

I use traditional medicine, complementary approaches and prayer in treating medical challenges; I have a flexible approach to life.

I educate myself so that I can choose wisely in selecting the most effective healing techniques.

Healing is as simple as breathing as long as I stay out of nature’s way. I am in awe of the body’s capacity to heal when conditions are optimal.

Healing requires the communion and commitment of me, my doctor and the unknown Creative Spirit. I am part of the process.

I am present to myself and listen to the inner wisdom of my body when it is trying to tell me what I need. I take seriously my dreams that recur and have strong physical or emotional content.

I let go of emotional pain that blocks communication between mind, body and my conscious knowing.

Chapter 10

Knowing my body is only the house for my soul allows me to approach death with a peaceful wisdom. I see death as part of the wholeness of life.

I strive to attain a state of peace, joy, wisdom and compassion that is not dependent on outside conditions.

I do what I can to stay healthy, but refrain from making a perfect body the focus of my life. I learn and grow from illness, knowing that total healing is not always my destiny.

My illness may be a gift to others so that they may become more compassionate.

I meet my transition into the next life with peace and acceptance.

Until it is my time to leave this earth, I take responsibility for my actions, strive to become more compassionate and loving, and give service to the planet.

Chapter 11

I awaken out of the dreams of fear into the reality of Divine Love. I shift to spiritual optimism.

I create meaning from tragedy and reinvent my life on a higher, wiser, more loving level than before.

I am part of the wholeness of an unseen tapestry that constantly makes room for newness and growth. All the threads and zigzags of my life are part of the magnificent pattern.

My ability to create newness in my life comes from periods of crisis that force me to put my old behaviors and beliefs to rest and find new solutions.

I am optimistic in seeing change and chaos as a challenge – part of a goal or higher vision to expand world consciousness.

As I heal old religious beliefs, I view God as loving and merciful.

I share my feelings in times of crisis so that I may heal faster and no longer feel alone.

In times of transition, I ask for the help I need and patiently hold on and wait for the resolution.

 
Chapter 12

When faced with challenges I ask for a change in perception.

When I am in a nonproductive mindset, I become aware of the mental movies limiting my creativity, and make new choices.

When I am fearful, angry or frustrated, I am invited to change my mind. I always have a choice in what I experience. I say, “I could choose peace instead of this.”

I consciously use positive language to reinforce what I want to happen in my life, rather than the reverse. The I AM statements I make help define me.

As I am mindfully present and seek peace and love first, good things are attracted to me.

Chapter 13

I am grateful for everything that happens, and I have no complaints at all!

I am a child of the One Light, the One Mind. The wisdom of the Universe is present within me.

God is present in all things, all experiences. God is present within me. The Universe knows itself and grows itself through me.

The purpose of my life is to love. I love by letting go of judgments. Through forgiveness I find peace of mind.

Darkness and fear are the Great Awakeners. In facing my demons, I find my freedom.

I can wake up now. I can choose to overcome fear by believing in love.

I am given the circumstances I require for my awakening. Every situation, seen rightly, contains the seeds of my freedom.

I interrupt fearful mental movies and come back into the present moment. I transform old wounds into wisdom with deep breathing and letting go.

Chapter 14

As I am mindful of the moment, I sense that I draw energy from earth and sky and return that energy to the earth.

I shift gears out of worried mind to mindfulness - a spacious awareness of the moment.

In meditation I am part of something bigger, something infinitely comfortable and spacious. I avoid worry and stress as I bring my mind home to the present

My spacious mind is powerful because it reflects the wholeness of my higher Self. Creative ideas flow freely and I am astounded by what comes through me.

Mindfulness brings me fully to life. Everything I do, I do with full attention to it.

My body is restored to wholeness and health as I meditate.

In meditation I learn to sidestep the ego and its incessant judging; I accept what it is and relax into the fullness of God.

I change my perception about pain that I have; I observe how it flows away.

Chapter 15

I choose a regular schedule and time to meditate and stick to it as much as possible.

I let go of tenseness in my muscles before I begin to meditate.

I maintain a state of consciousness that is both relaxed and alert.

Meditating is a state of being, not doing. If my mind wanders I notice and don’t judge it.

I gently bring my wandering mind back to focus and awareness.

I let go of the limitations of ego and open to the unlimited mind of God.

I shift my awareness from my thoughts to the Divine Presence.

I am at peace. My heart remains open. I awaken to the light of my own true nature. I am healed and am a source of healing for all beings.

Chapter 16

I create mental images of healing in my body that facilitate the healing process.

As I imagine reaching future goals, healing images are sent to my body.

I change my mindset from helplessness and pessimism to optimism and limitless possibility.

I refrain from imaging fearful events and focus on living life creatively.

To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, I become as a little child where there is unlimited possibility.

I face my fears and transform the wounds that limit my perception into a universal sense of compassion and creativity.

In meditation I remove all limiting mindsets so that I can perceive the world freshly and enhance my health.

Chapter 17

The images I create in my mind can determine the state of my body.

