DailyAffirm

I let Spirit (My Higher Self, God, My Spirit Guides,
The One, The Force, Infinite Source)
purify any remaining thoughts and feelings of distrusting.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Today, trust Spirit to handle any non-trust thoughts and/or feelings that you may have missed. Use your favorite name for Spirit — or all the names you can think of . . . just in case. Experience yourself being nurtured by the purity of Spirit. Trust Spirit. Trust the process as you bring to a close this week of releasing, cleansing, forgiving, purifying, clearing, liberating, neutralizing negativity, and letting go of resistance.

About Your Process
Today, you may want to meditate with what I call the "White Light of Purification." Perhaps you know about or already work with "White Light" which is really the same. However, I like to use the longer name because I emphasize a specific and unique quality: a pure energy that has the ability to purify anything unlike itself. The human ego can miss or mistake dynamics in the energy field; Spirit knows purity and light.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow the Receiving/Accepting affirmations begin.
Today is a good day to cleanse your home or office, to
empty physical trash as well as emotional or mental
nontrust trash. After emptying out, there is more room to
receive and a greater ability to trust. You may also want
to re-visit your over-arching intention for trust.

Make this a deLIGHTful day!

I turn away from thoughts that suggest there is no trust.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Let this affirmation help you to continue with the idea of releasing non-trust and the thoughts that created them to make space for the thoughts that foster trust. Negative and/or outmoded thoughts, beliefs, intentions, feelings, and emotions that are inside or outside you can be transmuted to allow trust to thrive. Think of non-trust as weeds in a garden. Find methods that are ecologically friendly to remove the weeds so that trust can survive and grow.

About Your Process
Let’s play further with the idea of weeds in a garden. Let’s say that you desire to plant flowers or vegetables. Pick a favorite. I choose carrots. If I plant radish seeds I will not get carrots. So I plant carrot seeds. I plant them in fertile soil where the sun will reach them. And I make sure they get plenty of water. I am an organic gardener, so I use compost from previous growth to fertilize the soil. When weeds sprout, I remove them (to the compost pile!) so that they do not strangle my seedlings. I do not use poison to eliminate the weeds because that will disturb the environment. I trust carrots to grow from the carrot seeds. I remain attentive to neutralizing the weeds of non-trust and to taking care of my carrot crop. If I get sloppy, my carrots may still grow, but they will not be as healthy.

As you become aware of specific beliefs that are limiting thoughts, you may wish to return to working with the affirmations of May 1 and May 2. You can adjust either or both affirmations to incorporate the limiting beliefs that you discover, if you choose. You will find that writing these affirmations according to the DailyAffirm process will be particularly effective.

Make this a meaningful day!

I cut negative bonds of attachment to lack of confidence and lack of trust.
Ties to despair are dissolved.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
The energy field contains a wealth of information about what happens in your life — past, present, and future. When you are negatively attached to something in the past (an old hurt, for example) or something in the future (a worry, for example), or something in the present (a disappointment, for example) such attachments can show up in the energy field as negative bonds or ties to help you to neutralize them. They may look like strings or wires; they may feel coarse or limiting; they may sound shrilled or biting. When you can see or imagine that you see negative attachments in the energy field, you gain a new perspective which often suggests valuable strategies for empowerment. Welcome humor and lightness in your process.

About Your Process
Get out those scissors and cut those bonds! No scissors? Take the knives out of your back and use those! It does not matter whose fingerprints are on the knife handles, remove them and use the sharpness to cut negative bonds of attachment to anyone or anything that gets in the way of your confidence, trust, faith, and joy. Negative strings can be cut with nail clippers. Negative wires can be burned with a blow torch or severed with wire cutters. Chain links can be pried apart. So, discover an image that represents a negative situation and neutralize its effect in the energy field so that you can experience the benefits in your life. If you have ever felt despair, you know the potency of this energy. Either ask the angels to transmute the toxicity or dissolve it with your intention. Just do it quickly and re-focus your attention on what you want to experience.

I release memories that allowed belief in fear and lack of trust.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Surely you can name past situations that suggest that you are justified in believing in fear and/or doubt and/or lack of trust. Such situations can be used as growth opportunities so that you learn to choose trust and love and freedom regardless of immediate circumstances or appearances. When you train yourself to put your trust in the eternal invisible more than the temporary visible, you will discover that the energy of Trust transforms what you ordinarily call the "invisible" into the "visible."

