Success Secrets – Affirmations are a Vehicle for God’s Power

Affirmations help connect us with our Higher Self - our God Power

 

December sees a surge in goal setting & planning webinars and class invitations, whether online or offline hitting our email box.

The one’s that won’t stop until you sign up. Then the next surge of offers and promises that their program will help you achieve all your dreams in the coming year.

Some of them are promoted by affiliates with stories of how they were drowning but now going with the flow. Apparently, that’s why you should enroll in a program (like yesterday) and offer their own bonuses.

There’s nothing wrong with that because we can all use good information and guidance. If an affiliate earns extra cash at year-end, then that’s good Karma.

 

Who’s the Elephant in the Room?

Except I find most of these sessions ignore or don’t address the actual elephant in the room. Or if they do, it’s done in such a light manner that the participant doesn’t note it.

It’s called Mindset.

You can have the best personal and professional development plan, the best sales and marketing plan, the best any kind of plan.

You can have all the skills it takes to make those plans work but guess what?

It’s all just writing on the paper or typing on the Word document if you don’t take care of your Inner Game.

You also need to make sure you have what it takes to create Change if required.

How to tell if you have a Mindset Issue?

You don’t need anyone to tell you the How part. You know you have an issue if:

  • You start the year on full steam and then peter out by the month end, or
  • Have a “stop-start” pattern, or
  • You’re on track and then hear about some new method or technique and run after it. You don’t think or assess if your current method or technique is actually working better for you. (BTW, that’s shiny object syndrome)

I believe Mindset is the number one problem and one of the top reasons why people don’t generate the kind of success they deserve or desire.

That’s why every year, in the second week of December, I send my subscribers tips and resources to work on their Mindset. This helps them prepare for the coming year with the promise of new beginnings.

Choosing a Theme Word for the Year brings to the fore how we want to feel and experience the year.

Knowing what we want is brought out with the Contrast Clarity exercise which I also use in my Career Needs  course.

Of course, there is a goal setting part too. But first we need to get clear about what we really want and how we’ll keep ourselves motivated.

Then and only then can we take action on a daily basis, recording our intentions, actions taken and adjust to ensure a Growth Mindset throughout the year.

Handling Mindset issues created by Society

This elephant in the room is also affected by Society.

Society can condition an individual’s intellect leading them to believe they have limited strength to achieve their purposes.

The individual’s sense of personal existence is a conditioned belief of society’s lack of awareness of the true Self-Being. This conditioning breaks the link of the individual with his Higher Self. The person believes they are the Doer and alone in this life.

In order to break free from these often-self-imposed restrictions, it is important to realize that there is a Power and Presence of God.

This is often referred to as the Source of Power, a Life Energy within each of us. When we allow it, this can guide us to do all manner of good in our life.

 

Using Affirmations to wipe out conditioned beliefs

Florence Scovel Shinn quote on affirmations

 

In essence, if you were to remove the error of your conditioned belief of your own sense of personal existence, you could use your mind and body to serve as a vehicle and channel for your God-Mind.

This requires that you must first synthesize your mind to the Mind, Presence and Perfection of God as your True Self.

You do this by practicing repetitively synthesizing affirmations to create a Oneness with the God-Power in your mind. Then you channel affirmations to enable the God-Power to flow through you and into your daily activities.

An easy synthesizing affirmation could be “I am One with the Divine Light of God’s Being within me”.

My favorite channeling affirmation which works for any faith is “God directs my footsteps and direction each day.”

 

This success secret has been known to Christ and other mystics through the ages.

The synthesizing technique uses the power of the Word to influence our conscious and subconscious thoughts. In turn, this has the power to direct and attract good and positive energy to help us to achieve our best.

The concept is clearly seen in the opening images in the Bhagavad Gita (the Celestial Song). The narration tells us about Arjuna the warrior sits in his chariot conversing with his charioteer Lord Krishna.

The Katha Upanishad, one of the four sacred texts of Hinduism throws light on this imagery which is similar to considering ourselves as God’s Vehicle.

 

The Katha Upanishad, one of the four sacred texts of Hinduism throws light on this imagery which is similar to considering ourselves as God’s Vehicle.

