Your Daily Affirmation for August 6, 2009:

Today I elevate my consciousness to the higher levels of life. Today I consciously choose to hold the highest thoughts I can imagine for myself and others in every situation I encounter. Today, I am upward bound and I name it all good!


This affirmation evokes the saying 'You are where you are by right of consciousness'. Translation? Consciousness refers to Mind State-- your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, attitudes and focus. By spiritual law and practical fact, Consciousness directly or indirectly dictates the experiences of your life. The expression "as a man thinketh" is the prophetic message of many poems and many books, even the Bible. I hear a common protest, 'but my consciousness doesn't bring about natural disasters or situations caused by other people'. While this may be accurate in a sense, the fact remains that the Consciousness we bring to any situation affects our response to it and our ultimate experience of the situation. So today, tune up your consciousness and name it all good.

Wishing you peace, joy, health, wisdom, love, acceptance and all manner of prosperity!
