DailyAffirm

Today is an opportunity for freedom.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
Today, as every day, offers many opportunities. Every event is an opportunity. Freedom can be woven into each conversation, each action, each breath. Let your minutes fill with freedom. Let freedom express itself through you. As you come to the end of the month that is dedicated to freedom, acknowledge that the energy of freedom is with you at all times. Remind yourself to tap into it and keep it active in your life.

About Your Process
If freedom comes to your door today (perhaps in disguise or costume), would you recognize it? And what would it say to you? These are interesting questions for you to explore, especially if you still feel in bondage or limited in a particular part of your life. You want to be certain you can recognize freedom even when you are not reminded each day with the affirmations. Do not leave freedom behind with the passing of the month. Make a contract with freedom so that you are clear how it is to be in your life, how it is to manifest as time unfolds.

About Guided Meditations
Experience Jeanie Marshall’s voice in empowering guided meditations. Her soothing voice prompts you to listen to your own inner wisdom. She guides with words, yet it is her voice that makes these guided meditations such a powerful relaxation technique. Guided meditation is one empowerment practice that you can use on its own or to enhance other strategies. You’ll feel a sense of empowerment, a greater awareness of well-being, and a deep relaxation.

About the New Month
Tomorrow begins a new month and a new topic. I encourage you to develop an over-arching intention for the new topic. I have found that November’s topic is the most likely one of all twelve to challenge most subscribers. Your level of consciousness determines the relationship you have to each topic, especially this one. By “surrender” I mean to surrender to your higher consciousness; I mean to surrender to your inner knowingness. I mean to surrender resistance. You will further define surrender for yourself as part of the process. During the first week, Dailyaffirm focuses on Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations.

Make this a freeing day!

I integrate freedom into every aspect of life.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
Often you may feel free in one part or even several parts of your life, yet not free in another part. This affirmation assists you in letting your experience of freedom spill into every aspect. You can more easily integrate when you stop or slow down, when you rest or sleep, when you relax or play. It is more difficult to integrate when you are still collecting more data, acting, or speaking. So, let go of attempting to learn more about freedom; instead, allow freedom to become an integral part of your life. Live freedom. Become freedom. Be free.

About Your Process
You may find you want to adjust the wording to be specific about which area of your life you want to integrate freedom. These last days of October are an ideal time to re-visit your over-arching intention for freedom. Reflect on your personal learnings through this month. Find your own preferred tempo and processes for integrating. Toss out the extraneous. Keep the essential. Deepen the experiences.

Yes to Freedom!

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
Simply yes. Yes to freedom. When you keep your attention on what you desire, less attention or energy is given to those things that you do not desire. While you are evolving your awareness, you might from time to time say “no” to non-freedom, however, as your consciousness continues to lift, saying no becomes less and less necessary because more of what you want will be coming to you. With millions of answers and possibilities, your job is to recognize the situations that are good for you, the ones you want to say “yes” to. It is sometimes interesting to know what others find helpful, what others say “yes” to, yet you are responsible for creating your experiences through the thoughts and ideas to which you personally say “yes.”

About Your Process
So, to what do you say “yes” today? Will you say “yes” to freedom? Consider the many yeses that lead you to true freedom. Every decision is a choice. Do not fall victim to the erroneous and currently-popular belief that “I am supposed to say ‘yes’ to everything that comes to me.” Instead, know that you are to discern whether those things that come to you are the things that you desire, and say yes to them. You will know those things by their resonance. You have a particular resonance. Freedom has a particular resonance. Every thing has a resonance. Do you know when to say “yes, this is for me”? When you truly know this, saying “no” is rarely necessary because your attention is mainly on those things to which you have already said yes.

