Chapter 7 Sweet Talk Your Inner Genie
Gini smiles as she enters the Lumera Classroom. “Words are weapons. They can be life-saving, and joy making, or they can cut someone into pieces. Each word is a symbol that unwinds in your psyche. Have you been taught to speak to yourself kindly?”
“Do you monitor your thoughts and change them if they do not serve you? Do you know words and thoughts are not necessarily the truth? “Of course, I do,” you will answer. But, if so, then why do you worry so much about random thoughts, or opinions?” asks Gini.
“Your subconscious believes what you tell it. You can increase your anxiety and fear by feeding it doubtful and negative thoughts. Or nourish it with helpful, and hopeful information that will benefit you. It does mean you need to pay attention to your self-talk and make it the script you want to live. Today, we will learn how to use words in ways that are helpful,” promises Gini.
Genie Lesson # 56
Use Power Words to Heighten Belief
Afformations (Power Words) and Affirmations
The effect of Flower essences is boosted by pollinating with other remedies, one of which is the power of words. This is done through “afformations.” This concept was discovered by Noah St. John, (2013) and is a way of planting new thoughts into the mind. The right afformation might nurture new ideas and foster hope and possibility. Noah suggests that afformations should be phrased as questions. This format is different than affirmations, which are worded as statements.
An affirmation could be, “I love myself deeply.”
The afformation might be, “How is it I love myself so deeply?”
According to Noah St. John, afformations may create less resistance than affirmations. Afformations take into account that your wish is still forming, rather than firming up the idea with affirmations. St. John feels questions can seep into your consciousness more easily than statements, as they are less challenging to the inner critic.
You plant the word seed as a question, so the universe and your psyche understand that something is still developing. When it emerges, this new perspective or quality may help you gain more clarity, receptivity, and completion.
When I use afformations with flower essences, it creates a synergistic effect, more potent than either the afformation or the flower essence used alone. An afformation is a good “word spell” or a word seed; you plant in your subconscious mind.
Wordsmith afformations around your wish or goal to heighten the power of what you truly want or need. Then the behaviour you implement to support the goal puts this powerful, wish-granting formula into action.
Boost Wishes by Using Flower Essences and Afformations
I have found when I use afformations in combination with flower essences; the universe conspires to help. A great intention combined with an open question attracts the curious angels.
An intention signals you are ready to make peace with parts of yourself that are jagged and transform what no longer works.
Repeat your afformation when you take your flower essence. Say it with passion and belief. Do the same thing when making wishes, emotion heightens the chance of the request being granted by triggering the subconscious mind to accept the new idea as being important.
Afformations and Flower essences together will increase the potency of your wish.