 

Here the Self is the master sitting within the chariot which is the human body. Understanding or Intuition is the Charioteer. The Mind is the reins, and the horses are our senses and objects of the senses or desires.

Self-mastery is being led by our Self and we are taught that the desires are superior to the senses, the mind is superior to the desires, the intuition (understanding) is superior to the mind and the Self is superior to the intuition.

Going further, the wheels of the chariot symbolize right action and effort. Perfection is the destination.

The whole experience calls on us to become an aspirant after the truth by living life through our Higher Self, using the Power of the God-Mind within.

Do you use affirmations to develop your Mindset and connect with your Higher Self? I’d love to read about it!

    What a beautiful post, Vatsala. You touched upon the key to success, which is far more important than anything else. Affirmations are such a powerful tool in re-aligning the mindset, and opening the self to its own divinity and power. Awesome post, and I really appreciated the explication of Arjuna’s chariot. Thank you!

    • Karmic Ally says:

      Thank you Reba! The Mahabharata has deeper meaning apart from the Bhagavad Gita and each time I read this epic, I find new meaning and symbolism.

  2. CK Kochis says:

    Mindset is so important! This time of the year my social media outlets are glittered with sales pitches and empty promises with courses of all sizes and programs in all price ranges to make the upcoming year the best it can be. As you mentioned, a fair number of them include affiliate links. I agree with you ~ what most of them lack is the foundation of mindset. It is nice to know that I’m not the only one who feels this way. To answer your question, “Do you use affirmations to develop your mindset?” No. I’ve never been one to repeat a certain phrase. I feel that having the need to repeat a sentence is my way of confirming that I don’t believe the words being said. It’s more important to me how I feel in the moment. Great article! You’ve inspired me to ponder my relationship with Mindset.

    • Karmic Ally says:

      Thank you for sharing my view about year end pitches and the lack of focus on Mindset, Cindy. Affirmations aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and other methods work better, like maintaining a journal or visualizations. Enjoy rediscovering your relationship with Mindset.

  3. Barb Parcells says:

    Affirmations have been a powerful tool for me over the years but this year I think I have to up my game a bit and use them more often.

    • Karmic Ally says:

      Affirmations that resonate with us are always powerful to develop our mindset, Barb. Here’s wishing you the best in 2019!

  4. Vatsala,
    I absolutely agree and am in love with your sharing of the Katha Upanishad-thank you!

  5. Leila says:

    “God directs my footsteps and direction each day.”

    I love your affirmations Vatsala.
    They help us stay in perspective.
    I go with I am loved, cherished, accepted by the Father of all lights.
    This consciousness always brings me To a Place of rest.

    • Karmic Ally says:

      Thank you Leila. And a special thank you for sharing your affirmations. They are definitely God Power ones.

Meet your coach

I believe the world would be a better place if high achieving professionals accepted setbacks and challenges to their careers as Wake Up Calls to embark on a Journey where their empowered course correcting actions create a New World Order that encompasses achieving their career aspirations & potential with authentic life balance.

If you’re a driven, passionate, talented and ambitious professional  who’s hit a speed breaker in your business or career and want to create your desired breakthrough to reclaim control of your situation, then you’ve come to the right place because we can work together on customized strategies and tactics that deliver results.

When my clients first reach out to me, they are not in a very happy place, needing clarity about themselves, their desires, chosen vocation and what will give them peace of mind. They are drawn to me for the very reasons that I highlight in Who Is Karmic Ally Coaching.

Lack of recognition at work, inability to project themselves with confidence and frustration are just some of their professional problems that are playing havoc with other areas of their life. They know they need to take radical steps to change the status quo but they also know they need support and accountability to get them their desired result.

I really get it, because I’ve experienced that dark night of the Soul. I know firsthand the outcome of getting lost in my work rationalizing decisions that were detrimental to other aspects of my life.

Like you, I’ve struggled with and won battles of stress management, corporate politics, life balance and career decisions to emerge in a place where I can confidently say that I live my desired life according to my personal Manifesto and have created a business that provides me with a platform for my desired lifestyle and self-expression for myself. I want that for you too!