I act with purposeful awareness of freedom.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
The idea of “purposeful awareness” is deep. The purpose of all the affirmations of the DailyAffirm Process so far this month is to assist you in embodying today’s affirmation. Breathe deeply and act with purposeful awareness of freedom today. Let the ideas of true freedom become a part of every act you take. You no longer need to “wish” or “hope” for freedom — act in freedom. Act while being aware of freedom. Act consciously. This is Freedom.

About Your Process
Do you ever feel unconscious? Of course there are times that you do things so automatically that you are not aware when doing them nor remember afterwards that you did them. For certain activities this may be a blessing. However, when you are practicing to be aware, it is important that you be aware of the little actions as well as the big ones. You can practice by being aware of brushing your teeth: taste the toothpaste, feel the bristles against your teeth and gums, look at yourself in the mirror (It’s o.k. to say, “Hi, beautiful!”), notice every nuance of this familiar act. As you continue to practice awareness with everyday acts, it is easier to become aware of freedom.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
For the next three days, we work with affirmations that assist in integrating and embodying the idea of freedom. Today is a good day to check for a final action you might want to take to demonstrate freedom. A re-visit of your over-arching intention for freedom also allows you to integrate more fully all that you have experienced this month.

Make this a watchful day!

I let every act be an act of freedom.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
To take full advantage of this affirmation, associate every action — words spoken, ideas thought, deeds done, changes made — with freedom. A powerful alternative statement is: Every act is an act of freedom. You can associate freedom with choosing to make a telephone call or choosing to not make a telephone call. You can claim that eating that hot fudge sundae is as much an act of freedom as not eating that hot fudge sundae. Declare you are free; give your attention to freedom; allow appearances of bondage to drop away. Persevere. Consciousness can shift instantly (as in that instantaneous aha or eureka!); however, do not look for quick fixes and shallow manipulation. Continue to focus on or to return your focus to freedom so that curiosity about non-freedom diminishes.

About Your Process
As you sensitize yourself to freedom — using these affirmations as well as other approaches you find effective — you also assist others in being more aware of freedom. While it is not your job to change anyone (you cannot, anyway!), your presence can stimulate change in others. You are a role model for others, no matter what your actions. What do your actions say about you? What do you say about your actions?

About a Related Resource
Masters of Consciousness, by Katheryn Hoban, is a practical, easy to read guidebook for conscious living. It helps you to manifest everything that you need in your life. This guidebook covers your spiritual, emotion, physical development and the expansion of your consciousness and that of the planet. You can go back to it again and again. I’ve become acquainted with Katheryn, a yoga teacher who is referred to by her students lovingly as “Yoga Kat.” This wonderful book is in keeping with the principles that I discuss. You will be treated to a well-designed set of self-discovery tools.

I draw a circle of freedom around me.
I fill the circle with love and light.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
The concept expressed in today’s affirmation is truly a favorite of mine. It is so simple: draw a circle! And fill it with love and light. The circle is a symbol which has no beginning and no end. A sphere is also a circle which simply defines your space. In this world of a vast array of thoughts and experiences, it is helpful to be clear about what you want to entertain within your own circle. As your circle becomes more and more expanded with love and light, definitions and circles become clearer.

About Your Process
As you near the end of the affirmations that support you in claiming your freedom, consider what else you need to know or do or discover to be truly free. Perhaps you wish to explore the boundaries in your life: are they filled with love and light or with some other substance? Are they impermeable, semi-permeable or transparent? Perhaps you want to explore a particular situation in which you believe you need to be freed: draw a circle around that situation and fill it with love and light. Remember also that if you find any affirmation in DailyAffirm to be unacceptable to you, rewrite it! This one, for example, you might wish to re-write as “I encircle myself with love and light.”

I manifest all things in association with freedom.
I am the creator of my experiences.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
In your “acting/claiming” mode, remind yourself that freedom is a key component to your manifestations. We are all One. The principles that operate for each, operate for all. One of the “actions” DailyAffirm works with repeatedly is using thoughts and language to make change. If you experience something you do not desire, you can create a new experience by changing the thoughts that have your attention, which are also reflected in the words you use to describe your conditions. Of course, you are “free” to think about whatever you desire; however, if you think about how “bad” everything is, you simply create more that you experience as “bad.”