About Your Process
I suggest that you use the simplest, least invasive ways to release these fear-based memories. Here are some examples: On the physical level, exercise to stimulate the cardiovascular system and/or use your breath to release with each exhalation. On the emotional level, cry and/or scream and/or write and/or laugh — no subject is needed, just clear the emotions by experiencing them. On the mental level, journal your thoughts and/or draw pictures that represent whatever has your attention. On the spiritual level, meditate regularly and ask higher consciousness and the angels to lighten your load. (Take a deep breath and recall your over-arching intention for Trust.)

I let go of everything that gets in the way of trust.
Angels clear the path.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
As you are today affirming that you are letting go of everything that gets in the way of trust, remind yourself that it is not necessary to know the particulars — trash is trash. Taking time to figure everything out can slow your progress. Here are some common barriers to trust: betrayal, hurt, fear, untruth, resistance, half-truth, false belief, distortion, confusion, jealousy, indecision. Together, let all these go. At an earlier time, perhaps, they were important or necessary. Today, angels support you in letting them go.

About Your Process
Here is an image that comes to my mind for today’s affirmation: Several burly angles are walking right in front of you with swords and sickles, cutting away anything that is obsolete or decayed. Behind you, other powerful angels pick up the stuff you are releasing so that you do not leave a mess as you proceed through the day giving your attention to what you desire. These angels support you in a freedom that transcends human understanding. Today, work with this suggested image or paint one of your own.

I rescind obsolete vows of silence and unworthiness.
The energy of these obsolete vows is now available for more enjoyable use.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation rescinds or neutralizes outdated vows. On the second day of each month, DailyAffirm presents some variation of the "vows of limitation" affirmation, with the caveat that you not become overly intrigued by the vows or limiting beliefs. Some of these old, outdated vows are very potent — so potent that powerful beings have been limited, slowed down, even stopped. As you neutralize the negativity of these outdated vows, you experience freedom. Just remember to give more attention to the freedom than to the vows or other limitations.

About Your Process
Do you feel that you cannot speak about something? Perhaps it is time to speak!
Do you believe that you are unworthy? Now, feel your self-worth!
Have you experienced betrayal? This is the perfect time to move on!
Do you feel you do not have enough? Know that you have all you need, right now!

It is time to let go of the past. Recently when I was doing a session with a client who needed to let go, he said through his sobs, "I don’t know how to let go." How wonderful! He was letting go without even knowing that he was letting go. Tears are a deeply healing way to release. Hint: it is the resistance that you most need to let go of, so do not get caught up in the contents of the release.

About Rescinding Limiting Beliefs
I have posted an article at my Web Site explaining the process of rescinding limiting beliefs. This extensive article is available in several sections. Click on the link below to read the article.

I give myself permission to release fear and anger
from every level of the energy field, with effortless grace.

Greetings! Our theme is Trust. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
My vision for each of you who reads DailyAffirm is to live in effortless grace most of the time. You can let your normal breathing assist you by breathing in light and trust, and breathing out fear and anger. The words fear and/or anger can be replaced by any concepts or words that capture the idea of interfering with trust. Release those persons / places / things / ideas that interfere with trust. This affirmation also opens up every layer and level of your energy field, setting up a release of persons / places / things / ideas that may not be in your ordinary awareness.

About Your Process
As you are working with these cleansing affirmations all this week, recognize that you are activating a release of those things that get in the way of trust. If you become aware of some discomfort, simply turn your attention to something that is more comfortable. The discomfort can be as slight as a twinge or as intense as a healing crisis, which unfortunately is often called illness. When the discomfort gets your attention, acknowledge it swiftly, thank your body for the information, then place your attention elsewhere. Let grace prevail. You will not always be in a state of grace, just return to that state as soon as you can.

With these dynamics in mind, I suggest that you write today’s affirmation as a way of activating the release at a deep level. Writing affirmations in certain patterns facilitates the release of issues to enhance the clearing process. You can vary the pattern to make it work for you.

Greetings in the 1st week of May with the theme of Trust at DailyAffirm, which you may want to immediately re-designate "Self-trust." In this message, I will give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day, or simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily reminders by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (check the options on the navigation bar).

About Your Over-arching Intention
If you have not already done so, please identify your over-arching intention for Trust. That is, develop a statement that guides you in the exploration and embodiment of trust. Intention is the energy or consciousness from which actions emerge. If you are uncertain how to write this intention, just make an attempt. Keep it simple. You have 31 days to work with the intention and the theme, so let your statement change and deepen. Here are a few suggestions for statements of intention about the theme of Trust: *To experience the world as a trusting place. *To resonate with the consciousness of trust. *I am trust, trusting, and trustworthy. *To trust myself. *To be a place for trust to thrive.

About Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations and Trust
It is possible (although by no means certain) that as you are releasing and cleansing this week, energies / emotions / thoughts of the opposite of trust might appear: for example, distrust, mistrust, broken trust. To this dynamic I say: trust the process! The process is working. To live in a state of trust you must also know how to recognize distrust, mistrust, broken trust, or other resistance.

Consider this. You meet someone for the first time. You immediately feel distrusting. Where does this distrust come from? The several possibilities are: from you, from that person, from the environment / situation / others, from all or any combination of these. You are not responsible for the trust / distrust / mistrust that someone else carries in his or her energy field, nor do you need to fully understand it in the specific situation. You are, however, responsible for your own trust / distrust / mistrust because you will connect with others who are similar in their relationship to trust. Put your attention on self-trust and everything else will find its rightful place.

About Your Process in the First Week
As you proceed through these first seven days of May, I suggest that you pay particular attention to how you and others use the word "trust." Just notice and learn about the consciousness of trust by the way the word is used to represent this consciousness. It is the consciousness that is more meaningful than the word chosen to represent the consciousness.

I recommend that you write one or more of this week’s affirmations. I have developed a process which is described in the book, "Affirmations: A Pathway to
Transformation" and in an article entitled, "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment."

About the Affirmations in the First Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent releasing and cleansing for Trust it would be the affirmation for May 1: I give myself permission to release fear and anger from every level of the energy field, with effortless grace. You may prefer to use words other than "fear" and "anger." Choose words that are most relevant to your own needs.

Make this a wondrous week!

I let Spirit
(My Higher Self, God, My Spirit Guides,
The One, The Force, Infinite Source)
clear any remaining thoughts and feelings of disorder and impurity.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-clarity. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
On this last day of this first week of April, trust Spirit to clear away thoughts and feelings that may interfere with your experience of clarity. Choose one or any combination of names for Spirit. Disorder and impurity are suggested ideas that reflect "non-clarity." Other possibilities are confusion, distortions, toxicity, fog, dizziness, contamination, disorder, indecision. While you may sometimes get distracted by words, know that Spirit needs no words. Trust. Surrender to Spirit for the Light.

About Your Process
This is the last of the official "clearing" days this month for the theme of clarity. However, you are likely to continue to experience clearing for clarity because this is a process, not a singular event. You collected non-clarity in cycles; now you release in cycles. So, take a moment to allow anything that may remain within your consciousness that needs to be cleared or cleaned. You may be able to name it specifically or not. Simply trust that when using today’s affirmation all that is unclear becomes clear in the right and perfect time. Trust the process.

About Related Articles

• "Trust: New Bottom Line" focuses on replacing trust in the visible with trust in the invisible to assist in moving to a new and more trusting paradigm.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow DailyAffirm re-focuses the theme of clarity with affirmations that reflect the ideas of Receiving/Accepting. To open up to clarity in your life can be the first step in receiving all the blessings you desire. You may also want to re-visit your over-arching intention for clarity as you shift from this week’s type of affirmation to tomorrow’s.

Make this a pure day!

I dissolve thoughts that suggest there is no clarity.
I say goodbye to confusion.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-clarity. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation continues the ideas expressed in the last few days. Say goodbye to confusion, goodbye to anything that is unclear. The next time you meet non-clarity, you can recognize it more easily and say goodbye again. Put your attention on what you desire to manifest: clear vision, true mission, calming peace, unconditional love, rewarding relationships. When you give your attention to such desires, confusion disappears.

About Your Process
As you continue to neutralize those things that have been or have appeared to be distorted, you can use many different techniques and strategies. One technique is always with you and costs nothing: your breath, and more specifically, intentional breathing. You can use your breath to breathe in clarity and peace; then breathe out confusion and disharmony. Breathe in spirit; breathe out illusions. Breathe in light; breathe out anything unlike the light. Create your own breathing mantra and let your breath work for you on multiple levels. When you are ready, you can breathe in clarity and breathe out clarity.

As you become aware of specific beliefs that are limiting thoughts, you may wish to return to working with the affirmations of April 1 and April 2. You can adjust either or both affirmations to incorporate the limiting beliefs that you discover, if you choose.
