Affirmations: Affirmation for Good Health

Most religious teachings aver that one can do nothing to uplift oneself: One can only wait for God's grace to descend. Other teachings aver the opposite - that man must do the whole work of upliftment himself, without the benefit of grace.

Paramhansa Yogananda brought these two teachings together into a harmonious whole. He explained that we should use "our own, but God-given power". God, in other words, doesn't do all the work for us, but neither can we do it all alone.

Where we ourselves are concerned, our role in transforming our consciousness is significant. Affirmation is one way to involve ourselves in this process. Without personal involvement, divine grace won't keep us from drifting downstream helplessly like a scattering of fallen petals.

 Affirmations should be positive, rhythmic, and forceful. Never, for instance, make negative affirmations such as "I'm not ill." The operative declaration to your subconscious must not be that word "ill." Affirm then, instead, "I am well!"

Good health is more than the state of not being ill! It is a radiant state of inner well-being.

Physical illnesses may be cured by medicines. No medicine, however, can induce that state of boundless energy, which comes when every cell in the body cooperates with the mind willingly, joyfully, in all that it seeks to do.

The following affirmation will help you cultivate such radiant well-being, by clearing your mind of every shadow of unwillingness, of fear and of doubt.

My body cells obey my will: They dance with divine vitality! I am well! I am strong! I am a flowing river of boundless power and energy!

Prayer

O mighty Source of all that is right and good, help me to see my strength as an expression of Thy infinite power. Let me banish the darkness of disease: It is forever foreign to Thy light!