About Your Process
Each time the telephone rings today, stop and remind yourself of the day’s affirmation. This is a grand association! While feeling that you are claiming your own power and freedom, you also hold an intention for your caller to be in his or her power and freedom. Monitor your thoughts so that you create the freedom that you deserve. If you find yourself thinking how difficult something is, stop! (Remember, stop is an action!) Think about the situation in a more positive way, talk about it more positively, and act in alignment with the thoughts and words. You will feel better and your situation will change. Let go of trying to manipulate the situation, as that is fruitless, except to create more of the same.

I claim my freedom. Today, I claim my power.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Sometimes you may think you have claimed your power and freedom, yet you feel disempowered and restricted. This is usually because so many models of “claiming” and “power” are about grabbing something from someone else. Being aggressive and rude is not freedom, though surely you are free to be aggressive and rude. Sometimes you may believe you need to be aggressive to be “free from” something which is destructive. Aggressive actions in such situations can propel you. However, once you are “freed from” the disempowering situation, you must let go of the aggressive or greedy or abrasive energy that has propelled you to take a stand or create boundaries. Once “freed from” a bondage, you are not truly free until you turn your attention to something pleasing to propel you.

About Your Process
Today is the day to claim your freedom and your power. If you feel timid about this, then find ways to prepare yourself for the day when you are ready. Focus on freedom generally or on a specific aspect of freedom. With the same clarity and succinctness of today’s affirmation, embrace your freedom and your power.

I act with freedom in my heart.
I speak with freedom on my lips.
I walk with freedom in my feet.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation assists you in bringing freedom into your physical body by touching three key aspects of life: love, communication, movement. Freedom that is felt in the heart reveals itself in loving actions. Freedom that flows through the lips tells a story of hope and empowerment. Freedom that dances in the feet takes you to the places where you experience relief and joy. Let freedom touch every part of you so you can experience it with all your senses, feelings, and thoughts.

About Your Process
Today as you speak about freedom, you may also want to be attentive to how you and others speak about the opposite of freedom: limitations or bondage. Notice how language is used to empower or disempower yourself or others. You may even find yourself arguing for limitations — if so, notice, so that you take the first step in breaking the pattern. Witness, also, how and when you feel freedom in your heart, in your feet, and in other parts of you. As you observe yourself today (as you are a witness to your own actions), be uncritical and gentle with yourself. You may notice some things that you have not noticed before. Bless the witness and release anything that you do not need so that your actions today can be aligned with your intention.

Freedom energizes my actions.
I step out in freedom.

Greetings! Our theme is Freedom at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming freedom. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. Please check out our new Mini Course: Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly It’s free and empowering.

About Today’s Affirmation
What a wonderful concept to consider that freedom energizes your actions. Today, step out of distorted illusion. Step into freedom. So much of what humanity has come to believe as truth is the result of repeated focus of attention. All distortions are manifested by the misuse of energy or free will. Energy used to hurt or harm or trick or ridicule is energy misused. Many argue that they are “free” to hurt or harm or trick or ridicule (etc.), yet it is important to understand that such actions distort manifestations and generate dis-ease and create the appearance of limitations and other illusions. Today’s affirmation helps you to use the energy of freedom to propel yourself out of anything that is false or limiting. Step, step, step. The dance of freedom.

About Your Process
Today, you may want to consider what other concepts or feelings or values can work together with freedom to energize your actions. Or, what other concepts or feelings or values you desire to energize your actions. Step into them; step out of that which you do not desire or need. As you move through your day, identify the dance that you do with others. Do you step together? With the music? And what kind of group dance do you prefer? And how do you describe your solo dance? What is your career dance? What is the dance you do with trusted friends? What is your freedom dance?