My eternal immortal essence is a conduit for divine love and universal wisdom. As I access my Higher Self, I am in touch with my healing powers.

The roles I play are all parts of my wholeness.

My life is healed. I am able to give and receive love, radiate joy and experience peacefulness.

My success is not in the length of my life but in my capacity to give and receive love.

In the process of healing, I harvest the teachings from my wounds. Compassionate awareness leaves me open to the creative possibilities in all situations.

Chapter 18

I access my inner wisdom and discover the source of my emotional wounds. With love and forgiveness I heal my wounded inner child and those who wounded me. I enclose all involved with a bubble of light and send them into the universe.

My old stories and wounds are my history that I now let go so that my true creativity and power can shine forth.

I open my heart to those in my life who wounded me, but were doing the best they could based on their own wounds.

As I release the masks I wear of victim and judge, I am freed of my past.

I look behind my sub-personalities, roles I play and masks I wear to find my crown of wisdom. Behind the victim I have a compassionate heart; behind the perfectionist I have a deep appreciation for beauty and balance; behind the judge I am able to acknowledge the unique gifts of each person; behind the martyr I am a person who suffers with dignity and grace in my worthiness.

I am much greater than the sum of my wounds. In healing, I let go.

I let my wounded inner child grow up emotionally into a mature, wise adult.

I let go of my fears and am reborn into a deeper ability to love.

Chapter 19

I am aware that the masks I wear protect me from loss of love and are fear-based. I release the masks and fear, and am now confident, open-hearted and loving.

I become aware of the masks I wear as I see what upsets me. I choose a different way to look at the situation.

I now rest in the peace, love, and wisdom of my higher Self, knowing that my healing is also a healing for the world soul.

Chapter 20

Difficult circumstances and negative emotions are materials for my soul’s growth. I transform ancient hatreds into present love.

I make peace of mind my only goal and forgiveness my only function.

While resentment poisons my mind and body, forgiveness sets me free. I choose forgiveness.

As I first heal my old wounds, I am able to open my heart to others.

Anger imprisons me, stripping me of my power. I choose to learn from the experience and let go of resentments and regrets.

With the help of Holy Spirit, I see things differently; that those who wounded me most were my greatest teachers.

As I give the best in myself to others, I receive love and healing myself.

I breathe the pain of others into myself and breathe into them love, peace and compassion. I transform pain and suffering.

I feel compassion and forgiveness for myself, my loved ones, my “enemies,” and for all beings.

I practice a forgiving attitude, one of non-judgment. I transform emotional misery into peace and spiritual growth.

I pray: May all beings be happy; may all be free from suffering; may all know the beauty of their own true nature; may all beings be healed.

Chapter 21

Help from my guides/guardian angels is readily available; I have only to ask for it.

I pray for forgiveness: Master of the Universe, I hereby forgive anyone who angered or antagonized me or who sinned against me – whether against my body, my property, my honor, or anything of mine; whether he/she did so accidentally, willfully, carelessly, or purposely; whether through speech, deed, thought, or notion; whether in this transmigration or another transmigration.

I pray to the angels: In the name of God, may Michael be at my right, Gabriel at my left, Uriel before me, Raphael behind me; and above my head the Presence of God.

I imagine the perfect union of strength and love – the angelic presence that transcends gender.

I feel the safety of the presence of angels that surround, protect and support me.

I call upon Gabriel when I am blocked creatively or scared, and ask for help.

I call upon Raphael when I have lost my sense of connection to the larger whole or when I feel emotionally or physically ill, and ask for help.

I call upon Uriel when I need insight about something or guidance, and ask for help.

I call upon Michael when I feel grouchy and unloving, and ask for help.

I am never alone. I am always attended by angels and I ask for their assistance in using the full power of my mind to heal.

I am aware of the angels and God’s loving presence – the Great Star of Light – than bless me with infinite love, mercy, healing and forgiveness. I give thanks for the power of love to heal.

Help is always available from the seen and unseen worlds. It is up to me to ask for what I need, realizing that answers may come in unexpected ways.

Chapter 22

I awaken from my soul’s sleep and remember who I am; I find my way again to the source of my being.

In suffering I become alive in new ways: I see more carefully, feel more deeply, and touch myself and my world in ways I have avoided before. I am blessed.

My purpose is not to gain pleasure nor avoid pain, but rather to find meaning in my life.

All things change and there is nothing I try to hold on to. In letting go of a fear of death, I find there is nothing I can’t achieve.

Now is the only time over which I have dominion. It is the only point where time touches eternity.

If I am in a black moment, I look for the transformation. At the darkest moment comes the light.

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes my opportunity to heal.

Every moment, whether the best or the worst, has only come to pass.

I bring my life into harmony with divine purpose. I live so that all who meet me will be uplifted and blessed, and that all I serve will receive the greatest satisfaction.

I determine the success of my life by the quality of love in it. I am a radiant center of love.

I approach all of life like a meditation – centering in the breath, and opening to the peace that is my birthright.

I am grateful for all situations, as they bring me soul’s growth. Gratitude brings me into the wholeness of this moment.
